As a pup, he was very curious and playful. And as a young adult, Nimueh was more focused and thought friends or fun to be a distraction from duties.

## History

### Birth & Childhood

Nimueh was born to Zarek and Naomi, the previous leaders of the Eastern pack. He had three other siblings, two brothers and one sister, who unfortunately died two days after birth. He was the only one left alive and well. Naomi had gotten sick during the pregnancy and Nimueh’s siblings got affected by it the most. Nimueh proved to be the strongest out of the four pups. Zarek and Naomi had hard times recovering from the death of the pups but stayed strong for Nimueh.

Nimueh had quite a normal childhood. While happy and satisfied with his life, Nimueh often asked his parents why he doesn’t have siblings like everyone else. This made Zarek and Naomi feel very upset but answered calmly, that they just weren’t blessed with more than one; but they loved Nimueh with all their hearts. Nimueh knew deep inside that his parents were clearly hiding something from him but couldn’t talk about it. So curious as he was, he decided to let it be. Nimueh had trained with his father ever since young, trained how to fight and how to be a leader. From his mother, Nimueh learned how to hunt and to use other tactics other than fighting when there is conflict.

### Leadership

He became the leader at the age of 4 (3y,4m) after his father announced his retirement. While the pack was celebrating, Southern pack's leader, Kireg, showed up, and taunted Nimueh. This was Nimueh's first challenge and fortunately was able to drive him away without causing any conflict. During the ascension, he named Anuk as his first assistant. But after the incident that happened to Anuk, he terminated him of his position. Three weeks after this, Nimueh named Kida as his new assistant.

### Death of Zarek & Naomi

Nimueh’s parents both died at the age of 9 years. The cause of their death was just old age. While on Zarek's death bed, both he and Naomi decided to tell Nimueh the reason why he has no siblings, or any longer. Few hours after this revelation, Zarek died in his sleep, and his burial was held two days after his death. Nimueh and Naomi were both devastated, mostly just Naomi, since Nimueh had to keep himself restrained. Six days after Zarek’s death, in the evening, Nimueh was informed that his mother had passed away. This was very heavy for Nimueh. It had seemed that Naomi didn’t only die of old age but also of a broken heart. Naomi couldn’t handle Zarek’s death and became quite depressed. Naomi’s burial was then held during the same day. She was buried right next to Zarek. Nimueh thought that now they were together forever alongside his siblings, watching over him from above.

### Relationship with Kida and discovering Kaia

Three years after naming Kida to be his assistant, Nimueh had eventually developed feelings for her but kept them hidden for a while. Until one night after he had taken some herbs (a lot more than usual) that contained sedatives, he confessed his feelings for Kida when he had asked her to meet him. And as a result of that, a pup was conceived. Day after the event, Kida had disappeared. Nimueh’s memory was hazy and couldn’t remember much of the night. When Nimueh noticed Kida's absence, he immediately went to ask from others of her whereabouts but unfortunately no one had any idea where she had gone to. Nimueh tried to recall what happened between them. Until he then remembered the part when he confessed his feelings for her. Nimueh panicked and wondered if Kida had left because of that.

A whole year had passed and Kida still hasn't returned. Until one of the guards informed Nimueh about two wolves heading to the pack. Nimueh's hopes came up and went to greet these wolves, hoping the other wolf to be Kida and wondered if the other one was her father. He then saw who these wolves were and the other one was none other than Kida. Nimueh let out a sigh of relief. He greeted her happily and asked a lot of questions. Kida interrupted him by grooming him and letting him know she was okay. She then turned around to introduce the other wolf with her. Kida told him that her name was Kaia and she was his daughter. Nimueh got extremely confused and slightly shocked. Kida then told him about the night and what happened after he confessed. Nimueh became embarrassed and apologized. Kida calmed him down and answered that she doesn't regret anything. Nimueh let out a chuckle and felt relieved. He then switched his attention to Kaia. Both looked each other in the eyes. Nimueh slightly had a difficult time believing he had a child of his own. Kaia hugged him gratefully and Nimueh then happily hugged her back. He then took both Kida and Kaia to the pack and introduced them as his mate and daughter.

### Kireg's attacks

> Anuk... After what he did, after what he committed, after what he said, he is no longer one of us. He is now someone who needs to be stopped at all costs. I'm sorry, but that's final.

> - Nimueh to Anuk after Alek's betrayal

After Alek had turned against everyone in the Eastern pack and declared a war, Nimueh had doubled the security in the borders and prepared for attacks. Nimueh didn't see Alek as his close friend's son anymore but as an enemy of the pack that had to be stopped. Anuk tried to change Nimueh's mind but he had already made his decision and concentrated on protecting his home.

Only a few weeks after Alek had fled from the pack, Nimueh was informed of a group of wolves heading toward the pack. The wolves were revealed to be red wolves attacking. The attack was quite sudden but the pack survived the first wave. Until the second attack happened and this time the pack wasn't able to defend themselves. The fight was chaotic and a lot of blood was shed, and many of the younger members of the pack had been taken. This continued for a little over three months, the red wolves kept attacking and taking more victims. While this was happening, some of the members thought of Alek being behind the assault, but this was quickly debunked as one of the attackers had sent Kireg's regards. As a result of the assault, the pack was heavily weakened. However, one day the assault had unexpectedly stopped. Nimueh had his doubts about the Southern pack just deciding to leave them be, so he sent scouts to go figure out the situation. As they returned, both scouts were horrified of their discovery; they told Nimueh of the black wolf having himself allied with the white wolf, and then had taken over the Southern pack.

#### Anuk's lineage

When Anuk had returned back from his travels, he had told Nimueh the truth about his family. Hearing this changed Nimueh's view, and realized the connection between what had happened in the South recently. Nimueh told Anuk what he had heard and also shared his theory about it. Both Nimueh and Anuk agreed that the theory is most likely true. Unfortunately Nimueh wasn't the only one hearing about this. Nimueh's now-mate Kida also heard about it who then had become extremely furious. After she ran away, Nimueh followed her and tried to calm her down. After few attempts, Nimueh was able to convince Kida to talk to Anuk.

### Alek's war

After Kida and Anuk were able to get into an agreement, Nimueh arranged a meeting with the Northern pack's leader, Ranua — in hopes of getting support from the pack. The two leaders met close to the Tundra. There, Nimueh told Ranua about his pack's situation and what was going on in the Southern pack. After Nimueh had mentioned about the white wolf, Ranua immediately went from sympathized to threatened. Ranua explained who the white wolf is and what kind of wolf she is. Immediately after Ranua was done explaining, one guard ran up to Nimueh to warn him about the Southern pack's raiders who were approaching the pack. Both Nimueh and Ranua were shocked, and at that moment Ranua had understood how bad the situation was, so he lent a few of his soldiers to help. Nimueh thanked Ranua and then ran back to the pack. As he arrived, everything was in complete chaos. Nimueh tried to find Kida and Kaia, as well as Anuk. He found Kida and told her to go to Seth's. Kida refused until Nimueh had to order her to leave. Shortly after Nimueh and Anuk found each other but their reunion was cut short when one of the raiders attacked them. Both Nimueh and Anuk were able to fight the raider off of them. Soon the fight faded away as quickly as it had started.

While others thought of the fights being finally over, Nimueh kept his guard up.
