The Wolfhounds are an ancient family that claims a dynasty hailing back to the old Gods of a far off land. Legend states that the Gods looked down from their high places and saw only a swath of light across the land. "Imbalance." spoke their patriarch, as the shadow was withdrawn into the dark places, helpless and lacking expanse.
The Wolfhounds and their followers were formed in response to this; a clan state of warlords, monsters and godlings that would push the forces of light, to test it and restore the balance of light and dark, peace and war, calm and terror into the mortal worlds. And for years, the Wolfhound clan's Dark Alliance rode outwards, burning and pillaging, conquering and lording over the weak.
Monsters, however, are prone to capriciousness, and so the Wolfhound bloodline has grown to expand many numerous scions and children, intermarrying with the mortal world and becoming more of it.
