Profile of Colburn

He is the dirty faced child with scraped knees and mussed up hair. Wild, tangles of ebony black fur almost always encrusted with dirt and grime. Uniquely black eyes , black tongue and gums beneath ebony lips.

Nights spent with an empty belly, alone and unwanted. Colburn grew up reclusive and mistrustful of everyone. He learned that he could only rely on himself for survival by taking from others what he needed. Wild and rambunctious he never grew out of the puppyish impishness and impulsivity. It along with his uncouth ways and rudeness often gets him into trouble, but he never learns his lesson. It doesn't occur to him that it's his own fault that trouble follows him like a shadow.

One of five pups born to two very superstitious parents in the midst of a war torn country. His dark colouring among his brightly coloured siblings was not a concern at first. It wasn't until he opened his eyes that his parents saw him as something other. Something that was not a wolf, but a changeling sent by the fairies. Fearing for their true children they abandoned him in the Redwood hoping nature would take its course. He survived by running errands for the thieves guild, begging for scraps and stealing from others. Years have passed since his birth. How many the changeling child does not remember, but he remains a puppy faced yearling frozen in time.
