Mendacium Family Adoption

BIG OLE WIP--

Name: Poe Mendacium
Relation to Manea: Cousin, possibly through Larisa?
Gender: Male
Height: Dire? Maybe? Idk I'm still working on this
Build: medium or heavy
Appearance: Goth
Special Attributes: Would love a mutation, but likely not gonna be able to afford it if he's a dire. Maybe polydactyly in the forepaws? Otherwise I would love to get him snake eyes, and have him be XL-non dire height.
Alignment: Neutral Evil neutral good when there's a child left in his care
Personality:
Aloof & Distant: First impressions are everything, and Poe aims to be an enigma from the start. Putting off an overall disposition of being apathetic or disinterested, it always seems like he has better places to be. Distant and cold on the outside, with a roving gaze that seems to land anywhere but the face of whoever needs his attention. He maintains a great deal of emotional separation with strangers, and even with his more loosely tied relatives. It is quite rare for him to express genuine interest or care for others, beyond what serves his own interests.
Calculating & Cynical: The world is cruel, and Poe only sees the worst in others. He has become skilled in the art of giving the initial once over and finding his results come away fairly accurate. The dark sides of others are the most useful to him, they serves his nefarious ends far better than the good natured aspects. It only serves to amplify his trust issues, and further his isolation from the majority of the world around him. The only thing that feeds into this terrible cycle is the ability to minimize guilt associated with the use and abuse of others for his own gain, once he sees only their most glaring flaws.
Hedonistic & Cruel: While he cannot make a mate of just any wolf he comes across, Poe is certainly a harlot. Driven by an intense desire for physical pleasures, he is well known to seek out others in the interest of devouring them. His tastes border on the verge of outright sadism, and he derives a great deal of satisfaction in drawing blood, sweat, and tears from his partners. There is a thrill to the chase, and he has certainly chased down his fair share when they weren't receptive of his advances. For the most part, he aims to engage with those who gain as much satisfaction from sex as he does - their enjoyment only amplifies his.
Short Tempered & Unforgiving: To slight Poe is to risk pain of death. It takes very little to set him off, and anyone who can recognize how to push his buttons is almost certain to regret it sooner than they think. He is a brawler by nature, and built for heavy hitting. If not met with outright violence upon insulting him, trust that Poe will hold a grudge until well beyond the grave. It requires a grand gesture and a thousand promises at the minimum to sate his temper once he's set his mind to hurting you. Even then, his trust will certainly never be fully won back. There will always be doubt toying at the back of his mind, scrutinizing every effort made and every action taken.
Protective & Nurturing: A dramatic shift in his demeanour comes when he is around family and friends. Beneath the callous, dangerous exterior is a genuinely affectionate and caring man that only wants the best for his family. Fond of gentle bumps of the shoulder and selfless undertakings, he is most at peace when surrounded by those he loves. Poe is an excellent wet nurse, and was sought after among his siblings and cousins when it came time to leave the kids with someone while they went out. For all the terror he can instill with a mere glance, he is no more than an overstuffed teddy bear for his nieces and nephews. Anyone would find themselves hard pressed to find a more steadfast guardian for their offspring.

Backstory: Most of his yearling and adult years have been spent tending to newly born siblings, and serving his sisters when required. Heavily devoted to his family, while he worked more loosely towards his own goals of locating his soul mate. It took a great deal of bullying from his closest family members, but he eventually was forced away from his parents and siblings to search for his own destiny. Hunting down his soul mate, he exhausted his options in their homeland and decided to follow the general trajectory Manea took, assuming that since she never returned to the fold the was likely successful in some regard wherever she ended up.

Plots: Maybe hang around Manea in search of guidance from the new matriarch, potentially acting in a supporting role during her whelping? I also wouldn't mind tossing him into a pack to act as a soldier until summoned by Manea for some grunt work/hunting/etc.
