The Fangwolf

When Alan Stavries helped Sorath escape from Lord Dominus’s captivity, he stayed behind to fight off the Novus Ordo soldiers that tried to shoot down Sorath’s craft. Eventually, Dominus himself approached the landing pad, and confronted Stavries. He was angry with the soldier at first, but then he realized what he could do to the man. Instead of killing him, he cursed him with the Fangsbane Hex, which turned the man into the Fangwolf every full moon. He was banished from Apollya, and sought refuge in the forests of Eltora. There, he discovered that there were others like him, those who had also been cursed with the Fangsbane Hex as other creatures, the Fangcat, the Fangbear, and the Fangbat. They lived together in a cave in the Eltoran forest and avoided going out on nights with a full moon.

Alan was unaware that the moon was what caused his transformation. He found his way back to Skymar, only for the moon to cause him to transform in the city of Silverhill. The authorities were sent after him, and he was forced to fight them off whilst trying to survive.

This caused a stir among public opinion regarding magical creatures, and the Fangwolf was branded a public menace.

Joe would assist his father in avoiding SCAR’s capture. However, Alan reveals that if he does not pass on the Fangsbane to someone else, he will stay that way forever. Joe volunteers to be the next Fangwolf. Alan refuses, but he eventually agrees and passes it to Joseph. The Fangsbane regrows his left arm, and he becomes a more benevolent and controlled Fangwolf, albeit still very deadly to his enemies.
