Naluda
Naluda was the only one of the three pack members born free. Though when he was two years old his small hidden village was raided by slavers. Everyone he knew was sold off to different owners with him being sold off as a pit fighter. He quickly became a strong contender in the Garen's Well fighter's ring scene.
Despite being a champion fighter among the beast people he was always instructed to lose any fight against a higher class citizen. It eventually became an open secret for fighters to get street cred by going up against the beastman champion. Eventually Naluda grew fed up with taking hits to grow someone else's social status. And so during one fight, his opponent expecting an easy win, was beaten to a pulp. Naluda himself almost died from the retribution his owners took on him before being sold for cheap to Fauna.
It was there that he met two other Canid named Brojah and Jowallie. Though he and the former often butted heads, they both respected him and his strong desire to keep the pack together through everything they go through. Fauna started renting the them out for various jobs in their respective skillsets that they would always do well, knowing the second they did their jobs poorly, their pack would be torn apart with the under performing one sold off.
Naluda was assigned to jobs that required brute strength, whatever heads needed knocking, Naluda took care of. They lived like this for 7 years before Fauna felt they could get more value selling them off as a special group price, which is where the Godkillers exploration team met them. He stayed with the team through his friend Jowaliie's death and assisted them in destroying Balimor. After which he moved on to assist Crux in his mercenary work, though when Crux crossed the wrong people and skipped town Naluda realized that he owes allegiance only to the one family member he had left. He joined Jakki's Time Squad to stand at Brojah's side.
Years later when Crux returned from his adventures in Iocrias he finally realized that his days of hero work were able to be passed on to the next generation and he was ready to settle down, offering for Naluda to join him. Having grown so close to Crux and having missed him for the years he was gone, it was an offer he found impossible to resist. They continue to live together on their shared Arcadia property that Crux inherited.
