Tall, dark, muscled, and earthen tone — a true blessing from Avar. Arundel is of deep umber, russet, and dull tan. Born of soil, autumn, and sand: he is a son of earth. A son of Avar, to be favored, to be praised, to work and prove. His eyes shine brightly from his darkly-masked face, a fiery sheen that challenges the autumn leaves. Arun can cut an imposing presence, or can play a handsome stranger, depending on what you seek to find in a glance. Well groomed and composed, the man is often never caught looking disheveled.

Personality
![[Image: johann12.jpg]](https://i65.servimg.com/u/f65/18/39/09/26/johann12.jpg)
Gentlemanly • Social • Persuasive • Two faced • Surface deep • Devoted • Flirtatious • Cold • Clever • Violent • Apathetic
Arundel is a devoted follower of Avar, for years he has been trained to display himself positively in the eyes of starters — doing his best to convince wolves to join him, be them worthy to-be followers or sufficient sacrifices. Arun uses masculine charms to woo naive or lonely women, and trick them into trusting him. Aside from his devotion to Avar, he is quite self serving and apathetic. Ignoring the obvious wants and needs of others, as long as he is capable of offering the solstice sacrifice. He can be cold and sharp — losing his facade — with those familiar to him, or to strangers that push him over the line.
Arun can be seen as ruthless and unforgiving, even going as far as to sacrifice his one and only child for having the wrong coat color. While often well composed and slow to anger, he may hyper fixate on others or certain things, should these things be taken or not go his way, he is known to become aggressively violent.
A man you would prefer to have on your side, rather than against it.

History
![[Image: johann13.jpg]](https://i65.servimg.com/u/f65/18/39/09/26/johann13.jpg)
warning: Mention of pup death and murderBorn on the sacrificial day of the winter solstice, Arundel was a blessing from Avar to his parents. Large, healthy, and shades of brown and auburn adorned his coat. He was favored. He grew with the beliefs and followings of Avar. As he began his travels for recruits and/or sacrifices - he found a mate at the age of two. A few days before his third birthday, during their separation from his branch of the pack, his first and only child was born.
An ugly, small, weak, white thing came from his mate. A disgrace. A sickening sight. It was clear that his “son” was not favored, nor was the woman that birthed the beast. Arundel sacrificed his mate and child on winter’s first day. Then picked up his travels once again, searching for Ozella and the group. Another day in the life he has grown accustomed to.

Birth Name: Arbor
Oath Name: Arundel
True Name: 
Arundel is a follower of Avar, born and raised within the Avarshina Sublinia.
Avar Is:
- Genderless
- Creator of the earth and all things
- Grants protection and longevity to those who serve
- All things good or bad can be summed up as Avar’s wishes either through blessings (good things) or blights (bad things)
- Favors wolves who do not back down from a challenge
- Bloodthirsty, though this is often tucked away
- Unforgiving and merciless
- Described as a wolf of solid gold with eyes of fire, larger than a mountain, with a voice like a landslide and tears that flood the lands
-Favorswolves of earthen tones such as brown, olive, auburn, tan, blue, auburn and gray.
- Not PreferredWolves of charcoal, yellow, and silver.
- Hated, disliked, and often culled Wolves with White, Black, and agouti
Practices of Avar
- Wolves who die early in life were either highly sought (did well in the eyes of Avar) or blighted to the nether (did poorly in the eyes of Avar)
- Bones are a sacred symbol of Avar and should be kept as a prized collection and may be traded amongst members for favors/used as a currency
- At the spring equinox and winter soulstice each year, a wolf must be sacrificed. Usually these are outsiders so as not to risk valuable members to the pack. They must be expendable wolves.
- Novitiate wolves are convinced that giving themselves to Avar in this sacrifice is the single most important thing they could ever do and that their death will deliver them to glory
- If no novitiates are found outside of the pack then the next most-useless wolf (sorry) is put up for sacrifice, chosen by the lead wolf
- Useful wolves (in the leader’s eyes) will never be put up for sacrifice as they are needed to keep the pack going
- In war or a dangerous situation, disposable wolves are sent as much as possible. If lost, they will be said to have died an honorable death. Wolves who refuse this burden are shunned.
- Shuns last a minimum of a week, and a maximum of forever (or until they prove themselves again)
- Wolves have three names. Their birth name, their oath name (the primary name), and their true name (chosen by themselves and rarely shared)
- Free will is encouraged, but wolves are pushed to do what is “right” in Avar’s eyes rather than what is ethical. This can mean setting aside their personal beliefs and choose what the leader says Avar would want
- Wolves as a whole are taught about pleasing Avar, but no one is forced to and there may be outliers who disbelieve or only follow for their own reasons
- To be initiated into the pack a wolf must take the oath and the mark (a crisscross bite on the right flank), or be sent away as unworthy. The oath is as follows: “Let me aspire to be perfect as Avar, so that Avar's light bring me glory”
- May kidnap wolves or puppies to bend to their needs
- Members are taught that eating their dead is acceptable as Avar has blessed them with meat, and no meat should be wasted (they are not forced to partake in this)
- Wolves who mess up are sent away; wolves who mess up badly might be killed.
