Etan is a wolf Kachina met on her travels prior to being within a pack. His charming personality wooed her enough to allow him to travel with her. And when pack life just started getting busy, he gave his beloved two pups of her own. He even offered to care for them when Kachina was busy tending to pack duties or wandering off in her daily patrols.
When Takoda passed away due to an infection, it broke Etan's heart. As such, he is rather protective of his only child and daughter, Mika. Pack members have even seen him growl at passing squirrels if they come too close to his baby girl. He prides himself in being a good father to any of the pups and has been given the role of lead pup sitter. He was very proud recently with his daughter being allowed to join the alpha's hunting group.
