Steele is a Siberian Husky with a notable experience as a sled dog. Champion of the city, and a horrible liar, he hates Balto at the highest point because he is a half-wolf and also by competition to Jenna - who is indifferent to his many advances.

Wearing cheating and dominance to capture the attention of other dogs and so increase and retain his title and his popularity in the city, he will do everything in its power to make life hell for Balto, quite to abandon all his responsibilities related to the diphtheria epidemic.
