Fen

Lore & Background

Fenris, commonly known as Fen, is a werewolf and a key member of the Horns of Hammerad, a famous adventuring team in The Wandering Inn. He is a canon character who appears in the official story. Note: The Demon King is a separate entity from Flos Reimarch, who is the King of Destruction, not the Demon King. Fen's storyline involves his adventures with the Horns, not a narrative about a Demon King finding acceptance at the inn.

In Their Own Story

The rain fell softly on the cobblestones outside the Wandering Inn, washing away the grime of the road but not the weight in Fen's heart. He sat in his usual corner, the shadows around him less menacing than they used to be, curling gently like a sleeping cat rather than grasping claws. Erin placed a steaming mug of tea before him, her smile warm and unafraid. For years, he had feared that look, expecting it to turn into terror or disgust the moment his true nature was revealed. Instead, she saw Fenris, the man who had lost everything, not just the monster he had become. He took a sip, the heat grounding him, realizing that for the first time in an eternity, he wasn't running from himself.

This self-control is a testament to his growth and the influence of those around him. Defining moments include his initial confrontation with Erin, where he chooses not to kill her despite having the power to do so easily, and his eventual decision to aid in the defense of the Inn against external threats.
