Screen name:

Born and raised in South Africa on a ranch/estate worth millions, the man lived between a silver-spoon and learning the wild ways of an untamed world.  Days were mixed between lounging outside the in-ground pool in a world where clean water was worth twice the price of gold, and week long adventures through the jungle with his father and uncles.

It wasn't until his 17th birthday that the silver spoon melted in his mouth, and left him scarred forever.  A government upheaval and a stubborn family that 'thought' they possessed the means and security to keep themselves safe were sadly mistaken.  A seventy-two hour fire-fight unleashing hell on their little cut of heaven in hell.

Some said only one boy survived, but nothing that had been on that estate that first morning had made it.  Hugh forever something different after being forced to bear witness to the execution of every blood-relative he knew, and things much worse. Things he never spoke about.

A business partner of the Crowne's arose as the hero at the end of it all. Despite the psychiatrist's medical opinion to send the boy off for therapy, this unknown benefactor sent guardians necessary to let the boy remain.  The estate re-built, the Crowne's industry returned to full operations, and mentors brought to tell Hugh the way of things.

Discovered that the people who murdered his family were monsters, but human ones. That real monsters had sent them there in the first place to uncover secret relics held by his family.  And his family?  Hunters.  An ancient bloodline that for a hundred years had scoured over the lands of Africa, led by an ancient code and alliance, purging those that aimed to upset the balance.

The next six years were spent with a variety of mentors to train both mind and body, between martial arts and weaponry training, and not to mention those who showed him the types of things that he would need to confront in the future.

It wasn't until his late twenties that he went on a hunt for a pride of lycans that had been prowling the Savannah's outside of Nairobi. A kill-team of himself and four others, he was the lone survivor, but again... he wasn't the same as when he went in.  This time though, he had become the monster that he hunted.

For days he considered eating his own rifle, but it was in this gloom that again his benefactor came to his aid. A man who also was inflicted with the same disease, a were-lion, that showed Hugh what was required and how to keep himself in check.  Even an offer to join the pride, but the nomadic South African chose a solo act. 

Seven years later though, and he had found a pride of his own. A small group of seven other were-cats that live on the estate with him. Hugh is head of the pride and continues to run the family business, both of them, with aid from the man the faceless man that had been there is whole life. In addition to the 'cattle ranch' that brings in the real money, he also works as a 'Security Advisor' to the other local ranches/estates. And has even on occasion worked beyond the scope of South Africa, enlisting a small tactical team.

Now, he is in England, and away from all of the resources of his pride and employees. Called into service by the faceless man, and waiting till his receives his next orders.
