About |
Iorek Stormfast was a former member of Casa di Cavalieri. He was a member of the Brotherhood --- Lionheart -- and Master of Tooth and Claw before he was exiled. Iorek was the son of Lyra Stormfast and Ragnar Raknison. He was the mate of Riley Rockateer and father of Colette Rockateer, Deucalion Rockateer, Lyra'eve Stormfast, Morrigan Stormfast, Perses Stormfast, and Skoll Stormfast. Born in Yellowstone, he was raised by his mother until her untimely death. When he was only a year old, Iorek and his mother became separated from each other for only a few minutes before a pair of Luperci jumped her and fatally injured her before her son arrived. He doesn't remember much of the incident - or at least he doesn't try to - but he killed both males in an enraged fit. He survived on his own until he came to Nova Scotia. Later, he joined Casa di Cavalieri. He came just in time for the Syndicate Conflict and Iorek was caught in several traps. When patrolling with Teagan Stryder, the pair were attacked by three Syndicate loners. Seeing one of his pack-mates pinned by two of the attackers made Iorek go into a fit of rage, his mind connecting it to his mother's death. He killed one of the loners and almost killed another before Teagan stopped him. Unable to distinguish friend from foe, he lashed out at her. The skirmish scared him and he began to fear himself, suffered from nightmares, and anxiety after the incident. He also met Riley Rockateer who later joined Casa di Cavalieri. After a disastrous few battles and being attacked by a demon, Iorek decided to become a healer, studying under Veri Secanti. Though, through encouragement and training with his pack-mates, Iorek also began to refine and hone his fighting skills. In January, Iorek joined the Brotherhood as a Master of Tooth and Claw. He and Riley also became closer since Riley's return from the Outpost in November and in mid-January they started a romantic relationship. In February, Iorek, Jace, and Riley aid Anathema in their fight against Kentaro's forces. Ultimately, Anathema falls. At the start of summer, Iorek became the mentor to Nayavota Denahlii. At the end of July, Iorek was injured by Lux Einar while protecting a young girl. In October of 2018 Iorek begins to display an unusual level of aggression, murdering a loner and is exiled from Casa along with Riley. He was a loner living in Praegrandis with his mate and his many children until his death. |

Iorek at his core is a benevolent creature who is kind and gentle. His sweet and kind disposition is one of his most notable traits as well as his caring and calm demeanor. He cares deeply about others and their well-being, often placing it above his own. He is relatively friendly when meeting new people and can easily make friends. He is very empathetic and is able to understand others feeling or at least provide a listening ear. He is a hard worker and is rarely idle, always wanting to help his pack in some way whether it be training with others, patrolling, or going on trips to look for things to bring back. He is helpful and can easily be roped into tasks, though he is starting to grow a spine when it comes to some things asked of him. He can be fairly stubborn when he puts his mind to something and it can be difficult for one to persuade him otherwise. Due to his stutter and feral upbringing, Iorek does appear to be dimwitted, though he is intelligent and has a cunning side. Most of it comes from his unfamiliarity with many things that could be considered common by the members of his pack and other humanized individuals. He also often enjoys what others may consider "simple" and his quirks and interests may be considered to be "weird". However, he can be fairly perceptive and observant with an analyzing mind that allows him to figure things out; sometimes he may just ignore certain clues or telltale signs due to him not considering it to be "important" at the time. He has a good memory and a quick learner, though he does make mistakes. Iorek can be an enigma to many due to his many quirks that set him apart from most Luperci. His feral upbringing coupled with his year in Casa di Cavalieri has caused a flux between humanized and feral. Iorek is also a mixed creature and has several quirks and traits that are nowhere near the norm. He does exhibit some traits which may be consider feminine though he has little to no understanding of gender roles; he likes jewelry and flowers and may seem slightly maternal at times. Iorek also often doesn't act entirely Luperci or canine at times. He has a couple of catlike mannerisms such as licking his paw and rubbing up against people like a cat as well as a large amount of his fighting techniques are noticeably feline. He also has some distinctly birdlike mannerisms such as tilting his head rather owlishly and having an almost magpie-like obsession with shiny objects. Iorek sees himself as a protector rather than a fighter; one is more likely to get a fight out of him if they threaten those he cares about. One of his main motivations is protecting Casa di Cavalieri, though to him, it is more than just protecting them from harm. His protective instincts are also strong due to his dog blood and may cause him to react strongly to perceived threats towards those he considers to be family. Iorek's formerly pacifist nature has been replaced by his protective instincts, though he does believe in mercy and while killing is no longer last resort from him, it is reserved only for certain threats. Iorek does have a violent side and over time learned to use it rather than to fear it. |

Spirituality |
Iorek's beliefs are fairly vague though he is spiritual and considers there to be a "Mother Goddess". He believes in spirits and can believe in deities if given enough exposure and explanation, though may pick and choose from different religions. He does have a belief that spirits go to the sky but may wander on earth as he believes that he interacted with his mother's spirit. He does believe in magic and practices rituals as well as has knowledge of tarot cards. |
Substances |
Iorek doesn't participate in using substances if he can help it. His exposure is limited to alcohol as well as a poorly-remembered time on hallucinogenics, his knowledge is primarily limited to alcohol. And while he doesn't approve of others, he will express his disapproval or disappointment when they are wasted or hungover. |

Tooth and Claw |
Iorek is the son of Lyra Stormfast and Ragnar Raknison. Ragnar had attacked the formerly Non-Luperci female and impregnated her against her will before leaving her to cope with pregnancy and being turned Luperci. It shook the female to her core and caused her to stay away from Luperci, especially Luperci males. Iorek was the only child of the litter and it was a difficult pregnancy for Lyra, rendering her sterile and slightly weakened. Lyra raised her son alone and often in isolation from other canines, especially Luperci. She was only visited by her sister, whom helped whenever she could.
Iorek's first shift was rather traumatic for the child since he had been left alone and didn't know about shifting, as his mother never left her Lupus form. He managed to only transition to his Secui form and never went back to his Lupus form after that. Since his first shift, he served as a protector, protecting his mother from hostile loners. But one day, he failed. When he was only a year old, Iorek and his mother became separated from each other for only a few minutes before a pair of Luperci jumped her and fatally injured her before her son arrived. He doesn't remember much of the incident - or at least he doesn't try to - but he killed both males in an enraged fit.
Iorek wandered away, getting into trouble with others at times. He wandered into Nova Scotia after several months. As a loner, he had trouble hunting and mainly scavenged off of kills but was half-starved until he joined Casa di Cavalieri after having good interactions with many of its members. He came just in time for the Syndicate Conflict and Iorek was caught in several traps. When patrolling with Teagan Stryder, the pair were attacked by three Syndicate loners. Seeing one of his pack-mates pinned by two of the attackers made Iorek go into a fit of rage, his mind connecting it to his mother's death. He killed one of the loners and almost killed another before Teagan stopped him. Unable to distinguish friend from foe, he lashed out at her. The skirmish scared him and he began to fear himself, suffered from nightmares, and anxiety after the incident.
In August, Iorek found a young magpie stuck in a flower bush and named him Birdflower. Birdflower decided to stick around and became Iorek's companion. Then, Iorek met a loner named, Riley Rockateer and later rescued him from two Syndicate members. Iorek was slowly starting to recover, but being assaulted by a demon scarred him badly. It took a while for him to recover, but he did managed to fight in the attacks, but was wounded in the second attack and this set him on the path of a healer. Though, through encouragement and training with his pack-mates, Iorek also began to refine and hone his fighting skills.
In January, Iorek joined the Brotherhood as a Master of Tooth and Claw. He and Riley also became closer since Riley's return from the Outpost in November and in mid-January they started a romantic relationship. In February, Iorek, Jace, and Riley aid Anathema in their fight against Kentaro's forces. Ultimately, Anathema falls. At the start of summer, Iorek became the mentor to Nayavota Denahlii.
At the end of July, Iorek was injured by Lux Einar while protecting a young girl. In October of 2018 Iorek begins to display an unusual level of aggression, murdering a loner and is exiled from Casa along with Riley. They left, traveling past Portland and coming across a settlement called Praegrandis. They settled down and started a family.
Iorek passed away a month after the birth of his youngest litter.
In-Depth
Childhood
Iorek was born in the wilds of what was once known as Yellowstone National Park on a winter day to Lyra of the Stormfast family. She had set out when she was a year old as all Stormfasts had done to find a mate to bring back to Storm Valley. But, she was attacked and assaulted by Ragnar Raknison and contracted the Luperci virus as well as expecting a child. Lyra had fled to the wilds after being taught by a kindly loner about Luperci basics and raised her child in isolation.
Iorek had always been the protector ever since he had first shifted, fighting and scaring loners off with his larger than average size. He learned some hunting skills from his mother but his fighting skills that came from his clashes with loners seemed to be the most practiced. He and his mother stayed away from groups and he developed very few social skills and would be considered very feral and with little exposure to the humanized Luperci.
Alone
When Iorek was a year old, he and his mother split up for a hunt on one faithful day. Lyra was attacked by a pair of Luperci males and was mortally wounded before her son arrived. The boy snapped and killed both in a fit of rage and grief before comforting his mother and witnessing her death. He soon repressed this memory after wandering away in the rain, only remembering pieces of it before similar situations brought back the memories.
After he buried her, Iorek wandered away, keeping himself isolated to some degree but without his mother's guidance, he stumbled into trouble due to his own curiousity or ignorance. He had accidentally crossed marked borders and was chased off by the pack, he had been surprised by an older Luperci male who had threatened him with a blade, and other similar incidents. He met his two companions, Jackson and Addison, a pair of cats whom became traveling companions. And then he came to Nova Scotia in June.
A New World
Iorek came to Nova Scotia which was unlike anywhere he had been and had many new experienced. He had been starving due to his difficulty hunting and was mostly scavenging off kills and had a few hunts under his belt. He was introduced to many foreign concepts such as learning about coyotes, cities, and weapons. He later joined Casa di Cavalieri after having many positive experiences with Cavaliers, notably Callum Knight sharing a kill with him.
Iorek learns a lot in his first few weeks, becoming acquainted with living in the Fort, clothing, horses, and other humanized concepts but is still noticeably feral when compared to his peers but tries to mimic certain behaviors. He learns to make flower crowns from Arlen Stryder and learns to read and write from Everett Moreau.
Loss of Innocence
At the start of the Syndicate Conflict, Iorek gets caught in multipe traps such as falling in a pit and in nets.
A week in, Iorek goes on patrol with Teagan Stryder and after helping her dismantle some traps, they are met by a trio of Syndicate loners, Tark, Broker, and Tinsel. Initially, Iorek is afraid and unwilling to hurt the attackers but must do so. When Teagan is pinned by two of the attackers, Iorek's mind connects it with the same events in which his mother was killed: two males ganging up on a female. He snaps and snatches Tinsel away and then rips his throat out. When Tark attacks him in retalioation for killing Tinsel, Iorek almost kills him too, but Teagan interferes. In his state, Iorek was unable to discern friend from foe and lashes out at Teagan before he snaps back to his normal self and is horified by his actions.
Iorek later confides with Arlen Stryder after fleeing and comes to several revelations including the concept of siblings. He later isolates himself and is fearful of the possibility that he might snap again. Later in the month, Iorek finds a magpie in a flower bush and unimaginably names him Birflower?. A couple of days later, he meets a loner named Riley Rockateer and then a couple days later saves him from Syndicate loners.
When Iorek is out wandering, he comes across an Anatheman named Lux Einar. Since he had had positive encounters with members of the pack, he doesn't sense anything off about the man until he attacks and Iorek finds himself pinned and at the mercy of the male. Iorek is raped by the man and later flees after lying there for an hour, washing himself to get rid of the effects. He confides in Riley who was ready to find the man himself, but doesn't due to Iorek's pleas.
During the final Syndicate battle, Iorek freezes up due to his attacker have dark fur. He recieves scars to his forearms before being saved by Aniki and Jace Wolfe. Afterwards, he asks to become a healer.
Family
In October, Riley leaves for the Outpost and Iorek becomes despondent. He later meets his half-brother, Iofur whom bossed Iorek around and showed little respect to some Casa members as well as becoming violent. It didn't help that Iofur and Iorek looked almost the same with Iofur's colors being shades darker the only visual indication of their difference. In November, Iorek and Iofur meet their half-sister, Cerise Rydia Rose, whom Iofur takes interest in and hangs around her more, more or less dropping Iorek.
Lyris' death shocks Iorek to his core and he blames himself for not being able to help and for being "useless". He isolates himself in his room before breaking down and later accidentally breaking his mortar and sending himself into another spiral of guilt and self-loathing which later turns into anger which ends with him striking out and leaving scratches in the wall before bumping into the other wall and leaving a dent. Veri Secanti finds him sobbing on his bed and comforts him.
Midway through November, Iorek helps Lake, a loner Night Hushhowl brought in whom had been attacked by others. Iorek is bitter about Lake being converted into a Luperci, seeing it as "wrong" since Lake had not consented to it. He later helps Lake return to a more comfortable form.
Riley returns to Casa di Cavalieri and is met with Iorek who is joyful, but Riley senses something off with him. Iorek later tells him that he is still feeling bad after his episode after Lyris died and Riley talks to him.
Later on, Iorek takes an interest in fighting again and learns some pressure points from Veri Secanti.
Fighter
Iorek soon takes an interest in fighting, learning what he can from his feline friends as well as from others. Combining what he learned with with his own experience and knowledge, Iorek soon becomes a fair fighter and proves his skills when sparring with Teagan and when defending Casa from intruders. Iorek feels better about himself and also practices with Riley.
When Raine reveals his true colors, Iorek is rightfully livid as he has dislike of rapists due to his past as well as being the product of one as well. He joins the hunt for Raine and is notably more angered during the hearing, seeming more feral and obviously not the gentle giant he normally is. Iorek rears up to his full height and lets out an angry roar when Veri is injured and later delivers his vote to send Brita away.
Iorek becomes interested in scavenging once again as well as learns about cooking.
At the end of December, Iorek undertakes his Brotherhood vigil, supposedly being visited by his mother's ghost. He brings back a piece of fluorite as well as a piece of malachite for Riley. Riley helps Iorek prepare, getting him dressed up for his Brotherhood oath.
Romance
Bluh
Spiral
At the end of July, Iorek fends off Lux Einar in defense of a young girl. He leaves the man behind in hopes that he would die from bloodloss. Iorek almost dies from blood loss himself and is injured and unable to leave the Fort until October when his stitches are out and healed.
He is still slightly on edge before learning that Lux in indeed still alive. This sets off his PTSS (Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome) that causes him to turn violent when he is reminded of Lux or his mother's death. He attacks a pair of loners in defense of a non-Luperci and later on attacks a pair of loners, one of which resembling Lux, and Aldora has to snap him out of it.
