Jacob Westbrook

Jacob Westbrook appears to all as a wolf, but upon closer examination and interaction; it becomes progressively revealed that initial observations may not be enough to understand what Jacob actually is.

Description
Jacob appears as a young, healthy, and normal wolf that an adventurer could easily encounter in the wild. When comparing him against other wolves, it would be particularly difficult to tell him apart from the others, the primary effect of the curse cast against him.

Jacob has the ability to telepathically speak with others, a mercy shown to him by a stranger who realized his appearance had been forcefully disassociated from his identity.

History
Jacob was born into a household of Druidic Humans located in the docks of Seles. His house worked as laborers of the yard. He had everything he needed to grow up, but not everything he wanted. This drove him to theft.

In his later teenage years, he became more proficient at stealing from within the city, and had begun experimenting with looting from outside the city.

In his early 20s he adventured outside of the city more frequently, finding it to be more lucrative than stealing from the citizens that resided within the city.

Eventually, he set off on his own journey west, to find even more valuable things to bring back to the merchants of Seles.

On what would turn out to be the last day of his journey, Jacob had been exploring an extremely dense forest. Due to the flora and terrain, it was rather difficult for him to explore at first. Being a druid, nature's obstruction was rarely an issue for him. After some thought, the explorer considered a wolf to be the best form to move quickly through the thick brush, and scour the forest for goods. Shaping himself, he left his goods behind, out of sight, to go explore.

While exploring the forest, Jacob managed to come across a village of creatures milling about, performing their own tasks. As he kept his distance, and behaved unassumingly, none of them seemed to pay him any mind.

He has no recollection of the events that followed as he entered the house, the safe-like container that he had found, or the spell that the hag had cast on him. He had tried to steal from the fey, but he had gotten caught. Acting against his trespasses, the fey had elected to steal his humanity - obviously he didn't need it, if he was wandering around people's homes as an animal. He also has no memory of how he ended up in a city only a little south of Seles, with none of his acquired goods. He had gotten particularly greedy, and it certainly had come back to bite him.

House Westbrook
The only individuals with relations to Jacob may be those in the Westbrook House, in the docks of the City of Seles.
