intense, serious, dedicated, proud. As far as he's concerned, Hakira is a pack and he is that pack's breeding male. there is a wrinkle thrown into this by the fact that he doesn't have a mate or any whelps and therefore has no right to claim such a position. he's the main hunter and gatherer, which means he's primarily responsible for coordinating the food supplies-- a job he takes very seriously. he knows a lot about nutrition science and also tends to organize trade deals with other colonies for practical resources. in short, he DOES do the jobs of a leader, which is probably why nobody particularly contests him.

in true breeding male fashion, he is very protective of the members of the colony, especially the whelps. he doesn't deal well with disrespect or bad attitudes, especially from strangers.
