After learning about King Ardis setting up camp near the city, Captain Lykos decided to reach out to him and try to get a feel for his motives. He also told Shura that he could help others manage their curses if they could capture any of the werewolves alive.
He contacted Alice for further information and she provided that Wolfsbane dipped arrows could incapacitate the werewolves.
Billie asked Lykos about Lorna and Alice, who they are and what part they played in the Defenders to which Lykos provided answers.
He stated that as far as he knew they were formerly knights of Krimnos, and that they showed up a year prior and were known for being exceptionally lucky, surviving fights and injuries that would have killed most. They came to the city of the free peoples to join the Defenders after he took it over from the orcs who were fighting for control of it.
He mentioned that Lorna is a very skilled fighter and exceptionally clever she tends to play by her own rules and has never been a fan of moderation or teamwork. Her method has always been hard force and survival. He also mentions that she left the Defenders in November because while she had incredible luck others who went on missions with her were rarely as lucky and a lot of her partners for scouting or patrol missions had ended up dead. This had created animosity and unease between her and the other Defenders.
He openly admitted that he didn't trust Lorna, and that her motives and allegiance had a habit of shifting when what she wanted or thought would help her get what she wanted changed. He used the word opportunistic to describe her.
As for Alice, Lykos said she is a Defender range scout and a strategist. She has always had a way with animals and wild beasts and he has relied on her intuition for many of the creature attacks that had hit the city in the last half of last year. He admits that both seem to be animal lovers, though Alice's connection to wild creatures was much more pronounced and Lorna mostly seemed to care only about her personal pet.
Billie then helped Lykos find Alice and he decided to try and get her help with Koroc, hinting to Billie unintentionally that he might have a thing for Alice.
Daud procured a courier for Lykos to track what was happening in the city and Lykos observed but did not respond to them. Daud also questioned what Lykos was before he was Captain of the Defenders, and why he challenged the old leaders to get that position. He learned that Lykos had lost his family and his home and that the city was all he had left of them. He was taken in by the farmers outside the city who had told him the city was built on the idea of equality, and that anyone could live there no matter their history. Those were ideas that meant a lot to him and that he wanted to see continue, but after the aggressive but respected orc leader had died Lykos saw the grim potential of any of the other bickering orcs fighting for control of the Defenders coming out on top. He fought them for control to protect the idea behind the city and the people who lived in it.
He told Daud about how Lorna and Alice had joined the Defenders once he took over, and the circumstances of Lorna leaving. And when Daud asked how he had lost his family, Lykos tells him the full story as he remembers it.
The two then began to work together with Strange's help and using Lykos as a guinea pig, to create seal trinkets like the one that had been carved into his arm that could be used to weaken werewolves and prevent them from transforming.
Daud also put the idea of tricking Koroc into incriminating himself in the eyes of the city in Lykos' head and the former captain began creating a plan to do that using Daud and Billie's help, and Ardis and his men, if it came to the need for it.
