PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
General Appearance:
Adrian gained a few traits from both his Alpha bloodlines and his historic bloodlines that classify him as a pure Claymore. Much like his father, Adrian is very tall for his age, and surprisingly stands above his father, at about 6'4 1/2. His build is muscular, with toned, hard muscle shaping to his body and remaining noticeable enough against his stature. His complexion, though not quite as bronzed as his father, definitely holds a tan to it that continues to deepen with each sunny day. His hair holds a good volume to it, cut short with choppy, messy bangs up front, and is colored into a lighter, softer brown, unlike his father's dark brown. His eyes are an odd color; they are the customary deep chocolate brown, except they seem to have an odd tint to them when placed in the correct light - a ruby tint, to be exact. The tint seems to become more prominent when his temper rises, giving him a better advantage in the field of intimidation.
Wolf Appearance:
With natural Alpha blood running through his body, Adrian is naturally one of the largest wolves in the Claymore pack. His height and size rival with his father's, and it examined closely enough, could be considered larger than Luke's wolf form, making him by far the largest wolf in the pack. The muscle flows sinuously underneath a thick coat of deep brown fur. His eyes lighten into a mixture of pale yellow and light brown, forging an odd combination that is bright within the darkest of nights. His jaws are powerful and can pack in quite a large bite, each lined with lightly curving, thick fangs that could pierce through the toughest hide, and the claws on each of his paws are curved and gruffly sharpened, forged to hook onto and stay onto both opponent and prey. He releases a naturally inherited aura of dominance and the power one with Alpha blood contains, yet it seems to be . . . more courageous, more noble than the aura that his father carries, a far more desirable, yet just as frightening {if not even more frightening}natural air to those of a lower status.

MENTAL CHARACTERISTICS
Current Goal/Purpose in life:
To someday rise to the status his father has constantly feared of him being. He desires the feeling of leadership given to the true Alpha of a closely-bonded pack, the feeling of warmth and care and closeness to those in the pack he truly does love. It's a far better desire than what his father has in mind. He also, in secret, desires the feeling of a closer bond to another wolf, the true mate bond.
Talents:
Naturally, Adrian is a fantastic leader, whose intelligence in tactical and combative strategies is unmatched to any other. He has a deep sense of loyalty and bonding to those within his pack, often pushing aside his dominant blood to care for the young of the pack or to comfort one of the lower in ranks. He also can rise himself up from his usually rather submissive composure to become an intimidating beast of a canine whenever necessary.
Inabilities:
His temper has grown into something that is very difficult to keep controlled - he often does try as hard as he can to keep it in containment, but will sometimes fail to do so and unleash a powerful rage from within him, something built up and packed in over the years with his father's verbal and even physical abuse. He also cannot, for the life of him, ever truly get his inner wolf and inner Alpha under his complete control. It often will sway him towards doing some questionable things, and although he often times is able to defy it with his better nature, it will sometimes temporarily break loose and drive him to do things Adrian, as a person, doesn't normally do.
Fears:
Adrian is very, very afraid of losing himself to his inner Alpha and becoming what his father is. It's constantly there to seethe and bubble underneath his true nature, whisper thoughts into his mind and scold him for doing anything under his blood status, and if he ever were to succumb to it, he knows that he would become what his father is, and that is his true fear. It's why he keeps his inner Alpha under such careful control and meticulous watch. He also is extremely claustrophobic, and becomes rather violent whenever trapped in an enclosed space for a long period of time.
General Personality:
Adrian, on a normal basis, is a loyal, very thoughtful young man. He would never, not in his entire lifetime or under any circumstance, harm one of his pack members {with the exception of the Alpha}. He remains in complete liege and honesty to each and every one of them, always stepping forward whenever he detects a need for help, always volunteering to assist in normally quite strenuous tasks. He feels a sense of both accomplishment and just pure warmth in helping his pack members. He feels that, as a wolf with Alpha blood, it is a sole duty to be there in order to keep his pack healthy, happy, and cared for, and often earns a good amount of respect through this dutiful and willing attitude. He has an intense sense of protectiveness that is no laughing matter - his temper is willing to rise from the depths to unleash something that could make even the most courageous of wolves cower, and with the Alpha blood and deep connection he has with the rest of his pack members, he is more than willing to kill in order to keep those within his Claymore family safe.
Inner Personality:
Adrian allows a good majority of his traits to be worn on his exterior, but there are a few underneath that remain unknown to the majority of the Claymore pack. For one thing, his inner Alpha remains inside of him continuously. It always attempts to scold or put him down whenever he does a service for a lower-blooded wolf, and always presses him to do the more outrageous things that he has seen his father do. It's a bitter and very dominant side of Adrian that is constantly kept under check and secure lockdown, since the very last thing that Adrian would ever want to do is become anything like what his father is. He also has a ball of anger, of pure rage, that waits within and is ready to let loose it's destructive and very, very dangerous wrath whenever Adrian is ready to snap.
Secret:
One of his secrets is his desire to find his true mate. He feels a need to have a true partner that he could dedicate himself to and protect, and keeps his detection for the bond strong day by day. His other secret is the temper that is waiting to unleash - he keeps it all inside until the right moment comes, only peeling away from it whenever he needs to deliver a small fit of temper to an opponent or troublemaker. But these subtracted layers are always and almost immediately resupplied.

HISTORIC BACKGROUND
General History:
Adrian lived under the verbal, mental, and physical abuse of his father ever since he was a pup. His father's paranoia led to this harsh and constant downing of his son, and although Luke thought it would keep Adrian from fulfilling the prophecy, he was very wrong. Over the years, Adrian grew and learned from the unnecessary punishment delivered to him, forming his temperamental nature at a young age and letting it develop over the years. Adrian grew more and more bitter and defiant towards his father as time passed, and keeps the balled-up anger inside of him until the correct moment comes along.
Present Life:
Adrian continues his silent waiting for the last straw of his temper to come by and finally make him snap, willing to allow himself to be broken when the time is right. He leads each hunt the pack members go on, continues to service his fellow pack members in any way he possibly can, and quietly searches for the true mate bond to be found in another wolf.
