The young wolf hybrid prince is named Kier.

Strengths:

Resourceful – Raised in a cruel kingdom, Kier has learned how to survive, think fast, and adapt in hostile situations.

Protective – His fierce loyalty to his younger brother, Bruno, and to Natalia, the slave girl he escapes with, drives many of his choices.

Physically gifted – As a wolf hybrid, Kier has heightened senses, strength, and agility, making him a formidable fighter.

Hidden compassion – Despite his upbringing, Kier has a quiet but powerful capacity for empathy, especially toward those who are powerless.

Curious – He’s drawn to magic, ideas, and truths that were kept from him in Vardorn, and he’s not afraid to question what he was taught.

Weaknesses:

Internal conflict – He struggles with the savage instincts instilled in him and fears becoming like his father.

Emotionally guarded – Years of pain and punishment have made it hard for him to trust or express vulnerability.

Guilt-ridden – He carries shame over things he’s done or allowed under Vardorn’s rule, even if he had little choice.

Reactive – Kier can be impulsive when those he cares about are threatened, sometimes putting himself or others in danger.

Haunted by identity – Being the son of a tyrant and part of a feared hybrid race makes Kier question whether he can ever truly belong anywhere.
