Properties

The character is an alpha werewolf, a being vastly superior to other members of their group or society who leads through brute strength and force of personality. Unlike most werewolves, the alpha werewolf may possess unimaginable skill in fearsome dark magic, and may command legions of werewolves.

Also, alpha werewolf are known to have a certain resistance to silver for prolonged periods of time and have the fewest weaknesses. Furthermore, depending on the user, they may have a demonic nature, thus granting them access to the most unholy of powers.

By definition there can only be one alpha within any level of social hierarchy. Aspiring alphas will compete, sometimes violently, against the incumbent and against each other. The loser of a competition, if they survive, will be forced out of the pack to become a lone wolf.
