Name: Klaus

Age: 32

Race: Garou 
[hider=Garou]
Garou are a breed of Wolf Shifter. Unlike Werewolves, or other Lycanthropes, being a Garou is not a curse. It is something one is born with. A Spiritual Blessing from a Moon Spirit. 
Garou stem from an ancient Human Tribe that lived alongside Wolves in the harsh snow wastes to the North. Some time during the Second Age, the tribe was attacked. As man and Wolf fought and died side by side, a minor Moon Deity came down and used her spiritual magic to combine the Wolves and Men into mighty warriors. In the years since, Garou have become a noble honourable tribe. A pack. 
Since their creation they have had a checkered past. The potency of their magical blood meant that they could not breed with each other. Having to breed with humans or wolves to continue to grow as a pack. 
Cubs/Babies normally go through their First Change when they are six. It is at this point they find out if the offspring inherited the Garou magic. 
Garou abide by a strict code. Which is as follows. 

Garou Shall Not Mate With Garou 
Respect the Territory of Another
Accept an Honorable Surrender
Submission to Those of Higher Station
Respect Those of Lower Station, for all are of the Moon.
The First Share of the Kill for Greatest in Station
Ye Shall Not Eat the Flesh of Humans
Do Not Suffer Thy People to Tend Thy Sickness
The Leader May Be Challenged At Any Time During Peace
The Leader May Not Be Challenged During Wartime

Unlike normal Werewolves, who can only shift between two forms (man and wolf). Garou have access to five forms. The Homid form is virtually indistinguishable from that of an ordinary human being; in this form, the werewolf can travel through cities and crowds without being discovered.
The Glabro form (like some sort of Lupine Mr. Hyde), can still pass for human – somewhat – but while drawing on a portion of the werewolf's true power. Stronger, faster and more resilient than Homid, the Glabro form is still just a shadow of the werewolf's true killing power.
The Crinos form is the true battle form of the Garou, the form they take when no solution save violence will do. A hybrid of human and wolf, infused with the superhuman strength of this warrior race, the Crinos Garou is one of the most efficient killing machines in the world. 
The Hispo is the massive wolf of nightmare, a throwback to prehistoric days when the dire wolves were the size of ponies. It is a form designed to hunt – and to kill.
The Lupus form is the true "wolf" form of the Garou, allowing werewolves to hunt and live among wolf packs, or to call on the speed and superior senses of the wolf. Many a hunter has come to a horrible end after wounding a werewolf that he mistook for an ordinary animal – or the mate of a Garou who has chosen to live as a wolf for a time.

Appearance: Klaus is an imposing figure by most standards. Standing at 6’3 he is considered tall by human standards. Built from a surviving in a harsh land. His dark blond hair is long and unkept. He spends most of his time in Homid form, as he was born from a human, and his wolf Form is that of a white wolf. 

Equipment: Klaus uses rather simple gear. A large iron hand and a half sword, and a long bow. Wearing studded leather Armour in his Homid form. He is often clad in furs. 

Magic: Klaus uses an odd mix Primal Magic and Spiritual Magic. Though his real skill lies in physical combat. The small amount of magic he does possess, he is very good at. He can infuse his arrows or his sword with an element, increasing its damage output or giving it some utility. 
His most notable magic is inherited from the Garou. Called “Stepping Sideways.” It is a type of magic that allows the Garou to step off the material plane. Commonly used as a short range teleportation to catch prey off guard, it has allowed the Garou to commune with spirits on a regular basis. 

History: Klaus was born to a Human Mother. His father a Garou who had come into the City to trade furs and meat. His mother didn’t know the man was a Garou, and the man left without knowing he had fathered a child. 
So, Klaus spent the first six years of his life living as a human. He has a generally happy childhood. Playing with other kids. 
One night, Klaus had his first change. The unaware Villagers thought he was a Werewolf. So they chased him from the town. 
Left alone in the snowy wastes of the north, Klaus struggled to survive. Relying on his wolf instincts to keep him alive. After two years, he was found by a Garou Pack. A group of Garou who lived with real wolves to hide themselves from hunters, or the uneducated, who would think them cursed. Growing in a village where man and wolf are equal in the pack made Klaus happy. Happier then he had been at home. He missed his mother, but was starting to feel apart of this new family. He spent twenty three years as a part of the pack. He had formed a sort of sibling bond with the other Garou and was favoured to be the next Alpha of the pack. This was much to one of the other Garou’s dismay. He was still seen as an outsider by some. 
Klaus was framed. A dead human hidden in his hut. He was banished from the Pack. So, he made his way to join the Way Farer’s guild. Joined by Rath, his spirit companion that takes the form of an eagle.
