The First Generation of Argyris'

These members of the Argyris family hail from Asphodel Meadows; they are Barak and Athena's first litter, born on January 10th, 2008.

The First Litter (2008)

---

	Phineas Argyris
	Phineas was the eldest and the starkest white of his litter, while his siblings remained a mix of silvers and browns, much like their mother. In the wake of his parents' deaths, Phineas, as a true first-born, took charge of the pack but it would not be without consequence. Though he had challenged his brothers for their father's place, he found himself heartbroken when the woman he had taken up as a mate, Desdemona, was found in his best friend's embrace. He found refuge in Relic Lore, quickly becoming a legend in his own right. He founded Magnolia Glen and later Silent Moon Plateau, and sired a total of six children. Phineas passed of a heart attack on December 8th in 2015, marking the disbandment of the Plateau pack and the final scattering of his family.
	Aeolus Argyris
	While not much is known about Aeolus, it has been noted that he was able to successfully follow his brothers Phineas and Thanos away from Asphodel Meadows and into the realm of Relic Lore. Joining Pitch Pine Trail, at first, he secured a place for himself - as well as a source of food, water, and shelter - before he was able to venture out in search of his siblings. Meeting with Phineas, Aeolus found that he ultimately felt bitter towards him and resented what Phineas had done - walked out on the only family, his very own brothers, he had left. Aeolus left, helping the wolves of Pitch Pine Trail before the pack eventually disbanded upon its Leader's death. He has since vanished from the Lore, and his fate is unknown.
	Erebos Argyris
	Erebos, who sports a silvery pelt that separates himself from his siblings, is a large, yet lanky brute of a wolf. He is confident but unreliable, and selfish but adaptable to a changing environment with a good sense on how to make the most out of a variety of resources. He is said to have a characteristically charming, lopsided smirk that can usually be found on his grayscale face. He was never truly able to shake off his resentment of Phineas, though he tried to make peace in their sunset years, even leading Silent Moon Plateau for a time in his brother's stead. On June 9th of 2016, he passed from poisoning of {Broken Timber Pine}'s caches by Eek, leaving behind his estranged wife and children.
	Thanos Argyris
	Thanos was apparently born into an 'all boys club,' a litter of four males who grew to possess large, stocky builds. Thanos, it turned out, was the only medium sized male of his litter. This didn't bother him as a cub, but the older he got the more it seemed to agitate him. Everyone he came across seemed to be bigger than him - his father, his brothers, and even other pack and family members. For years he kept to himself, simply rolling with the punches and dealing with life as it went on, but after his brother Phineas just got up and left in the night Thanos felt confused and abandoned. Answers soon came to light when Thanos realized that the cubs born to Desdemona were not Phineas'. Without a second thought Thanos, too, left the pack in search of his missing sibling, determined to find him and serve a pack with a higher sense of morality. Considered the brother of softest, and most pliable, heart, Thanos spent his time in Lore pulled between his family and eventually vanished from the area altogether. His fate is unknown.

	Desdemona Rovic (Ex-Mate to Phineas)
	Best known for the treachery that she put Phineas through, Desdemona has been described as manipulative, heartless and damaged. Her fate is unknown.
	Borlla Tainn-Argyris (Ex-Mate to Phineas)
	Born on May 23rd, 2010, to Rihael Tainn & Lani Ithil, Borlla's childhood was a mess to say the least. A terrible wildfire killed her parents and destroyed her home within Hidden Tree in Relic Lore. She was constantly disobedient and stubborn, and her bouts of wanderlust commonly brought her far away from her homelands and into realms unknown. After a string of events that had her both coming and going, she soon came upon Phineas, who was affiliated with Willow Ridge at the time. Initially dismissing his offer to join him within Elettra's pack, the duo were destined to meet again and in the heat of chance encounter, she and Phineas agreed to abandon the pieces of their previous lives and start anew. As the Leaders of Magnolia Glen on the eastern side of Relic Lore, their pack thrived to see two healthy litters, but it would seem that the death of her first-born son Kyros paired with the irresistible beckoning of the wilderness beyond Relic Lore would call her away from her pack and family yet again, leaving her fate unknown.
	Aponi Donata (Lover to Phineas)
	The smallest and youngest of the litter, Aponi was as dark as her sister Nova was at birth, but silvered as she aged, resembling her Aunts Volkan and Aniu. In inheriting the Aquila blue-grey eyes, she is a shapely wolf of perfect proportions in comparison to her more awkward older sister. She is a poised and balanced creature, once capable of moving effortlessly across the mountainous terrain of her home. Possessing airs and graces, Aponi is every inch the princess in her parents' presence; but, once their backs are turned, she is liable to morph into something much darker - with a mean streak to rival her older brother Datura. In a matter of time Aponi became to be a wolf best not crossed, often fixating on some injustice (real or imagined), being just as stubborn as her mother Naira and as resourceful as her father Rhysis. She seduced Phineas and gave birth to their only daughter Kyna. Soon after, she worked her way up the ranks of Silent Moon Plateau to gain leadership by murdering Aesire, only to disappear shortly after. Upon her return, she was only reunited with Phineas for mere moment before he passed of a heart attack. Currently, Aponi is the mate to Serach and alpha of Oak Tree Bend.
	Delia D'astrous-Argyris (Mate to Erebos)
	Before Erebos Argyris tripped into her life, Delia was thoroughly untamed. Seductive and mischievous, she allowed no inhibitions to spoil her fun and spent many a wild night in the arms of strangers, racing over rock faces and tangling with prey far larger than she. Despite her indomitable spirit and sharp tongue, however, the woman always possessed a heart of gold, causing her to be treasured by her pack. When the man who gifted her with such beautiful twin children came along, she fell deeply into love, an emotion that had before been unknown to her. The sudden thrusting into motherhood worked its magic in calming her, subtly shifting her from nightcrawler to doting keeper. The passionate flame that had previously consumed her still burned, but she kept it buried deep away from her children’s eyes. For them, she was determined to be the perfect role model. Then Erebos disappeared, and soon after so did her children, in search of him. They were her heart, and so she followed them to the Lore, eventually reunited with her estranged lover and the twins. It wasn't long until he was taken by death, however, and soon after the man's small family vanished from the Lore altogether.

The Second Generation of Argyris'

Most of these members of the Argyris family were born and raised within the eastern reaches of Relic Lore, sired by Phineas within Magnolia Glen and, later, along the heights of Silent Moon Plateau.

Phineas and Borlla's First Litter (2013)

---

	Kyros Argyris-Tainn
	Due to an accidental hoof to the stomach his mother sustained while carrying him and his sister, Kyros was born with an absent forelimb. Though he tried to ignore this difference between himself and the other wolves in Magnolia Glen, it deeply impacted the development of his personality. He always felt as if he had something to prove, something to make up for. Guilt was also a huge part of Kyros' emotional landscape, and he always wrestled with the feeling he was a disappointment to his parents that he longed to be loved by. The harsh winter of 2014 was especially hard on the young boy, and in the end at the age of 8.5 months old he died of frostbite out on the cold slopes of the Sierra Hills. He was laid to rest by mother and father.
	Hypatia Argyris
	Hypatia is Phineas and Borlla's second-born cub and first-born daughter. Unlike her age-mate brother and her younger siblings, she takes after her uncles Thanos and Aeolus and most of her mother's immediate family with an agouti coat. She does, however, bear the characteristic Argyris eyes, her own pair being a bright orange like her father's. After the death of her brother Kyros and the disappearance of her mother, Hypatia has made a duty out of caring for her younger brother and sisters. A caring soul with a warm and considerate heart, Hypatia is nothing short of what an Argyris truly is. Currently she is outside of the Lore, and her condition is unknown.

	Evy Argyris
	It goes without saying that Evy Argyris stands out against her pale-pelted sisters and brother. The eldest of Phineas and Borlla's second litter, she is the quietest of her siblings. While her robust build and fiery orange eyes undoubtedly come from her father, her stark black coat is a nod to her mother's side of the family, where her coat echoes that of her Uncles Triell and Hotei, and Aunt Junai. She is an observer by nature, somewhat shy and slow to approach, but once her trust is gained, she offers it wholeheartedly. Currently she is outside of the Lore, and her condition is unknown.
	Takis Argyris
	Second born to the litter. Takis is a near mirror image to his father and because of this he feels it is a certain duty of his to make his parents proud. Adventurous and busy, Takis is often caught wandering a little too close to the borders a little too often. Currently he is outside of the Lore, and his condition is unknown.
	Celandine Argyris
	The third and last born in the litter. Celandine has a pristine coat of white with bright amber eyes. Considering herself the princess to the Glen, she often believes herself to be above the law set by her parents and pack and is quite the mischievous imp. This start lays the groundwork for her to grow into a cynical but clever woman. Having found a close friend in Morganna and taken in the orphaned Maeve, she was unable to inherit her father's legacy but now securely leads Pookastone Scowle.

Kyna Argyris Archer

With a pelt of spun honey, Kyna's appearance is a perfect blend of the Argyris and Aquila clans, though one would not know it when looking at her parents. Creamy ivory paints along her underside and muzzle. While her pelt is a myriad of warm hues, her most striking marking is the rich cinnamon that weaves its way from her forehead to her shoulders in the form of a stripe. Graceful and lithe, Kyna exceeds the size of many females and takes after the large size of her father, though maintains her willowy nature. The true sign that Phineas is her father rests in her eyes -- which blaze the same fiery hue as his own. Despite the trauma of watching her father die, Kyna has grown strong and carved out a place for herself next to her mate Greer on top of the mountains that she had grown up loving. She leads AURORA HEIGHTS with a firm paw, and her father's legacy lives on in her daughter Revon.

	Sköll Archer (Mate to Celandine)
	Sleek, pitch black fur with just a touch of white on his muzzle and chest. Very lanky and tall in stature with gangly and willow-like limbs. Also has a leathery nose, characteristically striking gray eyes, and two large, black and pointy ears. Has two long scars that have long since healed over; the fur has grown back but in a startling silver color; these start at the bridge of his muzzle and snake over to the left side of his face and over his left eye. The right side of his face remains unscathed.
	Greer Archer-Lyall (Mate to Kyna)
	There is a strange – almost uncomfortable – air that surrounds him, as he very rarely shows any sort of emotion. He is void, aloof, and distant, yet fiercely loyal toward his family. He will do whatever necessary to protect them, but prefers to remain on his own. Greer shies away from the spotlight, and prefers to go by unnoticed, slinking in the shadows that birthed him. Cold and indifferent, it’s near impossible to warm up to the withdrawn Archer; he does not want to make friends and feels as though he does not need them. When he does actually speak, Greer has a very calm demeanor although his tongue can be sharp at times. He prefers to avoid conflict, and would rather observe situations than get involved. Despite all this, he managed to befriend Kyna and over time, the two realized that what they felt for each other was love. Dedicating themselves to one another, they formed the pack Aurora Heights where they both currently lead.

Revon Argyris Archer

Expected to be calm and quiet like her parents, Revon was born the complete opposite. She is the Archer firecracker, running her mouth and filled with endless energy, leaving both Greer and Kyna confused as to where it all came from. Her curiosity will get her into trouble more often than not, but she is not reckless. Like her father, she is cunning and calculative: she assesses her situations before reacting (aka exploding). She knows what she wants and when she wants it, and is not afraid to do what it takes to get it. As she grows her flame will dim and she will grow more collected—thinking more as opposed to reacting—but she will still hold onto her fiery spirit. Sly, manipulative, and devious are words best to describe Revon as she grows into adulthood.

	Vindlys Argyris
	The brooding one.
	Capra Argyris Archer
	Capra was born alongside his two brothers on May 15th, 2018 in AURORA HEIGHTS in the heart of Relic Lore.
	Lance Argyris Archer
	Dorky && Sensitive; and all the words coinciding. Lance has ultimately become what most would call negative nancy when in dire situations. He leans far closer to being submissive than he does to being dominant and certainly ranges on being far more emotional than your average guy. Lance does what he believes his right and he strays far from lying, ultimately believing that the truth will always set you free. Lance has a difficult time with anything that could result in being classified as "bad" or "in trouble", yet he always seems to be right in the middle of all of it.

	Anduin Archer
	Even though Anduin will possess the airs and graces of a prince, he'd find such a title.. unsavory. While his ambitions will almost certainly drive him to the top, he'd rather pull strings behind the scenes. His loyalty lies with those he deems worthy, but once it's given, he'll be hard pressed to take it back. A little eccentric, the boy will be prone to bouts of intrigue, and fancy that his friends, and family might not understand.
	Vaeda Archer
	With proud parentage Vaeda has been blessed with an impressive appearance, her coat a mixture of red, cream, grey and white. Her silver eyes speak of her Archer blood, but it might take one a while to make the connection as the girl prefers not to make eye contact. Falling dead-even in the middle size range her physique is perfectly average when she stands at full height, a rare occurrence. Overall, Vaeda appears smaller than she actually is.

	Vanadís
	Vanadis, Sawyer, and their siblings were ushered into the world deep in the lichen-covered forests on the outskirts of Loch ???. Though they were the second litter born to Celandine Argyris and Skoll Archer, they were the first born outside of Relic-Lore. Their parents settled, and laid claim to the untouched lands, beckoning in a new era for their growing family.
	Sawyer Argyris Archer
	Tucked away in the moss-covered boulders and lichen-covered trees, Sawyer and his littermates were born into a world of new possibilities and ushered in the golden era of his parents' newfound reign as they established Lichenstone Loch. Here, the descendants of Elettra Archer and the Archer clan of the kingdom of Torbine, finally regained their footing. Prey was plentiful, water and other valuable materials were fresh and abundant, and the seasons continually turned in a cycle of loss/gain and hardship/prosperity. For Sawyer Argyris Archer, the Loch was a well-guarded safe haven and playground for the resource-rich and privileged. The moment his sister Vanadis was able to leave their familial pack, Sawyer decided for himself that he was going to follow suit. He wanted what his adventuring sister was after.

	Viorel Valle (Mate to Vanadis)
	Heir to a prestigious name of his own, Viorel and his relatives were relocated to Relic Lore and scattered by humans. With Vanadis' help, he gathered most of the lost members and founded the pack Dead Empress Backwater, which still stands strong under his leadership.

	Eros Valle
	Alongside a myriad of siblings and other relatives, Eros was raised with love and perhaps a little more freedom than most pups his age are given. Since entering his 'teens' he has begun to realize just how complicated adults and their lives can be. While he still loves each of his family members, he's begun to question if he belongs somewhere outside of the Backwater.
	Archer Valle
	Once incredibly loyal to his littermate and father, Archer has renounced the name of Valle and grown bitter and moody. His old self only shows through with Ally.

	Sephrina Valle
	Sephrina was born with weak eyes and a penchant for envy. She was babied by her parents, but this didn't save her from drowning to death after falling through ice on the annual pup exchange with Sanguine Cove.
	Nix Valle
	Nix had a habit of getting lost. At one point, he had joined Paradise Falls under the care of Reika, but has since disappeared from the Lore completely.
	Isla Valle
	Born to the once-mated pair of Viorel and Vanadis of Dead Empress Backwater as the last born triplet. Isla proved mildly troublesome from the start, but as time went on it only escalated. Most notably was the death of her sister, Sephrina, that seemed to be the final straw in her descent. After witnessing the death, Isla has become excessively violent and cruel to even those she might claim to love. She has seemingly struggled to stay rooted anywhere long after the loss as well. Briefly she returned home only to drift away once more, feeling dislodged and angry with her place.

	Kateri Vuesain-Slayer (Mate to Archer)
	Born of a fling between her parents in Sanguine Cove, Kateri felt displaced when they both moved on with new mates and resulting children. She chose to run away to Dead Empress Backwater where her friends resided, and from there her and Archer's bond deepened. Their union resulted in their banishment from the pack, and she disappeared shortly after one of the pups grew deathly ill.

	Andy Vuesain
	Andy, named after his grandmother Vanadis, was born frail and became sick early on. His parents tried to save him but could not. He passed away at only a month old.
	Ally Valle
	Ally was named for her grandfather Aleister, and has traveled far and wide with her father in search of a home as they grieve her brother.
