The victim of tragic circumstances, the child was raised by wolves.
Eventually, he was found and brought back to civilization, kicking and screaming to be returned to his adopted family. Even after he learned how to speak like a human he could never fully articulate the bond he had with the pack, and the ache in his heart caused by their separation.
He feared that his pack had been killed until he saw a familiar wolf in a zoo, who also recognized him. After an awkward reunion through a pane of reinforced glass, he began working on the prison break.
