Merrick is hulking; a striking figure that one isn't soon to forget. His appearance is only overshadowed by his brusque mannerisms and dark ways. The big brute is well muscled from time spent hauling line on ships. Scars litter his body, some able to be seen through the shorter fur on his body. The most noticeable are those flecked across the right side of his face and muzzle.

Merrick's underside is deepest charcoal as his forehead and the stretch down his muzzle to his nose. Violet mottled with lavender and hibiscus stretches down the giant's sides, cheeks and tail. A blaze of palest silver runs the length of his spine. This pale color curls lightly around the widest part of his ribcage. Silver runs up the back of the brute's thickly furred neck, encasing the backs of both tall ears as well as the thicker chops of his cheeks.

Mismatched eyes stare hard out of a chiseled face. His right eye matches that of his younger sibling and is a vibrant turquoise. The left eye is the deep red of old blood. Framing that red eye is a white marking, typical of the Mendacium line.

Brutal: There is little feeling within the brute for those that do not prove their worth. He will mete out justice easily and with no remorse. His methods are swift when necessary and drawn out when the situation calls for it. You might think that he draws pleasure from torturing and killing others. You wouldn't be wrong in that assessment. Why not be proud of something that you're good at? Often, Merrick has been called upon to cull extra pups in litters when the parents just can't stomach the task. There are whispers that he has been called The Reaper behind closed doors.

Vindictive and Possessive: An eye for an eye. Or maybe your whole head. Merrick does not take slights against him very well. The women in his life will be forced to walk on eggshells and any displeasure will be blatantly shown. Punishments will be given quickly to those that disobey. Look at another man and he'll pop your eyes right out of your skull. Touch another man and you'll lose that paw. Lay with another man... death will swiftly follow.

Self-Serving: Merrick is more than a little selfish. He enjoys being complimented and doted upon to a fault. This can make him let his guard down a bit with the women in his life. Keep him happy, do what he wants, and he'll be sweet as pie. Merrick tries to shift situations into his favor whenever possible. He really is the most important wolf in his life. It's rare that another receives a similar sense of import.

Superstitious: It might be a little odd to think a brute like Merrick could be superstitious, but he very much is. Omens and symbols have power. A shift in the wind can bring calamity or prosperity. Believing so deeply in superstitions can often bring the brute to episodes of mania, making him extra aggressive to those around him.
