 Mythology's Mything Links: Eastern Europe / Pan Slavic Traditions & Beliefs
Slavic mythology has a strong focus on the sun, warmth, light, birds, fire (and firebirds), epic victories, and brightly painted cosmic bird-eggs.
The opposing polarity, the dark, the dead, the cold, the gloomy forests, snakes, drowned spirits (usually female or children), and ruthless hags are feared, even demonized (especially under the influence of Christianity), yet many fairy tales indicate that if this darker world is treated with cautious respect, one will fare well.
Such an assumption is a consequence of the paucity of knowledge about Slavic mythology.

I think combining some wolfy traits with what we know of the Captain's personality, perhaps with a dash of the werewolf mythology of your choice would make for a unique and slightly more believable take on the whole werewolf mating thing than usual.
The best way to portray the Captain in a fanfic that exposes sides of him which we have never seen would be to combine his known personality traits with some of the characteristics of a real wolf and a lot of inspiration from werewolf mythology.

Our new imaginative stories are now told in nurseries, listened to at evening when the children assemble in the fire-light to hear tales from their parents, and eagerly read by boys at school.
This addition of life, or of some of the powers of life, to tree and well and boulder-stone, to river and lake and hill, and sword and spear, is common to all mythologies, but the special character of each nation or tribe modifies the form of the life-imputing stories.
The ancient myth said that the nine hazels of wisdom grew round a deep spring beneath the sea, and the hazels were the hazels of inspiration and of poetry—so early in Ireland were inspiration and poetry made identical with wisdom.
