Eclipse (known as 1m, formerly 38m by biologists) was a he wolf and one of the founders of the Dawn Pack. He was formerly of the Prospect Peak pack, but dispersed at the age of 2 at the wilderness of Amethyst Mountain. He met Dawn 1f (who had recently left her newly formed Dawn Pack to find mate.) He fell in love with him and agreed to become the first breeding male of the Dawn Pack, beside her. Eclipse and Dawn become mates. He had six litters with his mate, Dawn. However, he passed away in his sleep when he was 8 years old and joined Star Pack. He was reunited with his deceased pups. He waited patently for his 8 year old mate to join her. It didn't take long for her to join, as she got her last dream from Star Pack and passed away in her next sleep.

## History

Eclipse was born to two unnamed wolves of the Prospect Peak Pack, which has been in Yellowstone National Park ever since 1995 (wolf reintroduction event.) He distanced himself from his parents.

At the age of 2, instead of becoming a subordinate wolf, he dispersed, to find or start his own pack. He met Dawn, the founder female of a newly founded Dawn Pack (from the former packs, Moon Pack and Sun Pack combining.) He fell in love with her and agreed to become her mate and the breeding male of the Dawn Pack. He and Dawn hunted elk together in Amethyst Mountain. When they were ready to rejoin the rest of the Dawn Pack and have pups, they left Amethyst Mountain for Slough Creek. He was excited to go to a new place, as he haven't been anywhere except for Amethyst Mountain. He warmly greeted the wolves of the Dawn Pack, including Crow, the former breeding male of the disbanded Moon Pack. In April, he had 7 pups with his mate, Dawn. Their names were Atlas I, Comet II, Holly I, Ash I, Lark, Autumn and Twilight. Unlike Dawn, he distanced from his pups and she did most of the defending and feeding. Eventually, when Eclipse's pups become old enough, he and his pack travelled to the Summer Hunting Grounds, where he spent the summer with his pups. When Autumn came, Eclipse and his pack travelled to Tower Fall, where he and his mate, Dawn taught his pups how to hunt. His first litter pups become yearlings and eventually, it was time for Eclipse's pack to travel back to Slough Creek.

On Eclipse's second litter, Crow, the old former breeding wolf passed away. His mate, Dawn was devastated, as Crow was her mentor. However, Eclipse comforted her, knowing how important he was to her. Eclipse had 4 more litters with Dawn. He was absolutely horrified when his daughter of his third litter, Sayora I was killed by a wolf of his former pack. He now had hatred of his former pack and was glad that he left it when he was 2. He was also very sad when his pups, Dove I and Hazel were killed by coyotes.

## Death

On Eclipse's sixth litter, he passed away in his sleep just before he and Dawn left with his pups for the Summer Hunting Grounds. He was 8 years old at the time. When he arrived in Star Pack's hunting grounds, he was shocked to find out that he was dead and he wished that his mate, Dawn was with him. Luna (the goddess of the moon and death) told Eclipse that she had a destiny to fufill to keep her pups safe. Eclipse waited paitently for his mate to join him in Star Pack. However, It didn't take long for her to join, as she got her last dream from Star Pack and passed away in her next sleep. Eclipse was happily reunited with his mate, Dawn and his pups, Sayora I, Dove I and Hazel.
