Nature of the Beast: Donovan is a sadistic, blood hungry werewolf who kills merely for the heck of it. Initially introduced as the main protagonist's, Rich's, loyal colleger professor, he murders  Rich's best friend right in front of him, and bites Rich immediately afterwards, cursing him for almost his entire life. What makes this action especially sick is that he still has the full thinking capacity of a human being when he transforms, since he can change by his own free will without a full moon- meaning he killed Rich's friend for literally no reason other than pure sadism. It's even implied later in the film that he uses his power for personal gain, as he apparentyl killed a man just so he could have his house. After he attends the wedding reception for Rich and his fiance, Julia', he turns Rich into the wolf himself and tries to make him kill Julia and her family. When Rich is able to fight his inner beast before before nearly killling her, Donovan tries to tempt him with the offer of a whole new life that requires feeding on many innocent people. When Rich refuses to join him on a murder spree, basically, he decides he'll try to brutally kill Julia's entire family in front of them. And for an Alpha werewolf who seems so keen on having his own beta/"brother", he's stated before that he prefers to "hunt alone", making his torment and neverending curse towards Rich meaningless.

How'd I do?
