Murdoch grew up in a pack created for orphans or young wolves who were abandoned. This pack was led by the well-known, Talla, mother to all of these left-behind wolves.
Some would describe Murdoch as an overachiever, but no less than a troublemaking wolf. It has been that way ever since the day Talla took him under his wing after abandonment from his mother wolf.
This pack that Talla created wasn't just for abandoned wolves. It was her way of building a new generation. Talla and other elder wolves who helped guide the pack proudly picked certain wolves to be trained as strong Alphas. Murdoch was one of those wolves.
During his training, Murdoch met Alpha Rage.

Their friendship grew and eventually when the time came, Murdoch and Rage left their homeland, formed an alliance, and began their separate journies.
