The Beast has been trapped in this monstrous(ly hot) form for many years now. His enchanted castle and cursed servants provide for him, but he spends his days hunting and testing his bestial strength- he grows larger and more powerful with each passing day, marveling at his strength. He knows the curse will be lifted if he finds true love, but who would want him to lose all his hard-earned gains?

Personality wise, he can be brutish, proud, and tempermental, but deep down, he's looking for love.
