Description
One of the lead characters of my graphic novel project, "Durandal Saga."

One of the most mysterious species of the known world is that of the Wolfen-Kind. This humanoid race carries characteristics of both wolf-demon and elf, with the brute strength and fur of the former and the tallness and beauty of the latter. One of the most notable inherent ability of this species is to transform at will into what is known as a "Berserker" form. This form features more fur, altered facial features as well as near unrivaled strength. At present the species' population is very small and they reside in small hamlets throughout the continent of Durandal, although legends say that their origin lies within the far off lands of legend.

A background of Ein -

As the story begins it is unclear of where Ein was born and raised. At a young age he joined the Vellusian Assassins Guild and few years later he bacame rivals with Rhalymnir. After failed mission in which let Ein was mortally wounded, Rhalymnir carried him to a nearby Wolfen hamlet and he was slowly treated. However due to the medical practices of the time Ein's left side was shaved and a tattoo/sutra was imbedded into his shoulder. This sutra would keep the fur from disrupting the wound. Consequently the tattoo kept Ein from tranforming into a berserker, which among the Wolfen-kind made him a burden of society and an outcast. With his past behind him continues working as an assassin to proove his worth, and when the time comes he joins the newly befriended Rhalymnir on a journey that could change the worl as we know it...

A background on his weapon -

After an incident that left him fatally wounded, Ein choose to evolve his fighting prowess into a more defensive style. The Trictoch is only edged on the head, leaving the shaft and underarm of the blade thick. The sharpness of the blade itself is only of axe quality and gives a more of a bludgeoning impact rather than of slicing. The advantage this weapon gives for Ein is that it gives him all the defensive properties he needs. The shape is basically an evolution of the Sai, allowing the user to disarm the enemy in every sense of the term. Try to stab of a swing a weapon at him and with a flick of the handle he can wrench it out of your grasp of break it in two with ease. Throw a punch or any sort of limb at him and the bone will be broken in two or more places. Sometimes the arm will be ripped right from the socket. Defensive, but oh so deliciously violent

A background on the character design -

Ein is actually one of my oldest character designs, dating back to 1999. In this incarnation I added some form of clothing and armour. Prior versions can be found in these links:
