Clan Master of Hounds
Brecc Falkirk, Yellow to Rose Warlord
Brecc is young for a post as critical as Master of Hounds. He is responsible for the breeding and training of the dogs essential to the Clan's survival. He must also be ruthless enough to cull animals that are unsafe, particularly amongst the Hellhounds. The fluffy beasts are used as war dogs, but healthy animals, while usually standoffish with strangers, are not aggressive by nature.
He is quite protective of the Hellhounds. They are very rarely gifted or sold to anyone outside of the Clan, and even then only with extensive training. Even within the Clan, the Hellhounds are rendered incapable of breeding unless they are going to a fully qualified breeder and trainer.
The Bearded Collies are the more normal choice for a guard dog or home protection, having a gentler nature and significant herding instincts, making them an asset to both animal husbandry and child care. The Highland Shepherds are renowned working dogs and superior herders. Both of these breeds are officially less restricted, but Brecc is still quite choosy about letting the animals go.
While Brecc is very fond of dogs, he is the Master of Hounds because they save lives. He admires them, and respects them. He doesn't particularly like the way females tend to spoil his dogs, especially Hellhounds, so he is at pains to keep females out of the stable and away from his kennel.
Brecc is a man determined to earn respect based not on who his father is, but his own achievements. While a skilled individual warrior, he is rarely involved in true military actions, leaving that arena of competition to his father.
He is a private man, unwilling to discuss his mother's death, but neither lonely nor unbalanced. While not a man with a hair trigger temper, he has no compunction against killing people who trespass into his territory.
Bonding Triggers:
[*] Brecc would be good for Queen loved dogs, not conversation.
[*] Brecc would need a Queen who pushes him to do more. While his job is important, it does not challenge him. In short, he is resisting being the best he could be, because he is unwilling to try hard in any area his father excels at.
[*] The Darkness would Bond Brecc because ...
He is the nephew of the Clan Laird, Cathal's son.
