As a GM of Chains of Retribution, not all of my character profiles will be made publicly available. In particular characters established (or to be established) as antagonists to the players may be kept private for GMing reasons. Some may be made public as these characters are encountered, or information is learned about them through the course of the roleplay, but for now the only characters that I'll be posting here are ones that will be played on the level of PCs within the werewolf packs.
 
Baron

Name: James Guiscard
Alias: Baron
Age: 82
Species: Werewolf
Family: Ragenard Guiscard (brother), Maxwell Lessard (son)

James is the fourth generation of Guiscard to serve as Pack Leader of the Bloodstone pack. He took up the name 'Baron' two years into his new position and has held the pack for eight years now.

Under his leadership, the Bloodstone pack has flourished in numbers and nearly doubled its territory in the past four years. Unlike many old school Lutetian packs, Baron is known for taking in 'mutts' - werewolves who contracted lycanthropy via bites - which has served to swell his numbers to a respectable size. Given that this practice is typically more common in smaller and younger packs looking to scrape a semblance of security through numbers, it has given the Bloodstones something of a ragtag reputation in recent years, but it hasn't shaken their hold over the streets of Vargeras.

Baron strives to maintain a balance of morality and freedom in the running of the Bloodstone pack, and though he - and those of his pack - are far from upstanding, law abiding citizens, the Bloodstone pack has been largely devoid of involvement into organized crime for the past eight years. This is a far shift from its history of gun and drug trafficking it maintained during the leadership of Baron's father. However this shift away from its former ventures has in recent times left the pack caught up in a conflict it was no longer prepared for as the pack learns that some feuds and old enemies are never truly left behind.

Baron boasts the rare ability of instant regeneration, capable of mending most wounds as quickly as they're dealt. This impressive healing ability has proven to extend to his bodies natural ability to repair itself even from the effects of aging. At 82 years of age, Baron still looks to be in the prime of his life. In stark contrast to his bodies ability to repair itself, Baron also suffers from a severe genetic flaw. Though a closely guarded secret for many years, Baron as his father before him, suffers an exceptionally rare but severe allergy to silver that is capable of disrupting his body's natural healing capabilities. With the recent discovery of Baron's life-threatening condition by rival packs and slow recovery after a near fatal ambush at the hands of Scions of Aodhan, one if left to question if his days as Pack Leader are numbered even as his brother Ragenard moves to temporarily take on the mantle of Pack Leader.

Bastien

Name: Dominique Bastien
Age: 25
Species: Werewolf
Family: Sophia Richard (daughter), Felix Bastien (brother)

Bastien grew up on the streets of Lutetia with his younger brother Felix, and the pair learned early that you either grew up mean, or you died young. The pair where headed down a one way road to a short and brutal life before Baron and the Bloodstone pack offered a new outlook on life.

Unfortunately where Bastien began the uphill climb to make something more out of his life, his brother Felix turned to organized crime and fell in with Scions of Aodhan - a rival pack with a long and violent history of conflict with the Bloodstone pack. Felix's betrayal of Baron and the Bloodstone pack marked the end of him and Bastien's relationship as brothers.

Bastien also has a six year old daughter, Sophia. Though he and Sophia's mother, Vanessa, have been separated for two years he remains very much a part of his daughter’s life. There's few things he wouldn't sacrifice for her safety.

While lacking in the instant regenerative capabilities of some of the fiercer pack members, Bastien boasts impressive healing capabilities capable of recovering from even grievous wounds within minutes. This paired with an innate tenacity for survival has raised him up through the ranks of the pack despite his rocky history.
 
Julienne
rv5NoqbIEOmeXrHKsSMay8ufKOaCRUQhje_GyarG7BMyjyW5U6iGjgsIIxCkKQps3_z0iJKfFNQ6iI2sa9pDiJAiahwV35DWQ37VSDJc-GBqFmX9NyTRBZHRAoD-em3BFmnKEJ7i
Name: Julienne Delatte
Age: 26
Species: Werewolf

Julienne is a long standing member of the Bloodstone pack, having been born into it. She has a spit-fire temper, and no tolerance for anything that she perceives as a threat to the pack, or her position within the pack.

She's also has served as legal guardian to her younger brother, Noel, since the death of their parents - both victims of the bloodier side of pack life.
With scarcely a responsible bone in her body when it came to Noel, the pair barely made ends meet and more often than not Noel was left to his own devices while Julienne shacked up with her newest fling of the month. In time Julienne only grew to resent Noel's dependence on her, and in return he grew to resent Julienne's neglect of him in favor of her next lay. Despite their personal issues though, they're all the blood family they have left and those bridges haven't yet been burned.

Unlike many of the higher status members of the Bloodstone pack, Julienne maintains a rather unremarkable lineup of supernatural ability. Incapable of healing wounds with the same efficiency as many of the pack, Julienne must rely upon wits and speed to avoid injury. And though quick and agile, she equally lacks much of the supernatural strength of her pack mates, but what she lacks in raw power she makes up for in sheer tenacity. Her viciousness in combat is well known among her pack mates. By the age of nineteen she had already made a name for herself in the pack, and it didn't take her long to climb the ranks until she maintained a prominent position through combat alone.
 
Jesse

Au8uSBgbdp8miiY8-fgj1M8pZN5mVIjgR_fktyDasUQ17UGjCQpCGBaqoIoUR_wsg06r24lFwMhGfqNFMs5BFY0BqBvo9jZKHuyF81sQsoDeJvR5w9Jve5R_a0aBHNbiHBFDcq-7
Name: Jesse Allard
Age: 26
Species: Werewolf

Jesse is one of the newest additions to the Bloodstone pack. At twenty-six years of age, he was fresh out of med school and starting his internship at Saint Lucien Hospital when he contracted lycanthropy from a gunshot patient who shifted in the middle of the hospital during treatment.

Over the next month Jesse lost his job, his girlfriend, his apartment, and landed on the streets with an accumulation of school loans hanging over his head. Three months later he found a home within the Bloodstone Pack. Though Jesse lacks much in the way of combat capability or competitive ambition within the pack, he has proven himself remarkably adaptive to the unexpected changes in his life. With a seemingly insurmountable level of enthusiasm, and a valuable skill-set of a formal medical education, he has quickly found a new home for himself among his pack mates. Though his lack of combat prowess and green nature to the life of crime are often the butt of many jokes, such jests are typically made in good fun as the pack has more than adopted Jesse as one of their own.

Jesse's well-to-do family remains woefully unaware of his condition, his firing, and the fact that in all of his work related stories shared at family dinners and gatherings, his patients are all werewolves now.
 
Draaven

b7y6Vzi2xW-kKooH7eEWIxRJ4b3bn9m35Lr6wolmb3YsIMCBx49WPqTPeLYU2kjLB7BGRkS0i5z2fmawy2QOyBKXQdlqNPv8ru7-aSUSSP0okXcD8BdjyK5e5GaiqTp8bJxdVkWD
Name: Draaven Degare
Age: 88
Species: Werewolf

Formerly old school Bloodstone, Draaven is freshly returned to the city of Lutetia after eight years of absence.

Draaven is no manner of green to the bloody lifestyle of Lutetian pack life, and he has spilled his share of blood in the name of his pack. But when the day came that father and son faced off, Draaven opted to depart Lutetia rather than be caught in the position of spilling the blood of his own brothers as an internal pack war seemed imminent.

Though he never renounced his affiliation to the Bloodstone pack, Draaven has spent a good many years oversees in Arteghia, an enlistee in the Terran military.

All things must come full circle though, and the time has come for Draaven to return to the place that he once called home.

Through Draaven primarily possesses the more common traits of his werewolf brethren - that of enhanced regeneration and physical strength - his years of enduring bloodshed as he fought his way through vicious pack wars have hardened him to the pain of loss, and his years in the military have only further conditioned his body and mind and turned Draaven into a force to be reckoned with.
 
Vanessa

8Ow-yC6lJX8UKGF1iQ9lF-Z6DAjC6IjMGOL_9Ban_0sbP7D0bVDMk2uIHiAsE-_xEIGitNi__ZgAvGKNjZCcFdFIhTbcfg8KLl8PYqmkuW1eI-ACV_N_wUYheY695eLja_udZmev
Name: Vanessa Richard
Age: 22
Species: Werewolf
Family: Sophia (daughter, age six)

Vanessa is a long standing member of the Bloodstone pack, having been born and raised in it. She had her daughter, Sophia, when she was only sixteen, but the pack proved ample supportive of Vanessa's decision to keep the child and Sophia was welcomed into the pack when she was born.

Vanessa maintained an off and on relationship with Sophia's father until she officially broke it off two years ago after he killed a man in front of their four year old daughter.

Vanessa has since sought to raise her daughter away from the more unsavory elements of pack life - namely Sophia's father. Vanessa is a pack wolf though, and despite the great lengths she has gone to keep her daughter separated from that aspect of her life, she herself continues to be drawn back in.

Though Vanessa is experienced in hand-to-hand combat and small firearms, her hidden strength lays in a rare ability among the pack. Vanessa is capable of shape-shifting on the fly, an invaluable skill when relying upon the element of surprise. While many werewolves will rely upon human forms of combat rather than risk the precious moments of vulnerability that shapeshifting brings upon them, Vanessa is capable of shifting so fluidly as to not even break stride or momentum in the process.

Sophia

Name: Sophia Richard
Age: 6
Species: Werewolf
Family: Vanessa (mother), Bastien (father)

Sophia is the youngest member of the Bloodstone pack, and as such the most vulnerable. Sophia struggles daily with the challenges imposed upon being born a werewolf in a city ripe with discrimination and intolerance. This, coupled with the ever present fear that her mother may simply not return home one day, has left Sophia with a growing sense of resentment and confusion over who and what she is. And as her mother, Vanessa, finds herself torn between pack life and protecting Sophia, Sophia is left to wonder just where she ranks in the eyes of her mother.

As child growing up in fear and surrounded by a life of violence, it is perhaps only a matter of time before the young girl's innocence is lost to the brutality of pack life as so many before her.
 
Desmond

1T3aXS_MSLFvf1ngFOrXvDhlCsNfGHy6NGmp1xm3tzwBp4drIRbsUyMuWbcUIif5fTfr_9LFp2oDaplk1o9YQyLvfUI6xe-FWKUk730uzYWnvnuI2ascQWonUgETXxGhNQGvoMFp
Name: Desmond O'Callaghan
Age: 29
Species: Werewolf
Place of Birth: Iveria
Nationality: Iverian
Family: Brendan O'Callaghan (brother)

Desmond is Iverian by birth, but during something of a cross continental escapade and a series of unlikely developments, he and his brother found their way into Baron's pack in Lutetia a few years ago.

Desmond was something of a stranger to urban pack life when he arrived in Lutetia; though, he's far from a stranger to an urban lifestyle. This hard-living Iverian werewolf strives to leave no rock unturned in his pursuit of the finer things in life. He's rarely found far from his quest of female companionship, late night drinking, good food, and loyal friends. Desmond's attention is apt to being captured by new things, but just as quickly he is prone to abandoning his fixations as new distractions cross his path. These fixations can range anywhere from women to drugs and alcohol, as well as personal projects and business ventures. However despite his somewhat childish demeanor when it comes to the responsibilities of adulthood, Desmond has earned himself a solid place among pack life with his patience and support of those struggling with their affliction.

Though Desmond sometimes struggles himself with the cut-throat nature of Lutetian pack life, he would without hesitation give his life for those whom he calls brother. It is perhaps this loyalty that has left him unexpectedly skirting a position of leadership that he never aspired for.

Pulled between his Iverian past, and his loyalty to his pack, Desmond is ever treading the line between keeping to his roots and adapting to the violence of Lutetia. A challenge that he has never once faltered against, nor failed to meet with good humor and compassion.
