About The MOC
Howling Knight is something of a prototype for a MOC I wanted to build in the future. I wanted to create a MOC with a hooded cloak and I discovered that Lego made a hood for a Duplo figure I combined it with the tattered cape from Sir Fangar to create a tattered hood look. I find it quite effective. Fortunately though a friend who posts elsewhere told me of another method of making hoods that will be more flexible. But I still felt this guy deserved to see completion and the light of day.

He's also really inspired by probably one of my favorite Blocks of Magic The Gathering, which is the Innistrad Block. Such lovely artwork and direction for it. I honestly recommend going through and looking at the visual spoiler for that set or the whole block (Innistrad, Dark Ascension, Avacyn Restored). It has quite lovely stylized gothic artwork. While on that subject, this is a very interesting read .

Bio
This poor accursed being was once a noble knight of a king's order. One mid-autumn evening he and his loyal company had to escort a foreign Emissary back home. Suddenly the convoy was ambushed. At first they thought it was an enemy of the state, but they were far underestimating their adversary. Their foe was an ancient evil that befell to obscurity and myth--The Lycanthrope. The other men were ripped to pieces while Odric, The King's guard escaped with a deep laceration to his shoulder. Shortly after he began to feel strange, unlike himself. He blacked out and the man known as Odric was forever lost...to madness.

Now the Howling Knight roams the lands devouring farm animals and people alike, not fully a man or beast, but a marriage of the two unlike anything man has seen before, at least men who have been recording history. It turns out the old legends are true after all. While remnants of Odric remain, he is a shambled mess of consciousness, muttering to himself or screaming out in fear and anger in every waking moment. Part of him simply wishes to die and be freed from his torment...Then there's the beast, feral and of baser instinct. Every argument of the soul is one by this invasion of the soul. There is a small part of him that holds out hopes that there is some cure for such madness, perhaps a powerful cleric knowing the ancient ways. Perhaps he may some day be whole again, but perhaps he is doomed till the end of days...
