History: "I grew up in the snowy north of Hokkaido, along with two sisters and a brother. We were raised by our mother, but never knew our father. The rest doesn't matter. The only thing that does is why I'm on this search.

     "It all began near the end of Ou's battle for Gajō. I was running from a small group of Hougen's soldiers when they jumped at me and held me down. One of them, a female Doberman with more scar than face, was about to bite down on my neck, but she stopped and looked into my eyes. Amid my fear there rose another feeling - love. I was confused as well. 'Why was I in love with someone who just tried to kill me?' I thought. The female backed off, and ordered the others to back off and let me go. I cautiously stood up and looked behind me as I ran, just in case it was a clever trick; It was not.

     "We met again before the final battle for Gajō after the Doberman had deserted Hougen's army. She came running out of the forest and, without stopping, told me to follow, so I did. In the days and weeks following, Hiyori and I grew closer and closer. And several more weeks later, we found ourselves preparing for parenthood. But that joyous time was not to last.

     "Hiyori and I were looking for a safe place for our pups to be born. We had just found a potentially suitable den, when Hiyori left my side to drink from a river on the other side of the snow-covered hill, saying she would be back shortly. While she did, I entered the den to investigate. Several minutes passed, then half an hour, and she had not yet returned. I was growing worried, so I left the den to look for her. I was not prepared for what I saw when I reached the other side of the hill. Lying in the snow by the river was my mate's lifeless body, torn and bloodied, her throat ripped out. I was shocked, devastated, horrified. Hiyori had been killed, and I heard nothing, not even a scream. Whoever did this to her was going to pay.

     "I hadn't smelled anyone else in the area before her death, and any prints that might have been were already filled in with falling snow. I sniffed around, hoping to get the scent of whoever was responsible. Within minutes, I had picked up the scents of three individuals. Now that I had their scents, I set off to find them, and avenge the deaths of my mate and our pups.

     "I don't know where Hiyori's killers are, but of this I am absolutely certain - I will find them, and I will kill them."

Relation to GNG/GDW: His mate Hiyori was killed by a group of dogs who were still loyal to Hougen after his death. Also, his older half-brother's pack is allies with Hakuro's.
