Akela is a Wolf Fang Druid-Animal Trainer and a solo player in the MMORPG Elder Tale, with a fine reputation, due to having participated in Full Raid Parties. Since the Catastrophe, he has banded with some old friends, and formed his own guild, Wolven.

Appearance
Standing at 6'07", Akela is actually almost a full foot taller than he is in the real world. He has dark blue hair tied back above his lupine ears with the rest spilling down his back, reaching his waist.

He wears leather armor under a forest green hooded cloak, fur brimming the hood, earth-brown trousers, boots, and fingerless gloves to bear his claws. His eyes are an icy blue, described to be piercing like icicles, and he has a long and bushy wolf tail constantly on display.

Personality
A literal lone wolf, Akela preferred being a solo player before the Catastrophe although he did enjoy spending time with friends and is capable of working in parties, having been a part of several successful full raids.

After becoming trapped in Elder Tale, Akela fell into a depression and suffered great heartache, due to his fears of never seeing his family again. However, his friends found him and helped him realize he was not alone, that they were together, and out of deep appreciation, he founded his own guild, Wolven, and invited them all to join.

Akela is something of a straight man but can have a good laugh and knows when to have fun.

Prior to the Catastrophe
Before the Catastrophe, Akela (whose real name is Akira Rowan) worked as a porter in a high-end restaurant while also working to get his children's novel published. He was born to an American businessman and a Japanese waitress, who met when the former came to Japan on a business trip. They married but due to his father's job, Akela rarely saw him while he lived with his mother.

He grew up, enjoying reading and writing, and desired to become an author of children's books, and found work at a high-end restaurant to earn his own money. He got into Elder Tale when a friend recommended it, and became a veteran player, eventually reaching Level 90. He was playing when the Catastrophe occurred.

Trivia
