He was 210 pounds of muscle, 6’1, with emerald green eyes that transformed to glowing gold while he was in wolf form. Tristan had jet black hair that was cut short and usually spiked. They differed in looks, and most of all, personality. Their friendship was very limited when they were children, and Tristan was seven years older than Cassius. Despite his initial struggles to adjust to his new life, he eventually became Tristan’s most trusted friend, and he just so happened to be mutual friends with Tristan’s old neighbor, Cassius Corinthos. The very first human that Tristan had turned was a sixteen year old boy that went to his old high school. He was always knowledgeable with computers, but his job only consisted of going to work in expensive Italian suits once every so often, and fulfilling his duties as CEO.īy night, he made sure the town of Howls Grove was safe from vampires and wolf hunters who were targeting his pack. By day, he ran his father’s business, North-Intel Inc. His pack lived inside the monstrous family mansion.
When they died, Tristan inherited the billion dollar fortune. He was a respected leader in his pack and community. Ever since he had his heart broken by Julia, he swore off relationships and became twice as guarded. Tristan was a level minded man who fought fiercely for the people he loved.
But those who did, immediately pledged allegiance to Tristan, their leader, and were soon taught how to use their gifts and control the times when they would shift on a full moon, without enduring the excruciating pain of the transformation.Īn Alpha was able to shift at will, during the day, but a Beta and Omega could not, until sundown. Some individuals did not have a strong enough immune system to survive the fever and infection that would ensue. Once bitten, transformation was not guaranteed. So, throughout the years, he returned to his hometown in Howls Grove and selected seven other humans to turn through a wolf bite. When Tristan became an Alpha at twenty-two, he realized that he needed his own pack. And if an Alpha is challenged by a Beta and killed, then the Beta will automatically assume power and become the new Alpha. In some instances, if an Alpha dies, a Beta will assume the new responsibilities and rule the pack as Alpha. They are often used as scapegoats, lowest in priority to be fed and cared for. A Beta is second in command, and Omegas are lowest on the totem pole of power. Alphas have the highest rank, and both genders are qualified to attain this position. When his father died, this automatically made him Alpha.Īn Alpha determines social rank within the hierarchy of a traditional wolf pack.

Tristan eventually carried out his retribution when he killed Julia Silver after tracking her scent all the way to London. Her vendetta to gain his trust and get him to reveal all his secrets aided her agenda into capturing his family and destroying their lives. The same family that abducted and killed his loved ones. She was part of the family of werewolf hunters. The most part tragic of this tale was that Tristan had fallen in love with a woman who he believed loved him with an honest heart, but she deceived him. Tristan was the only survivor because he had escaped, being only eighteen at the time.
They were transported and taken to an underground laboratory where a series of horrific experiments were conducted until they inevitably died. At twenty-five years old, he had lost all his beloved family members when they were abducted from their home one night by wolf hunters.
Of course, not everyone knew that he was in fact, a werewolf, and not just any werewolf… Alpha of the wolves. Tristan Northam was the most intimidating man-no, wolf, in Howls Grove.
