Smoke joined the Anarchy pack as a pup with his mother, Frozen Dawn. But decided to stay with the pack because of his personal hero named Brimstone. Brimstone told him that he had a high fire affinity that could rival those of the Elementals.
Of course Smoke doesn't know how to join the Elementals so he asked Brimstone if he could learn to breathe fire like the Flame Guardians. But Brimstone said he's too busy and ran off. He was quick. Only barely slower than Nightshade of Silverfell. He burned out quickly too. But still, Smoke can never keep up. He asked Brimstone for a title because Ashcore had one of Forest Fire. But Brimstone never gave one either. Still, any wolf that can control fire is so cool!
When Brimstone died, he didn't teach Smoke anything. Smoke also realized he wasn't immortal. Then Warcry died and the pack plunged into chaos. This was what Anarchy was truly about. Unfortunately, Brimstone was here just for the potential to learn how to use fire. He doesn't quite know how he wants to live. But he doesn't want to return to order as he was an anarchist since the beginning. It's not too bad though. The only change is that Bloodlust is left to his violence. Which is scary but nobody else has changed how they lived in this lawless pack.
