P e r s o n a l i t y
I was born as the second son of the seventh son, our society dictated me to be second to the eldest of my siblings. I was however born for a very different destiny and I made sure I had it - power and strength is never given to you, you have to take it. Power is achieved, greatness is achieved. What kind of alpha of my pack would I be if I had allowed for a weaker member of it to take lead?
Samuel had always considered himself to be a good person yet he’d been hungry for power, for the title his older brother was meant to claim. When he challenged Benjamin for the title of the alpha of their pack, his brother had laughed at his face. He was shorter than he was, he was physically weak for sure. Benjamin’s mockery of him had enraged him, unleashed the wolf so fast that when he killed him, there had been nothing left of him. His parents would only discover the event after it had been done and as Josiah tried to keep his mother away from him, still feeling the rage of his son, Ainsley had launched herself forward in horror only to be killed as well. There was no way Samuel could have stopped himself. Not until she had been dead, not until her lifeless body stared up at him. It had left a mark on him. His humanity was in the tears that followed. Samuel didn’t care at all for his older brother but it had been the death of his mother that had brought him to tears.
It had been his defining moment, the start of his true fate - the future alpha of the pack. Josiah had been angry with him for what he had done to them but eventually had forgiven him. Samuel would take time to discover himself in the wilderness - to hunt, to survive off the land as he trained himself, grew stronger. When he returned, his siblings had been afraid of him and his father had grown weaker with grief. Samuel had no choice but to stand before the remaining three siblings and swear to them that no harm would befall on them. His youngest sister had argued with him but was held back by their brother and sister. They were wolves, it had been his right. It was how they had always been raised. Even in the society of humans, they were wolves. Their laws were different.
There was just one small problem - he had discovered a taste for the killing, for the fresh blood, for the raw meat. He has since continued his diet, even though a lot of his time was spent in human form. Samuel had been easy enough though to accept that he was the wolf, not the man; he was a predator, the alpha. His humanity was only rediscovered when an affair resulted in the birth of his daughter Isabella, her mother dying at childbirth, and leaving Samuel with the newborn. His sisters would help with the little one the best they could, but Samuel had grown to love his daughter, devoted himself to training her. Whether she was alpha or he’d have more children, he would not say though - if he had to fight for his role, then perhaps his own children would have to as well.
It had been a string of destiny, the little one turning on the holoprojector just when she had - a speech emitting from Olanet of the behavior of the Confederacy, of the innocents murdered far in the distance. The despites of big factions did little to me, a wolf does not trouble himself with the affair of sheep but she… she was no sheep at all...
The broadcast from the Siskeen systems had mesmerized the wolf, the sight of the woman speaking on behalf of the Agents of Chaos had caught his attention. Samuel was eager to know her though he didn’t know anything about her, there had been something in her gleam, in her passion for her words. She was a leader, she was an alpha; Samuel had told himself in the sight of her. It had been twofold, the reactions - one had been to seek out these Agents of Chaos, and second, he revealed to his siblings he would look into their history. They were wolves, not humans. It was only them here, and they would not remain. They had come from afar world, their history books speaking of the Von Bergen line, of the Bergenfeld. He was Lord of Bergenfeld in his father's illness yet he had never seen Bergenfeld, he had never been near it. He would find it, he had vowed and he would bring their family glory. He mentioned nothing of the captivating woman, that would be his own personal mission to discover.

Descending into Madness: As it is common within the Lupine race, but unknown to the family at the current times, they’re highly prone to the madness which has among other factors cripples the race in whole throughout history.
