In the Wilderness Run scenes, he has a long white pelt smeared with gray, yellowed fangs, and pale yellow eyes.

## History

### Wilderness Run

Cavidha searches for Uionshu, who had run away from her pack to give birth to her pups. He eventually finds her shortly after giving birth. He lunges at her and stabs his claws into Uionshu's side. She bites his neck and he bears his teeth. He tells her that she cannot escape and attacks her again. Uionshu falls to the ground from exhaustion, but when Cavidha thinks he has won, she smacks him in the cheek, sending him staggering and yelping in pain. He then turns tail.

Cavidha enters his camp, growling to himself and hoping Uionshu is dead. He calls to Nionolo to be careful climbing up the gorge walls before skidding down himself. Eyiona approaches him and he delievers the unfortunate news. When Eyiona becomes upset with him, he promises to gather several wolves to track and kill Uionshu once and for all.

Cavidha and his *killinggroup* find Morkef in the forest and chase him back to his mother's den. When Uionshu begs him not to kill her and her pups, Cavidha responds that it's his job, and that the pups deserve to die. He attacks Uionshu, but before he lands a killing bite on her, Yogna jumps in the way and recieves it instead, although she doesn't die. He leaves with his group.

Months later, Uionshu mentions that Cavidha died of old age, and that a new *gionadh* named Hioq took his place.

### Wilderness Run scenes

Cavidha finds Uionshu after giving birth to her pups and chases her through the snow before knocking her over. He tells her that he has news to give to Eyiona, the pack leader, about Uionshu, but the she-wolf lunges at him and breaks his jaw. Cavidha flees.

In an alteration to the scene above, instead of Uionshu breaking his jaw first, she breaks his back, leaving his hind legs useless. He screams out in shock and Uionshu cuffs him on the ear, mocking his position. Cavidha tries to tell Uionshu not to speak that way to him, but she interrupts him by nipping him on the neck. He drags himself away to the best of his ability, leaving behing a trail of blood. Uionshu then barrels into him and breaks his jaw. Cavidha again yells out and hurries away faster.

After failing to kill Uionshu, Cavidha heads back from Moose Island, thinking about how he's going to have to suffer the consequences from Eyiona about not killing the runaway. He heads back to camp and walks down the walls to the bottom of the gorge. He sees Eyiona and gives her the bad news. She snarls at him and he tries to apologize, but she bites his neck and creates a deep cut. Cavidha offers to arrange a killinggroup, but Eyiona declines his offer, citing the thawing ice and her inability to produce more pups without a mate. Despite him begging his alpha, Eyiona insists he doesn't go.

Cavidha and a group of wolves ambush Morkef and his siblings while they play outside their mother's den. He captures Yogna and Wihnai, but Morkef escapes. Then, he approaches Uionshu with one of his wolves holding Wihnai in their jaws. Uionshu asks him what he's doing, and he says that he's going to kill her and her pups. In scene five, he joins a group of wolves to search for Uionshu and her pups but is not the one who finds them first.

The *gionadh* leads a killinggroup to Moose Islands, then sends them on a "wild goose chase" while he tracks down Uionshu to kill her personally. When he finds her, he lunges at the mother, but he is swiped out of the air. Cavidha tells her that she's lucky to be alive and charges at her, but misses and gets his tail stuck in a bramble bush after he crashes into it. Uionshu tries to injure his previously wounded neck further, and Cavidha tries to throw her off his back. A herd of moose stampede into the clearing, killing the mother wolf and knocking Cavidha unconscious. When he wakes up, he realizes that the bundle of fur at his paws is Uionshu. A voice inside his mind tells him to not worry about killing the pups because they will die of starvation. Cavidha rips open Uionshu's stomach, trying not to gag at the sight, calls a group of crows devour the carcass, and walks away.

## Personality

Cavidha is menacing and vicious. He feels no remorse for killing newborn pups and hurting pregnant she-wolves. Cavidha believes that pups born from runaway mothers are filthy and deserve to die. He is insulting and enjoys watching wolves struggle. However, he is submissive to wolves higher ranked than him. Cavidha tends to speak sarcastically when he wants to intimidate a wolf. He is selfish; whenever he completes a task, he keeps it for himself instead of sharing the success with others. He has no respect and honor, resulting to committing abominable crimes to exact revenge.

## Trivia

### Mistakes

* Cavidha is described as white and silvery-white in the same scene.
