Raised in a pack that cared little about the weak and injured, Phoenix dispersed from them, hoping to use the little bit of healing knowledge he knew and develop it better to serve a pack that would appreciate him and his efforts. Wandering through the forest past the grasslands he grew up in, he came across a very injured black she-wolf. He had helped a few sick and injured wolves by this point and was ready to help this wolf too, but something seemed different about her. After helping her get her strength back, he asked about joining the pack she had rambled to him about the past moon they had met. The wolf Aurora, who was the alpha of her pack, agreed and took him in where he now serves as the herbalist. Though not pair-bonded, the two promised when the time came they would be each other's. Phoenix fathered the pack's heirs, Ayla and Juno, and trains Ayla to be the next herbalist and follow in his paw steps.
