Artimus GreyFur

Artimus Greyfur - Demon Wolflord

The moniker Demon is really a misnomer that he had picked up somewhere in his travels. Born of nature raised in the woods. Around the time he was 10 Artimus found a wolf cub caught in a snare left for some beavers. Freeing the pup he took it home and raised it as his pet and companion. During Artimus's training as a Druid, the pup Rickett went everywhere with him. As the years passed Artimus grew in power and respect amongst his piers, gathering more wolves in his pack, all the while Rickett never lost his place at his Master side, until it was his time to leave this plane. Vowing never to forget his longtime friend and ally. Artimus made a cloak from Rickett's pelt and proudly wore the dappled fur in all his travels.

Over time Artimus had learned that he had a certain power over the wolves around him, that they would bend to his will and almost eagerly follow his commands. Also learning where they where around him without looking, knowing that as long as a wolf was near him he would always have an ally. Many of the people he met where scared of this strange man wearing a wolf pelt cloak, and surrounded by the large beasts. Often this fear lead to anger and he was driven from villages and towns on numerous occasions.
