Gamzee and his sister Wisp were born in the Taiga to the Lead Scout, Banshi Norwind, after she'd gotten intimate with an outside wolf. She was well respected in the pack and nobody saw issue with her wandering. However, when his sister was born she caused a stir in the pack. Personally though, he doesn't remember much of how his youngest days were. But Gamzee was a KEEN wolf and knew that the other wolves saw his sister differently. Mom never talked about it though. As a result, he doesn't like STOIC wolves much since they remind him of his mother's silence on the issue.
Despite this, Gamzee actually does respect his mother as well, and hopes to use his natural STRENGTH and WISDOM to follow after her and become a SCOUT for the pack. Ideally, he'd replace her as the Lead Scout and have a seat on the council. His ambitions are big and he has dreams of becoming a household Name. But those plans changed when he realized how long he'd have to wait for the opportunity to Scout on his own. Disheartened but determined, Gamzee approached Indica and requested to use his skills in HUNTING instead, as a STALKER. Intrigued, Indica agreed.
