Description
Name: Victor Talbot

Species: Werewolf

Nationality: French

Occupation: Leader of the Werewolf Species

Bio: Victor Talbot was born in Ajaccio France in 1756, and even long before becoming the first werewolf, Victor had an unusual fascination with the supernatural. From a young age he heard stories of ghosts and goblins and fairy creatures that stalked the woods. Tales and stories that spoke of fantastical powers and wise old wizards. Eventually however this fascination was all but killed as he participated in both the French Revolution and the French Revolutionary Wars, two events which would change Victor immensely as he was plagued with guilt and nightmares. Over time, a sense of wanderlust would result within Victor as he chose to leave the very lands his haunted memories were attached to. Victor would travel across Europe and Eurasia, getting by through whatever means available to him, whether it be hunting his own food, or stealing. Though while his trips did sooth his soul, and numb the horrors of War, Victor would fall introspective as he traveled through Romania, where the ghosts of his old passion for the mystical was slowly reborn.

Roaming forests and woods, Victor would have many near encounters with various things that could only be supernatural, though always so minor that they never satisfied his slowly ignited belief that the world was far more magical than he has believed. These encounters would further change Victor however, and his wanderlust was replaced with a deep sense of superstition towards the unknown once more. As it developed he would often contemplate on what the fate of those he both fought with and against. Wondering if there was life after death. He had seen far too many things to be skeptical, from fluttering glowing lights in the forest to shadows that never seemed to move quite right. This fascination with ghosts and spirits would be further enhanced as Victor began to listen to tales and stories from anyone willing to share of those things that could only exist in myth, but his fascination became curiosity, and he would begin to actively seek out the unknown. Eventually however, one story proved far from myth and legend, and unlike so many before that ended in nothing, Victor would find himself thrusted into a world he always suspected, but never truly knew existed.

Chasing after old tales of a supposed immortal King, Victor would happen across the old workshop of one Vlad Țepeș now Known as Dracula, the First Vampire and a renowned Alchemist. Notes and formula were hand written into dozens of books, as Victor poured through the fruit's of Dracula's research. Unlike Dracula however, Victor was no mage, but with access to Vlad's mana enriched ingredients, notes, and knowledge of the existence of the Elixir of Life, he began to think.

Victor had searched for the supernatural, and it had found him. Reading through various journals and papers, Victor wondered if he was meant to find this place, and as if on a whim, and armed with the knowledge that it was possible, Victor sought to recreate the Elixir.

Unknown that the Elixir was defective and resulted in Dracula's own Vampirism. With the notes, however Victor would eventually create a new variant of the Elixir through trial and error. Sometimes applying what he learned to change around what Dracula had created, until one such ingredient, the blood of a wolf, was added, and as soon as a drop of blood hit the elixir, the liquid within turned a radiant silver color, so bright it could be seen even in pitch dark. A mystical formula that glowed woth the light of a full moon.

Victor held the elixir to his face, before taking the first sip, and upon drinking it, he indeed became immortal, and became the first Werewolf. Victor has acclimated well to his changes, roaming the world as he always did, but no longer alone as his nomadic pack follows their progenitor as he continues his journey. Sticking to the forests and woods, Victor's immortal life was filled with new dangers as he became aware of a world where monsters, ghosts, goblins, and fairies were quite real.

Powers, Skills, and Abilities

Lycanthropy - Like all Werewolves, Victor Talbot is capable of drastic levels of transformation into a wolf, unlike most werewolves however, Victor Talbot has abilities no other werewolf possesses. Most Werewolves are capable of assuming a half human half wolf form, with occasional outliers capable of forming claws and fangs without fully transforming. Victor however can assume a wide variety of forms along a spectrum from fully human to fully wolf. Each form has advantage over the others, whether it be strength, agility, or speed. Unlike subsequent Werewolves, Victor's hybrid form possesses bony protrusions resembling antlers.

Superhuman Strength - The raw physical strength of all Werewolves is beyond compare. Even as a human, the average werewolf is stronger than most Olympic athletes. At will however, they can activate their adrenal glands, doing so pushes their strength to ludicrous levels. Victor Talbot however is even stronger than that. He has taken down other werewolves without transforming himself, and has physically overpowered dragons in his Hybrid forms. In human form, he has pulled bolted down lamp posts from solid concrete to use as weapons, he has tossed semi trucks with ease, and in a particularly impressive display he pulled a helicopter to the ground. In his Hybrid form however, concrete measurements have been much more difficult to calculate. He's torn tanks and artillery vehicles to literal shreds, used multiple cars in a freight train as improvised weapons to take out a particularly nasty Fae, and in a particularly memorable event, used a dragon as an improvised flail to successfully incapacitate the Retriever Golem.

Speed - In his Wolf Form, Victor Talbot us capable of running up to 72 KPH, roughly the speeds a Greyhound is capable of.

Superhuman Senses - All werewolves possess a heightened scene of smell, Victor However possesses olfactory receptors that has more in common with Bloodhounds than any wolf species.

Infectious Bite - Any Human bitten by Victor themselves becomes a Werewolf. This affliction however can be fatal and the chances of survival is frighteningly low.

Immortality - Werewolves do not age after a certain point. While they can be killed, they possess phenomenal regenerative powers and a wide range of immunity to various pathogens and toxins.
