Known among the Hyleks as "Cuetlachtli", the Wolf, his existence has been considered a myth for decades. Until the Durmand Priory sent me to investigate the recent sightings around Krytia. "He was there, watching me from the canopy, so I ran..."I saw a chariot shrouded in black wandering the marsh with his dead servants, and when I raised my torch it has disappeared". It sounded like some fancy scary story you tell around a good'ol fire. I couldn't have been be more mistaken. I decided to spend a day or two in a marsh close to the Zinlt territory. At night I looked inside of what appeared to be a dead tree, and for a second I felt a presence looking back. Later, I heard him, scratching some herbs around. Then I started to smell him, reeking of humus and decay. Finally... I SAW him. His face hidden under a hood and his fangs, as long as daggers, gleaming under the moonlight. His only eye was shrouded in a white veil, drawing inexorably my sight as I tried to escape his cold grasp. I ran as fast as I could, his claws hammering the ground right behind me. I ran until my legs stopped, collapsing in the middle of the woods. The next morning, I thought that I made it. That I escaped. I needed to tell what I saw this night. It was 3 days ago. Now I can't stop seeing his face. It can be in the canopy above. It can be the wind waving the tall grass. No matter the time, no matter the place, his face keeps getting closer and closer. I need to disappear, before it catches up to me. If you find this note, bury this case as deep as you can. Don't follow my footsteps. Remember : "Once his spell he cast, there's no escape the Wolf in the Hollow Shaft". - Note found where a Priory investigator hung himself -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the latest look I pulled on my charr necromancer. I was thinking for quite a long time to do a marsh-inspired look, but I couldn't really find something fitting. Then I came up with the idea of a "shaman" thingy roaming the marshes on Hylek grounds and...the Wolf story just hit me and my mind went kaboom while trying to find a cool bio. I really like the combo of caustic dye with the greyish stuff like graphite or glacial teal dye, so I thought I'd keep it in here. Plus I really have trouble to put a dark main dye with caustic as a secondary (like what Hylek pulled out on his Dark Druid Necromancer : http://gw2style.com/look.php?id=6151), most of the time it doesn't match at all and looks like shit. Hope you'll enjoy :D Some will say it's quite similar to my older stuff, that's absolutely true. And the reason's simple : I only have this character. I don't play much and I'm really investing into one char at a time, so I never had the courage to create, level and fashion an alt. Someday though !
