Crane

Iradessa (Sister)

Angus and Zilar (Brothers)

Lepotica (Adoptive Sister)

Crane was a dark-gray male wolf with stormy gray eyes, born into Havir to parents Fume and Cyrus. He was the brother of Angus, Iradessa, and Zilar, and committed the terrible sin of matricide, killing his mother when he was a juvenile and escaping punishment by fleeing Havir. He followed the voices in his head - the voices, he believed, were his gods - and left the Domain. He was created and RP'd by Hyperesis.

## Personality

* ***Zealous.*** Crane is a zealot about the Havirian religion (or, whatever corrupted version of it he has accepted as a result of the voices in his mind).
* ***Entitled, Confident, and Cocky.*** His personality seems, to say the least, a bit unusual. He acts as if he's entitled to everything. He's very confident and cocky, but is a big softie when it comes to interactions with his parents. However, he tends to distance himself from his siblings.
* ***Curious and Smart.*** He seems very open to most individuals, and always tends to focus on other wolves aside from him, constantly wanting to take in a vast amount of knowledge. Very intelligent for his age. Not only is the young male smart, but he seems to be observing and even practicing fighting techniques on his own.
* ***Unstable and Impressionable.*** To no one's knowledge, he has schizophrenia, though he very much believes the voices are the gods speaking to him. These voices have gotten him in a lot of trouble time and time again, but many pack members seem to believe he is just a brave and adventurous pup. But the voices are getting darker, more sinister. And the problem is, he isn't turning them away, but is listening to everything he is told to do. These voices tell him he is a prophet, to take over the packs and kill all those who are unworthy. He speaks of this to no one, knowing full well many wolves would think him crazy. He acts suspicious and cold around wolves the voices deem as unworthy. Though, many wouldn't think twice of his behavior. Yet.

## Pre-Group History

Born to Cyrus and Fume of Havir, Crane was one of four blessings to the couple - alongside his siblings Angus, Zilar, and Iradessa. However, this blessing would come with unforeseen consequences for his loving family...

## Group History

From an early age, Crane believed that he could hear otherworldly voices, whispering in his ears constantly, urging him to purge Havir of its sins. When he discovered that his mother, Fume, had borne a litter before his, at a young age, to her mentor, in her previous pack, he was mortified - especially when he discovered that the pups had been *killed.* He immediately assumed that *she* had been the one to kill her young, and needed to be punished for it.

He bided his time, lashing out at his mother as a pup for this information, unwilling to hear the truth of the story, and he waited until he was a juvenile - big enough, *strong* enough, to do what he believed needed to be done.

As he approached young adulthood (though still a juvenile), he approached his mother as she slept, and sank his fangs into her throat. Fume lashed out, desperately trying to claw at his eye to get him to release her, and while she managed to blind him in one eye, he did not let go, and Fume died that night. Crane dragged her body out of the den and lay it in front of Saurugol's den, and nobody knew who was responsible.

But the whispers spread. Realizing that he might be found out, and hearing the voices in his head urging him beyond the Domain, he fled, with no followers to his murderous devotion to the Havirian religion (or whatever corrupt version of Havirian religion he believed in).

## Trivia

* Crane was not acting out of evil intentions - he was *genuinely* convinced that he was acting out the will of the gods and that what he was doing was for the good of Havir, and the good of the Domain.
* The voices he hears are a result of schizophrenia.
* Crane was adopted by halloumicheese and briefly RP'd by them as an Arynian; however, out of respect for Loomi's wishes, this ***only*** encapsulates Crane's time in the Domain under Hyperesis's ownership.

## Quotes

* "The gods have spoken to me mother...they say…there is a need for rebirth in Havir…I am to be the one who rids the pack of all it’s sinners. It must be such an honor to be the first. You will lead the reformation, mother...it all begins once you pay for your sins. By suffering the pain you put your first offspring through." (to a sleeping Fume prior to killing her, *Absolve*)
* "Your pack is full of sinners, *Ade*Saurugol. Including yourself. I will be sure to rid Havir of every last one…” (from *Absolve*)
