As told by The Wolf Warrior Cuthlain himself:

"I grew up deep in Ashwood forest. Very deep actually. My mother died before I could remember, so it was just my father and me. He taught me the ways of the forest from an early age.

Growing up, there were no other children I could befriend, so I befriended the animals. I felt I had a connection with the wolves in particular.

As I grew older more people moved around us. My father did not get along with these people well. They called him names I did not understand at the time. As I looked at the other children I noticed I looked a little different. I resembled more of an animal than them.

Then one night I smelled smoke and ran out of bed. My father took me and ran out of the house. He seemed very weak. He was very badly burned, but before he passed away he told me that I was a strange breed of human - I was a werewolf.

He explained to me what this meant and I accepted the legacy. I roamed the forest for 8 years learning the extent of my powers. Then at last I came upon the city of Moorgate and that is where I am now."
