Cole Harrison

Background
Do twins begin at the womb? Or in a better place? For as long as Cole can remember, Andrew had been the other half of him. His twin, his best friend, the only person in the whole world who knew what he was going through, and that was because he was going through it as well. Their father hadn’t started out abusive, no, Cole has memories of his father being a loving kind man, but everything seemed to fade away when their mother ran off with their uncle. At that point, their father turned to drinking and it all went downhill from there. The first time his father struck him, Cole had been seven years old for dropping a plate of food. The next day, his father had hit Andrew so hard in the face that his lip had split and from that moment forward, life wasn’t the same. Despite his efforts to protect Andrew from his father, it wasn’t always enough and that frustrated Cole. He wanted a way to protect himself, and that came in the form of his brother and him becoming werewolves when they reached puberty. Cole tried to rein his anger in but he dimly remembers the night of his fifteenth birthday where he ripped his father apart when Andrew had to be taken to the hospital after collapsing with four broken ribs and a cracked orbital bone. With his father’s blood still tasting fresh in his mouth, Cole broke Andrew out of the hospital the next day after his surgery and the two of them hightailed it out of there, heading south where they eventually came upon the Dark Talon pack.

Personality
Cole’s older now but he hasn’t forgotten what he’s done or what was done to him and Andrew. He’s the troublemaker of the pack, he’s gotten into trouble so many times that it’s a wonder that their alpha hasn’t kicked him out yet. The twins grew up living in fear until the point where Cole didn’t fear anything anymore. He loved his brother, took care of him but he didn’t care what happened to him. He put himself in the way of his father’s rage but he couldn’t always spare Andrew and that kills him inside. Generally keeping quiet about his past, those few lucky enough to get past the extremely thick wall surrounding him, can catch glimpses of the man that he could have been if life had been kinder to him. Intelligent, humorous, kind with a hint of wickedness, Cole could have been the kid in school that everyone liked but unfortunately, life wasn’t kind to him.
