What do you mean by 'not exactly human'?
Is he like a creature? Werewolf, vampire, demon etc.?
And also, being controlled by who?
Can you be more specific with the plot before starting? c: Lol right, didn't want to give to much detail was all lol. The detail bunny is a jerk and likes to bite me a lot XD
His from a race of people with animal ears and tails, when they come in contact with enchanted or cursed items they're forced to react accordingly. Like right now his wearing a collar that that forces him to obey the owner of the collar thus making them his owner, who would be you're characters.
The plot would be that he's used to being used by the king to make the blood line stronger with new kids and after their births he escapes, well while he was gone the kingdom was taken over by someone new after a war and now you're guy, who is the new king, had him tracked down and dragged back so he could test out the roamers about Reaper's kind.
