The Great Alphess - Basically, the Goddess of the packs. She is played by Ventriloquist, and only Ventriloquist, the Administrator.
Alphess - The female leader (Queen) of the pack. Has complete authority over her pack. She is the leader of the Klam and chooses her own mate. She has complete authority to her pack
Alpha - The male leader and the alphesses mate. He helps the alphess with her needs and helps to control the pack and plan attacks when needed. But, the alphess always has the most control between the two according to the old laws. He can change if the alphess wishes.
Heiress - The next Alphess of a pack, chosen or the pup of the current Alphess. If born into it, usually the oldest female pup. There has never been a male heir after the great female was chosen so long ago.
Betas - Only report to the Alphess or Alpha, high-ranking (nobles). Can be born into or chosen for their position. May be other pups of an Alpha or Alphess. Usually good friends of the alphas. Like the alphas the beta female has the 'uperhand' over the beta male.
Doctor - The pack's healer. Sometimes there may be more than one, these wolves are usually non aggressive.
Doctor's Assistant - Basically the apprentices of the Doctors. Are in training to become full Doctors.
Warriors - The main fighters of a pack. Larger and bulkier then the hunters. No "apprentices" per say, but a Warrior may take a younger Warrior under their wing. There are many of these in the Klam pack.
Hunters - The, well, hunters. Slimmer and lighter then the Warriors, they catch prey for the pack. No "apprentices" per say, but a Hunter may take a younger Hunter under their wing. Warriors will sometimes join the hunters to catch prey for the pack.
Ladies - Nursing and/or pregnant mothers. Alphas and Betas do not need permission to have pups but other females do;Pups that are born without permission will be given to a chosen wolf and the parents will be given some sort of punishment. Pups live in the Nursery until they are old/large enough to leave.
Pups - Ah, yes, the pups. Those cut little things that run around the heels of the Ladies. They are very important to the survival of the pack. However, if it is a pack that does not allow pregnancy among females other then the Alphess or high-ranked wolves, they can be killed, or adopted. Still, they are considered highly important. All wolves are considered pups until at least a year of age, longer in some cases.
Pariahs(Omegas) - The lowest of the low, they can either be pack members who have really screwed up, or former lone wolves who have joined the pack. Their ranks can change.
Elders - The old wolves who have past their working years. They still have their memories and intellect, though (well, most of them at least . . .), so they are pretty important. But do to their tendency to up and die, they are only a Medium Rank wolf, unless they were Alpha(ess) or a Beta.
