Background“Lone Star made me. I was an experimental model, a new Mage Hunter. The rest of my litter all died when we were young, and even though they tried numerous times, they weren’t able to get any more survivors. They trained me to hunt in the Federation of Magic as an assassin. You don’t want to know the methods they used in my training, believe me. I try not to think about those times. I don’t believe they fully understood all of my abilities, but were going to use me.”
“My first real mission was also my last one. It was during the Siege of Tolkeen. I was sent to get into the city and take out targets of convenience among the enemy forces… mages who were on their own. Due to my nature, I was able to get through their magical protections and into the city. My first target ended up a Shifter. He had just finished off summoning a Demon and was drained by the effort. I finished him in his sleep. My second, and last, target was a Techno-Wizard alone in his shop at night working. He never knew what hit him. After I killed him, I saw the pictures on his workbench of his wife and kids. While I was searching his shop for some intel to help me choose my next target, I heard his family approach. I hid and watched, thinking that if any had magical ability, I would kill them too. I wasn’t prepared for what I saw. I saw the shock, horror, and then anguish at seeing him dead. I then snuck out, knowing I could never again participate in a war like this one. I guess my wolf genes overriding my subservient dog genes.”
“I made my way out of the city and took out my handlers. Knowledge of me and my abilities was never known widely, and this was most of those in the know. The only ones who should know were back at Lone Star. I then left the area and came here to perhaps perform penance for the deaths of that man. George Wassing. The Shifter was a Demon summoner, but George was just a family man with a skill that was trying to help protect his family. I don’t know if his family survived, but I know I would have never been able to get them safe of the siege, even if they would’ve trusted me. Instead, I try to help people where I can. I use my skills for good, taking out those who like hurting others, and however else I can.”
“Am I worthy of joining, probably not, but I need to help, and you seem to be the best way to get support to do that.”
