Lore: Ruse was a pup left orphaned when his pack was attacked and killed. His mother escaped with him, her last surviving pup, but was caught not long after he was weaned and killed, leaving him alone. Growing up alone on the tundra was rough, and trusting other wolves wasn't easy due to what happened, luckily he met up with another pup around the same age, an outcast like him, and together they survived. Ruse acted as a protector for this other pup and stuck close to him until adulthood. Even with a pack now, Ruse is still weary and cautious, despite his standoffish nature he is quick to help those in need.
