Viper

Stonefield's other commanding leader and Kraven IV's partner.

## Biography

Viper was born and raised to become a higher-up, even in her new environment she helps her partner keep order within the clan and takes no shit from anyone.

### Personality

A mix of stern leader and ice queen. Will not hesitate to put anyone in their place, regardless if you're an endangered species.

### Faults

She has an old injury that acts up occasionally.

## History

She was born in the arctic area under Crash leadership, and was competing with Ire for the position of leader alongside Crash. Viper was definitely a considered choice, so it was no surprise that during a hunting trip, Ire manage to get her lost in a blizzard and falling into a river that would carry her far out of the arctic range and, surprisingly, near Stonefield.

There, she was found by Naaruh, who alerted Kraven IV, and they brought her into Stonefield to warm her up and tend to her injuries. It took her some time to adjust to her new environment, and eventually she was welcomed into Kraven's numbers, and after helping him assert his authority, he decided to make her into his partner, where she became commander alongside him.

## Relations

### Crash

Her old leader, and someone she still thinks about.

### Fury

Her last surviving littermate. She does learn later that she took the position as Crash's mate and even drove out Ire for her misdeed.

### Ire

Viper greatly dislikes this female, but can't really do anything since she's now the mate of Vane and is now an enforcer.

### unnamed dog

One who was hired to be a child caretaker and pretty much raised Ridge and Kaine as well as the rest of Brackenridge's children. She's the only one seemingly 'brave enough' to argue with him. When asked why she won't leave, she refuses to comment.

Kraven IV

Kraven IV is both the regent of Haven and commanding leader of Stonefield, one of the main characters in the **Into The Whispering Woods** series due to his many appearances.

## Biography

In Vildmark, Kraven is the commanding leader of the Stonefield Clan, keeping the other groups in check and helping low numbers rebuild back to stability. With his siblings working as enforcers, he keeps control in Stonefield to keep everything in balance, preventing over-hunting and breaking up skirmishes.

### Personality

He's stern and serious, but cares about those under his protection, from his family to members of his clan and his employees in his regency. He takes his various jobs very seriously, but is compassionate when the need arises. Certainly a lot more reasonable than the Governor of southern Haven.

### Strengths

* In Haven, he's a massive predator, dwarfing over even the largest bears and can break up skirmishes with little effort.
* His commanding presence alone is enough to stop quarrels.
* Berserker. Uses it to boost his strength if needed.

### Faults

* Berserker can cause him to lose control.

### Fears

* Something happening to his kids.
* Losing control of his berserker state.

## Skill

### Berserker

Can Strength, endurance, and speed increase, but at the risk of losing control and going on a destructive violent spree, destroying anything and killing anyone in his path. At the least, he can channel enough of the anomaly for increased strength, but the risk is always present, and the more it happens, the more likely he'll lose control.
The Masquerade

The Masquerade are mysterious creatures that live in the Quarantine Zone in Haven. As far as records claim, only two types have been witnessed.

The one seen more often (but not commonly) are described as familiar and animal-like, but very alien-like when seen up close. They become hostile when approached by non-lupine Haven residents.

A recent discovery revealed smaller ones, not as animal-like and much faster in movement. It's theorized that these beings are the source of the strange bewitching music that plays at night.

## Description

The first type of 'Veiled Ones' were described as animal-like in appearance, but strange in a way that feels alien to anyone viewing these strange creatures. Often times these beings can be observed carrying around large pieces of wood or metal and get hostile if non-wolves approach them.

The recently discovered type are very elusive, but the few glimpses tell us they're smaller that the first type, more elegant in appearance, and desire to cover themselves in as much clothing as possible, almost looking like shrouds than anything.

## History

The Masquerade, along with the similar-looking Nightwalker, were first discovered shortly after Kraven IV became Regent, Nightwalkers being the most commonly seen, both in and out of the Quarantine Zone. It was reported that one of these creatures was involved with, or even orchestrated the attack on a family of dogs, leaving only three survivors and several orphans.

The Masquerade type were only just recently discovered.

### Name Origin

They got the general name '**The Masquerade'** because of their obscure appearance, after wrangler Trey confirmed that Nightwalkers weren't real animals.

## Sighting

They're most commonly seen in the Quarantine Zone, especially at night.

## Relations With Other Creatures

### The Wolves

While the wolves are savage, they seem to flee at the presence of a Type One, but obey the commands of a shrouded without question.

### The Nightwalkers

The front line soldiers of the The Masquerade's various assaults. The two seem to have a strong symbiotic relationship with each other and help each other at all times.

## Relations

### Symphony

His mate and mother of his two litters of children. Even after she up and vanished he still waits for her return.

### His Children

His livelyhood and the one thing keeping him going after Symphony's disappearance.

### Lord Brackenridge Von Ulfstein

Concord really hates this guy. He views the guy as a controlling monopolizing tyrant who treats those who live in his region like labor slaves and feels entitled to take as much tax as he likes. Concord does feel satisfaction for winning TWO lawsuits against this guy.

### Ridge

The boy Melody befriended. Concord was initially indifferent towards this guy, especially since he was the son of the tyrant governor, but started feeling sympathy for the lad when he tried to overdose on sleeping pills.
Faux Dog

One of the few cryptids to be unconfirmed, as they can hide their appearance with view distortion, appearing as shadows or ghosts or even just blurs. No one even knows if they really exist.

## Description

This cryptid was never really confirmed as it's difficult to view with the naked eye when not in the Gray Zone. Some see them as ghosts, shadows, or even strange blurs.

On the rare occasion that someone sees these creatures as they are (usually when exposed to a rift), some say these creatures are strange, almost semi-bipedal in stance but can run on four legs with surprising speed.

It's believed that faux dogs can hide as normal dogs, in both Vildmark AND Haven, but no one knows how.

The main way to identify a faux dog in disguise is to find the one dog with no odor, as these beasts have no scent, and bring nothing but bad luck to anyone unknowingly harboring.

## History

Faux Dogs started appearing since the second Gray Zone merging event, after Kraven II disappeared and reappeared several years later, bringing with him the first known Faux Dog, who vanished without a trace into the dark forests.

### Name Origin

Faux Dogs got their names for impersinating known species of Vildmark wild dogs.

> *artificial or imitation; **fake**:*
>
>

## Sighting

Since they can hide their appearance and scent, these creatures are even harder to describe than Wood Beasts. The only one who ever saw a Faux Dog in the flesh was Kraven II before he was suddenly returned to Vildmark, in which he then saw a black sun dog with the same eerie red eyes as the weird dog he saw in the Gray Zone.

## Relations With Other Creatures

### Gray Hounds

Strange dogs that seem to follow Faux Dogs around, acting like the subordinates to an alpha or even a faithful pack of war dogs to a soldier. These relations are always beneficial. If you see a group of Gray Hounds, odds are a Faux Dog is not far away.

Axel

here

## Biography

coming soon
Raised by his father, Axel is a boy who wants to play, but also wants to please. He's almost always with his best friends Kraven V and Genesis, who he has a small crush on. When not with his friends, he's often following his father around whenever he's present, or even bothering the seemingly loner dog Solace for some reason or checking out visitors and asking a million questions. He also likes to watch birds fly and wonders if his wings could work.

## History

Axel was born to Kyre after a slightly unwilling encounter with Naaruh back when Naaruh was considered a trespasser to Stonefield's range. Axel was the only survivor with the other being a stillborn female, most-likely resulted from Kyre's ever increasing stress after the encounter. Eventually Kyre up and left the group, leaving her pup behind to be raised by Naaruh, who had just gotten accepted back into the clan.

It took Axel some time to get past the grief of losing his mom, but surprisingly accepted Naaruh as a parent rather quickly, and became fast friends with Kraven V and his sister Genesis, having formed an attachment to the latter in particular.

## Notes

* He's patterened after the South American Gray Buzzard Eagle.
Death Seeker

Known as 'Sentinels' or 'Silent Hunter' by Gray Zone residents, the Vildmark residents know them as the Death Seekers or even the Banshees, given their loud piercing screams in such a silent world. These creatures solely exist in the Gray Zone, but sightings of them in the Forest of Death have been recorded.

## Description

For the longest time, Vildmark residents thought these merciless beasts were non-existent or exclusive to the Gray Zone, which was also thought to be nonexistent. Only Kraven II saw a Death Seeker up close and described it as a strange tall creature, dark in color with bright eyes, emitting a loud shriek as it charged with what looked like a sharp tool, seemingly having no sense of self-preservation as it attacked without any regards for its own safety.

## History

The first pack of Death Seekers were encountered when Kraven II was unexpectedly warped to the Gray Zone during a merging event, where Kraven II wandered for several years, seemingly trapped in a timeless plain where he didn't die from usual natural means like dehydration or hunger or even his injuries, which could've gotten infected.

Just a few days in the Gray Zone, he found himself in a desolate forest, where he suddenly got attacked by an unseen enemy, a deep agonizing pain ripping right through his chest and spilling his red blood all over the colorless grass. One strange creature charged at him and managed to leave a nasty gash on his shoulder, but Kraven II swatted it away, but another one struck him in the head with a club.

Luckily some strange creature showed up, driving away these strange cryptids just in time for the Gray Zone to drop both Kraven II and the unknown savior into Vildmark.

## Sighting

Asides from the word of Kraven II, these creatures have reportedly been sighted in The Forest Of Death, a location no one is brave enough to approach. Others think that the creatures sighted in The Forest of Death are misplaced Wood Beasts, but Death Seekers are too quiet to be Wood Beasts.
Scourge's Desert

### Biome

Tree Savanna, Grass Savanna, Semiarid Desert, Dry Steppe, Xeric Shrubland, Arid Desert, Temperate Steppe

contains nameless dunes, nameless brushlands, nameless oasis, nameless forest and nameless canyon.

### Dunes of Death

A wide expansion of sand and dried salt beds.

### Suntouched Savanna

Grass, brush, savanna I guess. Maybe a few trees.

Vildmark Anomalies

The various Anomalies that surround Vildmark, from afflictions to strange events. Hang onto your seatbelts!

## The White Death

White creatures with milky white eyes, razor sharp teeth and a hunger for the flesh of their kin. Fire's the only thing that can kill the body, but it takes an even stronger power to kill the soul.

## Cursed Blood

Demons if you will. This anomaly is ancient, and doesn't just effect Vildmark beings. Some are blessed, at best, with increased strength or speed, or maybe even expanded lifespan. At worst, there's the voice that either tells you that you need to kill someone, or that you left the oven on when you left. This also has the lovely opportunity to mix with Startouched.

### Known 'Cursed' Individuals

* Kraven Lineage (Kraven IV)
* Loyal
Bane Wolf

such strange wolves...

## Description

Bane wolves are black with white eyes, often mistaken for silhouettes in the darkness when really that's just what they look like. They're solid to the touch and feel cool and smooth. They literally look like wolf silhouettes.

## History

Bane wolves are believed to be defective gray hounds in a way. After several popped up, then were let loose in the expansive forest of the Gray Zone where they formed packs and would cause problems for displaced Vildmark creatures.

### Name Origin

**Bane**

1. a person or thing that ruins or spoils.
2. a deadly poison (often used in combination, as in the names of poisonous plants)
3. death; destruction; ruin.
4. Obsolete. that which causes death or destroys life.

**Wolf**

1. any of several large carnivorous mammals of the genus Canis, of the dog family Canidae, especially C. lupus, usually hunting in packs, formerly common throughout the Northern Hemisphere but now chiefly restricted to the more unpopulated parts of its range.

Being rare Gray Zone fauna, these wolf-like creatures destroy everything in their path, even causing problems for Faux Dogs, Thyrians and Gray Hounds. The one creature they fear is often used to keep them away from the main hub of the Gray Zone's operations.

## Sighting

Gray Zone forests, often by displaced Vildmark creatures like Kraven II, who saw glimpses of them before being assaulted by Death Seekers.

## Relations With Other Creatures

### Death Seeker

The one creature that bane wolves actively fear, even dispersing their large numbers to avoid these apex predators. Every so often a bane wolf might take to following one of these beings, but its an uncommon sight.
Vildmark

The massive wild world that Wildbloods come from.

## Geography

## Flora and Fauna

The flora is colorful, vibrant, lively, sturdy and sometimes carnivorous.

## Known Residents

Skinless

Strange creatures rumored to take the skins of deceased animals, and are fast and agile.

## Description

Up until recent years, sightings of the Skinless were extremely rare given how fast and agile these creature were, moving at near lightning speeds and being difficult to track. In those recent years one individual was able to get evidence pointing out that the Skinless were tall, bipedal and would steal skins from dead creatures and wear them.

It's theorized that they live in small packs since there's multiple tracks found in heavily forested areas.

## History

The Skinless were only recently discovered.

### Name Origin

It takes the skin of other creatures and is witnessed wearing the skins for unknown reasons.

## Sighting

all I saw was a blur

They're often sighted in forests, jungles or even high cliffs and mountainous areas given their extreme agility and speed. Several have attempted to track them and few even tried to hunt them with no success.

## Relations With Other Creatures

### Wood Beast

Wood Beast and Skinless rarely cross paths, but in the rare moments they do, it often ends with a scuffle, with the skinless stealing the Wood Beasts' kill's skin and escaping, or the Wood Beast even injuring the Skinless. But as said, encounters are rare, both for witnesses and for each creature.
Zombie

here

coming soon

## History

His mom wasn't allowed to leave the pack or territory, which consisted of relatives. Grandpa was strict and would drag any stray member back if they tried to leave even for a second. Mama Mercy was unable to find a male and most strangers were driven away by the overly aggressive patriarch, so Mercy was given two choices. Ignore her instincts, or just make due with what she had available.

In the end, she ended up choosing her uncle, who was initially hesitant to go through with her request, but eventually gave in to pressure, which resulted in a small litter, most dead except for one, a wee little pup named Zombie. Mercy was a doting mom to her odd little pup and dad/great-uncle had to juggle between the training he was forced to endure as well as helping Mercy raise her little offspring with assistance from his sister Nightmare, who is Mercy's mother.

Grandpa patriarch, also known as 'Devil's Backbone', was very displeased when he found out about Zombie but his own family wouldn't let him 'put the pup out of its misery', so he became a passive aggressive dick. Given the parentage, Zombie had some problems in the head, being easily distracted by the simplest of things, a limp, and couldn't pay attention very well.

However, as doting of a mom as Mercy was, the pup's lack of focus would cost her dearly, when Zombie slipped away from mom to chase a pretty butterfly, but bumped into a not-friendly neighbor, Bones tried to save the kid, but one step was enough and the pup didn't survive the encounter. Mercy was distressed, and Bone's father, for once, kicked Bones out of the pack, intentionally for good, but became distressed after initiating the test and finding his remaining children unable to use the gift.

Zombie was given a burial along with the other deceased family members, Mercy still mourns his loss, but has started a family with someone else.
Kaine

Ridge's younger half brother and constant bodyguard.

## Biography

Kaine is Ridge's shadow. Always near, silent. He seldom says a word and is viewed as aggressive.

### Personality

It's hard to read a book that's locked up tight.
He's quiet, stern and looks perpetually pissy.

## History

Born along with two sisters between Brackenridge and a female wolf. The wolf unfortunately died during childbirth and Kaine and his sisters were dropped off with one of Brackenridge's other wives to raise. He was brought up with Ridge, and Brackenridge decided to step in and teach him skills. However, these skills weren't good enough and he was scratched off of Brackenridge's heir-roster, and was instead trained to be Ridge's constant loyal bodyguard.

### Overdose

Unfortunately his loyalty to Ridge was too high, so much so that he only listened to Ridge. He had heard of Ridge's plight with Melody wanting kids, and Brackenridge vaguely threatening him for even thinking of touching her, and Kaine decided to take matters into his own hands.

Of course Brackenridge found out Melody was pregnant, and was extremely displeased to learn that Kaine was in fact, the sire of her babies. Kaine is unaware that Melody violently miscarried the litter, and was also left unaware that Ridge tired to overdose on sleeping pills, distracting Kaine with some music to make sure he wouldn't be stopped. Ridge, however, was saved just in time, and Kaine was punished badly for 'failing at his job'.

Token

here

## Biography

Despite his frail skinny appearance and physical disability, Token is the strongest wrangler under Kraven's command, so strong in fact, that he wears a shock collar to control his sudden moods. He works on the team that finds and captures the wildbloods that Trey's squad is sent to confirm, and given Token's incredible strength, he's often the one wrestling with beasts three times his size to subdue them. He views the Wrangler occupation as a competitive sport and winning is the only thing that suits him.

He greatly dislikes it when he's given any task that's lower than threat level: Variskir, as he feels it's insulting his capabilities.

### Personality

He's very competitive, hotheaded and basically the occupational version of a high-school football jock. He's territorial about high level threats and gets mad when someone else is given a task before he was, and even more pissed when he has to handle a low threat level.

### Faults

* Was born with an illness that was eating away at his muscle mass. He has to have weekly doctor visits to keep it under control.

## Skill

### Incredible strength

* Strength that rivals even the biggest of beasts in Haven, granting him a position as marauder-class wrangler.

Yeneth

Yeneths are an apex predator ranging from the forested areas to the cold arctic and even the dry deserts. Rumors of other expansions are just rumors.

### Evolution

Despite being created as a hybrid, the Yeneths have evolved and adapted to various environments, and because of their structure would go on to become an apex predator.

### Population Structure

Yeneths often form large social groups typically lead by the strongest, the numbers and members never staying consistent as many come and go, and any cubs born may grow and go their own way to form their own groups.

Because of this, there's a large number of Yeneths, almost threatening to overpopulate.

### Hybridization

Yeneths were the result when the now extinct species known as Aetherians and Yenas created the first hybrids, and these hybrids would go on to form the species known as Yeneths, adapting to environments and forming social groups, thus making them a considerable threat rivaled only by the Variskir species.

## Description

Big bulky almost bear-like beasts with large teeth and, strangely, wings and a large flashy feather crest. They also have bear-like claws.

### Anatomy

Their posture is a strange mix of bear and hyena, bulky front and small back, with two pairs of wings not suited for flight, but good for gliding and agility.

### Size

They're roughly the size of brown bears, though the cave and tundra breeds are significantly stockier in build, while the deserts are more slender.

### Fur

Thick, the arctics having very heavy coats, and deserts having smooth coats.

### Other

Their feathers range from dull and dark (deserts), to pale (arctic) and also vibrant (timber).

## História

Depois de anos de combate e caçadas, a trégua entre lobos e homens veio quando Red Wolfrick subiu ao trono, seu melhor amigo, Adrik, era um lobo porém era leal a cidade e a Aliança que ele tanto ansiava fazer parte. Com o consentimento de Juan Sebastian ele começa a sua vida regrada junto aos seus irmãos de caça, cuidando da vigilância de Grisel e principalmente, controle das outras alcateias que viam isso como uma afronta a tradição lupina.

Mesmo com todo o autocontrole, as maquinações e ervas dos mercadores Deka o fizeram se transformar em pleno Festival da Colheita, transformando o vivido festival em uma caçada que duraria meses e terminaria com a morte de boa parte de sua alcateia e seu refugio em terras Simeris. Mesmo com apenas três de seus lobos, Adrik mantém-se orgulhoso de ser um lorde de Grisel e mesmo banido, ainda luta para proteger o povo das garras afiadas dos outros alfas.
Rook

Melody's cousin and ever present aide.

### Personality

Rook is Melody's cousin, their dads being brothers, but barely knowing their moms (Rook's mom was working multiple jobs while Melody's mom up and vanished). Rook typically has a secluded lifestyle outside of helping Melody with daily tasks such as hygiene, traversing stairs and adjusting her crutches and braces. When he has the free time to do what he wants, it's typically playing video games, talking to internet friends and watching videos of the wranglers in action, his favorite being Trey for some reason, even adopting Trey's sense of style out of admiration. However, he prioritizes his cousin's concerns over his own, even neglecting his own birthday to make sure she can hang out with friends.
Wood Beast

Also known as Thunder Beasts or Killing Beasts, these strange creatures are reclusive to where they're rarely ever seen, only heard.

## Description

The wood beast earned the title because of the very few sightings or glimpses caught by creatures that survived the encounters. They're often described as tall tree-like creatures covered in long green grass or moss or even twigs. Their ominous presence is often announced by the fleeing omens and harbingers, and it's often advised to just run.

## History

The wood beasts have been documented since the era of Kraven II, just shortly after the shadow dog alpha vanished without a trace.

### Name Origin

The wood beast earned its names for various reasons.

* Wood Beast = its supposed tree/bush-like appearance.
* Thunder Beast = The loud deafening sound it makes.
* Killing Beast = It's a remorseless\* killing machine.

## Sighting

They're often (if rarely) sighted near heavily forested areas, but travelers have stories of Sand Beasts and even Arctic Wood Beasts.

## Relations With Other Creatures

### Bush Curs

Wood Beasts are one of the few cryptids that travel with strange dogs, long thick-coated dogs that have barely any sentience and swarm their prey in large numbers, often leading the Wood Beast to a trapped victim.

### Skinless

Wood Beast and Skinless rarely cross paths, but in the rare moments they do, it often ends with a scuffle, with the skinless stealing the Wood Beasts' kill's skin and escaping, or the Wood Beast even injuring the Skinless. But as said, encounters are rare, both for witnesses and for each creature.

### Other Wood Beasts

Much to anyone's surprise, a sole survivor of a Wood Beast attack managed to witness an entire pack of Wood Beasts, and even what they described to be several smaller Wood Beasts, assumed to be juveniles. Unlike the adults, these smaller Wood Beasts were witnessed to be observing the adults' hunting session, learning important survival skills for the future.

Sarkaas Beast

x

## Description

Sightings range from 'just a bit bigger than a yeneth' to 'when I saw it emerge from the ocean, the water receded.' The descriptions are comparable to some presently extinct carnivorous mammals, though no one believes they can become big enough to raise ocean levels. Asides from this variation in size, their most notable feature are their jaws, which are said to be strong enough to crush rocks.

## History

The first sightings of the Sarkaas Beast popped up around the time before the Darkest Night, no one honestly knows where these things came from, but with the supposed sighting of a gargantuan, it's believed they live near coastlines or off the mainland somewhere.

### Name Origin

Name supposedly originated from Sarkaas Coast, a name that faded overtime after the moonsickness plague died down.
*Also a play on the mispronunciation of 'andrew**sarchus**'.*

## Sighting

There have been few sightings, even fewer confirmed evidence. The most common amongst this is the sighting of the 'slightly bigger than a yeneth', though the rumors of the gargantuan one persist.
Yanko Aradraug

## História

Que Rabay Aradraug tinha uma preferência por manter relacionamentos em cada porto que passava, isso não era um segredo, a maior parte dos seus filhos foram gerados durante viagens e missões. Luce Roxa é de Palantor, no norte da Baia de Draugiest e, mesmo grávida de um herdeiro dos Aradraug, ela fugiu e se escondeu para poder criar seu filho sozinho, fora da influência de seu pai.

Ela, mais do que uma bela mulher, era também uma bruxa adepta de Encantamentos e o próprio nascimento de Yanko é repleto de momentos em que a magia se fez presente. Nascido no lago perto da vila em que eles moravam, ela entoava cânticos para ele dormir e o ensinava a não ferir as criaturas, por mais pequenas que elas sejam.

*"[...] lembro uma vez que eu fui envenenado por uma cobra e minha mãe fez um feitiço para que o veneno saísse do meu corpo, evaporando pela minha pele, depois que eu melhorei eu fiquei com ódio da cobra e fui procura-la e minha mãe impediu que eu a matasse. “Não estou criando um matador de animais” ela me disse e explicou que eu tinha que entender que se vingar de um animal que apenas se defendia era uma coisa muito errada e por isso eu deveria entender o que o animal estava com medo. Depois disso ela me mandou cuidar de um pássaro que que perdeu um ninho, pus o nome do pássaro de Vermeninho e cuido dele até hoje." - Diário de Yanko Aradraug*

A vida na vila era pacata e costumeiramente Yanko sai para vistar as outras vilas, ele gostava de fazer amizade e principalmente de cortejar as meninas em suas viagens. Em uma noite acalorada em outra vila, ele acordou de sobressalto ouvindo a sua mãe pedindo ajuda, ele voltou imediatamente para casa mas já era tarde demais.

A vila estava em chamas, as pessoas que não estavam queimando estavam sendo degoladas pelos cavaleiros de armadura cinzenta, sangrando em seus braços, Luce se despediu de seu filho, pedindo para que ele fosse para o lago onde nascera, para poder completar o ritual que ela começara 18 anos atrás. Infelizmente não foi possível, imerso nas águas frias ele pode ouvir os cavaleiros passarem ao lado, o relinchar dos cavalos e a lança atravessar seu corpo e tingir a água do lago em vermelho.

Yanko acordou dias depois, na marge do lago, a dor em seu peito mostrava a marca da perfuração da lâmina, agora cicatrizado pelos fungos na água que cauterizaram o ferimento. Retornando para o que sobrou de sua vila, para a casa onde vivera sua vida ser agora reduzida a escombros, ele encontrou uma pequena caixinha de jóias feita de metal e dentro dela um brasão e uma carta, que explicava quem era o seu pai e, se no caso de sua mãe não poder protege-lo do mundo, que ele o procurasse.

Resoluto, Yanko caminhou para o sul, em direção a capital de Grisel juntamente com as poucas coisas que ele tinha, o brasão de seu pai, a carta de sua mãe e seu fiel pardal vermelho.

Crash

Long-time leader of the Silver Seekers.

## Biography

Crash is the long-standing leader of the Silver Seekers clan up in the Greater North. Like Kraven IV's group, it expands to other species as well, but is more focused on survival rather than preservation.

### Personality

A survivalist, especially one with a disability in a place where smell and hearing are almost useless. Crash is sturdy and, like most leaders, uses his brute strength and his wits to keep charge of his clan.

### Strengths

* Yeneth brute strength.
* Acute hearing and smell, even in a cold world where they would be rendered useless.

## Skill

### Acute senses

His hearing and smell are sharply acute, even able to work despite the hostile arctic territory he calls home.

## History

Not much is know about Crash. Some say he used to be *half blind* when he was younger, and fully lost sight during a leadership dispute. He didn't let that stop him, and now has a group that could go toe-to-toe with Kraven IV if he felt like it, but he doesn't.
