Oddities: They will at times turn to his wolfen shade if he's angry, frightened, or otherwise experiencing heightened emotion.
Personality: Ryan is a snake, deep down. He has been since his human days; he came from comparitively nothing, but he was smart enough to figure out early on that the surest way to make something of himself is to curry the favor of those above him. So long as he thinks there will be some advantage to himself, either now or down the road, he'll be your friend. This isn't solely limited to those in positions of power, either; even individuals weaker than himself can be of use. He isn't a genuine friend to anyone, and will turn on even his closest allegiances if what he stands to gain outweighs the potential risk.
Weaknesses: Like all werewolves, Ryan can't abide silver and it will kill him. His own personality is also a weakness, because if others start figuring out that he plays both sides against the middle, his life could be in tremendous jeopardy. He has to be extremely careful about which lie he tells when, and keep minute track of who believes what. He is not especially physically strong, even in his wolf form, and could be overpowered with ease.
Abilities: Ryan has the heightened senses which are common to all werewolves -- speed, sight, agility, etc. He has an excellent memory and a strong eye for detail. When he wants to relax, he plays the piano, which after decades of practice he does extremely well.
Weapons: He is never without a pair of handguns, one of which is loaded with silver bullets in case he needs to kill one of his own kind.
Prized Possessions: Just as he forms no attachment to other individuals, he forms no attachment to objects. It's much easier to cut and run if there's nothing you absolutely have to have.
Home(s): A mansion just outside LA.
History: Ryan was born into the poor Clerec family in Tennessee in the middle of the 19th century. He was the fourth son, and his devoutly Catholic family intended him to enter the priesthood. Ryan had other ideas. He resented the poverty in which his large family had to live -- with nine children, there was never enough food or money to go around, despite how hard they worked to keep their farm going -- and in his late teens, he ran away from home. He made it as far as Illinois, where he took a job on the governor's estate. It was there that he began honing his skills as a suck-up and backstabber, charming and conning other people to enhance his status.
He was in his early twenties when he was attacked. Walking through the woods one night, he was set upon by a werewolf. The creature would have devoured him, but it was startled by the arrival of some other people, and took off; the two woodsmen brought Ryan back to their cabin and nursed him back to health. When the next full moon came, they were rewarded for their kindness -- Ryan sent them to their eternal reward.
Not long afterward, luckily for the people of the region, Ryan was found by Lucian's pack. He's been with them ever since, gaining control over his transformation and ingratiating himself with the Alphas and other members. The mansion in which they currently live is exactly the kind of living he's always wanted for himself, and he'll do whatever it takes to stay in an opulent setting, no matter who has to get hurt.
