Alfarr Lorelei

, also known as The First Wolf, was a nobleman and a member of the Lorelei family. He was mentioned by Liam O'Brien in.

Personality
Alfarr was a persistent man, who, despite being near madness after becoming a werewolf, endured the experience and kept his sanity.

Background
The Lorelei family was granted noble status during the Marrow War for their service in that conflict. They were provided with the land upon which they built Castle Lorelei.

Towards the end of the war, Alfarr Lorelei was bitten and cursed with lycanthropy, and he was able to resist the madness that often comes with such a curse. He passed his lycanthropy on to his daughter, Grenya, who was similarly able to maintain her sanity. Over time, the Lorelei family created a ritual known as "The Taming" to help control the inner beast and to channel their powers for good; while some have failed and succumbed, overall the Loreleis have been successful in responsibly wielding their abilities.

When Alfarr died, he was buried in the Lorelei mausoleum, where a small monument was built for him.

Trivia

 * His name is a variant of the Old Norse Alfgeirr, that can be translated as "Elven spear" or "Elf skilled with the spear".
 * It is possible that the name is also a reference to "alpha", the Greek letter to refer to the wolf that leads a wolf pack. While the theories about alpha behaviour in wolves are actually debunked, the general figure is still associated to the elder wolf, whoever is the parent of the younger members of the group (which, in a way, could still be compared with Alfarr's position as the first lycanthrope Lorelei).
