Von Lycaon | Date

He is in love with Proxy.

Lycaon's first encounter with Proxy occurs as part of a collaboration between Victoria Housekeeping Co. and Proxy.
By this point, Lycaon already knows that Proxy is an experienced guide through the Caverns, though he hasn't personally worked with her before. At their first meeting, he behaves exactly as befits a butler:
greets her politely;
is presented without unnecessary pathos;
speaks calmly and respectfully;
gets straight to the point without wasting time on empty talk.
However, behind her impeccable manners, he carefully evaluates Proxy. Lycaon is accustomed to trusting actions, not words, so he initially treats her with professional caution. He observes how she makes decisions, handles dangers, and interacts with the team.
As the mission progresses, his attitude gradually changes. He notices that Proxy doesn't lose her cool in difficult situations, maintains her composure, and genuinely cares for her allies. These qualities earn Lycaon's sincere respect.
After their first joint operation, he begins to view Proxy not just as a hired specialist, but as a trusted partner. Although it's barely noticeable outwardly—he remains calm, reserved, and polite—his conversations become more trusting. He asks for her opinion more often, listens to her decisions, and collaborates with her on subsequent missions without hesitation.
In other words, their first meeting isn't built on conflict or misunderstanding. Rather, it's an introduction between two professionals: Proxy gradually earns Lycaon's respect not through words but through her actions, and he, in turn, reciprocates her with genuine trust, albeit rather reservedly.

In his youth, Lycaon worked for the Mockingbirds, a criminal gang. Essentially, they stole money from the rich and gave it to the poor, trying to restore justice to the world. Lycaon's partner was his now-former friend, Hugo Vlad; they literally grew up together. In his youth, Lycaon was terribly hot-tempered and irritable.

One such graveyard caused a conflict with Hugo over their differing views on life. Lycaon believed that no one should die, while Hugo believed that one could be killed for the safety of everyone. Lycaon disagreed with this idea. While Lycaon was saving innocent people, he lost his legs and an eye in the building's explosion.

Hugo betrayed him, despite his oath.

After that, their paths diverged.

Lycaon buried his past, not remembering it and not telling anyone about his criminal past.

Despite its name, this is more than just a cleaning company. Under the guise of an elite home services agency, the organization offers a wide range of services:
butler and maid services;
customer protection;
accompaniment;
carrying out dangerous assignments;
operations in the Caverns, including combat missions against the Ethereals.
Lycaon himself is responsible for:
human resources management;
planning of operations and schedules;
safety of customers and employees;
implementation of the most complex contracts.

The most interesting thing about Lycaon is his internal conflict.
He is simultaneously:
well-mannered butler;
noble gentleman;
experienced warrior;
natural born predator.
He doesn't try to shake off his wolf nature—he's learned to live with it and keep it under control. That's why, in dangerous situations, his gaze hardens, his movements become more rapid, but he still maintains dignity and a sense of proportion.

Lycaon is a tall (approximately 198 cm) wolf tyren with an athletic build and cybernetic legs that are used both as a means of transportation and as a powerful weapon in combat.
Head
white wool;
long, elongated wolf muzzle;
black nose;
large pointed ears;
thick hair around the neck, resembling a mane;
light eyes with a very attentive, penetrating look.
His facial expression is usually calm and reserved.
Physique:
If we imagine Lycaon without clothes (in the non-erotic anatomical sense), then we would expect the following based on his official design:
tall;
broad shoulders;
narrow waist;
developed chest;
strong back muscles;
long arms;
Pronounced but not excessive musculature.
He doesn't look like a bodybuilder, but like a person who is constantly in excellent physical shape.
Wool:
The fur covers almost the entire body, as with most anthropomorphic tyrens.
Most likely:
the main color is white;
in some areas there are darker accents;
the hair on the chest and neck is longer;
on the arms and legs - shorter and denser.
Tail: Large, bushy wolf tail.
Most likely, his mood can be somewhat reflected in his position, although Lycaon himself has excellent control over his emotions and does not allow his tail to give him away too clearly.
Cybernetic legs (up to the knee):
This is one of the most noticeable features.
His legs below the hips have been replaced with complex mechanical prosthetics.
They:
extremely powerful;
allow you to deliver devastating blows;
very stable;
have high mobility.
Despite its mechanical nature, Lycaon moves with surprising fluidity and grace.

Lycaon has many characteristic behavioral traits.
He constantly monitors his posture.
The back is always straight.
Shoulders are relaxed.
Every movement looks precise.
Almost doesn't gesticulate.
His gestures are minimal.
He doesn't wave his arms.
Even the inviting gesture looks very neat.
Walks almost silently.
Like a real predator.
Sometimes it feels like he literally appears out of nowhere.
Constantly evaluates the environment.
Even while talking, he remarks:
doors;
windows;
potential threats;
condition of the premises.
He loves cleanliness very much.
If he sees:
spot;
dust;
dirt,
will most likely fix it automatically.
During the fight his behavior changes.
The image of the calm butler disappears.
A real wolf appears.
He begins to move faster, more confidently and more aggressively.
But even then he does not lose his dignity.

Lycaon is very smart.
He:
quickly analyzes the situation;
reads people well;
knows how to make plans;
rarely acts impulsively.
It's hard to catch him off guard.

The most interesting side of the character.
Despite his perfect manners, he is still a wolf.
Sometimes this manifests itself:
with a glance;
pose;
intonation;
movements;
reaction to danger.
During combat, he becomes much more predatory.
His movements resemble hunting.
Official descriptions even say that beneath the outward sophistication lies an innate wild nature that emerges in the face of danger.

He literally hates clutter.
Dust.
Dirt.
Things placed unevenly.
A job poorly done.
All this causes him genuine irritation.
And not out of disgust, but because for him, order means control.

Lycaon's character is a combination of discipline, good manners and a deeply hidden wildness.

1. Absolute professional
   For him, work is practically the meaning of existence.
   He doesn't do anything half-heartedly. If a task is accepted, it will be carried out perfectly, no matter how complex. Lycaon believes that a good butler must be in complete control of the situation.
   Therefore he:
   rarely makes mistakes;
   always plans actions in advance;
   maintains composure even in danger;
   never lets emotions interfere with work.
   He is the kind of person who would rather sacrifice his own comfort than allow carelessness.
2. Very well-mannered
   His speech is always calm.
   He:
   speaks softly;
   never raises his voice unless absolutely necessary;
   treats almost everyone with respect;
   listens attentively to the interlocutor.
   He is even able to say to his enemy:
   "I beg your pardon, but I will have to use force."
   And it sounds completely sincere.
3. Self-control
   Probably Lycaon's main quality.
   He constantly holds back his true emotions.
   When others might be angry, laughing, or panicking, he remains calm.
   But that doesn't mean he's insensitive.
   Vice versa.
   He simply believes that a true professional must control himself.
4. Devotion
   If Lycaon has recognized a person as his master or ally, he becomes incredibly loyal.
   His trust is hard to earn.
   But if this happened, he will defend this person literally until the end.
   Loyalty is not an obligation for him.
   This is a conscious choice.
5. Care
   Although he appears cold on the outside, Lycaon is very caring.
   He notes:
   fatigue;
   hunger;
   Bad mood;
   injuries;
   stress.
   But it doesn’t help with words like:
   "Are you okay?"
   And by actions.
   For example:
   will bring tea;
   prepare clothes;
   solves the problem before a person notices it;
   will discreetly remove the mess.
   His love and affection are expressed precisely through his actions.
