Some concept art for parents of Merdack characters.
In the top picture are Merdack and his siblingsā parents, Halter and Mirian. They had a difficult relationship because Halter had bigger things in his mind than just being a husband and father.
In the middle picture we have Beryl and Amethystās parents, Uniwe and Dar-An, and Uniweās father Centaru. Centaru was a war hero and the head of large pack of midland wolves in Roan, but he was a very demanding and angry father. When Uniwe fell in love with Dar-An, a penniless and lowborn southern wolf, Centaru didnāt accept the relationship, so Uniwe and Dar-An eloped. However, they were very poor and knew that legally their children were the heirs to Centaruās lands and pack, so they sent young Beryl and Amethyst to live with Centaru. Centaru did confirm Beryl as his heir, but he wasnāt a very good parental figure for them either.
Finally thereās Fenrisās parents, Andeira and William. Their marriage was political, but theyāve grown to love and respect each other a lot. Also Andeira is actually really huge compared to William because sheās a mountain wolf and theyāre all ginormous.
