Volechek

Volechek (ボルテチノ Bortechino) is the brother of Sveta and the ruler of Belinsk,the capital of Morgal. He is a werewolf who is initially shown to be working alongside Chalis and Blados in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.

Volechek is a hero of the beastmen, who, having successfully revolted against the Sanan People, was able to set up Belinsk as a safe-haven for beastmen. However, his country, Morgal, is precariously placed between the two militaristic powers of Sana and Bilibin. Because of this, he is able to be manipulated by Blados and Chalis, who promise to give him a powerful weapon with which he would be able to defend his people. This weapon is the Eclipse Tower. Upon activating it, he realises the error he had made, as the resulting Grave Eclipse begins to ravish Belisnk. This prompts him to revolt against Blados and Chalis, stealing the Blue Orb from them before heading into the Eclipse Tower to attempt to stop it.

This act nearly kills him, but Blados and Chalis imbue him with Dark energy, turning him into the Chaos Hound. He is next encountered when Matthew's group try to fire the Apollo Lens. He initially moves to attack them, but halts himself when confronted by his sister, Sveta he restrains himself. However, it is to no avail, as Blados and Chails pour even more dark energy into him and cause him to go berserk, prompting all three antagonists to attack the party. After this battle, depending on whether the Chaos Hound or Blados and Chalis are defeated (it is impossible to defeat all three), the darkness either overflows and absorbs Blados and Chalis, or they initiate fusion themselves, either way, they create the Chaos Chimera. After this battle, Matthew tries, to no avail, to fire the Apollo Lens. Sveta borrows his power and attempts to preform the act, knowing it would probably kill both her and Matthew. However, Volechek, seeing his sister in danger, regains his senses. He knocks Sveta back into the shadows to protect her and proceeds to fire the Apollo Lens himself though it costs him his life in the end.

Cultural References
Volechek's Japanese name refers to Borte Chino, an ancestor of Genghis Khan whose mythological descent from both Tibetan and Indian royalty is detailed in the Altan Tobchi. Borte Chino's name meant "gray-white wolf". Volechek's character design also includes clothing heavily influenced by traditional Tibetan garb.
