In an attempt to escape Rokan and his armies Taren leaves on a boat only to wash up on the shores of Alteria
Taren is loyal, and serious. Not always, but when he has to be he is. He will do anything for his friends and fights for what he believes in-which at the moment he boarded the ship, was survival. He does what he can to get by, but can sometimes lose his temper due to his abilities. He does his best to control his emotions, and believes that love is a powerful emotion that can help him with his abilities. Although he is able to control his transformation, his people are prone to short tempers and will more often than not, shift out of anger and can't control themselves in their beast-like state. This makes Taren's life difficult sometimes, but he does his best to protect those he loves and cares for through self-control.
Taren doesn't own much, only a few articles of clothing and a couple personal weapons. He carries with him a sword, dagger, and a bow with arrows. On the ship, he brought with him what supplies he was able to bring so that he could start a new life elsewhere, but he finds it hard to believe he'll need any of it once the ship crashed.
Taren Blackpaw is a Cainen. Cainen are lycanthropes, werewolves, whatever you wish to call them, yet they are able to control their transformations and can shift at will. His people are often-times short tempered, and because of that, many of his people have also been killed by Rokan's army because they blew their cover. Cainen is being hunted for what he is, and he wishes to escape Rokan's army and start a new life where he will be free from persecution. He is the last of his clan, his father and brother died as they made their way to the ship. His mother and sister weren't even able to make it out of the house. His past is full of bloodshed, due to the rivalries of families, or clans, and he prefers not to think about the things his people have done to each other even in the face of a greater threat. After escaping the hunters, he wishes to flee to new lands and start his life anew.
