Born where whitewater meets calm pools, Torrentstride earned stewardship by rescuing flooded villages during the Great Deluge. The River Council bestowed ancient water-controlling runes upon him after he diverted destructive currents into fertile channels. His legend grew when he tamed the Raging Cataract using only a ceremonial disc.

Torrentstride possesses hydraulic muscle density allowing waterwalking at rapid speeds. His fur repels water while absorbing impact energy, shimmering with embedded aquamarine crystals. Webbed forepaws generate controlled whirlpools, and his voice carries the resonant frequency of flowing streams. Armor joints flex like river reeds under pressure.

Maintains equilibrium between turbulent and tranquil waters across the realm. Mediates disputes among aquatic clans while safeguarding trade routes during seasonal floods.
