Age: 22
Gender: Male
Species: Werewolf
Place of Birth: Lutetia
Background: Born into an upper-class family of followers of the church, Hugo lived his life among the elite of Lutetia and as raised as a 'proper' member of society. However, Hugo never liked the pompous, arrogant nature of his peers at the church, especially when it came to the supernatural. He believed that anything living and breathing deserved a chance at life, an attitude that earned him scorn amongst the priests and even his own family.. While he knew there were those among the supernatural who were undoubtedly sadistic and cruel, he knew there were those who just wanted to live a peaceful, normal life. His dream was to one day convince members of the church that their ideas were antiquated and foolish. Unfortunately those plans were dashed. One day on his way home from university, he was suddenly attacked by a feral werewolf, too far gone to be helped. Knowing he stood no chance against the wolf, he ran in vain. The werewolf effortlessly grabbed him, biting him on his shoulder. If it weren't for another werewolf attacking the one that bit him, he would have been torn apart. As they fought, Hugo ran away, covering his wound and whispering curses to himself. He threw on his coat to hide the injury as he bought first aid supplies. After wrapping the wound, he went home, neglecting to mention anything to his family.
He eventually forgot about the incident and went about his business. However, as the weeks went by he started to feel strange. Fevers set in, as did muscle pains. After the third week, his family was horrified to find him in the middle of his first transformation into a werewolf. The extreme pain from the ordeal almost killed him, but he miraculously retained his sanity. His parents feigned worry and said comforting words, though they were far from sincere. Within the next week, an assassin tried to murder Hugo in his sleep, but his superior senses and reflexes caught the assassin off guard and was easily taken down by Hugo. Hearing the commotion, his parents rushed up, his father carrying a revolver loaded with silver bullets, cursing the assassin for his failure. Horrified that his parents would take illegal measures to have him silenced, Hugo leaped from the window, his new-found athleticism making maneuvering the rooftops relatively simple.
Eventually, Hugo was discovered by the Bloodstone pack, who offered him shelter. He reluctantly agreed but refused to associate himself with anything they did, keeping to himself most of the time. This time alone has almost driven him insane due to the intense feeling of loneliness. He needed to belong to the pack. He needed a family again, but he didn't want to be considered family by them. His goal was to change the way the church viewed supernatural beings, but he finally realized that no matter what he did, that would now be more impossible than ever with his affliction. He wanted to belong, but he wanted to be cured at the same time so he can be accepted by his family again. Even so, he worried if he's becoming like that xenophobic clergy with how he's been behaving towards the ones that have offered him shelter and arguably saved his life. Hugo promised himself that he would eventually do something for them. It was the least he could do to prove his appreciation.

Appearance: A tall young man standing at 6'4", Hugo has styled, medium-length hair and striking, light blue eyes that seem to glow slightly. He hides his eyes through wearing round-framed, dark-lens glasses. His frame is best described as lanky, with long arms and legs along with his fit musculature. Hugo has a slight stubble on his face, which he tends to keep short. His expression is usually anywhere between a concerned look or a gentle smile, though the latter is usually only seen by those he's taken a liking to. Due to his upbringing, his clothing consists of a white collared undershirt and ornate purple coat along with a loose yellow tie. His only footwear is a pair of long leather work boots, which seems to clash with his overall noble appearance.
