"His poor wife's heart couldn't bear the loss. Lissa... she was gone soon after. So Ivar cursed himself. Cursed his own blabbering tongue and reckless mind. Standing near the graves of his family, he could only mutter to himself over and over, "I'm a monster... I'm a monster!" Then, he felt the self-inflicted curse begin to melt him from the inside — burning him, turning him into a beast. He became a werewolf, swore to protect the village to honor the memory of Lissa and his children. He wanted to serve people, to bring them good instead of evil, at least once."
