Binding

Not all that much is known about the strange creature that was found, wandering a well traveled road in the middle of the night. Found by a band of mercenaries, familiar with his kind, the wolf didn't have much of a chance. It's not like his kind to travel alone in this way as it is. The wolf won't say much of who he is or where he came from. His golden eyes suggest that he is one of Death's Nemateelu...

His refusal to give a name, earned a new name for the ropes that bound him. Binding...

His birth given name comes from the new moon phase he was born under. Moon was born understanding his place in the world. By his pack standards he was born to die. At some point in his strange life, he took on a different mindset... He chose to live.

A small brand on his thigh that has been blurred by time and marring of the flesh suggests that at one point he was a slave. Likely after leaving his pack.

During the training process, it even seems that some of the postures and stances he is familiar with.

Life as a slave was enough to sway the wolf away from any hope that there was redemption or mercy for a wolf who left his duty behind. He was sold to another wolf. He was beaten and whipped into submission, though no real authority was held in the high born wolf who had forgotten his true, feral roots. There was no intent to break Moon. The intent was to hit something. It was when talk of how resilient he was and wanting another of his kind came up... The possibility of breeding that the wolf became determined. He would not see a child of his in the position he was in.

When the chance came, he jumped on it. It was ignorance that was the end of his Master... The man turned his back on Moon, while a the cutlery from a meal Moon was forced to share with the man, still sat in reach. Moon assumes the man is dead. Moon left him behind with a knife, firmly buried into the man's eye socket.

Unfortunately for Moon, he was still in a part of the world that he was in no way familiar with. He did not know where his pack was. If they would even take him back. He did not know where others of his kind were. There was nowhere to hunt and far to many people. He was quickly captured again, picked up after being caught stealing food from a local market.

However, for him penalties were wavered as slavers spotted the rare gem he was, recognized his race and purchased the wayward wolf. They also had, more of an intent to break the young wolf's spirit. He was shoved into a wooden crate, all of the light taken way, the wolf not permitted anything but the bare essentials of life for weeks. He became completely disorientated to how much time he had been in there or even where he was... The wolf still can not stand to be in a closed in space for long...

Again in chains, the wolf was sent this time to The Golden Tether. The wolf refused to give a name, fearing the name Moon would be recognized as a slave who had killed his Master. This, he knew would be a dead slave. The guards named him Binding... Trying to humiliate the wolf into giving a real name. When it did not work, the name stuck. The wolf quickly found he was on an island and escape this time would be, near impossible. Unlike his previous Master... A slave market, actually knew what they were doing. Still, the wolf was confident.

He had escaped once. He could escape again. It was that mentality that got him into trouble, mouthing off one night at the wrong man. His Master, Karn, had enough of the wolf's mouth that night and he found himself an owned slave once more.

Notes of Interest He would never admit to it, but he actually likes having a strong Master. It makes him feel safe and wanted. However, his Master has to earn his respect. He will not give it to just anyone and he hates being called a slave. However, he has recently discovered the difference between a strong Master and a strong Dominant. The dominant he much prefers. Binding has two sons, Crux and Aquilla. Crux is already showing signs of the gold eye. Binding was a slave before. He was recaptured and brought to the Golden Tether, after the untimely death of his Master. Binding was shipped to the Tether in a large wooden crate. He stayed in the crate for several weeks so that he was completely disorientated and ran less of a risk of light blindness during transport. Because of this, closed in spaces terrify him.

Rumors It is said that Binding actually killed his first Master, after the man impregnated him and forced Binding to terminate the pregnancy via a good ol' fashioned beating. It's rumored that while serving his Master the man's favored dinner of roast beef, the wolf picked up the carving knife and put it through the man's eye. It is also rumored that Binding was in line to become an Angel of Death. Meaning he was being raised to die. He chose life, so he ran as soon as he could and committed the one act that would disqualify him, which happened to involve a little horizontal tango. It has been said that turning away form his duties infuriated his mother, who was embarrassed by his son's behavior, even though it otherwise would have meant his son's death. It is said that while Binding claims he ran away from his pack, he was actually run out of it by his own family.
