That's the sole reason for this particular Faunus character, to actually show the Faunus as more than just humanoid with some animal traits.

Hm, in hindsight, I should say it's more of his Faunus culture. And to be fair, we don't have many faunus shown as main characters, let alone what it means to be a faunus. He knows he is a faunus and has wolf instincts, but he wants to know more about his heritage, father's line, and what all that means for him as a hunter in training.
