History
Euchre was born somewhere in western Wolf Territory though the exact location is never specified, although Euchre and his cousin Roselyn where Snow Wolves the flashback they appear in seem to show an area more akin to Forest Wolf lands. From a young age Euchre was gifted with the ability to use "Flawless Transformation", a type of spell that allowed him to transform from his natural Keidran form to Human form on command. After perfecting this spell he disguised himself as a Human and used it to attend the Templar college in Edinmire, a port town far past the in Human-Wolf border despite the warnings from his cousin.

Euchre thrived at the college and in his free time worked as an indentured servant to establish his presence in Keidran form too. While in college he fell in love with Mary Silverlock, the future Grand Templar, and the pair slept with each other on at least one occasion. However, during his time at the college, Euchre never revealed his true identity to Mary or anyone else.

One day, while possibly trying to meet with Euchre again, Roselyn was captured by the other Templar in Edinmire and sentenced to be hanged by Edmund Sirus believing she was a Keidran spy. Roselyn called out for Euchre to help her, breifly stopping her execution, but fearing that his true identiy would be discovered, Euchre stayed silent and turned his back on her. Upon noticing his reaction to the mysterious Keidran girl Mary, who was also present, stopped the execution so she could interrogate Rose herself. Roselyn told Mary everything, upon hearing so Mary confronted and lashed out at Euchre for his actions. Euchre tried to defend himself by claiming that Sirus was trying to test his loyalties and that the situation was set up but Mary then said he could've taken Rose and ran. He countered trying to say that it wouldn't have turned out any better because the Templar were preparing to execute Rose for being a spy without any proof anyway. Most of Mary's rage at Euchre came from the fact the two had slept together but Euchre hadn't told her he was a diffrent species beforehand. In the end Mary reluctantly let Euchre leave as exposing him would hurt her chances of becoming Grand Templar.

A few years later, Trace Legacy, who was then a high ranking Templar himself, recruited Euchre to help overthrow Mary as Grand Templar. Euchre agreed, but only on the condition that Trace spared Mary. When the time came to stage their coup Trace did as Euchre asked, but transformed Mary into a Snow Wolf Keidran using a distorted version of Euchre's Perfect Transformation. After Mary was trasnformed Trace sold her and her young daughter Raine (Euchre's child which Mary had unknowingly been pregnant with at the time of his and her confrontation) into slavery. As thanks Grand Templar Trace then appointed Euchre to the role of a Master Templar, presumably the Master Strategist.

Whether Euchre was originally aware of what Trace had done to Mary and Raine is unknown but as explained in the Main Comic and physically shown in the Side Sketches, Euchre discoverd the truth and secretly freed Mary and Raine from captivity. Mary was not at all happy to see him again and Raine had little idea who he even was but he told them the he wasn't really looking for forgiveness and that he would never interfere with their lives again after this.

Chapter 4
Flora encounters Euchre in town and finds him trapped in a cage. Euchre explains that he was captured by humans and sold to royalty, insinuating that only the Grand Templar could free him. Flora then tries to convince Trace to set him free, to which he agrees. However, when Trace goes to the Templar holding Euchre, the Templar reveals that there is a bounty on Trace and attacks him. Trace uses the Mana from a nearby tower to defeat him, exploding the cage holding Euchre in the process. However, Euchre survives and comforts Flora after watching Trace lose control of himself, explaining that the Templar and Ephemural used the tower to make him go berserk and remember his old self. He then camps out with Team A and helps tend to Trace's wounds. He asks Flora why she wants to help Trace and suggests that she's fallen for him, but she denies and insists they're just friends. He then notices her fur is in knots and suggests she take a bath and goes back to his tent.

Chapter 5
Keith observes Flora kissing Trace in the river and attempts to stop them, but then Euchre stops Keith and says to let them be and he'll talk with Flora himself. The next morning, Euchre confronts Trace and warns him not to hurt Flora and he will be watching them. He then talks to Flora and tells her he is leaving as he has other business to attend to.

After he departs from the group, he meets up with Sirus. Sirus asks him why he didn't stay with them, to which he responds that Flora is happy and Trace's intentions are good so they'll be fine on their own. He also adds that there is work to be done and the final tower is almost complete. As he does this, he takes off his green cloak revealing a Templar robe.

Chapter 6
After Neutral possesses Flora, Euchre finds Mary who apologizes because she allowed Neutral to possess her in exchange for becoming a human again. Euchre forgives her and assures her he's here to help this time. As Trace is fighting Neutral, Euchre steps in. Trace asks if he's going to fight Neutral, but he says he'd be killed and instead encourages him to control his powers and fight to get Flora back. As Neutral tries to kill him, he teleports on top of a building and observes the rest of the fight. He laments that he cannot do more to help as he is bound by the rules, but Sirus appears behind him and assures him that he's done enough meddling to help. Sirus then asks how the fight is going to which Euchre responds that it's not going well because Neutral has a strong hold on Flora. Euchre calls out to Trace not to listen to Neutral, but Trace's dark magic reawakens and he wants to kill Ephemural disregarding Flora's safety. Euchre then decides to interfere and shows Trace his memories of Flora to remind him of what he's fighting for. Neutral then attacks him with a sword for breaking the rules.

Chapter 7
Euchre is taken to a Templar outpost where he reunites with his old master. His master is amazed that he survived his wounds, to which he replies that he is old and learned to protect himself from death, but he is reaching the end of his life regardless. His master remarks how all Keidran will become extinct if the final tower is completed, Euchre remarks how clever the Templar are for using Keidran's own instincts against them and comments that a great tragedy is approaching.

Chapter 19
As Team B is entering the Legacy Estate through the gate key, Euchre projects himself to the Estate so he can watch over Raine, but Rose notices his presence. He then warns Rose that Brahn is trying to attack the Estate to draw Trace out, and to keep Trace from discovering any secrets held in the Estate, including what is on the third floor.

Personality
Euchre is a kind, helpful and cheerful person. He is very protective of Flora and will not hesitate to hurt Trace to protect her. However Euchre will step in to help Trace if it means protecting Flora as well, an example of this would be when he broke demi-god rules to help them defeat Ephemural who severely hurt him.

Trivia

 * Euchre claims to be 21 years old as a Keidran, but this is unlikely, since it would make him only 3 years older than his daughter. It appears that Euchre is significantly older than a Keidran normally lives, and either has some means of using his magic to extend his life, or that his natural ability to use "Flawless Transformation" grants him a Human lifespan.
 * Euchre is one of the only characters know to possesa the ability to use the "Flawless Transformation" spell, a spell that can completely change the appearance of the user to an almost perfect degree. Euchre used this ability to go to the Templar College in Edinmire and tricked Mary into a relationship with him.
