Other (Misc/Aka's/etc...):
	Maurkel likes to use his dwarven alias on many occasions, Maurk 
  Ironrok.  In this form he is a short, muscular dwarf (4'5", between 160 
  and 200 lbs) with long black hair and a curly beard, which he takes 
  great pride in (like any *real* dwarf).  He wears proper dwarven attire, 
  black studded leather armor, large steel toe boots, and a very large 
  steel mace.  He can even hold his own with any dwarf where ale is 
  concerned.

Habits:
	Maurk picked up the habit of smoking somewhere in his travels.  
  He often smokes a sweet, apple smelling tobacco in an intricately carved, 
  mahogany pipe.

Mannerisms:
	Maurkel is a boisterous individual.  He is often well liked and 
is a proficient manipulator.  His human form is rather handsome, as well 
as his dwarven guise, and he often finds his way with women quite easily; 
although, he is not the bit physically attracted to them, for he is a 
wolf, not a (demi)human.

Assassination Signature:
	Wolf claw marks on the cheeks of the victim if permissible.  
Otherwise, wolf paw marks near the site of death.

Notes on Special Abilities and Skills

Maurkel is a wolf with a special ability, psionics.  His primary skill is 
shapeshifting, which he is very proficient at, however, his endurance at 
using this type of skill requires him to rest each night in his true 
form.  Longer durations or multiple changes taxes him much greater, 
forcing him to spend more time as a wolf.

Maurkel's interaction with animals is usually brief, also.  His empathic
abilities are very poor, at best.  He usually tries to calm the animals
down, since they seem to get a little gittery around the scent or
mannerisms of a wolf if he forgets to mask it.  He feels he has little use
for horses or other animals, since he can usually take any form he
chooses. 

Because Maurkel is a wolf, he is an excellent hunter, tracker, and
woodsman.  (Perhaps why he chose a hill dwarf as a guise.)  Ironically, 
still he has little connection to the forest dwellers other than that of 
the hunter and prey.  He always felt his cousin, Prytz, was too concerned 
with the animals when the money was made killing humans.

Maurkel was trained as an assassin, which goes to say he is proficient
with Herbalism, stealth, information gathering, and close hand-to-hand
combat.  

Like Prytzouth, aside from fighting as a wolf, he is most proficient with
one-weapon sword fighting, preferrable with katana.  As any assassin, he
is deadly accurate with daggers both near and far.  Unlike Prytzouth,
Maurkel picked up skill using the mace during his travels.  He uses this
weapon when he takes the form of a hill dwarf by the name of Maurk
Ironrok.

Notes on Maurkel's History and Background

	Maurkel's been a bad boy.  He assassinated his cousin's fiancee', 
and in order to protect himself, he's taken chase to hunt Prytz down.

Current Endeavors

	Maurk is now in pursuit of a foreign dignetary.  Apparently, 
there is a little more to the story than just an assassination, and Maurk 
plans to find out what that is; he see's money in the making.  Just 
recently he helped out a young woman by the name of Rath.
