summary
A pack is a hierarchy. There are diverse roles that Pack members are assigned, each with a different ranking.
alpha
summary
The Alpha is the king of the pack. They control all of the Pack members. The Alpha is the boss and the Alpha can sentence a pack member to punishment or even death if one does not obey Pack Law.
responsibilities
They dictate when and where battles take place, which werewolf is banned or joined, where the hunters go with their troops, etc.
requirements
Alpha's have to be males, a tradition kept since the beginning of time.

consort
summary
The Consort is the mate of the Alpha.
responsibilities
They often don't have many duties to the pack, for the Consort is more of a title than a role. Consorts point their fingers and ask for them to be done. Their decisions are respected but never the final say. All actions or conclusions made by consorts must be approved by their mate.
