Yeeees bring the handsome wolf man! And all the changes you suggest sound perfect for him. He might also have a slightly stronger tendency to guide and help people... especially dumb protagonists.
Also, because I'm incapable of doing these without recommending at least ONE other potential essence: William Tell. Yes yes, apple on his son's head, but the reason WHY he did it is because he wouldn't bow to an effigy a pompous noble erected. So the noble devised the contest; if you can shoot the apple off your son's head, I won't execute either of you. He draws two bolts, shoots the apple on the first shot, and then when asks says that if he'd hit his son, the second bolt would've been for the noble. I don't know why, but that kind of resonates with Eustace's willingness to defy his superiors to assassinate Lyria.
So for that essence, mountaineer's clothing and likely abilities, his rifle possibly turning into a crossbow, enhanced sniping capabilities, and protectiveness towards young people and defiance for authority.
