The Wild Hunt
EMBER
The twelfth chieftess of the Wolfriders, Ember has been chief for about 52
years, 40 of those years spent in the holt at Khulki's Mountain. Forty years
ago she was at the center of a vicious love triangle between Teir and Mender,
but that has since been resolved, and she and Teir are now lifemates hoping for
Recognition and children of their own.
TEIR
The mysterious Plainsdwelling elf of Go-Back ancestor - who now may well be
revealed as Kahvi's son, as been a member of the Wolfriders for just over forty
years, and has since become lovemate and lifemate to Chieftess Ember. Though
he's opened up to Ember, and now hopes to have a cub with her, he still has
many demons inside him, now resurfacing with the second appearance of Lehrigen.
YUN
A bit of a beta-female among the Wild Hunt, Yun is one of their best hunters,
trackers and scouts. The only known daughter of Skywise has been lovemate to
both Teir and Mender, and an occasional thorn in Scouter's side. Shortly after
settling in Khulki's Mountain she adopted the human child Khorbasi and raised
him as her own.
MENDER
Rainsong and Woodlock's youngest son is the healer of the Wild Hunt, and its
most famous flirt - he has gone after Ember, Yun, and even a human girl (in the
forthcoming Mender series). He used to get under Teir's skin quite often, but
since then appears to get along well with all the members of his tribe.
SCOUTER
The rogue Wolfrider, Scouter's temper still gets him in trouble. He is most
famed for his week-long insurrection against Ember, but since has come to
accept Ember's leadership. Though Yun seems as good a scout as he, Scouter can
still be found up in the trees, on the lookout.
TYLEET
The tanner of the Wild Hunt, and the gentlest of the Wolfriders, Tyleet has
settled into a peaceful life as lifemate to Scouter and Dewshine, and as mother
to her son Pool. She still has her soft spot for humans, and probably helped
Yun in raising Khorbasi.
DEWSHINE
Lifemated to both Scouter and Tyleet, Dewshine continues as the fastest
huntress and archer in the Wild Hunt. Though they have lived in relative peace
for almost forty years, Dewshine can be counted on to fight should Angrif Djun
launch his attack against the elves.
PIKE
Pike continues as the howlkeeper, and it is unknown whether he is still
apprenticing Dewshine to assist him. The elder of the tribe at 600+ he tend to
keep a low profile, eager for little more than good hunts and howls. He has
been teaching his son Sust the ways of both Go-Backs and Wolfriders, raising
him up to be quite the hunter.
KRIM
The hotheaded Go-Back still gets under Ember's skin now and then, particularly
now that Lehrigen has returned to the Wild Hunt, revealing that he killed
Krim's former chief Kahvi. A blunt lifemate and mother, Krim may well defy
Ember in an attempt to kill Lehrigen. Trouble appears to be brewing between the
Go-Back and the rest of the tribe.
SUST
The youngest of the Wolfriders, Pike, Skot and Krim's son has grown up into a
reckless warrior much in the manner of his father Skot. His eagerness for
battle and his adventurous spirit has clearly gotten him in a few scrapes with
his chief. But that's just his Go-Back ancestry showing itself.
POOL
About 51 years old now, Pool's adoration for Teir has transformed him into a
skilled archer. He still feels a close connection to Lehrigen after the Still
One saved his life, and he is showing great loyalty and concern for him despite
the fact that Lehrigen admits to killing Kahvi.
KHORBASI
Yun found Khorbasi as a small child and brought him into the tribe. Now, thirty
years later he is a full member of the Wild Hunt, and frequently helps them
scare away humans who venture too close to the Holt's boundaries. He thinks of
the tribe as his family, and calls Yun his mother.
