Alphaeus Silverspire
Clan Head Alphaeus Silverspire
"If you compare the the Silverspire Court like that of a fortress, a prison in its build, then Alphaeus is it's warden. Clean and proper as they come, not a crimson hair out of place. Holds all of her clan up to her same high standards. No wonder her daughter left, I don't think I'd do well under that pressure either." - Vincent Merriweather
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Physically fit, thick muscle with a weight-lifter physique. Despite her 100+ yr age, she looks to be in her late 50s/early 60s thanks to the regenerative aspects of her lycanthropy.
Facial Features
Defined, angular jawline, heavy brows, sunken eyes, dainty nose, and high cheekbones. Eyes are an amber-gold colour. Her hair is long but almost always tied back in a tight bun to keep it out of the way. It's a deep red in colour.
Physical quirks
A very proper and upright posture, walks, stands, and sits with a very straight, almost militaristic at times.
Her eyes are almost always squinted and somewhat strained looking, they're dry and rumor has it her eyesight is slowly going.
Special abilities
Lycanthropy - Able to shapeshift and take on the form of a large bipedal werewolf, with a silvery coat, save for red gradiation on the rump, a red mane, and points along her forearms and back legs. Along with enhanced senses, strength, stamina, and a regenerative ability.
She has an incredible control over it, using the wolf like a tool to get things done, and is able to shift nearly completely at will. She still goes under a forced transformation when the moon shines full - but is diligent in making sure she is well confined when this happens.
Apparel & Accessories
Wears a dark grey vintage military coat and pants with aged brass buttons, and a bronze coloured trim. Usually has a white blouse underneath that is tightly tucked into the pants. A black leather belt holding them both in place. Along with a more pedestrian scarf, striped gold and mahogany in colour. Small gold cuff-like earrings pierced through the upper cartilage of both ears, and a gold bracelet on her right wrist.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
at just 100 years young, Alphaeus has enjoyed a long, fruitful life that she likes to thank her upbringing for. She comes from a long line of werewolves, and was inducted into the ways of the beast fairly early on. Some people have sweet 16's, she got a ritual to continue her family's unique lineage.
Being so young, she had more time, and a more impressionable mind than others of her family to really commit to the habits needed to keep control of the wolf within.
She did well in her training, and was held up in regards as a bit of a prodigy among her kin. She was given with plenty of praise, and special treatment, which has lead her to have a slightly grandiose sense of self, and a high level of vanity that's still present today. Around her early 20s, after having a couple kids of her own, and life going well. Her world all came crashing to a halt when an attack from a much larger clan of werewolves attacked her own. She lost nearly everyone...
Only her mother, her two kids, and a few other clan members managed to survive the carnage. They were forced from their territory and left to wander. They lived nomadically for a while, learning the hard lessons that come with having no concrete home, and having to truly fend for oneself. Eventually though, they came across what would soon be their saving grace - a little swamp town in the throws of construction and progress - Duskmire was still in its earlier years when they found it, and struck a deal with the mayor. If they were willing to help build, they'd be given accommodations for their efforts. From there, Alphaeus and the few of her kin were finally able to flourish, to find a place to call home. Eventually they were able to lay claim on their own little spot of land, and build up a grand house to call their own. The rest of Silverspire Court grew from there, as their families gradually expanded throughout the years. She assumed the role of Clan Leader fairly early in the court's development. Her mother was aging, and felt her old ways wouldn't suit this brand new start. But Alphaeus was ready. She'd shown incredible ambition, loyalty, and care for her kin, and the vote was unanimous amongst them all.
She's held that title fiercely and diligently since, doing all she can to keep the clan strong.

Failures & Embarrassments
Not being able to save more of her kin from the attack still weighs on her.
Going through so much to keep her children safe, and well-off, only to have a falling out with her daughter, Moonray Heartmoon
They eventually just couldn't see eye-to-eye on the future of the clan and how it should be run, so much so that in a fit of anger, she disowned her daughter, and watched her run off to form her own clan. She regrets it every day, and has tried to make amends, but the wound is still far too deep. She carries on, taking care of her own clan in the face of this grief. As that's what she's always done. But she misses her daughter sorely.
