Taseko was an Outrigger in Krokar. He was born in Tuktoyaktuk into the Qimmiq tribe, leaving to strike out on his own once he became two years old. He wandered with a small caribou herd that was gifted to him by the tribe until he was ambushed, resulting in the death of two caribou.
Soon after he met a man named Gavin and the pair has not been apart since, going as far as to stick together when they joined a small group of canines.
After a hurricane, followed by a flood, rocked the group, the band moved to Nova Scotia after two of their companions, August Cormier and Lucille, sent back word of suitable land for the gang. Eventually the formation of Krokar came to fruition, and Taseko became one of its founding members and first Herdsman of the new pack.
Taseko left Krokar before its disbandment at the end of October 2018, joining Lucille and others down to Old Ironsides. He acted as one of the primary caretakers of Krokar's caribou, carrying on this role in the Old Ironsides Trade Depot. A quiet man by nature, Taseko is living the peaceful life that he desires.

4. History
Taseko was born into the Qimmiq tribe in Tuktoyaktuk as the youngest pup in the litter, preceded by his boisterous sisters, Eska and Anyu. From an early age he showed interest in the tribe's caribou and displayed a gift with the beasts along with various other animals. Once he was able to shift, he participated as one of the herders in the Qimmiq tribe with a specialty and preference for the caribou herds, while also studying diligently alongside his sisters how to read and write. When he reached adulthood, entranced by the outside world that was described by the traders and trappers who would visit Tuktoyaktuk, he decided to strike out on his own. Upon his departure, he was gifted five caribou.
However, Taseko was ambushed by a small band of wolves, resulting in the death of two of his caribou and injury to himself. Shortly after he met a man named Gavin.
Taseko offered to share his supplies when he decided the male wasn't about to immediately attack his small herd, and he two canines got along well, so Gavin stayed with him. Early spring had been harsh, with deep melting snow too soft to walk on and difficult to hunt in. The pair needed to trade for some supplies, and found what they needed from a pair of coydogs, Pepper and Claude, who offered to let them stick around and pitch in until the hunting got better. They met the rest of the group, which soon continued to grow, and then, sadly, shrink when two dogs were lost to a hurricane. However, all shared their skills with each other, teaching and learning.
In 2014, the home they had built near a river flooded, washing away most of their homes, supplies, and some of their livestock. Luckily all of the canines escaped, as did some of their animals. Lucille and Gus set off to find somewhere else to live, having traveled fairly extensively themselves on the way back from when Gus found her. In the meantime, the rest of the group salvaged what they could and then set off when they were notified.
Once they arrived, they met even more new canines. Their new home had been decided upon, so Iroquois got to work with the rest to start settling in.
