Allen is a Vertigan, a deviation of the human race that evolved and adapted to meet the harsh predators. Like many Vertigans, he is aggressive, strong, fast, trained in combat, despite being only 11 years old. However, for the Vertigans, that means he is legally an adult, as all Vertigans go through a coming of age ritual when they reach the age of nine to enter adulthood.
Allen prefers to use his Daggers/Throwing Knives, and a Staffblade. He prefers up close combat, and has been trained by the best, being the son of the Clan Leader. Allen received his nickname, Fang, as during his Rite of Passage he used a Fang from one of the creatures he killed to kill three others that were attacking him at once.
Allen is a bit more rebellious then most Vertigan, and has a tendency to find himself in trouble even when he tries to avoid it. He is adventurous, free spirited, and very well suited in combat. And as Vertigan, this makes him a force to be reckoned with, even for seasoned soldiers of other races.
His mother died when he was very young, and he has a brother a year younger then him.
