On his left palm, a pentagram can be easily spotted, proof of his nature. Kyle doesn't like to look at it and covers his hands with leathery gloves.He has an intriguing presence and masculine yet rather harmonious traits. His eyes shine strangely in the dark.

Dislikes: Quinn R. Frost, Ash(Berserk mode), stuck up people, Werewolves, the No Man's Land.
Other Abilities:
Martial Arts: Kyle has learned how to defend himself with different styles over the centuries. While he's more prompt to shoot people because of his practical side, he has been more than once in situations where it came in handy. It also helps channeling his anger which leads to becoming a hulking not-too-happy beast.
Shapeshifting: Like other Werewolves, Kyle has the ability to change into a feral beast. Doing so enhance his abilities as a fighter but reduces thought capacity. Kyle has retained a certain control over it but will eventually snap if provoked in this form.
Regenerative ability: Part of the curse if that it makes you heal faster than mortals and most supernatural species. While quite handy, it still requires time to recover from the worse wounds.
Expert Tracker: Kyle is skilled when it comes to trailing someone. For this very reason, he's often hired to find people disappearing in the Nexus. His success rate is mild, which is pretty decent for a place like the Nexus.
Burglar: Kyle is an extremely talented thief. Able to break in most places without raising attention. He can lockpick pretty much any door, unless it's something akin to a safe with a specific mechanism.
Mental Training: While it may appear that Kyle has a good grasp of his bestial side, it's related to the daily mental exercises he has to go through. Because getting angry is faster when you're a predator, it's necessary to keep his psyche balanced and evacuate the stress before he reaches his limits. This allows him to resist mind probing. It doesn't block off telepathy but won't allow people to read him open like a book. A powerful mind reader can bypass his mental defenses with brute force but doing so is very likely to trigger a transformation.
Equipment:
S&W M&P 40: His weapon of choice. 15 rounds capacity. While it looks like a normal weapon, it has been cursed by a powerful witch to bring unbearable pain to whoever gets shot. The suffering is proportional to the sins this person brought to others.
Silver & Iron handcuffs: Ideal to neutralize vampires, werewolves, faeries and some other species. He always have at least a pair of these on him.
Origin:
Unwanted child born from an abusive master and a slave mother in 1623. He grows up in Virginia and learns to work at three. When he reaches his six year of existence, he's sold as a sex slave to an European Aristocrat traveling back to England. The child is quickly put to 'work' and starts a miserable life devoid of any hope. Docile and patient, he waits for a good opportunity to escape. This chance his granted to him two years later when he managed to run away from town and makes his way into the nearby woods. Thinking himself in security for the first time of his life, he doesn't bother to look behind as he goes deeper and deeper inside tortuous paths. As he starts to wonder how he will find food in this dark place, he finds a seemingly desert campfire with what looks like a roasting rabbit on it. Hoping nobody would find out, he snatches the piece of food and run away. As he stops to catch his breath, Kyle finds three people surrounding him. The trio neutralizes him quickly then decide that he's far too skinny to make a really good meal. One argues that he's only interested in devouring his heart but the others two propose to turn him so that he can lure more people into the woods for them. Without a way to defend himself, Kyle become their plaything. He follows their orders and help them feed. After a while, the group starts getting closer to the town, much to Kyle's terror. Eventually, the young boy managed to bring a blond woman with him but, when his comrades surround her, she makes short work of them. Kyle tries to flee, in vain.
The vampire presents herself and explains him that she was sent to inquire about the disappearance of several persons in the vicinity. Kyle explains that what he made was wrong but didn't have a choice. He asks for forgiveness in tears but instead of the cold silver kiss, she gives him a hug and promises to not hurt him. From this point onwards, the two travels together as Forest teaches him how to control his instincts. She gives him a short but strict education and the little wolf is happy to learn. They only stay together for a couple of weeks before she brings him to a vampire's couple who would raise him as their son. Kyle refuses to part ways but Forest answers that she couldn't guarantee his safety. She gives him a crow pendent and leaves shorty after.
Nowadays, Kyle is a Hunter. Contrary to most of them, who act in cooperation with the Church or any other organizations willing to share information, he usually works alone. He gives chase to the supernatural beings in the Nexus who threatens the population and help those in troubles. While he is willing to help however he can, he prefers to keep an eye on his own species because unlike him, they rarely shows the will to control their powers or their frenzy.
Just by looking, it's easy to tell, Kyle is a kind guy with an open personality. He doesn't discriminate, simply esteem people through actions. Among the Lycanthropes of the Nexus, he's one of the easiest to get along and it happens rarely that people get seriously mad at him, because, down to the core, he stayed true to the teachings he received from a certain vampiress. He gets along just fine with about anyone and this clownish facade that he shows is genuine in spite of what others might think.
Kyle is often difficult to keep up with, his pace being somewhat unpredictable. Kyle is also stubborn and persistent. He's rather pragmatic and prefers the expeditive approach when dealing with a job. He's not heartless but would rather kill a dangerous guy than seeing him free few hours later because he knows who to bribe. While being part of the goods guys, he's still down to earth on matters of money and ask for a reward each time he accepts a job.
He is rather well known among the werewolves for having killed some of their pack leaders but, is considered a strange individual for denying the life in community with his kin.
He has a serious feud with Quinn and would likely kill him if given the opportunity. He gets along mildly with Gabriel, calling him Lucifer. Although they might not be really close, he usually tags along with the hybrid in order to tease Forest. He considers her lakin to a mother figure but won't necessarily listen to her. Because she has yet to succumb to his charms, he has his eyes on Ash nowadays. Although he doesn't have real feelings for her, he thinks she would make for a nice trophy. He's also an acquaintance of Joshua Hunters.
