Snake

          Snake is the founder the the Red Marauders

At an early age Snake was taught how to be strong. His father was banished from his tribe for reasons he never told Snake, all he knew was that they were weak and couldn't handle a strong wolf like him. At least that's the story his father told him. Tribes have a long history spanning generations, if you want to lead one you'd have to take over an excising one. A new tribe doesn't just appear out of thin air. And yet, this is exactly what Snake's father was trying to achieve. He would make a tribe where weakness isn't allowed, where only the strong will thrive, and he would start with his son. Snake's father snatched a weak pup about Snake's age and used him to set an example how not to survive. Through many hardships Snake was taught not to feel sorry for the pup, and he had to swallow his empathy in order to show his father he was strong. Over the years they were taught the valuable lesions of survival.

   Endure. Food won't come easy, and if it does then it's not worthy of you. If you have to live off of critters and scavenged meat then you shouldn't live at all. Hunger will plague your body but you must not let it consume you. Life will throw every hard hit it can your way and you have to;
   Persevere. Fight your way to the top, in both spirit and body.Only by giving it your all will you ensure victory. Brute strength is always the answer to;
Survive. These rules were hard drilled into Snake's mind, even after he found his father's corpse by the river bank, torn apart by hungry beasts, Snake continued on. He had been told the pup he grew up with would always end up being left behind as he and his father would build their new tribe, but some soft part of Snake remained and instead of leaving the pup to starve, he taught him all the real lesions he learned from his father. Their bond grew and together they built the future they had been born to create. 

They made, the Red Marauders.

It didn't take many years before the marauders grew so large that they no longer needed to hide, it was time to come out of the shadows and be the strongest of them all. It was almost laughably easy, Snake had overestimated the other tribes by a huge margin. How could others be so weak? How could they live with themselves knowing that any day a hare could sneeze and they'd all collapse from the blast? Pathetic. 
Snake is incredibly proud of what he have achieved, others fear him and his marauders, he is on top of the food chain, exactly as it should be. 

Ruling came at a cost; you could never trust anyone. He knew he needed an heir to fill his position when he becomes too old and weak, but he never seemed to be able to find the best female to pair with. Until she came along. A breathtakingly gorgeous wolf who had come looking for her former tribe, a tribe the marauders had long since chanced away, and with nowhere to go Snake offered her a home by his side. She had come when he was as most desperate, when he needed the comfort of a gentle loving embrace. She was the light in the dark, a shining beacon guiding him home.
"Nimera." A name that would always roll off his tongue with a gentle smile, she was his everything. He would climb any mountain for her, he would cross any blizzard, battle any ocean, anything for her. As long as she was by his side he could face any threat life threw at them. Like the moon and stars, they were made for each other.

Winters are always though for the tribe, but none as nerve-racking as when his daughter, Dove, was born. He loved her with all his heart, she was a perfect copy of her mother and he could not see any future that his daughter wasn't in. Surviving the first winter is very hard and even though he had spent all summer teaching her everything he knows on how to survive, he still feared she wouldn't make it. She wasn't as strong as he would have liked, she constantly failed on the tasks she was given and was never able to tackle and pin down other pups. Snake did all he could, and as winter approached he wondered if he was too soft on her. She was cunning, but all smarts in the world wouldn't matter when you're up against hungry pups who are double your size.. Though Snake was constantly worried about her during that winter, he could only hope his teachings would be enough.
