## History

### Pre-Series

Eclipse was born second in Holly's first litter on August 17th, 2006 in northern England alongside his 7 other littermates, and grew up in the forest outskirts around Yorkshire with Holly and the rest of their growing pack, stealing food from humans and avoiding capture. Because of his resemblance to the god, he was intended to be named after Ecalypse, though Holly had mistook the name after only having heard it once at the time. Eclipse was an impatient child, he felt unseen amongst his abundant family, and especially following the death of his brother Zepp, doubted his mother’s abilities as their leader. This wavering uncertainty lead to him catching the interest of Orizon, who affirmed Eclipse would make a much better leader, supporting him in conspiring against Holly, however when his family refused to join him and his beliefs, he declared his split from the pack on June 2nd 2008, becoming the first guardian to go solo from them.

The group would not encounter Eclipse again for many months, until reappearing out of nowhere one day in a shocking surprise attack against them, he was aided by multiple Dark Guardians previously unseen on world 8, gifted to him as allies by Orizon. Though while they appeared to serve Eclipse, they would only moreso listen to Orizon, and to this day he has never once shown any signs of clairvoyancy or ability to communicate with them himself. The fighting lasted over the span of years but the group could easily go months between further encounters, everything would come to a head on July 30th 2012 when a ferocious final battle took place, the original family verses Eclipse and a DG army matching their size. Several younger members of the pack fell that day, though with the strength of the olders, managed to finally subdue the opposition’s leader. Understanding his true defeat and having to face the family disarmed and weakened, Eclipse finally gave in that day, swearing his loyalty back to the group that had proved their strength to him.

His return was not wildly accepted however, and of course he understood this would be the case, wanting to redeem himself Eclipse would use his size and strength to the pack’s advantage, risking himself over and over again for their betterment. He knew he would never fully be the same again in all their eyes, but he at the very least wanted to try for them. Upon moving to Custos in September of 2012, Eclipse settled in better with more space to himself and a quieter life, he would go on to later join the import team to make use of his build, continuing his aim of helping the community that spared him. Like most of the early group he has several now grown fawns with other members of the pack, though rarely sees much of them due to the atmosphere of the family as a whole at the time, Eclipse now holds very little interest in finding a partner, instead spending most of his time in the company of best friend and immediate sister Clover.
