01 — Profile
Lei has 4 swords: three on one side, one on his back.
Lei is polycaudal and has a tail that splits in two, having two stiff blades on each.
Six eyes, three on each side.
02 — Personality
Quiet and somewhat stoic, but not unfriendly. Calm, knows his place. Outward hostility or anger from Leiurus is rare, with his feelinsg beind hidden underneath an unmoving outer shell. Not like he doesn't feel strongly about things- its only that other wolves do not easily notice.
He often comes off fairly intimidating, what with multiple wide eyes and the blades strapped all over his body. Lei, being the first of his rank, is also a fairly strong wolf- so who would actually want to anger him and risk having one of those blades shoved under their pelt? Nobody, even if Lei has no plans of ever doing that to a comrade or friend. And yes- he does consider many of the wolves he knows to be friends, in some manner.
Deep down, Lei is very unhappy with himself and where his life has taken him. He's always felt that he pales in comparison to his now dead half-brother, and wishes that his life was more like theirs- despite his death.

03 — Background
Born as Funnelweb's half brother to two Blades with different variants, leading to the strange hybrid he is. Funnelweb, from a young age, was slated to be one of the town's great heroes- a capable young wolf with a great future. Lei was never meant to be that, a wolf forever in the shadow of his born-loved brother.
But Funnelweb was good to him, like he was to everybody. He was kind, soft, a warrior for the people. Leiurus hated him, oh he felt rage and hate in his heart, but Funnelweb was good to him- and he just couldn't bring himself to do anything with those enraged feelings. He was to be nothing but "the half brother" for the rest of time, unless he ran off and wasn't even that.
And then came Jizan. A wandering wolf, a murderer by action, a wolf smelling of blood and walking with a strange stride- one of power, yet also one of weakness. Funnelweb, hearing of Jizan's crimes in the nearby woods, was tasked to take him down once and for all. And he nearly did, blade to the Abyssal's throat- until Leiurus stepped in.
He, seeing his chance, his only chance- stepped forward, stabbing Funnelweb in the back. Going straight through the heart, Funnelweb soon fell apart.
He felt wrong. He felt strange. He could never go home again, but where would he go? He had killed a wolf who had been good to him, yet was also the source of all his problems in the world. Jizan was thankful, and offered him a place- a place lined with blood, as was his usual fare, but a place. Lei couldn't decline the offer, especially now that he himself had shed family blood.
He, remaining the strongest of Jizan's wolves, is still where he is.
Lei is still not sure what he wants in his life. In some way, he still wishes that he had fought Funnelweb legitimately- even if he doubted he could win that way.
Lei is a Moon mage, being a Dark user that is not inerently a Dark class. This is used alongside his swordwork.
Lei has a small amount of Night blood due to a Night Wolf ancestor. Its not enough to be notable to him, but he does have Night Wolf distant family.
Leader, friend
Jizan has been good to him too. He would consider his leader to also be a friend, even if he doesn't know if Jizan would think the same. He trusts in the Abyssal and is willing to share his woes and worries with him. He is greatly loyal to him, albeit not as strongly to the others. He was here from the start, after all.
half-brother
He was nice. He helped to raise Lei. But he never could make up for the emptiness in his half-brother's heart that led to his demise.
