While there are a few wolves in his lineage that have done things that aren't culturally supported, Swymus still loves his heritage and all the brave and courage things those wolves have done. He has learned from the mistakes of his ancestors and their trifles with spirits, and teaches all the young in his new pack of those mistakes.
His grandfather, Ghost, however, told a very different story. Ghost was known for foretelling the various different things within his pack and grew to be feared until his leader, Saba, thought this gift to be something work investing in. As Ghost (and Saba) grew older, Ghost began to consume the role as Alpha and now runs a large pack called Tic Tac Pack.
