I have been chipping away at redesigning Adolph for months now, and I've finally reached a point that I'm happy with (excluding wolf form)!
His lore:
The original werewolf, an immortal who failed to accept humility and defeat, unleashed a vengeful wrath in the mortal world, birthing a curse to those who are bit by him, and those bitten by the infected.
This was how rabies were introduced to the mortal world, the werewolf curse being a guise that died down as centuries passed, but the effects of rabies remained.
Adolph earnt a place in Hell in the Pride ring for what he has done, and he swears to himself to restrain himself best he can. He now roams in Hell as an intimidating pacifist until you give him good reason to attack.
Keep clear of his family, and do your best not to aggravate him.
