don't bother with the trace,

"Normally, it is my alpha." He thought back to all the lessons his mother and father taught him about hiring out his services. "But Jinx told me she rather kill herself. But if she ever needs me, I'll kill for her. In other cases, sometimes my family was hired by outsiders to killl within a pack, but I rarely do that anymore. Too many risks." Kaname sighed, thinking back to that day when the pack discovered his family...

He swept that memory to the back of his mind where it belonged, and answered Lecter's second question. "The pack my family originated from was in constant war with another for over three generations. The alpha needed a way to kill his enemies without hurting his pack in the process. So he sent his best scouts to kill the son of his rival's alpha. Those were my grandparents' grandparents. It was successful and those scouts were used to kill the rest of those the alpha thought were dangerous. Soon the war was over, but the scouts continued to be used as assassins. But then, we were banished by the alpha's son who inherited the pack at the alpha's death. We became wandering assassins then, offering our services for food and security."
