Pegard

Description
Pegard is an elderly, black tom with a muzzle silver with age, sharp green eyes flecked with gold, a scarred face, and a torn ear.

History
He is the oldest of the living Coldbloods, and because of this he has become the "advisor" to the heir. Technically the heir has more power than him, but because Keagan does not yet have a mate, Pegard is considered to be the head of the family.

Personality
He considers himself to be rather elegant, in both his mannerisms and way of handling the family, despite his occasional brutality. He is the sort that prefers never to get his paws dirty, but in this day and age he often finds it necessary. He actually immensely dislikes being the king of the family, but because there are no other suitable toms to fall into line, he is stuck with it, and his hopes for getting out rely solely on Keagan. It isn't as though he does not enjoy being in power - he does, and has a continuing thirst for more. However, being the king puts him right at the forefront of everything, right in the spotlights, and he loathes that. He considers himself to be more of a puppet-master, but kings must often directly interact with their subjects and force them on the right path, if necessary. He hates this directness, and would much prefer subtly manipulating Keagan into doing his work, rather than performing it himself. When he's not on king-duties - which is basically when he's alone - he's rather soft-spoken and contemplative, but being king forces him to be more harsh. He's clever and underhanded; vows have no worth to him, nor do treaties or promises, although the other royal families aren't as aware of this as they should be. He's as likely to stab an ally in the back as he is to help them, and this extends to his family as well. He is also known for being extremely erratic when pressured; his personality changes on a dime. One moment he is calm, the next he is spitting insults; this has caused many of his family members to be rather wary of him, but they cannot really force him out of his position until Keagan is positioned to overtake him. Pegard is aware of their dislike, and aware of his own personality "quirks," as he calls them, but as there is little he can do to control it, he focuses on working with Keagan to make him the next king, so that he can slip into his more favored role as the Evil (Great) Uncle.
