Aluvias Kirebach lives in the Duchy of Tethalon, but through his dogs he is known through out the land.

In the city of Tethalon he keeps a fairly large plot of land just inside the west wall. It is here he breeds and trains his "White Hounds". He has kennels and pens enough for 24 animals but rarely is it that all these are occupied. No one can place the white dog's breed for certain, though many have fought an argument over their opinions after a jug of ale. Usually brought on by the telling of some far-flung tale involving the storyteller narrowly escaping a gruesome death at the sharp end of a white hound. The truth being, of course, nobody escapes Kirebach's white hounds.

The dogs are long legged like wolves but bear no other resemblance to the species, bar maybe their canny intelligence. In the face their muzzles are shorter and wider than a wolf's. Brilliant pink eyes light up their faces, so much that many say they glow in the dark to lead them to their prey. Across the chest they are slightly broader, but not as big as some popular aggressive breeds used for guarding and fighting. Most note worthy is the basis for their name. Their fur is short, very fine and brilliant white from nose to tail.

Kirebach has been breeding these dogs for twenty years for their intelligence and bloodthirsty aggression. His current pack of hounds demonstrates his skills to the full. From birth Kirebach trains the dogs to have a single-minded determination to achieving three steps. Track, kill and return. Assassination by Kirebach's white hounds has almost become a common and acceptable occurrence.
