A young coyote hunter, Tethen Lightpawed is one of Lord Malta Guilliame's chief huntsmen, and after accompanying his liege lord to the Siege of Falconpoint has found himself caught up in a brutal war between the Free Canids of the Wolf Lands and the tyrannical Dark Lord Fenrir Stormclaw and his armies of darkness.

Tethen is also caught in a bitter rivalry between himself and the young, sadistic Ramsey Morkai, a coyote who grew up with Tethen as a brother, but became cruel and twisted after an unfortunate archery accident left the young Ramsey lame in the right arm. Now Ramsey has been adopted by Lord Damien Morkai, and armed with power, authority, and a bloody taste for flaying men and women alive, is seeking revenge on young Tethen.

Tethen Lightpawed is one of the player characters in my current campaign of The Shadow of the Dog Lord Anthropomorphic Fantasy Roleplaying Game. He is played by [icon]artful-dodger[/icon] . This is a redesigned outfit for him (now he has armor and weapons :-o ), which fits the second act of the game, which is darker and grittier, playing into the themes of war and betrayal.
