Before finding his way to Silver Star Pack's territory, Teak had a rough start to his life. He was born without a pack to call his own due to his mother having been exiled while pregnant. Then, when Teak was no older than 4 months, his small family was involved in a tragic accident. Their den was found and overtaken by a young, strong wandering pair in need of a place to nest. Teak survived the incident, but lost his family as well as his left eye in the dispute. Injured and very young, his survival probability would have been extremely bleak, had it not been for the stray dog that found and adopted him. As far as Teak is concerned, Nut is his only family and they are never seen apart.
The 2 of them wandered onto the outskirts of the Silver Star Pack's territory as the snow set in for winter, and almost immediately had a run-in with the Queen's more courteous son, Morax. Thankfully, he is quite mild-mannered and perceptive, and he quietly assured them of their safety and led them back to the pack dens where they were able to take refuge with the comfort of a pack for the first time.
