Personality: He loves knowledge and books. He'll do anything for knowledge, spending his time pouring over countless tomes and books, soaking up the information like a sponge, even kill and rob others for them, showing that he is possessive of his books and yet also showing they are his biggest weakness as he has no attachments to anyone in the world. He has a level-head, stubborn and doesn't back from challenges. He also likes playing chess and is intelligent though he has few real friends. Anti-social, he doesn't like being in large crowds or groups larger than three to four as he begins to get uncomfortable, taking more after his eagle side than then the lion's social behavior.
Background: He was born on Halloween sixteen years ago to a freshman in college, the product of a one-night stand between a professor and the student. Cerin was abandoned minutes after his birth in front of a fire station where he was found the next morning, stuffed in a trash bag with the umbilical cord still attached. A fireman heard a noise when he went down for a midnight snack and found the infant and took him to the hospital where a police report was filed and the child was looked over. Given the name Cerin Ashworth, the last name belonging to the fireman who had found him, the child was sent to foster care when nobody responded to the ad about the child and he was bounced from home to home until he was eight when he ran away due to abuse. A man in a black suit found the child a year later on the streets and took the child to the lab where he was injected with the DNA of an eagle and the DNA of a lion. Six months later he was taken in by Kia when she found him and joined her pack. All was well for Nidhug until he turned sixteen and tried to kill Kai, leading him to be banished from the pack yet not before he was knocked unconscious, causing him to lose his memories of his time in the pack, including his name. This was done for the pack's protection and he wandered back into the custody of the scientists where he became a weapon.
