## Personality

* ***Food-Possessive.*** In his first month of living, he learned how to starve and fight for every piece of meat. His mother only brought less food and often left for days until she came back.  So he was not the type for sharing his food so beware when you decided to come close to him when he is eating. Somethings he is stealing food from wolves who have a lower rank than him.
* ***Untrusting*.** Everyone who is a stranger is someone who can not be trusted. The stranger must first earn his trust. He will even react suspiciously when someone is nice to him.
* ***Stubborn*.** He doesn't like being told to do something the wrong way, he will react aggressively especially when it comes from a stranger.
* ***Impulsive*.** When he reached a kind of level of rage, he becomes impulsive and started to yell at the one who is the target of his anger. But it needs a long time to become him into this state. He will see red and you want to be his target when he is in his rage.
* ***Impatient*.** Whenever he has to teach someone, he will become very impatient. "Learn quick or don't waste my time!"
* ***Awkward around Females.*** He doesn't know how to handle the other gender. They can be very confusing. Sometimes when he is seeing a female he likes, he starts acting very stupidly. Which makes him in his eyes very ridiculous, this makes him angry, and tries to avoid meeting them to not have to interact with them even he likes to talk with them, he just doesn't know-how.
* ***Respectful.*** Duncan can be an idiot to someone but he will respect the elders and the ones who is above him.
* ***Loyal.*** When you win his trust and you like him, like he is, he will be on your side.
* ***Eager to Learn, and Smart.*** He likes to learn things and new techniques to become a better hunter or fighter. He wants to know everything to help the one he loves. Duncan learns quickly because he wants to learn as much as he can.

## Pre-Group History

Duncan was born as a loner, his father doesn't even know he exists because It was just a flirt. When Amira was pregnant with Duncan and his 3 siblings she was near the forest of a pack. Amira birth her pups in the forest. It was a hard time for her to find enough food. Soon she found a strong male wolf, he helped her to find food for herself. They were meeting each other often until they fell in love and wanted to create a new pack but he wouldn't accept pups of another male. So she had to decide to stay with her pups or leave the place without her pups. Amira decided to leave with the male. in the morning she just stood up to leave her den for the last time. Duncan woke up and saw his mother leaving and stood up to follow her. Somehow he knew she would leave...forever. Duncan's siblings were following him too. Amira was meeting her new mate and didn't notice that her pups were behind her. Amira growled at her pups to stay away, the pups jumped off only Duncan stayed where he was and growled back. The male took Duncan by his scruff and wanted to kill him but Amira told him to stop. She couldn't see them die. So they decided to throw them into a crevice to avoid them to follow. Amira looked down at her pups for the last time. They were whining and barking. Duncan looked at his mother with a scary look. Duncan's mother and her mate just left without any words.

Days passed. The pups were cuddling with each other to keep the warmth in the bodies. Duncan howled for calling help. The pups could only survive so long because the rain was falling. In the end, only Duncan survived, he was weak. Suddenly a shadow came above. A wolf gripped him by his scruff and pulled him out of the stone grave. Will, he survive or die like his siblings...?

## Group History

The wolf who'd found him was Balduin of Chandor, and he was quickly rushed back to the pack to get a meal and checked over by healers. Duncan immediately mistrusted him, and everyone else who he was introduced to, and was viciously protective of the food he was given. However, he quickly warmed up to Balduin and accepted him as his father.

However, he was still possessive of food, and needed to get put in his place by Diablo, from whom he tried to take prey. Determined, he ran off to try catching his own...to no avail, since he'd never been trained. As Duncan grew into a juvenile, Balduin gave him hunting lessons. He was eager to try his paw at hunting!

Growing into a young adult, Duncan's lessons continued, but he was more interested in becoming a Bear Totem, and chose to pursue the task. Around this time, he confronted a newcomer to the pack named Yulian - untrusting of her because of her other-pack scent (that of Riverfell). She assured him that she planned to stay, and be loyal to Chandor, and he decided to give her a chance.

He was suspicious of all newcomers - even the newborn pups of Kaen and Polarstag! However, once he saw the tiny pups, he felt a bit less uncertain. Little Lunelle squeaked and nipped his nose, with only gums instead of her baby teeth, she was so little, and he felt seized by the instinct to protect her - to protect all of the pups.

The Bear Totems took over training Duncan for self-defense, and offensive techniques, and generally patrolled the borders with the inexperienced young male. He was fiery and a bit unpredictable, but the steady guidance of the other Bear Totems kept him from making any rash mistakes, such as when he and Arcuza spotted strange white-furred strangers at the border.

He took his duties very seriously, keeping loners away from the borders and training the pups - even when they were tiny - to protect themselves. On more than one occasion, he'd be charged with babysitting, and Kaen's litter would test their developing battle skills on him! Icicle played with his tail; Elderberry clambered across his shoulders; Sleet tugged on his ears! Lunelle would try sneaking off but he managed to stop her from getting very far with a well-placed paw on her tail!

Lunelle was *constantly* trying to escape and getting into trouble, so Duncan took it upon himself to be a 'big brother' figure to her. Once, she came face-to-face with a badger, and instead of running from it, she stood her ground and growled at it. She thought she scared it off, because it turned tail and fled, but Duncan had appeared from behind a tree to snarl at it. He hid himself away before she realized, letting her believe she'd scared off the badger all by herself!

As she grew, Lunelle was interested in becoming a Bear Totem, and as a juvenile, she would go with Duncan on his patrols. He reminded her constantly to stick right at his side. While patrolling, however, they ran into some Hive wolves. Duncan, immediately seized by his promise to protect Lunelle, grabbed her by the scruff and dragged her towards safety, with her protesting all the while that she could run, herself! Their easygoing brother-sister relationship was *severely* strained by this episode.

Both wolves got away from it unscathed, fortunately, though Duncan would get a *stern* talking-to from the alpha, Nadia, and Polarstag was furious about the way he treated Lunelle.

As the Hive encroached more upon Chandor (and the rest of the packs in the Domain), the alpha, Nadia, told the Chandorians that they would go to aid the pack of Mhor in battle. Duncan, of course, volunteered, determined to protect his packmates from the Hive. There were many other wolves in the battle party - aside from Nadia and Duncan, there were three Bear Totems (Mechka, Arcuza, and Dare), six other packmates, Lunelle, and Balduin also joined them.

Things didn't go as expected. Riverfell, who were also supposed to help, had been ambushed previously. Mhor and Chandor fought a patrol of Hive wolves, and many lives were lost. Duncan survived, however. He and the remaining members of the patrol began a somber journey back to Chandor.

The Chandorian war party returned, only to find that their packmates had moved to Aryn in the aftermath of an ambush. While recovering in Aryn, however, Hive General Hex attacked with massive forces. During this battle, Balduin had been fighting against Hive wolf and they ended up near a cliff edge. Balduin almost fell over the edge, but Duncan raced over and rammed the Hive wolf off. However, his opponent, on the way down, sank its teeth into his hind leg, and pulled Duncan over the edge.

As he plummeted downwards, Duncan felt a sense of peace. Though he regretted that Lunelle was still mad at him - that they'd never been able to make amends - he felt it was right to repay Balduin's saving him as a child, with saving *Balduin* as an adult.

Only this time, Duncan wouldn't survive the experience.

As soon as he made contact with the ground, his life ended. Balduin rushed to be at Duncan's side, and desperately tried to revive his son, but no...no, it was too late.

Duncan was gone.

His pack would grieve his loss terribly, as well as the many other deaths incurred in the battle.
