Reinhard

Reinhard was a fierce warrior during the whole Cultist-situation. He had witnessed how it all started and had turned from a pupsitter to a warrior/guard. He fought along some other strong wolves of the pack, until one day he barely got away with his life. During a rumble with some of the cultists, he got overwhelmed by two large wolves jumping on him alone. Luckily, reinforcements had been on their way and arrived in time: they were able to get them off of Reinhard and defeated them. Severe wounds nearly got him to bleed out. The only reason he survived was the herbalist Frost.

During his rehab, she showed him many things about her life as a herbalist. At some point she mentioned her age and how there is noone who would want to be her apprentice. Sadness signed her face.
Reinhard - plagued by dreams of the night of his near-death experience and painfoul wounds that might never fully heal - quickly suggested to become her apprentice. She happily agreed and started teaching him until she died of old age.

When he took over her role, he also got more in touch with the leader. She was quite arrogant and snapped quickly, but she was tough as hell. As she had grown up and proven herself many times despite her young age, he realized that he had a crush on her. He did not expect anything to come out of it, so he just went on with his life, did his job and played it cool.
What he didn't realize, though, was that he really knew how to handle the tempered leader. Whenever she got agitated or something, he always said the right things and managed to also get her mood up.
It didn't take long for them to realize that they both had a thing for each other, so they formed a pair bond.
