Red Wolf of Russia
"He's a wolf in man's clothing."
Igor is loud and headstrong. He’s very set in his ways and spends most of his time these days in underground fighting rings, be they mortal or supernatural in nature, pubs or bars, or going out to valleys and wooded areas to run free for some time. He is brutish and values strength both of body and of spirit vastly. He does have quiet moments where he weaves blankets or works on his tailoring but it’s overshadowed by his tendency to cause trouble and reap

Strengths and Weaknesses
Master Combatant
Even outside of his beastly form Igor is very skilled in fights. He has honed his physical capability and hand to hand combat knowledge throughout the years. He’s also a fairly good shot with ranged weaponry but he doesn’t care for modern guns or really guns and bows at all, prefering to be up close and personal.
Conspicuous
He’s a prime example of lack of stealth or care for keeping a low profile, at least when it comes to human society or situations where he isn't specifically attempting to be unnoticed (ie: in a hunt). He tried for some years but with the influence of the Hag he has grown restless and wild again. Between his looming stature and his boisterous presence it’s not hard to pick him out of a crowd.
Craftsman
Igor is very good at textiles. He can fur and skin animals expertly as well as sew and weave. He took up a business in the cold war selling furs and clothes as he laid low but these days he has weaned off it in favor of returning to his roots of bloodlust and violence.
Paranoid
Igor is very paranoid and won’t even sleep in his human form, as if his pelt is destroyed he will lose his powers and his connection to the Hag. He is very defensive of it and he doesn’t trust easy so he rarely forms meaningful connections or opens up to others.
Tracker
With or without use of his wolf-like senses Igor is a very knowledgable man when it comes to tracking and hunting. He can be very patient and focused when it comes to finding prey, be it a specific target or simply trying to find any deer in a large swatch of woods. Few can hide from him.
Uncooperative
He works terribly with others these days. He’s not opposed to it and actually would even like working FOR someone but he doesn’t tend to stay around long as his standards and views are very hard to actually live up to. Typically he may start a partnership but drop out quickly or suddenly due to loss of interest.

History (WIP)
Before The Pelt
Once upon a time Igor was a fur trader and artisan before being recruited among the first unit of Streltsy, he primarily worked in military operations but would also work along border patrol when not at war.
Turning
Igor was known for his ruthlessness in battle and apparent blood lust the longer he'd be in service. His proficency and effectiveness nearly earned him a title of Warlord but he humbly refused as he wanted to stay a foot soldier and battle head on still. As he got older his body started to take its toll and he began to grow desperate to continue fighting. This eventually lead to engaging the superstitious and rituals of witches.
One such ritual worked, and he became as much a wolf as he was a man, melding with the pelt he'd shorn from a great wolf and ravaging a nearby settlement. When he was found he was nearly executed quietly but soon was pardoned as his new nature was discovered and he became a tool of war much to his own delight. He'd continue on like this until the death of the Romanovs, when he'd realized a swath of the revolutionaries knew what he was and had prepared the necessary steps to hunt him down through weaknesses inherent in Lycans.
Now
Igor traveled across Europe, leaving a bloody pack in his wake as he was chased out of town after town. He finally traveled to America shortly after world war 2 and started to lay low through the cold war. Recently he's started to come out of the woodworks again with more ruthless and reckless abandon, taking to hunting down Monster Hunters and dispatching them brutally.
Inna Skornyakov
[ Former Wife ]
Inna was Igor's wife back when he was mortal, before he went to war and lost himself in bloodshed and battle. She began to resent him for leaving her, even if he extended finance and luxury to her as he rised in ranks. Eventually Inna was getting older, unable to provide anymore. She refused contact with him until she was on her deathbed, where he visited her. This was the ultimate catalyst for his attempts to gain Immortality.
Ved'ma
[ Witch ]
She is the Witch who granted him long life and the power of wolves and hunt. She feeds off bloodshed and chaos, wanting to see how much of humanity he can wipe out before they best him, if they can best him at all. She loves to grant wild favors just to see where the chips may fall for the heck of it, not caring about grand schemes or prolific destinies beyond seeing how far one person can be pushed before they begin to break.
Anatasia Borisyuk
[ Descendant ]
One of his younger descendants, she’s being reared to take over the family name one day and the business they’ve made for themselves. She has something of a fascination with their history and the stories of the Wurdulac that have faded more as time went on. Igor has heard whisperings from the Hag that it’s his own blood that will slay the beast, but he doesn’t know it’s her.
