Hello, my readers. I started doing this thing at random on one of the other sites that I post to where I highlight a character in the world of my novel "In the Enemy's Territory" (which if you don't know it is about alien werewolves). I've already got a few of these spotlights written, but you guys are welcome to ask about other characters, even minor ones you may be curious about, and I'll get to them... sporadically.
Don't worry, I'm still working on the last 2 chapters. I stalled out with another story, one you will all be seeing soon... in the Halloween contest! It'll be fun, but you might be hungry at the end....
To kick off the character spotlights, I started with Khade'grr Landon! Because, c'mon, guy's the most bad ass MFer on the planet. He might as well be a god among wolves.
Age: 57
Height: 5'6"
Rank: Supreme Alpha
Color: Mostly white with several shades of grey and silver along his back and tail. Black hair, though has begun to grey with age. Black eyes.
Khade'grr Landon is the embodiment of the phrase "you can't be peaceful if you aren't dangerous, otherwise you're just harmless." Born to a pack that viewed their females as livestock and pups as disposable, he grew up watching his mother, aunts, sisters and cousins beaten and starved into submission and bred to make numbers for the pack in territorial disputes. A male had to prove he was as brutal as the rest to be accepted as an equal, fighting and eventually raping their way up the social ladder. And Khade'grr did it, with a bad taste in his mouth, until he had gone far enough up the chain with enough support that he overthrew all of the high ranks in a bloody battle and was made Alpha of the powerful Landon pack. Perched upon a ridge overlooking a calm bay connected to a major inland river, Khade'grr began to forge alliances and pay tribute to regain the pack's status and was soon a bustling haven for those who needed protection. His city of Port Landon has become a sprawling masterpiece of modern Aroogar engineering with well over a million wolves in one place and is the largest Aroogar city. With many dozens of packs voluntarily pledging their support to him, he is considered to be the most powerful Aroogar to ever have lived, and the closest to a sovereign ruler that the species is willing to accept. Even packs who are not directly aligned with him are willing to accept his rule to a point. As such an influential figure, some packs who have become too closely related have been known to send their women to him for making healthy puppies. While this is a perk he's fine with, he always questions them beforehand, and it's well known that any pack who forces their women into this action not only lose the woman they sent, but will likely end up with a very angry group of enforcers at their gates to ensure they're behaving themselves. A true force to be reckoned with, Khade'grr's legacy ensures his name will be known centuries after his death, even on a planet with no formal or institutional schooling.
