Khalon
Breed: Wolf
Family: Tulia (sister)
Personality:
Khalon is rather brutish in nature with strength being his number one priority. Weakness irritates him because showing weakness means showing that the pack is weak. Valuing strength so heavily puts him at odds with his more peaceful sister, and he can't help but make an example of her in front of the pack to be sure they don't become lax in their combat skills. He can tell his actions hurt Tulia, but being soft with her would go against his critical attitude towards his pack. On another level, he wants to make his sister tougher so that she doesn't need to be made the example. He can't accept that she won't change.
Speaking of being critical, Khalon is very critical of all the wolves in his pack. He wants nothing less than perfection from them and can be rather harsh when someone messes up. His own physical abilities keep the rest of his pack from questioning his criticism and leadership, and many of his packmates accept his criticism as advice on how to make themselves stronger. He wants his pack to be the most powerful pack in the area, and anyone who gets in the way of that goal can expect to get an earful from him, especially if his temper gets the better of him.
Khalon is a firm believer in "the end justifies the means". He would easily sacrifice one of his pack members if the entire pack benefits. This is one reason he's so quick to disregard Tulia's feelings when he uses her as an example for the other pack members. His ideals come from watching his parents when they were the leaders of the pack. Compassion didn't seem to get them anywhere, and the pack was constantly harassed by the other packs around their borders. Khalon knew he needed to take control to make the pack strong enough to fight the opposing packs, which meant usurping his parents from rule. His end justifies the means mentality allowed him to both take over and exile his parents from the pack.
Despite his harsh exterior, there is a part of Khalon that feels remorse for his actions. He locks it away as a weakness he doesn't want to deal with and moves forward. He also tends to physically lash out at anyone who makes him think of his guilt and denies the guilt exists. He feels it's in his pack's best interest to move forward and make them the strongest they can be rather than thinking of his feelings.
Quote: I do not need to defend myself. My actions have always been in my pack's best interest.
