Personality
Runar is a Hellhound Overlord, who takes pride in having clawed his way up from the gutters to where he is today. However, he is also cautious, tempering his pride and ambition with a healthy sense of self-preservation, along with wanting to protect everything he's ever achieved, as well as his loved ones.

His past, while mostly a mystery, shaped him into becoming a predator, seeking power and respect, but in Runar's case he strove to have what he deemed as "enough". That is to say, he is satisfied with what he has and will not stand for anything or anyone that threatens his power, status, or anything else he cares about.

He puts on a show of being tough and intimidating to some while giving some level of respect to his fellow Overlord yet not allowing any of them to think they can walk all over him or underestimate him. Whereas with the other high-ranking demons of Hell (like the Sins, the Royal Family, or the Goetia) Runar keeps interaction with them as minimal as possible. He prefers not to stir up any hornets nests, but he won't bend over and take it if an other demon tries to push him around or talk down to him.

Even so, Runar has wisely built rapport with certain demons in order to have allies in the event he and his Pack were ever threatened by rivals or anyone else that would dare threaten him.

Runar is bisexual and polyamorous, having taken on multiple mates in his pack (males and females) and fathered several pups, all of whom he loves dearly and would not hesitate to protect even at the risk of his own life.

He has a bloodthirsty and violent side, but he doesn't kill for the sake of killing. He enjoys fights, is not afraid to get violent with others, and has personally tortured enemies with his own claws.

History
Runar's origins are somewht of a mystery, other than he was born in the Ring of Gluttony and did not have a good upbringing. He doesn't talk about his family nor how he came into the "ownership" of a low-ranking Goetia, who treated Runar horribly. When Runar was still a pup, he finally snapped and killed his master, forcing him to go into hiding when the Goetia's relatives came looking for his (Runar's former master's) killer.

Runar struggled to survive, often subject to cruel and unsuual treatment from other demons, since hellhounds were considered the bottom of the heap in Hell's hierarchy (next to imps). When Runar was around thirteen, he collapsed in an alleyway outside a casino, on the verge of giving up... when he observed a tall red demon making a deal with a winged cat demon. Overhearing them, Runar learned the winged cat had made a deal with the red demon... and lost his soul along with his status as an Overlord.

This spurred Runar to keep living and he swore to himself that he would rise up, no matter what it took. He waited a few more years, looking for the right opportunity, which came after an Extermination. He found an Overlord on the brink of death, desperate and pleading for help. Approaching the Overlord, Runar offered his aid... in exchange for whatever he asked of his choosing. The Overlord, desperate to live and perhaps underestimating the young hellhound, agreed, and the bargain was struck.

Runar saved the Overlord's life... and then called in what he was owed, and demanded the Overlord's soul! Because the deal was binding, the Overlord had no choice, and so lost his soul, along with his power, wealth, and Overlord status, to Runar, who became an Overlord in his own right.

Ever since then, Runar has mostly kept to himself, appearing now and then to exploit opportunities, and secure whatever he could to protect his power and status as an Overlord.
