Appearance

A grizzly man, with brown hair and brown eyes. He had lots of facial hair. He was quite large and ungainly, but not clumsy. His face and body were surprisingly unscarred due to his `regenerative' constitution. His voice had grown more like a bear over the years but he was still intelligible. He had used his partial form before, mainly for the claw attack, but had never combined his forms (A flying Bear).

Origins

From Mistridge originally, he left with the Senior Magi, to help found Malinbois. He was found wandering in the Forest of Moaning Oaks when young.

Personality Traits

Andreas was very quick tempered, quick to anger and slow to forget, often liable to furies which made the Turb careful with any insults. Due to his rages and supernatural abilities he tended to keep himself apart from the rest of the covenfolk, although he did spend time with the dogs. He had learnt to accept shape-shifting as part of his nature, and, when he gained more control, he shifted when needed - or when wet. Andreas used to get older and more grizzly.

Notes

Andreas has been happily married to a woman from Julliac for fifteen years and has had several sons (all shape-shifters) and one daughter. There are also several other women in Julliac with sons with battle appropriate Were-forms (instead of the standard Julliac trend of Were-Rabbits, Swans and Cats), but this is alright since the marriage is open, and this is actively encouraged.

At the moment Andreas flies to a small island off the coast of Canet-Plage, to visit a She-Bear (Another of his `acquaintances'). Throughout his life Andreas' name has gradually been corrupted, due to his poor spelling, and thick accent, he used to be called Andreos.

Unfortunately Andreas now is no longer a member of the Covenant, having wandered off into the forest of Moaning Oaks in his Bear form never to return.
