Claw is a hunter within the Starlia Pack, born to the respected Nyx and Blaze. His parents were not pair bonded, most likely born as a accident with his 3 siblings, not including his half-siblings. He was the first pup born to breeding male, Blaze.
As Nyx's pup, she was a loving but stern mother, treating him as she would treat to other wolves. Sometimes wolves forget that he is Nyx's son. After her death from old-age, he was lost, questioning if he should live up to her legacy and become the wolf that she was. Nyx was well-respected and popular, not because her adoptive parents are the founders but for her self respect and talent, while he was a loser, a nobody. But
Dove opened his eyes and let him know that it is his life, not her's, and that the life he should live is his own. This made him stop feeling sorry for himself and live his own life as he wanted.
When
Howl joined the pack, Claw was stunned from her toughness, fighting skills and humour that he immediately developed a crush on her.
