Rowan

Rowan is the bastard-born son of the last true king of Cruth-Atharraich. He was born to a prostitute who was murdered early on, so he never learned of his father. Unfortunately, the current king of Cruth-Atharraich views him as a threat to his rule (as many would argue a bastard-born Therian royal sitting on the throne is better than any human king), and so he has sent out agents to try and find him and kill him. One such agent was Cornelia.

He is 23 at the time the story begins, and is a feline Therian working on the docks to make his wages. He is generally a good person, uninvolved in gangs and the like, but he does visit a whore (Cornelia) on a regular basis to satisfy his needs.

He grew up in the slums as an orphan after his mother's death, and he can't remember much that happened before he was 11 years old -- it all seems like a blur. He is intelligent, but he has a very bad temper and tends to make bad decisions.
