[Monkey Monk]

~Rank~ Gran Sakou

~Appearance This creature's northern heritage is extremely prominent in his appearance. Even though he is a simple wolf, Icewolf poses a figure that is impressive for such a breed of canine. Even though he is aging, the male still has the body of an expert warrior. The Defender Mark (a golden mark shaped like a serpent around a dagger) sits proudly upon his right foreleg. His pelt, thick and silky, is colored a brilliant, pure white. The slightest tint of blue accentuates the brilliance of the light color. Bright blue eyes look at everything with the knowing gaze of a seasoned veteran. A pair of angelic wings, colored similar to his fur, are usually folded tightly against his sides unless of course he needs them for flight.

~Known Magic~ Touch of the North - A simple, and manageable ability. Working best in the winter, the magic freezes water molecules in the air and on nearby objects and brings them together for an action of the user's choosing. The larger the force or ammount of conjured ice drains the user and particularly difficult feats have a similar effect.

~Personality~ A long time ago this wolf used to be a feared commander. He led the killing group once called the 'Elite'. Now the Elite have not only changed but are disbanded, leaving this once harsh soul now a benevolant and kind creature. He loves his family and the lands in which they live. The aging male is prone to occasional memory flashbacks.

~Weaknesses~ His care for his loved ones leaves this creature with a weak spot. He has no love of his life if it means that someone he loves can escape harm.

~Strengths~ With the fierce loyalty and tenacity of his nature, this warrior never has to go into battle alone. When there is someone for him to work with, he finds a way for the two of them to sync and perform much better in combat.

~Kin~ Antartica (Mate); Gelu (Son); Zefirino (Son); Aelariah (Daughter)

~Abridged History~ Born and raised to the north, Icewolf learned at a young age the necessities to survival. He became part of a group of killers who worked for a war monger who used to rule in the area. This group was called the 'Elite' and those of its ranks were very feared. After loosing his first family, Icewolf led the Elite to the lands of Shinkou. There they changed their title to Defender and swore to help protect the lands. However, now half of the Defenders are dead. Icewolf and another settled down and had families while the other two surviving 'Elite' have choosen much different paths. Icewolf mated to the femme Antartica, and together they had a litter of two boys, Gelu and Zeferino, and one girl, Aelariah. Since then Icewolf has lived in peace, even though Gelu disappeared at a young age. When Gelu did return, he began to teach his son as he had been doing to his other children, passing on his knowledge.
