Nolan Dougherty

Nolan Dougherty is a Iron Master Cahalith member of the Lake Howlers pack in Chicago, Illinois. He is a member of the Lodge of Scrolls.^[1]

Overview

Nolan is struggling with his vision of where to take the Lake Howlers. Should he continue trying to protect and nourish the city's troubled waterways, or would it be better to throw the pack's energies towards getting rid of the Pure Tribes threat? He knows that his temper probably isn't the best guide, since he'd like nothing better than a scrap to the death. As alpha, he realizes he's got to think about the big, long-term picture instead. This is why he's leaning towards Sam's position as a potential beta; Nolan looks up to folks like Olivia Citysmith and Heather Hammond as prime examples of what the Iron Masters do best. He also thinks that the Iron Masters probably have the best take on urban renewal; isn't that what "honoring your territory in all things" is about?

Nolan is in early middle age. He's of average height, but has a broad chest and a deep booming voice. His dark hair is starting to recede a bit, and some early crow's-feet are paying visits to his tanned skin. He tends to wear casual clothes, such as canvas shirts and fitted cotton pants. He gets some money doing odd jobs, such as electrician and plumbing subcontracts. In his wolf form, the Cahalith's fur is dark brow with gray patches.
