## Silver's Genealogy

Silver was a pup of the last litter of Dawn and Onyx, the grandson of Kuma and Willow, and also one of the three Dawn Of The Wolves heirs to be played in Wolf Quest 3, the only one to have pups and continue the legacy. He was the brother of Moose, Boulder, Quartz, Fawn, Nightpaw, Crow, Stone and Primrose, and the littermate of Lynx, Frost and Lily. His mate was Marigold I, and he was the father of Kal, Horizon, Journey, Opal, Trout, Danti, Bron, and Meadow.

## Biography

Silver was born to Dawn and Onyx along with his 3 littermates, Lynx, Frost, and Lily. As a young adult he was betrayed by another wolf, probably a travel companion, and trapped in a canyon full of aggressive cougars, known as Cougar Canyon. He had to fight his way out of there, getting many scars and bruises until he finally escaped the canyon and ended up on Amethyst Mountain. He eventually found some females, and after fighting a cougar he ended up becoming mates with one of them, Marigold. Silver and Marigold spent their time on Amethyst Mountain trying to push back the rival wolf packs, especially the Wapiti Pack who were rivals to Marigold’s old pack and had killed some of her family. Eventually they did kill the Wapiti alpha male, marking the first death of another wolf caused by the Moon Pack.

The rumor of Silver being a cougar fighter spread among the packs, and by killing the alpha he and Marigold were really seen as a threat, and the other wolves started to attack them relentlessly. They eventually decided to leave Amethyst Mountain, partly because the other wolves there were threatening them to leave. They went to Slough Creek and had their first litter of pups, Kal, Horizon, Journey, and Opal. Since he was still followed by cougars, he had to watch out for nightly attacks. Everything went well until Journey was killed by a bear. Silver grieved a lot over his son, but he soon had to pull himself together and take care of his family. On the journey to the rendezvous site they passed over Little Butte, where Opal was taken by a cougar at night. Sticken with the grief and loss of their second pup, Marigold also fell and injured her leg severely. That made raising pups even harder, but both Kal and Horizon survived to the summer hunting grounds.

Shortly after Silver and Marigold had welcomed their second litter, Trout, Danti, Bron, and Meadow, they were caught in a deadly forest fire. As they fled they encountered both Lily and Crow together with their mates. Kal and Horizon, now yearlings, were also there. All of them were killed in the fire, except his daughter Meadow who miraculously survived. Meadow, who was now also the only living Moon Pack wolf left, became heiress and continued Silver’s legacy.

## Personality

Silver was known for being the "cowboy" of the pack, because he had a "I took on the world and I'll take it on again" personality. Although Seri often described him as old before his age, since he was very tired and beat up from his many battles in Cougar Canyon. He could be very reckless at times, like wanting to push back the packs on Amethyst Mountain, even though he knew the danger of doing so. But he doesn’t jump into things without any thinking. Seri described him as “very bold but not dumb-bold”. Silver is also shown as a scared male sometimes, due to his time in Cougar Canyon he can be skittish and he really dislikes cougars and canyons, since they remind him of the many hard battles he had to endure. He could also be a bit lazy sometimes, especially compared to his mate.

## Appearance

He is seen as a white grayish wolf, a lot like Luna in a way. His coat is white with a gray overlay and black markings, and two bigger black spots, one on each shoulder. Silver’s face is white with gray markings on his forehead and upper cheeks. He has some visible injuries from Cougar Canyon, including two scars on his muzzle, a broken left ear, and a cut-like scar in his right ear. His eyes are golden.

## Death

Silver together with his entire family, plus his siblings Crow and Lily and their mates, was killed during The Forest Fire. Only his daughter Meadow survived, leaving her the only living Moon Pack wolf left.
