Gregory blinked at the light and saw Richard and screamed more. Something died on Richard's face when he did it, like it had killed something inside him to have anyone be that terrified of him.
-Narcissus in Chains

Richard is an alpha werewolf and ulfric (wolf king) of the Thronos Rokke Clan
(the same clan that Jason belongs to)

Description:
Richard is over 6 feet tall and well-muscled. He has shoulder length brown hair with
copper highlights, brown eyes, and his face is described as being very strong and
handsome with square jaws and soft lips. He also has a dimple in his chin.
Richard has a degree in preternatural biology and teaches science at
Seckman Junior High School.

Personality:
Anita considers him the ultimate boy scout: he loves the outdoors and being active,
is honest and has very high morals. Despite his "boy scout" nature, Richard has a darker side.
Both he and "his beast" are excited and aroused by violence and pain. Although Anita has
encouraged him to accept his nature, Richard is deeply threated by this aspect of himself,
and blames "his beast" for those urges.
Richard is an extremely powerful werewolf. His "beast" is extraordinarily strong, and he
can often control other shapeshifters' changing by his raw power. He also has the very
rare ability to "feed the pack" - sharing some of his magical power by feeding his own
blood to pack members. However, his inner turmoil frequently prevents him from making
effective use of his powers.
