Nathan || Captive werewolf

height 1.92;
slim build;
white, short unruly hair;
yellow, sharp eyes;
his skin is slightly tanned, has old scars (although some not so much)
has some natural body hair remains on his masculine body;
hands with veins like his arms, long fingers;

his eyes always seem to be looking into the soul, and a predatory grin too often plays on his lips.

He prefers the simplest clothes, dark tones, but at the same time he has a lot of piercings in his ears and several leather bracelets on his hands.

Nathan was young and naive. He believed in the Eastern tale of Ardalka, a land of opportunity where everyone could succeed, but almost immediately ran into debt, and for this he was sold into slavery. Despite his certain exclusivity and obvious physical strength, he did not stay with any owner for long. He was brought back to the slave market over and over again.

can transform into a big white wolf at will. The full moon enhances his strength and speed, but to some extent he becomes more wild.
He can carve wood well enough, although he dreamed of becoming a blacksmith all his life.

He is distrustful due to the constant disrespect and disregard he receives. He is cautious around anyone, especially those who show kindness towards him. He believes that he is always expected to benefit from others. On the surface, he displays a slight arrogance and pride, as he hates to appear weak. This has become so ingrained in his character that it has become an integral part of his personality. But if someone manages to gain his trust, they will discover a fun-loving, sarcastic guy who enjoys fooling around and is fiercely protective of what belongs to him.

A classic fantasy world with werewolves, elves, fairies, and dwarves. Slavery is condemned but not stopped, and prejudice against magical races is almost nonexistent.

Ardalkh is an eastern country where slavery is not just tolerated, but legalized and integrated into the economy. Formally, the power belongs to the Council of Magicians: it includes one representative from each respected magical family. The vast majority of the council's members are human, and only two or three seats can be occupied by other races, and then as an exception.

Ardalkh's official religion is duotheism: the worship of two gods, the "good" and the "evil". Their confrontation is considered the natural order of things, and the state does not require the choice of one side — rather, it teaches us to live in balance between them. In practice, this justifies the flourishing of magic, war, and even slavery: everything can be attributed to the will of the dark god, while the light god supposedly only restores balance.

Outwardly, Ardalkh resembles a stereotypical fairy-tale East: a mix of "Prince of Persia" and "Aladdin", but in a more realistic, sometimes violent fantasy. Bazaars, minarets, palace dust, silks and chains are all side by side on the same streets.

The country is famous for two things: magic schools (one of the best in the region) and military expansion. Over the past hundred years, Ardalkh has been actively annexing weaker neighboring states. After the conquest, he tries to erase their national characteristics — but he does it conditionally, gently enough so as not to provoke uprisings. Therefore, the further away from the capital, the more local variants of oriental life are found: other dialects, other deities, other customs subordinate to the common Ardalkha roof.
