Nightling came from the woods, and left his home pack after his sister died. He wandered for a while, occasionally teaming up with a fellow traveller. He was on his own though when he got too bold and tried to steal from a small timber wolf pack. He ran off with minimal injuries, but had trouble hunting properly after that. He was hungry and down on his luck, and his wounds weren't healing properly. Eventually he wandered onto New Summit, where his first encounter was with a badger he was trying to steal food from. Vega, who was scouting at the time, had to come to his rescue. He ended up staying in New Summit for a while as he let himself rest. He grew attached to the pack, and decided to join, taking the rank of a scout.
