These are the different ranks that can be held within a pack, not every pack will have every rank as some pend on pack size and other variables.

• Alpha:(2) Leader of the pack, in charge of most everything, but often will consult their betas. The Alpha must be someone that the pack trust to lead them and protect them, someone who is not only strong, but intelligent and proud, with the morals appropriate to their followers. They must be able to enforce the laws they have given to their pack. Failure to lead appropriately leaves an Alpha open to challenge from their Beta or any other pack members. Prolonged sickness and chronic injury would mean an Alpha is unable to appropriately lead, and will then be replaced
  
  
• Beta:(1 or 2) The Alpha's right hand man, their for advice, back up and often moral support. Not only would the Beta be someone intelligent and strong as their Alpha is, but they will also more often than not be someone who knows the Alpha's on a close personal level and both ranks will be able to offer emotional and moral support as if they were family. If the Alpha's die before they are able to name heir, or have children, it is the Beta/s that then lead the pack.
  
  
• Heir:(1-?) These are the select few in the pack, perhaps children of or pack officials close to the Alpha's. There is always an order to who would take the throne in the unfortunate even of an Alpha's death or inability to lead, and would appropriately be called "1st Heir", "2nd Heir" or "3rd Heir" so on and so forth.
  
  
• Commander:(1-2) These Garoux are similar to what would be called a "Gamma." They are the war lords of the pack, and command the soldiers. They are responsible for training the soldiers, or appointing senior warriors to do such, and in the case of a Beta taking the thrown in the absence of an Heir, they become the new Beta's. This position requires if not a love of battle, at least a hardened heart for it, as well as great tactical knowledge and skill.
  
  
• Soldier:(infinite) these are the regular pack members that are fit enough and of the appropriate age to fight. They are the lowest within the pack defense and offense, taking orders from all those higher up, including Alphas, Betas, and Commanders
  
  
• Pup:(infinite) Though not an actual pack position, this is note worthy. This marks the growth stage of any Garoux, from birth to three years old. They begin their training as soldiers and pack wolves as soon as they are old enough to leave the den. Among the training is hunting, stalking, battle and tactics, loyalty and if the Alpha's feel it is necessary, reading, writing and multiple languages.
  
  
• Scout(1-3) The Scout's job is all in the name, they are in charge of scouting out food, shelter, where enemies are, and finding and escorting new members to the pack-lands. This doesn't mean the Scout has any say over who joins the pack, they just bring loners who consider it to the Alpha/s or Beta/s. Depending on the current situation of the pack the Scout takes on whichever of these tasks are necessary. Scout's must be agile, have very good sight, smell, and hearing, and be socially skilled.
  
  
• Sage(1-2) The Sage is a rank that many times a pack will go without. It is a title that can only be held by the eldest member of the pack and the job entitles the memory of the pack. Sages are highly respected for their knowledge and the only time there is more than one is while the first is dying and another is preparing to take his place.
  
  
• Nurse:(1-3) A kindhearted wolf with a knowledge of wounds and how they heal. They are usually female and often take the role of aiding the Alphess with her pups if needed along with looking after the wounded. Usually they know a good deal about herbs and some have had medical schooling.
  
  
• Omega:(1) The underdog of the pack, either cowardly, a runt, or a garoux that was demoted for some crime. This rank is as low as they go. Some packs might not tolerate an Omega and would just kill off a garoux in this position.
  

Special Ops;; These are special ranks that are usually only used during times of war or violence.

• Assassin:(1-4) All in the name, they are the most deadly warriors of the pack, usually specialize for advanced recon, assassinations, and/or sabotage. They must be silent killers who are stable enough for the gruesome job not to get to them.
  
  
• Spy:(1-2) In times of war a pack may see it fit to train and have a garoux versed in espionage. The spies spend most of their time in enemy territory and must be very cunning and loyal to their real packs. This is a very dangerous rank for if the spy's cover is blown or they betray their pack they will most likely be killed.
  
  
• Guard:(3-8) When enemy attack is highly likely the Alphas may set a guard to protect the territory. The garoux chosen for this position must be fiercely brave, loyal, and willing to give their lives to protect their pack-lands. The guards must patrol the territory in shifts and keep watch constantly, it can be a very edgy task.
