Story: Gareth was born to the son of Niju and his mate Olathe as their only pup, but sadly both his parents were killed by a hunter when he was only a few weeks old. So, he was left to be raised by his grandparents with whom he developed a really close bond. When Gareth reached adulthood, Niju and Olathe were already getting old, and eventually, they passed away. Gareth was of course heart broken, but swore that he would eventually make them proud of him, and went on his way to find his purpose in the world. During his travels, he came across a young female wolf being surrounded by a group of mean rogues, about to attack her. Of course, Gareth couldn't just walk by, so he stepped in, fighting off the rogues. The good news was that he won the fight and the mean rogues ran off with their tails between their legs - but the bad news was that he had been badly wounded in the process. Gareth fell to the ground, and everything went black, and the next time he opened his eyes, he was lying in a warm cave, with the female wolf he had saved sitting by his side. She introduced herself as Ahnah, and insisted that he'd stay with them until he had fully recovered. During this time, she and Gareth became good friends, and developed strong feelings for each other, but unfortunately Ahnah's uncle Taku kept a very close eye on her, and didn't really trust Gareth, as he was a stranger, but Gareth swore to do anything it took to win Taku's trust and to show him how much he cared about Ahnah.

Relation to Balto: Niju's grandson.
