He never abandons his pagan beliefs, despite [[spoiler:actually meeting (supposedly) ''real'' figures of the Twins' faith, such as their Mother, burying the Junior Twin's body by his own hands, and experiencing a mystical vision of their [[{{God}} Eternal Father]]. At the same time he does [[spoiler:turn into a were-dog]], and later restarts his clan just as their legends describe it. He reconcile it in the syncretic belief system which is best described by the trope's name.

''Wolfhound of the Clan of Grey Hounds'' (Волкодав из рода Серых Псов, Volkodav iz roda Serykh Psov) is a book by Maria Semyonova.
He was condemned to death, but survived to wreak revenge for the murder of his clan. The last member of the clan of the Grey Hounds became a fearless warrior by the name of Wolfhound. After cheating death in the mines, Wolfhound sets out on a journey with his constant companion, the Earthbound Bat. Wolfhound has but one desire – to destroy the Maneater, a merciless warrior who slaughtered the village of the Grey Hounds.
After making the long journey to the Maneater’s castle, Wolfhound finally conquers his archenemy. He also frees two prisoners, the sage Tilorn and slave-girl Neelith. Wolfhound accompanies them to the city of Galirad, which has been thrown into turmoil. The evil druid Zhadoba is planning to attack the city at any moment. The king of Galirad, to save the city from destruction, is giving his daughter away in marriage to Vinitar, a young warrior who promises to protect Galirad.
Princess Elen must travel to the land of her new husband, and asks Wolfhound to be her guard in this long and dangerous journey. Wolfhound agrees to serve the princess and is caught up in a whirlwind of mysterious events, as the true purpose of the journey is gradually revealed....
In 2006, Russia had produced a [[Film/TheWolfhound film of the book]].
