Saguenian Balverine Order

The Saguenian Balverine Order functions as the army of the golden city of Saguenay commanded by Alastor Grienwulf under Reaver.

=What Are Balverines?= Balverines are quite nasty creatures very similar to werewolves, their bitten victims usually turning within a half-hour, but they lack any sort of hindrance to smelted silver; however, burning torches of Silver Nitrate acts as a sort of Balverine-repellant.

In general, Balverines are able to attack with their claws as well as by jumping towards their victim. They are also able to jump high into the air; disappearing for several seconds before landing again, usually behind you. Balverines tend to use short, fast attacks or simply lunge you down. The Balverines of the Saguenian Balverine Order will not bite, unless they are/were given orders to.

There are at least four classes of Balverines.

Lesser Balverines
The Lesser Balverines are the remnants of people bitten but not killed during an attack, and function as the foot-soldiers in the Order. This type of Balverine usually has brown or black fur. They cannot transform, and are stuck as beasts until they are either killed or they age and die.

The exact number of Lesser Balverines in the Order is unknown, though it ranges in the hundreds. Since they cannot transform, they reside deep in Saguenay's Catacombs.

Frost Balverines
The most mysterious of the species, Frost Balverines can withstand incredibly cold temperatures and freeze their opponents. The only example of a Frost Balverine in the Romanov realm is Alastor Grienwulf.

Poison Balverines
Poison Balverines are the failed attempts of turning people into Alpha Balverines, (they still look the same, but with a slight sickly green to their fur), meaning that they were bitten just a bit too soon/late to become an Alpha Balverine. They have a bit more stamina than Lesser Balverines, and their claws secret an agent that is said to make their victims feel like they're drunk.

There are around twenty Poison Balverines in the Order. Like Lesser Balverines, they cannot transform and dwell with their cousins in the Catacombs.

Alpha Balverines
White Balverines, often also called Alpha Balverines, who were bitten and turned at midnight during the course of a Full Moon, and they function as Generals of sorts. The Alpha Balverines are extremely sophisticated and much more powerful than their lesser counterparts. Alpha Balverines can also change form from beast to human at will and are capable of speech, their attractive appearances and golden eyes when in human form make them easy to pick out of a crowd. It is evident that the higher Balverines essentially rule over their lesser cousins, whom they seem to regard as little more than beasts.
