Jarak used to be a wide-eyed pup who loved nothing more than listening to his mother's lessons about plants and exploring the tundra with his sister. But when she died of poisoning due to an unknown toxin, guilt overwhelmed him - what if he'd paid more attention to her, if he'd reacted faster?? Could he have saved her?
From that day on, he set aside his childhood and trained himself relentlessly, pushing his body and mind until exhaustion every day. He grew physically strong and mentally sharp, adopting the bearing of a warrior, broad-shouldered, confident, yet with slight resentment in his eyes.
Former Jarl Fyllo - who was feeling the toll of time pressing upon him - took him under his wing when he saw the teenager's potential. He drove him to be even better, training him as an apprentice for eventual promotion as Jarl. His former playmates respected him for his insightfulness; it seemed becoming a leader was his predestined fate.
