Appearance
Nefarious for his unearthly appearance, and deranged sense of logic, Alaric is a fiend of the streets. With his towering height, he can be rather intimidating, even the air escaping from his lips holding a distinct uncanniness. Yet, despite this, he manages to hold a rather respectable demeanor that may, or may not be jeopardized by his dark, latex bodysuit.
For the sake of maintaining his outward appearance, the bodysuit is masked with the lackluster facade of an equally dark and stained robe, which he found and took a liking to in one of the alleyways. Aside from this suit and robe, his selection of attires is slim, as he respectfully has no associations with those who dwell in the day, and therefore feels no need to adopt their sociall norms.

Personality
Alaric has always been quite the odd type. From his upbringing to his entry into the nightlife, he’s never really been seen engaged with others much. But before the incident of which he later would come to mentally break, he was never actively refusing others’ friendship or compassion. It is more in later days where the last shard of his sanity puts up a final sense of protection by distancing itself from others.
During the day Alaric is now a strange entity seen lifelessly sitting or wandering through the shadows of the city. The chaos around him keeping him detached from reality in a constant loop of pain. This leads him to seem like a delusional, mumbling wolf limping endlessly. Seeking some sort of end. So severe is his delusion that the fear of light itself has left him forever detached from the world of the day. And it is, indeed, this detachment that leaves him an easy target during the day.
But with the natural suppressor of the Sun never present during the night, and the roaring of electricity finally lashing out against his over-active brain, night is the time when the Storm emerges and the Wolf reigns. Even still, the distant personality of Alaric is dominant, only ever being surpassed by wicked glee and a totalitarian sense of right and wrong.

Before the “Nightdown”
Whilst Alaric was never much of a typical Hedenbaumer to begin with, he was still brought up by a middle-class family in the suburban C district, and going to school in the district adjacent. There wasn’t very much special to his upbringing. He enjoyed the life of a school kid, and whilst distant, had managed to get a fair few friends during his ride through middle school.
Everything took it’s turn, however, when the life of a highschooler took it’s place in his world. Both his parents, but also his brother, feared greatly for what sort of person he’d become. But this would simply be your typical parental paranoia, nothing of serious note, he’d thought. But because his friends, and himself, were not the best adapted to the school system they fully represented the fear his family had for him in full light. This caused his family to abandone him, in fear of intervention by the authorities.
Without anyone to hold the back, or anyone to care for them, he, and his friends, would become recognized trouble-doers. Falling well below the lines of respectable behaviour in their journey through the years. But it all took a turn for the worse when they dared cross the border of time and dwell in the world of the night. They had disturbed the brutal wrath of the kinsmen of the night through their inexcusable mistreatment of one of the gangs’ territory. And would come to face the dire consequences.

After the “Nightdown”
With little availability on the actual history of Alaric at one’s fingertips, the events that occured after his introduction into the world of night is rather shady, and very uncertain. Very few know with whom Alaric has been in contact, or who he sometimes flees to. But in the electrically charged mind of Alaric everything is clear, too clear. He remembers it well; his friends dying, and him strapped on a chair at the top of the television tower.
He remembers the cruel impacts, one after one, as each blast struck through him and into him. He could feel the excruciating pain of the lightning as it flowed through his body. Ironic, one might think, that this man’s greatest pain would come from a twelve hour storm. But unlike any other person, should they be in his seat, he was not dead. On that stormy night a power within him had awakened, the storm had been united within his body. From that day onwards he had become The Storm.
And much like a storm, he quickly lashed out at the world. Emotionally unstable and mentally broken thanks to the pain, it is anyone’s guess what he’s done after that stormy night, or even how he had gotten down from the TV tower. In truth, Alaric is nothing if not a walking mist of mystery, a highly wanted mist. By the passing of time, Alaric had managed to claim the title of Wolf of the Night, and whilst the accomplishment is great, and his name is known throughout the city, he has an unlimited supply of enemies available, the Kings especially.
