Alpine the Fair

The Alpine Pack leader

You hear the tumble of rocks to your left, and turn your gaze to a looming rock face. To your surprise, a grey wolf is descending the cliff edge, weaving between jutting rocks with ease. As they approach, you notice the lighter patches of white in their pelt and their dark eyes. "What are you doing in our territory?" The wolf barks, his voice deep and stern.

Another wolf emerges behind a patch of shrubbery. By her fluid and smooth movements, you suspect she's a female. She sweeps toward you, her thickset coat swaying as she walks. "Leave her alone, Alpine." The female releases a demoralised sigh, and her dark gaze washes over you in curiosity. "A traveller, maybe?" She murmurs.

Alpine growls in annoyance. "But Ena, what if they're from Grey Mountain?" You wonder what "Grey Mountain" could be - you have certainly never heard of it.

Ena exchanges a scowl with the male, and he shrinks under her gaze. You hear a howl in the distance and your ears perk up. "That's our pack! Quick, quick, follow me." Ena ushers, turning to tail the hurrying Alpine. You are left with no choice but to follow…

Alpine is a fair, just leader. He praises honesty and loyalty above all, and favours the stronger wolves of his pack over the intellectual. Despite his somewhat questionable decisions, he always tries to do what is best for his pack. Alpine was the first to create the Alpine Pack, founding it on strength and loyalty. He created the first generation with his mate, Ena, then claiming some of the loners only if deemed worthy. So far, all his heirs have been killed off, which he thinks can't be a consequence. He blames his pack for not taking better care of them, and keeps his few remaining daughters close and sons closer.
