What can be found in a name: Darius
When the day I was born:
DOB 16/07/1947 (not his 'real' birthday - it is unknown)
The Angels screamed:
His 'real' parents are dead - he has no memory of them. The person he considers his father is Fenrir
And Hell shut its doors:
Fenrir's pack and offspring
While creatures retreated:
none
To depths unknown:
Halfblood

I hide from them:
If you want to find me you can look for me in Hogsmeade, in the Hogs Head and other dives. Or in the Knockturn Alley... doing all kinds of 'shady' business. I can be found where 'his' supporters are gathered. Then of course there is the forests and villages I hunt under the full moon ... you're always welcome to come to dinner there.
Be who they want to see:
Even though he is over 28 years old, Darius looks younger more around 22. His hair is dark, dark brown to almost back, slightly wavy. His eyes are grey and mostly cold. He is lean, muscular and powerful. He packs a punch when he hits due to his strength. He is six-foot one and quite rugged looking. He wears a black leather jacket or trenchcoat and a black hat, pulled low. Usually he carries two daggers one strapped to his right leg and the other in a sheath at the small of his back along with a 12-inch teak dragon heartstring wand. He is quite hot according to the girls. Oh almost forgot one thing ... Darius is a werewolf.

Yes, he was bitten and raised by Fenrir in Germany. He has regenerative abilities which let him heal, even from the most severe wounds. This is also why he looks younger than he is, as werewolves are slow aging and immune from most physical diseases due to the constant regeneration of their physical tissue. When he gladly changes at the time of the full moon, he turns into a very muscular 8-foot tall gray wolf. While a werewolf he retains enough knowledge to assist his killing, recognition of victiim and evasions of traps. He has enhanced senses, sight, smelling, hearing, etc in both human and wolf form. For those unfamiliar with werewolves, Silver bullets, silver knives, silver etc will not kill a werewolf. He will only have an allergic reaction. Of course if you stab him in a vital organ or give him wolfsbane it will kill him. Though I highly doubt he will let you get close enough.

But that leaves no one:



To discover that inside:
Savage killer by nature he is evil, sadistic and mean. An unofficial Death Eater, but devoted to Fenrir. Like Fenrir he does not bare the dark mark. For this reason he is not completely loyal to Voldemort. He feels Voldemort is using his kind to gain power. He is a lone wolf, following orders to a certain degree, then playing by his own set of rules. He considers humans weak, especially their females. Though they are perfect targets to satisfy his lust before he feeds on their blood. He prefers his own kind and is not mated. (werewolves mate for life)

He likes to laugh, but angers quickly. He has to work hard to control the anger. To not let it show nor let it interfere with his goal or objective. He watches people, studies them to find out what they fear the most. He plays upon those fears to get what he wants. He loves to hear a woman scream or cry. If he considers you a friend, you're lucky as he would be a friend for life. Loyal to his father, Fenrir and his pack. He is second in charge behind Fenrir. While he is 'forced' to change at the full moon, he can change into a Werewolf at will (voluntary) at any time, though he is quite smart and cunning as to not run about doing that unless necessary, as it could earn him a stay at Azkaban or even death.

Blood seeping through:
He is a halfblood wizard/werewolf
The satin sheets of fame:
Though technically homeless, he lives with his adoptive father Fenrir and is well off.
What a bitter story of love:
There is a reason his birthdate is recognized as July 16, 1947. That was the day his world changed forever. Just a toddler at the tender age of two, he and his parents were traveling back to their farm in Germany from a trip to visit family. Night had fallen, but the full moon illuminated their way, they continued on instead of putting up in the village.

The howl of a wolf echoed through the night, giving the family a slight chill on that warm summers night. Moving shadows followed the ox drawn wagon, filtering through the trees of the forest that lined the lane. The attack was swiftly executed though it seemed to last a long time it was over in mere minutes. The horrific sound of a woman screaming and a gun blast filled the night air. Quickly followed by the sounds of wolves fighting over a meal, the snapping, yelping and shredding. Above all of that was the shrill constant cry of a baby ... one that was hurt, scared and newly orphaned.

He grew up in the werewolf camps. Learning the ways of the wolf, to fight, mistrust, hate and fear. At age 10 Darius was sent to Drumstrang after he had shown signs of being a wizard. Meanwhile Fenrir had moved to England and joined forces with other clans taking over as their leader. Darius stayed at Drumstrang learning the ways of a wizard. Slipping off each full moon to hunt in the nearby woods and villages. He was a quiet student, keeping to himself and studying. He became quite an exceptional wizard by his sixteenth year. That summer he left school to join his father Fenrir, in England. He now works to bring destruction to the wizarding world alongside his father. Spreading evil and terror, providing Voldemort with the muscle, fear and leverage to use against those unwilling to follow him.

Darius knows that Fenrir is not his real father. But anything else is blank. He has no idea who his real family is or was. So he considers Fenrir as his father and the clan as his family. He would die for either.

{Recycled}
Darius was certainly no lackey. He was often sent on errands when Fenrir couldn't attend a previously scheduled event. Such was in the case of this evening. As it often is with Werewolf clans you always have one that thinks they should be leader of the pack. Fights ensue and sometimes the clan splits, forming two rival clans. Rival clans that more often than not fight each other for control of their original territory. Such a fight broke out between the Loki and Shakra clans. It was a bitter and bloody battle with casualties on both sides. Prisoners were taken to be executed for pleasure. Without intervention by a strong leader the clans would continue to fight until one wiped out the other. Fenrir was that intervention. He and a delegation went to handle the dispute, while he sent Darius to meet with Lucius.

After apparating just outside of the village, he walked past the foggy moor towards the town. The calm, cool night air held the wet smell of decay and peat bogs. The stars shone brightly with a few clouds passing over. Godric's Hollow was a quiet muggle/wizard village. The square empty except for the shroud of fog that half hid the war memorial and the street lights that tried to hold back the darkness. He paused next to the post office and looked across at the church.

The graveyard where the meeting was to take place was just behind the church through the kissing gate. As he crossed the street to the church his eyes searched the area, even though his senses told him only one was about. One could never be too careful. Arriving at the gate he placed his hand on it and pushed it open. Strolling past old and new graves, muggle and wizard, approaching the center of the graveyard.

The fog rolling at his feet, the faint glow of light reflecting off the fog as he walked through the graveyard would give a normal person an erie, creepy feeling. A black cat ran across the path in front of him on the way to finding an evening meal. There in the mist in front of him was a figure ... the person he was to meet. He strolled right up to him, his black trenchcoat swinging along with his stride. "Evening Lucius ... quaint setting." he rose an eyebrow.

[peterr]

Just two things... The Harry Potter lexicon says that when werewolves are in their human forms, they're exactly like other humans.. So why would he have enhanced senses when he's not a wolf?
Also, I'm not so sure about him changing into a wolf whenever he wants to... I'm pretty sure Remus and Fenrir can't do that (Fenrir definitely would, if he could!), so why can Darius?

[jamespotter]

Since JK does not really go into the symptoms, characteristics, traits, or even how to kill a werewolf I researched it on numerous sites. I did that research for several sites I have rped on including M&M of which Sopho and Dorcy were a part of. Now as part of my thinking into this I can justify Darius being able to transform at will by my research and also the fact that Remus tries to control his condition with potions and sheer will. He loathes the werewolf in him...

Darius on the other hand embraces it... does not try to control it and relishes the power it gives him. He doesn't lock himself up and he attacks and Kills humans. (Don't worry he is not going to be running amok killing every Tom, Dick and Harry). As for what Fenrir can and cannot do ... JK does not go into details . Just like she doesn't go into a lot of details about how the marauders were able to run with Remus in their animagi forms. It is assumed that he would only attack humans.

As for the heightened senses Remus even has it... He has often posted his inner wolf growling and not even at full moon time.

HPL also says A werewolf can be distinguished from a true wolf physically by several small distinguishing characteristics, including the pupils of the eyes, snout shape, and tufted tail However in the movie he is not the size and looks of a normal wolf. There are a LOT of deviations and facts left out probably cause like James' parents they weren't important.

Here is one link I re-found www.thingsthatgoboo.com/monsters/wolffaqs.htm (though I have found the same information in a lot of different areas or sites. Also below is a combination of my research into werewolfs (which includes information from that site as well - incase you don't want to look it up - LOL)

Werewolf
LYCANTHROPIC DISORDER :

Lycanthropic Disorder - is a mental condition in which the subject (called a Lycanthrope) believes that he or she is a werewolf. The subject does not actually change shape, but is nevertheless capable of being as dangerous as an actual werewolf. Most cases of supposed werewolfry are really the works of Lycanthropic Disorder victims.

MAN TO BEAST:

In real werewolves a physical change to wolf form does occur. The change can be voluntary (at will), or can be forced by certain cycles of the moon and certain sounds (such as howling).

WEREWOLVES & IMMORTALITY:

Werewolves are immune from aging and from most physical diseases due to the constant regeneration of their physical tissue. They can, therefore, be virtually immortal. However, they can be killed by any wound that destroys the heart or the brain, or any form of death that causes brain or heart damage (such as hanging or other oxygen-deprivation methods).

THE MIND OF A WEREWOLF :

Though primarily a true wolf while in wolf form, there is some proof that the werewolf retains enough knowledge to assist his killing; recognition of victims, evation of traps, and human cunning have all been seen on werewolf cases.

BECOMING A WEREWOLF:

There are several ways to become a werewolf. They include being givin the power of shape shifting through sorcery, being cursed by someone who you have wronged in some way (called Lycaeonia curse), being bitten by a werewolf, and being born to a werewolf. In each case, the blood becomes tainted or cursed.

DAMNATION:

A person who becomes a werewolf against his will (birth, curse, or bite) is not completely damned until he tastes of human blood. Once he does, his soul is eternally damned and nothing may redeem him. Even without tasting of human blood, however, as long as the taint lays upon the immortal soul, it cannot enter Heaven, and will remain chained to the mortal plane upon death.

WEREWOLF PACKS:

Like real wolves, werewolves can live alone for many years, yet the instinct for a pack often leads them away from their secretive lifestyle, into revealing their nature to a priest or close associate, or converting another to werewolfry for companionship. This is when the otherwise cagey werewolf opens himself to dection! Werewolf packs cause immense destruction. A pack consists of one werewolf who became a werewolf through sorcery, birth, or curse - in other words, his is the original tainted blood. This werewolf is called the Alpha werewolf. The remaining werewolves in the pack are called Beta werewolves because they became werewolves through the bite of the Alpha and carry the Alpha's tainted blood.

ALPHA & BETA WEREWOLVES:

The relationship between Alpha and Beta werewolves is a complex one. Once a subject is bitten by a werewolf, his or her life and death are doomed to the werewolf curse. The victim does, however, have some hope - as long as they themselves do not taste of human blood, the curse is reversible. If the Alpha werewolf is killed - through some action of the Beta - the Beta's curse is broken. It is important to note that whether the Beta werewolf was bitten by the Alpha werewolf himself or by another Beta, it is the Alpha who must be destroyed - the source of the original tainted blood. It is also an interesting note that since Betas and Alphas share common blood, an Alpha cannot physically harm a Beta of his own bloodline by his own hans without inflicting the same injury upon himself. However, if a Beta is harmed or killed by another, it does not affect the Alpha.

SYMPTOMS OF WEREWOLFRY:

When hunting for a werewolf it is important to remember that your biggest clues will come through your suspects personalities. Becoming a werewolf is not transparent, no matter how the victim tries to hide it. The tainted, sub-human blood appearence. Therefore, look for symptoms in your human suspects that include increasing violence, increasing aggression, unprovoked rages, insomnia, restlessness, and other bizarre behavior. Unfortunately, over time these symptoms can be brought under control, so do not rely on them exclusively

In human form they had bushy eyebrows that met over the bridge of the nose; blood red fingernails were long and Almond shaped. Their mouth and eyes were always dry and they were often thirsty. Ears were long and narrow, laid back on their heads. Their skin was rough, scratched and hairy. It often had a yellowish, pinkish or greenish cast. In addition to such physical features, the werewolf also displayed certain psychological traits.

a male-volent form has already begun to reveal itself. He feels as if his own body is changing, growing hairier, his nails lengthening into claws its glow-in-the-dark yellow eyes, its hunting ability, its silent walking, and its nocturnal activity. Thirst, changes in blood pressure and heart rate, tingling in the extremities and confusion

There are different types of werewolves and each type has slightly different characteristics, but most of these abilities will be true for all manner of werewolves.

In human form a werewolf is extremely vulnerable. They still have werewolf powers but they are greatly diminished in human form. A werewolf in human form would operate just like any other human being. Newly infected individuals may not even be aware that they have been infected or experienced their first shape shift. Although infected with the werewolf curse many individuals will continue living the same life - conducting the same daily routines.

The transformed humanoid werewolves are enormous supernatural creature. These werewolves are normally two to three times the size of the average human man. They are physically very muscular and range from 7 to 9 feet tall. A true version of this creature would look like a man-wolf combination with thick animal fur covering most if its massive body. The fur color and texture range from shades of brown, gray, blond and even pure white. Werewolves would be classified as carnivores (meat eaters). Not sure that there are too many vegetarian werewolves due to their predatory nature and animal metabolism.

Werewolves are extremely powerful and have remarkable fighting / killing abilities with excellent agility and endurance. The most dangerous attacks from a werewolf will come directly from the fangs and claws. In many legends a werewolf could bite or tear a person's head off in one quick attack. Like any other type of animal the teeth and claws are designed for efficiently shredding the flesh of their prey. Werewolves savagely attack with a feral insanity - this type of wild rage was also seen in human warriors like the Norse berserkers.

Legends indicate that werewolves have special regenerative abilities, which let them heal very quickly from even the most severe wounds. This rapid healing ability also seems to have a slowing effect on the ageing process of the werewolf. A full-grown werewolf will not age as fast as a normal human being. A werewolf can die from old age, but that could equal several human lifetimes.

Legends state that the werewolf has enhanced senses. A werewolf can see very well in the dark to a point where it seems that they have a type of infra-vision allowing them to see and focus in total darkness. Like most animals werewolves have an advance sense of smell. A werewolf can quickly track a target for miles based on a minor scent. The same goes for hearing. A werewolf has exceptional hearing abilities. Basically, it is near impossible to hide from a werewolf - if they want to find you then you are found. The advanced senses may also be in effect when the werewolf is in human form.

Despite the great abilities of a werewolf they are not completely impervious to injury or death. Werewolves do have weaknesses. Werewolves seem to be "allergic" to pure silver. Any weapon made of silver will inflict serious damage to a werewolf and can even kill it. Removing the werewolf's head or heart will also stop a werewolf. The werewolf will regenerate almost any other types of superficial flesh wounds.

There are many legends were werewolves are not mindless killers. Many werewolves while having all the characteristics described in this section can be reasoned with and talked to just like any real person. Werewolves are believed in many cultures to hold magical secrets and other unknown information. There are stories of people seeking out werewolves to make deals or obtain knowledge.

Werewolves are believed to be primal creatures. Many werewolves travel like nomads, but others will be led by their natural wolf instincts to seek out and join a werewolf pack. Legends maintain that werewolf packs roamed the lands and wildness hunting and hiding from mankind. A pack would provide safety, friendship and even love. It is thought that when two werewolves (male/female) mate that they have a human like child with naturally born werewolf abilities. These children grow up to be much stronger werewolves than those who were born human and later transformed into a werewolf. It is believed that most werewolf dens consist of the same werewolf bloodline. It is also believed that werewolf packs are more dangerous to nearby human societies. Animals in a pack tend to increase their levels of violence and show less fear toward their enemies. Imagine the difference between facing one single werewolf and facing a dozen werewolves.

Of note is the fact that the creature had a strange method of killing, often ignoring the usual areas targeted by predators (legs and throat to incapacitate and kill, respectively) and going for the head, crushing it before feeding.

The dynamics of the man/beast are attractive, basically because of its dark implications of sexuality and savagery. Also because of its sense  of transformation. The idea of an ordinary man writhing in pain and turning into a wolf is in a way analogous to a catepillar turning into a butterfly. The only difference is that the change/transformation is very overt, very physical, whereas the caterpillar goes through a more internal process. The sight of hands rippling into claws, the body twisted and contorted by the wracking pain, are all very visceral. Not many people like watching the transformation sequence. The man or woman is racked beyond ordinary suffering; he or she screams in agony as his or her entire body is turned inside out. The end result sees a very different creature. The transformation is over. The werewolf is born.

Yet, the werewolf also symbolizes rampant sexuality. The Beast is untamed, a savage creature attuned to the much baser instincts like Lust, Need, Hunger ang Rage. The werewolf is the antithesis of civilization.

HPL Werewolves

Mk, I'm okay with slightly heightened senses, nothing like being able to smell someone coming a mile away though, changing at will I am not okay with as it's not that way in the books, it's only once a month otherwise Fenrir would have been a werewolf at the battle of Hogwarts and Bill would now be one and neither were/are.

Immortality//looking younger. Remus ages, quite badly, and Fenrir's no beauty queen either, if anything, transforming once month is going to take it out of the human form more than it is going to help it and as for their mind, well Fenrir had to plant himself next to his target so that he could get it, a werewolves mind unless accompanied by animals like Remus is once a month now, is completely werewolf and savage.

You have done quite a bit of research on this Jamesy and it's very impressive, but we're trying to stick as canonly to the book as sort of possible, giving a few exceptions here and there, like the age of the Black Sisters, but when it comes to werewolves, vampires and creatures we're putting our foot down and saying it has to be canon.

[peterr]

However in the movie he is not the size and looks of a normal wolf. There are a LOT of deviations and facts left out probably cause like James' parents they weren't important.

Easy answer: The movies suck! Harry is also supposed to have black hair and green eyes... xD

And I also agree with Tasha on the age thing. Remus definitely gets older... he's got greyish hair and everything, doesn't he?
No offense, because I'm sure that's not where you got it from, but the whole transforming at will kind of sounds like a Twilight thing........ and Twilight should not exist... at all...... grrr

But yes, the research is good, and I really really don't know much about werewolves, but like Tasha said; we're trying to stay canon.

[darius]

humm... ok

will have to rethink this charrie ...
probably will not be playing him ....


will let you know my decision in a few days
