Long ago, in a remote mountain monastery, the boy was taken in by the monks to train as an apprentice scribe. He was quiet, diligent, and oddly productive during the full moon. While others slept, Jacob could be found hunched over manuscripts, transcribing entire texts overnight, sometimes with suspiciously clawed handwriting and faint paw prints in the margins. Eventually, the truth came out: Jacob was a werewolf. But rather than cast him out, the monks embraced him. They would never be able to promote him beyond his apprentice title (sacrilege!) but he was supported throughout his life, and his skills only improved. His sharp eyes caught every error, his keen nose sniffed out forged scrolls, and his boundless energy meant their library doubled in size in just a few winters. Word of the “wolf-monk” spread. Nobles and scholars paid handsomely for manuscripts touched by his claws. The nearby village who supplied the monastery grew and prospered thanks to the increased interest. Thanks to Jacob, the monastery thrived. They gained both spiritual reverence and material wealth. Even centuries later, legends say the quality of content he produced has never been matched. And to this day, content creators still invoke his nickname in the hopes of bringing / maintaining prosperity and being embraced by their community - “Don’t forget: Lycan Sub-Scribe!”
