Apex Predator
You are the top of the food chain. Your attitude matched by ferocity. The Vampire lord is the most powerful form of vampire in Skyrim. Who's to say there can't be a lord of werewolves? With this build you will become just that, and rule over the lycans of Skyrim with a steel fist. I chose to play this build, along with mods, because with the Dawnguard DLC and werewolf spawn added to the game, i saw no such higharchy within whenever i came across a pack of them in the wild. The Apex Predator is so powerful, he's able to transform into beast form at will until the full moon rises. To play this character, take no backtalk from anyone. Anytime the option to intimidate someone to scare them off or to get your way in things. If someone calls you a Milk-Drinker; kill them and any one else around so there are no witnesses. After words, transform into the beast and consume the bodies to help strengthen the beast within. You have no followers except two wolves you found and tamed from the wilds.
Backstory
Everyone knows most of those who hunt do so for the Daedric Lord Hircine. There is one couple of hunters that stand out from the rest. Two brothers, Falvar and his younger brother, had a unique way of hunting down the game within the borders of the Falkreath hold. Before being known as top werewolf, the younger brother was known as Quinn. One day, the two brothers went out on an afternoon hunt before the sun starts to set. They eventually found the biggest buck elk in the forest. Other hunters have tried to bring it down, but with no success. Arrow tips from other attempts of bringing it down still pertrude from its hide. The brothers, with their way of hunting, will try their luck on this hunt. Falvar told Quinn to stay hidden behind a tree, then he creeped up on the elk from the other side. Falvar jumped out and chased the elk in the direction of his brother. Quinn then leap out of hiding and onto the back of the elk. He grabbed the Antlers, and with twist of his arms; he broke the neck of the Great elk and it dropped to the ground. They celebrated the success of their hunt, but it was short lived. A ghostly figure appeared before the brothers and spoke to them. It was an Aspect of Hircine that had come to congratulate the young hunters. Hircine was indeed impressed with their way of the hunt and then threw upon them his blessing. Soon after skinning and gathering the meat from the elk, they came across a large group of bandits. The bandits were there to steal the meet and pelt from the bothers. Quinn refused to give up anything he had, so they bandits came up behind him and held him down on his knees; tying up his hands. The Bandit leader turned to Falvar and demanded again for the last time. Falvar also refused. Taking out his warhammer, the Bandit leader swong it and sweaped Falvar off his feet. They then dragged him off to their hideout to torture him. The remaining bandits beat Quinn till he was knocked unconscious and then left him to die; however, Hircine once again appeared before Quinn. This time Hircine granted him lycanthrope and the abililty to turn into a savage werewolf. This healed his body quickly and once Quinn awoke, he felt the beast inside his soul.

At the beginning of the game, you will want to become a werewolf by using the ancient ring given to you by the Moonlight tales (special edition) mod. Then find two wolves out in the wild. They dont have to be the same kind of wolf. The wolves will be used for hunting game. While in combat, your main weapon will be a two-handed sword. it will be used for killing Bandits, Silverhand, and mammoths. A one-handed sword and shield will be used for slashing and blocking your opponets till they are on their knees; only then to wip out your two-handed and execute them. Your hatred for bandits will drive out the best side of your character, so transform into a werewof before you enter a bandit hideout. This will allow you to level up your werewolf quite quickly when feeding on the corpes.
