Born during the longest winter in living memory, the Arctic Wanderer emerged from a remote settlement beyond the Wall where ancient First Men traditions still hold sway. Raised by a clan of nomadic hunters who followed the migrations of great elk herds, they learned to read the secrets written in ice and snow. When their settlement was lost to a devastating winter storm, they survived by forming a mysterious bond with a lone direwolf, learning to navigate the treacherous northern wastes by following the ancient paths known only to the creatures of the deep winter. This connection to the primal forces of the North transformed them into a living bridge between the old ways and the realm of men.
