#canin

He was kidnapped from the Bard College of Lucy'ne by a secret fraternity of Whispers Bards, who secretly worship evil gods (such as Jack) and make pacts with powerful otherworldly entities.

Canin was an unfortunate victim of an attempt to turn other students into animals, and he was polymorphed into a wolf by a polymorph potion that would keep one polymorphed for 24 hours. In accordance with my personal canon that I don't think is reflective of anything else besides 1-2 5e spells, if you keep a spell continuously active for 101 days, the effects of the spell become permanant. Luckily the party managed to save Canin from that fate, but not all of the other students were as lucky.

He ended up alright, but he retained a couple of wolfish characteristics such as the hair color, pronounced teeth, and dark circles around his eyes. As a high elf- he traditionally views appearances and their standing in society as very important- he worried that his old friends,also high elves, would judge him for his new unusual appearance, odd habits, as well as for how behind he is in his studies and the challenges that would arise from his reappearance.
