Player: Kodiak
Cannon or your own: Mine! Mine! Mine!
Civilian Identity: Alec Durban
Gender: Male
Apparent age: 32 years.
Age: 32 years.
Hair: Alec wears his dark hair cut just long enough to oil back form an offset side part. Even under the influence of product, there are a few bits that find their way free, not any more willing to be tamed than the man himself.
Eyes: Alec's eyes are chocolate brown that can disappear into his pupils when his attention is focused on anyone or anything. Even when skeptical, Alec's eyes express interest and seem to draw others in.
Height and weight: Alec stands an even six feet as a man, with a solid 160 lb frame. He is muscular without being bulky and dresses to appear fit, but average. He isn't an overly tall man but neither is he short.
Alec dresses in city fashion of the 1920's because he was raised in Chicago and worked in the family business for most of his life. Durbans care about keeping up appearances for both family stature in the community and clout in the business world. Even in South Dakota, Alec keeps to traditions in regard to dress and grooming.
Abilities: Alec is able to control his transformations every night of the year and to help weres who share an emotional connection with him. When he shifts, Alec is 160 lbs of serious black timberwolf. In human, wolf and hybrid form, Alec holds an unusual amount of emotional control. He is very good at setting his feelings aside for good or ill and therefore those closest to him may question his attachment to them.
Equipment: Alec carries small concealable pistols of varying calibers and owns two Tommy guns from the family arsenal. He is reasonably skilled with small blades but does not care to handle swords of any length or design.
Origin of Abilities: An attack in nearby South Dakota badlands twelve years before. Alec nearly died from bloodloss after the wolf attack, but was saved by two men who worked for his grandfather, nursed to health by a local (werewolf) doctor and brought in to that pack to learn to embrace his new nature.
Weaknesses: The man in Alec is self-assured and over-confident. He drifts into arrogance without realizing. He can also miss when he's being played if he underestimates the person he's dealing with. As a human man, these flaws have mild impact on his life and social status. As a werewolf they make his life difficult. The wolf inside craves connection to the pack, while his past makes him hostile to authority. He cannot be in charge even though he wants to be. His trust has been battered by people he loves like family, but they left him behind.
Personalty: Friendly and outgoing, Alec makes and generally keeps lots of friends. He's intelligent and cocky, doesn't back down easily, but loyal to his friends, pack and family. He has a talent for nurturing alliances, he flirts freely with women, more subtly with men. He's dominant by nature, but submits to his accepted leaders. Once he's decided to accept them.
He likes to have fun in speakeasies and brawl with packmates. He helps his friends try to look good to potential mates. Far from perfect, Alec still tries to be a good guy, and follows his own code of morality.
Background: In an extremely hot summer, the unmarried daughter of Italian immigrants gave birth to a son in the heart of Chicago. Alec was raised by his mother, grandparents and three teen-aged aunts. He attended parochial school, wore nice clothes, learned to dress and socialize with the upper middle class community around him. At the same time he learned that love always has strings. He helped with the family business, even when it was made clear that a bastard son would always be inferior to his much younger legitimately born cousins.
He toed the line and was rewarded with tuition to good schools and earned a post graduate degree in psychology. His grandfather expected Alec to use it to aid in the family smuggling business. To that end he was riding literal shotgun through South Dakota as a 20 year old when their transport caravan was attacked by wolves. Three hired men were killed, but two others managed to rescue Alec and get him to medical care in the nearest town.
In town he met the local pack, and out of necessity broke ties with the family syndicate. He was a werewolf and he needed to be among strong alphas to learn how to manage his new condition. In the following years he has only returned home a handful of times. He's come over to Timber ridge to find and help stabilize the pack.
Base of Operations: TBD
Criminal Record: He is associated with the Durban family and wanted for questioning in Chicago on general principle. He is wanted for recruitment by the US Army to aid in interrogating prisoners due to his education and fluency in Italian.
