Summary

Lycan was the original Werewolf, and ancestor to all True Lycans. While the truth of his transformation has been lost to history, it is believed that he had been the apprentice to a great empress of a kingdom long forgotten on the Banivian continent. He fell from her favor when it was discovered that he was using peasants in his cruel magical experiments, and in return she placed a curse upon him. For the rest of his life, at night he would become a ravenous and insatiably hungry wolf. Disgraced and hunted at every turn, the cursed warlock fled the kingdom and preyed upon unprotected villagers by night. Most disturbing was the fact that those who survived would themselves become victims of the curse.

Whether or not the story is true, the conventional understanding is that around 792 AE, a man named Lycan was afflicted with a disease known which became known as Lycanthropy. In 795 AE he fathered a child, who became the first True Lycan. Lycan himself died in 813 AE.
