Having always been a pup that didn't fit in well with his original pack, Tulemak struck out on his own. After stumbling, quite literally, into a hunting party of the Boldridge Pack, he followed them home and was welcomed by Nynaeve under the condition he not let his tendency to remain aloof keep him from being a contributing member of the pack. After joining the Lowland Den of adolescents, he was "chosen" by Marea to be the Stalker of her hunting party due to his ability to stealthily sneak up on unsuspecting small critters in order to avoid joining the large pack meals. While he doesn't mind joining Nakoa on the harebrained "hunting trips" Marea concocts, he wonders if her observant nature calls to him because she respects his space, or if, maybe just maybe, he was lucky enough to find his mate so early in life. Now if only Marea would leave them to their quietude in peace!
