## Genealogy

Iasion is Demeter’s mate and the father of Clover, Lark and Hare. He is also the older distant relative of Troyus.

## Biography

Iasion was born in the Pahaska Pack. After he dispersed he wandered alone for a long time. Sometime during his time alone he got caught in a storm and ended up actually getting struck by lightning. Researchers found him and saved his life, and gave him a radio collar to keep track of him. After some time he ran into something that injured him and gave him a scar on his muzzle. He first met Demeter one night at Amethyst Mountain not long after, but was chased away by two Beartooth Pack males and didn't stick around to fight back because of his wounds.

## Personality

Iasion is a very gentle and playful wolf. He cares about his family a lot, especially his mate Demeter. When they first met he was a little shy, especially when Demeter asked about his scars, but playful. He doesn’t like when someone is being nosy and was hesitant to tell Demeter about his fear of lightning and the reason why, but he appreciates company and the fact that someone cares for him. Iasion encouraged Demeter’s decision to move territory because of Abyss, he was also capable of handling quick change of plans, same when he also stayed calm during their sudden den floods and was forced out to live on the move. Iasion is the more practical of him and Demeter, and even though he’s pretty laidback with keeping a strong territory, he knows it’s important and is always on the lookout for stranger wolves. He is very protective of Demeter. He loves her deeply and knows her carefree personality can make her run into trouble, so he’s usually acting as a shield for her and rushing to her aid whenever she needs help. Iasion hates thunderstorms ever since that unfortunate time he got struck by lightning, and his mate quest was to sleep inside of the den to keep his pups safe from the thunder. His mate quest was completed, though it gave them severe problems with fleas.

## Former pack

Iasion is a former member of the Pahaska Pack, as 19M. 3 years old, he was travelling alone, and ran into Demeter and became her mate, joining the Dawn Moon Pack. The Moon Pack weren’t familiar with the Pahaska Pack at this time, but it is the birth pack of Rosetta’s mate Troyus.

## Trivia

* Iasion was the first wolf to have a radio collar quest.
* Seri often confused his name, and called him “Iverson”.
* Iasion had the same designation as Troyus, Pahaska 19M. This probably meant that Troyus took over Iasion’s position in the pack after he dispersed.
* The story behind Iasion getting struck by lightning was just like his mate's name inspired by greek mythology, in which one of the goddess Demeter's consorts was named Iasion and after falling in love with her he ended up getting smited by Zeus, the god of thunder.
