Azkaban

**Azkaban** is owned by **Whiskers**

**Azkaban** was a black smoke tom.

## Description

### Physical

Of the brothers, Azkaban was the most slender-built and agile. He relied on his stamina to chase down and separate his target from groups before running them to near-exhaustion before ending their life. He had long legs and was relatively skinny, perhaps not appearing as much of a threat at first. However, his stamina proved incredible and a very useful tool in combat.

The tom was a black smoke with thick fur of a medium-short length, perhaps more so the former. His mane-like ruff was tinged silver from his genetics, whereas the rest of his coat was a smoky-black shade. Azkaban's coat was coarse in terms of texture, but despite his length of fur, he was still a phenomenal runner.

### Personality

The tom had always been relatively quiet and somewhat of a follower with his brothers, but their bloodthirsty behaviors were quick to rub off on him. They called him a "coyote", because he found thrill in the chase of his feline prey. Azkaban seemed to enjoy living on the edge for several moons with a daring personality and guts to live up to whatever task he was given. However, as he aged, he began to move towards the light. He realized that the lifestyle he was living was not a good one, hinting that the tom had underlying morals. Azkaban was exceptionally caring towards his mate, so much that he was willing to sacrifice his own life in order to get the clan patrols off her tail, and save their only daughter.

## History

### Background

Azkaban was born alongside his three brothers: Bors, Angelo, and Nox. Their mother had a wicked obsession with the Dark Forest and ended up sacrificing her mate in an effort to communicate with them. Her offering had caught their attention, blessing their offspring by allowing her kits to be sired by a member of the dead. As a result, the four brothers had a strong connection to the Dark Forest. They were born living, but their power was fed through their connection to the dark ancestors.

Their powers did not go unnoticed. Scarstar was impressed with their talents, and when he formed ScarClan, he requested that they join, for they would be rewarded. The group worshiped the Dark Forest, so certainly their power would only tenfold. The brothers agreed, and so they were given the special rank of Elites, and forever would their tales be remembered.

At first, Azkaban was just as wild as his brothers. His stamina proved incredibly useful in tracking down targets that attempted to escape, and his way of putting his victims to death quickly became the most brutal.

However, many moons later while off on a solo mission, he ended up falling in love with one of his targets. Around this time, the Elites were becoming targeted by the resident clans, who had banded together in an effort to kill the Elites and prevent them from picking off the clans in the name of ScarClan. With Angelo being killed, Azkaban was becoming more careful, more secretive. Overtime, he found his morals, and hated himself for what he was doing.

More than anything else, the tom wanted a family with the mate he'd slowly fallen in love with, the only target he failed to kill. The she-cat announced that she was pregnant, and so the pair decided that they would run away, far away, where they could live in peace and leave their demons behind.

Unfortunately, CaveClan was hot on their trail. Because the blood of the warriors of the Dark Forest ran through his veins, Azkaban knew that his abilities were genetic. They would kill his kits. So, he made the ultimate sacrifice so that his mate could flee with his daughter and live in peace.
