So Much Lost And Nothing Gained
xxxxxDenver was born here in Fallcoast, and raised primarily by his mother, since his Uratha father was usually away. He was raised aware of the Uratha and their duty, and the fact that he could also see into twilight really helped shaped who he would become. He worked on the family fishing boat for most of his youth, while also working very, very hard in school. He ended up getting a scholarship to UC Berkeley, where he got his Masters in Literary Studies. He also met a Uratha girl and they married. They moved to Fallcoast and he began teaching at St. John's University in 1995.
xxxxxThey had a daughter, and named her Riley, in the same year. He obtained his PhD in Literary Studies, and then earned a secondary Masters in Anthropology, and a secondary PhD in Archaeology. He was excellent at learning, and also focused on his studies as a Magician. In 2005 he went on a vacation with his wife, daughter, and the pack they were in. They went to Yellowstone to do some pack training, and get away from Maine. They were attacked by a very powerful Pure pack, however. His wife and pack were butchered, and he and the other Blooded, and his daughter, were captured. They spent months and months and months in captivity. While the others were broken or died...he resisted. His daughter, in the end, went through a Change and was adopted into the Pure. She is fierce and terrifying, and she hates her Forsaken-Loving-Father.
xxxxxHe escaped with a few others in 2015, and helped them find shelter in Louisiana. He has been on the road since then, just utterly defeated, and not really knowing who or what he is at this point. He has a lot of issues, and he kind of hates himself. He was on the street for years, until finally taken in by a Wolf. Now he's trying to remember how to be a man again.
