Originally formed by an adventurous natural werewolf by the name of Nathan Timothy. Son of Eowin Timothy, a powerful werewolf from Mordent, Nathan was always compelled to wander. On some level, he seemed to believe that he might escape the Demiplane of Dread through his wanderings. Being a natural werewolf and raised as a monster, he left a trail of murders in his wake. When there was nowhere left to explore, he entered the Mists. They obliged him with a domain of his own: Arkandale.
Arkandale was riddled with small, sharp hills and thick forests. The land was abundant with game animals and wolves, and Arkandale was well known for the furs its settlements produced. These small villages were clustered around the Musarde River, which cut a broad swath across the domain. Captain Nathan Timothy piloted his paddle boat, the Virago, up and down the river as a merchant.
His curse was to be unable to leave the river, lest he begin entering a helpless, comatose state. Unlike most darklords, Nathan learned to live with the curse, even coming to enjoy the river all the more. While he was not a good man, and was still a ruthless werewolf, his evils were no longer so dramatic or pervasive that he warranted a domain of his own. His son, Alfred, however, was indulging in worship of a Wolf God, and making ruthless sacrifices and decisions for no reason greater than his own sense of hatred and desire to be a monster.
When the Grand Conjunction (or Great Upheaval) finished, Verbrek absorbed Arkandale. Nathan Timothy was released from his curse, and remains captain of the Virago as of 755 Barovian Calendar. His travels now take him all over the Core, and he is famous for providing a safe ride and gregarious company. Then again, no one would hear from anyone who disappeared on his ship.
Note: Nathan's son, Alfred, is the darklord of Verbrek, to the south.
