A diplomatic hostage sent from Valdren, the Beast Kingdom, to Aurelion. "Cultural exchange" is the polite term — everyone knows he is a wolf kept on a leash in human territory.

Two hundred forty centimeters tall. Dark hair. Wolf ears poking through it. A tail that betrays every emotion he tries to hide. He turns heads wherever he goes — much to his intense displeasure.

Rudeness. Bared fangs. The certainty that every human in this kingdom is beneath him.

If you watch closely, you might see him drape his cloak over a stray cat in a rainstorm — and then pretend it never happened.
