Description

Hishu

A stocky Caucasian man in his late 50s with shaggy unkempt brown hair, mustache, bloodshot brown eyes, and pale skin. He wears a blue collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up, heavy work pants and boots, and a plain wedding ring. He generally smells of alcohol and is in need of a shave and a bath. He has a rough voice, as if from too much smoking, and a puncture scar on his left temple (from a bullet).

Urhan

A sickly brindle wolf with rheumy eyes.

Storytelling Hints

Rick is a drunk and a coward who ceased to give a damn when his family was slaughtered. He loves his son, though, and Kevin is one of the few things in life that can motivate him. There is the core of a dedicated man in him, though, and his son has a chance at turning him around.

Background

Rick was raised to be a vampire hunter since he was a boy. He idolized his father, uncle, and later, his older brother. He prayed to God that he would Change so that he'd be strong enough to join them in the fight rather than be relegated to the support roles the wolf-blooded family filled, even though he knew they were vital. When he did Change, and as a warrior, he thanked God. His joy was short-lived. The first mission he came along with this new pack, they were ambushed by Cesare Vincenzio, Jerome Bousquet, and Walter Turnbull. His father, uncle, and older brother were killed and he barely survived being shot in the head with a silver bullet. For years, he burned with revenge until the futility of it eventually got the better of him and he disappeared into the bottle. He still spends long nights plotting missions that he'll never pursue and dreaming of revenge.
