Chatran is a host of many values even with his personal flaws. While his convictions are absolute, Chatran freely gives of himself to those that are honorable and respectful to him and to themselves. He returns as good as he gets, but his returns are in full! Of Chatran's greatest values is the protection of women of all types, and the protection of puppies, children, and cubs. And like any father or protector, Chatran will allow no threats to those that he loves and those that love him. Above all else, Chatran lives for family, friends, and a good time with them as often as possible. Even if he has to violently move something or someone out of the way to enjoy them. That is primarily due to the fact that Chatran has had a life filled with loss. He's been on his own for more than 15 years and has been alone in all of that time. Because of the Beast within, Chatran has had to maintain a solitary existence among people unlike himself and he's done okay in that life. But it hurts him. One day, while at work, an event takes place that changes Chatran's life and launches him into his natural element. Chatran learns to live and become one with his natural elemental form and embraces life and himself fully. He also learns something far greater. Because of that knowledge, he offers and ultimately, gives himself to others that have accepted him. But he has to earn their respect and trust very quickly before he is lost within himself and is released without direction. With the trust of the others, Chatran will have the responsibility of their protection. The question then becomes; can one of great strength partner with one of wrath and be successful in navigating their way to their real home? Or will they take the wrong road, unknowingly, and be damned while pursuing handfuls of shiny and pretty things? The problem is that there is no help. And the one leading the way isn't the one making the decisions.
When Adam Melton, the ambitious brand manager of Petrovsk Vodka went out on the town that night, he was hoping to pick up a beautiful girl and a few hints and tips from his target market, the vodka-swilling ladettes of Reading.

Imagine how it would feel to one day wake up and find your vision descending swiftly into darkness. Your fingertips are turning numb, and, as the world closes in around you, you realise there is nothing you can do to stop it. This is what happened to Vanessa Potter. In the space of 72 hours, Vanessa went from juggling a high-flying career as a producer and caring for her two small children to being completely blind, unable to walk, and with her sense of touch completely gone. Over the course of the next six months, Vanessa slowly began to recover. Opening her eyes onto a black-and-white world with mutating shapes and colours that crackled and fizzled, she encountered a visual landscape that was completely unrecognisable. As colour reappeared, Vanessa experienced a range of bizarre phenomena as her confused brain tried to make sense of the world around her, and she found herself touching and talking to inanimate objects in order to stimulate her vision – all part of her brain's mechanism for coping with the trauma of sensory loss. Going blind led Vanessa to turn science sleuth, reinventing herself as Patient H69 to uncover the reality behind her unique condition. With the help of a team of psychologists and neuroscientists, we follow her story as she learns the science of herself, making discoveries that will positively change the course of her life. Vanessa's account is raw and candid, but ultimately upbeat. It shows how this remarkable woman opened doors by transforming her terrifying experience into an inspirational and scientifically fascinating endeavour.
