Most of his exsistance is based on blown up over emphasized stories and rumors about a wild man living in the woods who controls a pack of wild wolves...that is more or less true. He does live in the woods, but is not at all wild.
Tristan is like most average eighteen year old guys. Well not exactly. He is a decent enough guy if you find him in a good enough mood when he is not battling with his inner self. One half of him is calm and collected, protecting even the weakest life giving them one last chance and he will do his best to confront people who are causing harm to others not really caring about his own safety.
The other half causes him the most pain, under the moons light he is turned into something he never wants to be..a bloodthirsty creature that destroys everything in it's path Tristan tries in vain most nights to calm the beast. It never works and Tristan pays for it the next morning with new scratches and bruises. The process before a full moon is a long and grueling one Tristan become angry at the slightest thing, and become even more protective, thats why he stays in his room.
His sanity however is slowly slipping away from him with each turn of the moon. He has become more aggressive and irritable as well as staying away from other people to avoid hurting them. His room is full of deep scratches against the wall whenever he has lashed out in anger it looks more like a prison than a bedroom.
