Blake Cortland

Personality
Blake is rather self-centered. He focuses on his problems, on the things that directly impact him. Anything else is just background noise. This isn’t to say he’s entirely egocentric, though. His pack is the most important thing to him. He puts them before himself, although he wouldn’t ever admit it.

Blake knows the way he takes charge of things can be considered cold, but he means the best. He believes strict leadership is the best method. This could be because of his formal yet harsh upbringing, but he can't help it. It's in his nature to be stiff.

Backstory
Blake was born into a wealthy family. His parents were very harsh on him, expecting things out of him that were nearly impossible to accomplish. Still, he met every single one of their expectations if only with some struggle.

From that point onward he gained a grimmer outlook on life. There was no fun to be had when he was stuck indoors studying all day. He decided when he was older that he wouldn't ever let restrictions hold him down ever again.

Leaving his family, Blake traveled to Ithawell. There, he found his niche, living amongst fellow purebloods. It wasn't enough, though. Part of his upbringing still held him down, forcing all sorts of stipulations upon him. Blake struggled to enjoy anything. He was emotionless. Determined to not let others fail to realize the joy of hunting, he held himself responsible to teach his fellow purebloods.

Through the years, he began to get a bit more of the thrill. It was as if the emotions he thought he'd lost long ago were returning to him. He started holding competitions, games of sport where hunters would free the prey they caught only to catch them all back up again. Whoever did it the fastest got an extra meal.

Blake is currently in a high, mad with the power he's obtained and determined to resist any steps backward for his pack.
