Rune is an outcast among his pack, his presence met with cold stares and silent avoidance. Cursed by Vulcan, he is bound to hear every secret, every rumor that circulates through the pack, yet the curse prevents him from ever speaking a word about himself. He knows everything about others but remains a mystery to all.
His role as the Teller of Secrets brings him no friends, only fear. His packmates avoid him, uncomfortable with the idea that he might know their darkest thoughts. Still, they come to him in quiet desperation, offering prey or favors in exchange for the knowledge he holds. For a small fee, Rune will tell them anything they wish to know.
Though officially part of the pack, Rune lives in isolation, moving like a shadow on the outskirts. His only true companions are a handful of secret servants—wolves who act as his ears, gathering information for him when he cannot. They slip through the pack unnoticed, feeding him the whispers he uses to stay one step ahead.
Despite being shunned, Rune's power makes him indispensable. The wolves need his secrets, even if they fear him. Hidden in the shadows, he listens, waiting for the next wolf to come seeking the truth.
