Birthplace - Gevaudan, France (now modern day Lozere)
Birth year - 1760

Age - 7 years as a mortal, centuries in heaven
Breed - Unknown, generally accepted as a Beauceron/Wolf mix.

Current Mate - None (You can make him a crush, but I won't accept any "OMGZZ CAN (blank) BE HIS MATE" unless your profile is good.)
Offspring - Dimitri and Cybil (products of a casual romance when he was sent to earth on a mission.)
Personality - Gevaudan is generally lighthearted, cracking jokes even if it offends others. He is slightly judgmental, particularly of hunting dogs and hounds. He is a bit colder to these types of dogs than others, but he is trustworthy and will see every assignment to the end. He is persistant and takes promises seriously.
History - Gevaudan was born into a pack of larger than normal wolves and wolfdogs. Gevaudan drew the short straw and stayed the normal size of a wolf. He was doubted because of his size, but in rabbit hunts he proved capable. He fell for a Basque Shepherd named Mirabelle. He would sneak off to meet her on her owner's farm, and she shared with him a terrible rumor; that his pack didn't stop at stealing sheep; they also hunted people, particularly children that tended to their parent's flocks. Gevaudan, horrified by this allegation, confronted his leader, who laughed in his face for being in the dark and taking so long to figure it out.
To test his manliness and worth, he was told to go hunt a child watching a flock. Gevaudan flat out refused. Even when threatened with being exhiled to die, he held fast to his stance; he would not do something that discipable. The pack lived up to their threat and exhiled him. After saying goodbye to Mirabelle and promising to return when it was safe, he ran into the woods to set out on his own. He didn't last long.
Starved and disoriented after being unable to catch prey alone, he wandered straight into the King's hired hunters. He was too weak to flee and was shot.
He was admitted into Heaven due to his bravery in standing up for the right thing, even if it meant sealing his own fate.
He wants to return to earth permenantly and start a new life, but because of his strange tail he wouldn't escape detection and he hasn't done anything extraordinary to warrant a second chance, but he's always looking for an opportunity.

Other - Gevaudan is based off of a mythical creature called Le Bete du Gevaudan (The Beast of Gevaudan.)

I love Gevaudan. The only ADGTH fan character I actually like so far.
xD (I also love where his name is derived from < 3 Not so many people seem to know about The Beast of Gevaudan.) |
There needs to be more cryptid love in general. Beast of Gevaudan is a good start!
