He had grown up in a relatively small town in the state of Montana but had aspired as he got older to travel the states and see all its sites. Upon his final year of college at the age of 24, he did just that and went forth into the world. For a year he traveled across the country making new friends and trying new experiences yet one place had oddly stuck out to him to which he moved to and that was Erehwon in Vermont, when it came time to settle on a place to live and start working he choose that little town buying a house slightly outside the towns limits near the edge of some woods. For three years he lived in his home with little problem, enjoying his job as a car mechanic. The event that changed his world unleashing the beast beneath the skin, was an attack that happened on the 15th of July 2010 (age would be 27, few months before turning 28). It had been a nice day, a day he planned to visit the woods and do a bit of hiking, go camping and then return home, something he had done countless times before in the woods outside of Erehwon. That week had invited a long time friend ,Evan Huntson, of his who had been visiting to join him. Tholo and his friend had just finished making camp that night when they had started to hear odd noises just beyond the dim light of the fire. It sounded like a wolf or dog growling yet it was deeper as if coming from something much larger then a wolf. Tholo had spotted the glow of piercing yellow eyes in the darkness, lit by the fire, just before the attack. Tholo remembered little of what happened after the attack. Their camp site had shortly been found later by another set of fellow campers, who turned out to be shifters. They managed to drag Tholo and his friend down the mountain just before daybreak and get help but even before being found by the good samaritans it was to late to save Tholo's friend. With the full moon after the accident came around all Tholo remembered from that night was agonizing pain while making his way to bed and then waking up in some strange part of the woods with no clothes and the decomposing carcass of what remained of a deer. Horrified at the site he had ran off before assessing the situation. He only ran a few hundred yards before luckily coming across a road. He appeared to remain in the same town as he found the street name and was able to find his way home. His home had been in a mess on return. The back door was ripped from the frame, the living area turn apart along with the kitchen and dinning area. He had no explanation on what had caused all the damages to his house. He had to hire someone out for repairs, making up the story that his house had been robbed while he slept. The repairmen seemed to of bought it and went to work. The truth wouldn't come to Tholo until after the second full moon. Before that he chalked most of the recent changes to him with seasonal changes or perhaps overworking himself (first night of the new moon). The second change had him awaken in another part of the woods with the same pair of strangers that had saved his life before. That was when Tholo learned that the world was a bit bigger then he once thought. These people revealed that they themselves were what were called shifters, people able to change form into wolves and that after finding Tholo and Evans and getting them to safety they had investigated into what had attacked them. They had learned that the attack was caused by a lycanthrope, a terrible wolf beast. It seemed whoever the lycanthrope was, they were not from Erewhon, or commonly called Nowhere by the nonhumans usually. Since that day Tholo tried to learn as much as he could on the new world he had been thrown into. While he had gained the means to be a shifter like his two fellow saviors and teachers, he also had the more sinister wolf beast creature lurking, waiting for those full moon nights to be unleashed. For seven years he has lived with his curse, developing his routine. After learning of the beast underneath the skin, he withdrew into himself becoming quick to anger and preferring to be left alone. While seemingly desiring to join a pack, he fears the other half that comes out at night thus he had determined it was best to just withdraw and keep contact with others to a minimum. To keep the beast from hurting anyone usually before the full moon he goes to a metal shed he made that so far has kept the beast contained during the night.
