Chegutei Wolf-Brother
You need the Rune

to read this page properly.
Born while Kargzant slept,
to uncertain portents, Chegutei was a sickly child of the Bok-Chorve
clan, with fey gaze and pale skin. The sun-speaker was sure he was
born for a great destiny, but could not tell if it was good or ill,
so he was left outside the yurt one cold night. Wolves howled in
the dark, but when Kargzant rose, he was safe and hale, suckled
on wolfsmilk. His parents disowned him and he was traded to a Laguros,
on the entreaties of his Bok-Chorve concubine, who raised him with
her own children: Alsun the Runt and Borkan the Hide-Maker. Chegutei
and Borkan neither fight nor laugh together, as if living in different
world, but he often does both with Alsun, the half-sister he outwardly
mocks and inwardly cherishes.
Withdrawn and
cold, Chegutei was never a popular child, but those who did not
dread his gaze learned not to try his fearsome rages. Chegutei is
now no more than an adequate rider and archer, but in the hunt it
is said he has the skills, endurance and ferocity of a wolf, and
as he grows his shaggy silver-black hair comes to resemble a wolf's
mane ever more. His is a terrible and merciless wisdom for one so
young, and while few like him, all can feel the weight of fate bearing
upon him. This weight has not totally crushed his child's soul,
yet - sometimes, quite unexpectedly, he will join in the games of
the other riders with feverish abandon. The elders have also noted
his coolly appreciative appraisal of the charms of fair Aijire,
Ku-Bli's sister. Yet her father, a respected elder has more than
once warned them that he would rather wed his horse to Chegutei
than his daughter.
Meanwhile, the
elders and the sun-speakers watch, still awaiting with mingled hope
and fear to discover the nature of his destiny.
Born to great yet uncertain
destiny: fey and sickly, kin-abandoned, wolf-suckled, Laguros-raised.
Chegutei has a terrible and merciless wisdom: few like him,
most dread his gaze or rages but all feel his fearless,
driving will. An adequate Rider, better with knife than
bow, in the hunt he has the skills, endurance and ferocity
of a wolf. His Telmor knowledge brought him Umbrulu Stands-like-a-Man's
favour and thus Crookfang and Sura's Howl. He respects his
adopted parents, ignores Borkan the Hide-Maker and outwardly
mocks and inwardly cherishes his sister Alsun the Runt.
He admires fair Aijire, but first must discover his wolf-brother
destiny and avenge himself on the Bok-Chorve.
