He was the firstborn son of Lycan and Nyx (NPC), nephew to Amara, and father to Jaeger, Leviathan, Minerva, and Cybele, with his late mate Riga. Ragnarok died nobly, killed defending Lidya from an attack by the Hive. He was created and RP'd by AgentSpicy-BBEFUBAR.

## Personality

* ***Fast-talking.*** Rag has issues with white lies. During his youth he learned lying could save him from a beating. He is working on it but it is hard to break the habit.
* ***Smooth***. Very crafty at finding loopholes needed to achieve a goal.
* ***Sneaky***. To steal food water and anything else he would have needed to survive he had to be sneaky. He was very good at it too till he lost his tail.
* ***Loud***. Since he is in a safe place now Rag is a loud boy. He wants to be noticed and he always wants to be near someone.
* ***Klutz***. Being a mess is Rag's game. He trips over paws, his head too big. He is a walking disaster but he smiles so wide he lights up your day with it. He knows laughter and smiles don't bring pain and thus will be a klutz to keep everyone happy.
* ***Powerful***. His body mass promises some power in his life. He will know how to use it and he won't make the same mistakes his family does.
* ***Courageous***. no one knows how he became so brave but Rag would stand in defense of any pup or young wolf before his uncles. It took a lot of courage to be himself, to stand before his tormentors and keep getting back up again.
* ***Guarded***: through trial and errors in his life, rag does reserve the right to ignore any friendly advances. He feels like he had to place the walls up to feel better and to protect himself from being hurt again.
* ***Self-Conscious.*** Ragnarok is very self conscious. The older wolves teased him with his scars and his looks. He knows he doesn't look appealing and always wonders if anybody can truly love him for his looks.
* ***Respectful.*** Everything has an order and Ragnarok respects that order. It was after all beaten into him by his uncle. One such beating caused his lip scar.

## Pre-Group History

Ragnarok was born on a fateful night. It was the night his father was framed for his grandfather's murder. The following days, his mother lost her milk supply due to the stress, watching her son's father go through a trail and finally being banished by the council.

Rag would never know his father and he always believed that his dad abandoned them in their time of need. He grew to hate him and always lived to please his mother.

His grandmother Sarai however and his great grandmother Dionela worked very hard to help him in his early days. With no milk and being a runt, he had to have extra herbs and milk supply via a wet nurse.

He survived the first year of his life before it turned really upside down. His uncles took the pack over, killing anyone that opposed them. That included his mother. Nyx died trying to get Ragnarok out of the hell that was being thrust upon him.

She didn't make it.

Instead Rag was thrown in a cave system with his half sisters and cousins where they had to fight for their food and water. Any back talk was systematically punished. Rag learned the hard way. Holes in his ears, his tail half torn off, scars on his face before he gave up.

In his darkest hour a savior came. His aunt Amara, someone he only heard stories of came to rescue them. She tried so hard but she succeeded in only saving him.

Now he's in the Domain, at his aunt's side safe and sound.

## Group History

When they arrived in Aryn, they were greeted by Riga and Aivar. Aivar was critical of Amara for bringing an outsider into the pack, but Riga stood up for them, and Amara insisted that Aivar run for a Vicar to tend her and Rags's wounds. Riga and Amara brought him to the camp, and Raphael carefully tended to his wounds, helping Ragnarok to feel a bit more comfortable (though he still believed the pack would kill him and Amara, and they'd be safer elsewhere).

Gradually, though, the young male began to feel more comfortable around his packmates. He was quick to become the best of friends with Riga, and was kind enough to play with her young siblings, Barin and Urs. Barin adored Ragnarok! As he and Riga grew closer, Ragnarok began to court Riga, bringing her flowers and spending more time with her. He gained the approval of Kane for his hard work and determination, and respectful narture, and worked with another Warden, Raghaalr, to hunt for the pack. He thought, perhaps, he was destined to be a Courser, and set his paws on that path.

He encountered his father Lycan one night, and accused him of being a coward and a traitor for abandoning him and his mother in Sombra. Lycan wanted to put his son in his place, but Amara intervened and accused Lycan of being as cruel as their brother, and demanded he return to Vale. Ragnarok worked to prove himself in the pack, exercising his skills as a hunter by working as a Courser. He occassionally wandered outside of Aryn territory, into unclaimed lands, to search for large game, and tracked down a boar. He crossed paths with a Chandor she-wolf named Arcuza, and they shared the boar and information about themselves.

Ragnarok accompanied Amara on her journey to Highvalley to visit kin, and was introduced to his grand-uncle Alyan (who also went by Firetip). He was thrilled to meet some extended family members! Upon his return, he discovered that Tzuriel and Shoshana were expecting pups. When they had their litter - Elias, Brielle, and Azhoyel - Amara and Ragnarok sang songs for them.

Ragnarok was haunted by his past, however. He wanted to get revenge on his uncle, who had abused him as a pup, and he'd heard the whispers of a pack of assassins. He brought a ram to the borders of Vektren, and waited. Eventually, he was approached by a scarred female, Nimh, who agreed to bring a wolf to him to complete the assassination. He met Shirubafurea, who agreed to find his uncle and kill him, in exchange for more large game like the ram. The Warden managed to complete his deal with the Vektreni without any problems, fortunately.

Later, he had to lend his strength to Elias, Barin, Dyana, and Daenerys, when Barin was attacked by a band of rogue wolves. Some of the party members held their own better than others, but they definitely needed help, and thanked the One when Kane arrived to save them. After this incident, Ragnarok began to doubt whether he was really capable of being a Courser. He approached Aryn's Lord Alcatraz to ask for some training as a Warden, and Alcatraz agreed.

Ragnarok welcomed Kane's brother Mavis into Aryn when he visited from Vale. He continued courting Riga. And he made amends with his father, who continued to live in Vale.

Things in Aryn turned tragic. Merrill was stolen by outsiders, and for a time, the pack blamed Blutwald exiles. It was only later that Athena discovered it was Vektren who were responsible. Wolves were kidnapped, and Merrill was eventually returned. The others would be held in Vektren for a long time. This meant *war.*

Lycan asked Ragnarok to grant him an audience with Lady Athena, and the pair shared their concerns about Vektren having inside information, proposing Hedge and Merrill as culprits, but Athena reminded them not to doubt their packmates...*or* to fall prey to Vektren mind tricks. She assured them that Hedge was not a threat at this time.

Riga was ambushed at the border when a Vektreni she-wolf named Vieste feigned that she was in peril and in dire need of assistance. Once Riga's guard was down, two more Vektreni, Nimh and Shirubafurea, leapt out and attacked her. Fortunately for Riga, Ragnarok was nearby, as well as Kane and Barin, and they fought the Vektreni she-wolves off. Ragnarok, in a bloodthirsty rage, did not recognize Nimh and Shiru as the Vektreni he had scored a deal with...his attention was fixated on Riga's first attacker, Vieste. He barely managed to keep himself from ripping Vieste apart, and he stayed his fangs only because his focus was Riga.

He helped her back to Aryn's den, and she was tended to by healers. When he first visited her in recovery, though, Ragnarok was stunned by Riga's confession that he had terrified her with his actions. *You've changed*, she accused. Rag, mortified, left, apologizing for being a monster. Amara would speak to Riga about her family's blood curse, that Ragnarok had displayed in this battle, and Riga realized she'd made a grave error judging Ragnarok. She apologized to him a few days later, and he asked her to become his mate. She agreed.

The pair held a wedding, celebrating with the pack, and Lycan had even been able to participate in the ceremony, having left Vale to join Aryn and his son. Shortly thereafter, he met his new cousin, Catalaya. When she was only a couple months old, Catalaya met her brother Wick, and Ragnarok, too, met him, in the snow. He was quite surprised, though he didn't immediately realize that Wick was related to Catalaya. This was also when Cat spoke her first words.

Ragnarok and Riga were happy together, even in the midst of a war. Before long, they were expecting puppies. While on a walk with Riga and Lycan, they found the last member of the missing patrol of wolves, those who had been taken by Vektren: Raghaalr. They brought her home. It wasn't long after Raghaalr was finally returned, that the Vektreni executed their most horrible plan: to kill Athena and Alcatraz.

A patrol was gathered to pursue the Vektreni, who had taken the hearts of the alphas. Ragnarok and his father raced to the borders to fight the Vektreni, with Ragnarok begging his heavily pregnant mate to remain behind, for hers and the pups' safety. Lycan died in the battle, but Ragnarok's grief would not end there.

Riga went into labor shortly after, but things went wrong. Badly wrong. Ragnarok begged Riga to stay alive, to fight, to watch their children grow up, but she was weak. She managed to name their daughters, but quietly died before they could name their sons. Ragnarok, grief-stricken, named the boys: Jaeger and Leviathan.

Though now he was a single father, Ragnarok wasn't alone in raising his children. Amara helped, as did Riga's parents, Eden and Kane. Eden tried to offer the most comfort she could to Ragnarok, but the pair grieved together over Riga's loss, and the delicate Levi, whose life hung in the balance after the trauma of his birth and a genetic disorder of gigantism.

Time passed. His children grew up around him, and Ragnarok, though he still grieved for Riga, managed to stand as one of the pack's highest-ranking Wardens, respected by his packmates. He also discovered that he had kin outside of Aryn - in Chandor, of all packs! He and Amara had stumbled across a young male named Sunrise, and Amara pieced together that Sunrise was, in fact, Lycan's grandson. Ragnarok had an older half-brother, who had sired Sunrise. Ragnarok was excited to learn that he had a nephew, and promised to share everything he could about their family the next time Sunrise had time to meet.

Aryn's war with Vektren ended, with Raphael burning the main den, and a new leader, Cassandra, taking over, ushering in a period of peace and rebuilding. New wolves joined the pack, and Ragnarok was there to greet them. He and a new packmate, Ori Chime, met a frightened she-wolf named Lorarii, and brought her to Aryn.

Some strange threat was building on the borders - strange white wolves who wanted nothing more than to kill pack wolves. Ragnarok investigated with Phanuel, Synnove, and Lorarii, and they discovered half-eaten, rotting corpses of prey animals. He warned the younger wolves with him that they needed to get back to camp - this was clearly a threat, or a warning.

Diplomats from the pack of Xassa came to Aryn, to discuss the white wolf problem. Ragnarok, eager for a chance to spar, goaded one of the diplomats - Zarina - into a quick match. Despite this tendency to coax wolves to spar, he was relied on by many wolves for support. Lorarii, especially, trusted the scarred-up male, and often slept near him to feel safe. He was like a father figure for her, and he welcomed her as a daughter.

The threat from the outside...the Hive...would not be kept at bay forever. Ragnarok was patrolling with Lidya, serving as her guardian while she collected the last of the herbs around before winter set in, when they were ambushed by a group of Hive wolves. Both wolves were severely injured, but Ragnarok managed to hold them at bay long enough for Lidya to flee, to race back to camp, until she could no longer hear the sound of him fighting.

Ragnarok went down fighting, doing his best to protect Lidya. Even though she had sustained injuries, she had survived. Ragnarok, tragically, was torn apart by the Hive. He is amongst Aryn's Honored Dead, now, and with his beloved Riga in the Song.
