A dark knight with a darker past

You appear to be human for most of each month. However, on the nights before, during, and after the full moon, you transform into a massive wolf-like creature that even the most seasoned warriors cower in the face of. Although no one knows who you really are, this has caused you as the Wolf to be persecuted repeatedly for years until you finally got the idea to change the way everyone else would see you. You know that the easiest way to gain the most influence is to defeat a dragon in Mortal Combat and become the King.

As for the tower you chose, you decided not to go to the Cobalt as that would be just as suicidal in how you fight. On the other hand, you also chose one that will always prefer a fight to one where both sides are alive at the end. The reason for this is because you are tired of running from the hunters and you want this to be an all or nothing battle.
