Previously, the King of the Marshes, Shaamah was of royal blood and lived his youngest years striving for the trophy of survival in a world that valued only the strong and diligent. With a swampland pack that fought harder to usurp his throne than conquer their enemies, it didn't take long for his lands to fall victim to the manifest destiny of their neighbors. With no pride in this pack to go down with this ship of mutineers that sought him dead, as did his enemies, he made the choice to flee the warzone and leave those that struggled to find his leadership enough at the mercy of his foes.

Gone of the Marshes, Shaamah traveled north. He satiated the deathwishes of any fool tempted enough to try their strength against his, and left a trail of tall tales in his wake as he finally arrived to Nova Scotia. There, he found that the winters were much more pleasant than the humidity of the marshes, and after being a loner for what seemed months, the beast finally settled down in a pack called Sapient. It was the price to pay at the beck of a man who'd cauterized an arrow wound for the beast, elsewise Shaamah would have remained a loner. Finding the benefits of pack life again, however, he chose to stick it out with the Sapien's. They didn't quite understand who he was, but with good intention and an easier way of life, Shaamah and the Sapiens he lived among finally found even ground.

It wasn't long until the soldier had gone up a few ranks, building relationships along the way with his fellow packmates that neither of them understood quite how it all worked. What Sapient knew was that they had a loyal protector, and Shaamah by nature was willing to fill the shoes to aid in the pack's survival, even when the heavens fell. Charred and damaged, Miwa, the pack's local medic, put the beast back together with the prize of a trade for his life. Through this contract, Miwa was prized with a litter of Shaamah-sired whelps, to whom Shaamah desired nothing more to do with than the conception itself.

In the mean time, Shaamah's past had caught up with him. Ohja and Sinner, of his lineage and legacy, both had tracked him down with the notion of bringing the beast to a grave, to which eventually was fueled by a hatred for the pack that took him in. Sapient fought alongside him, defending their home and effectively killing Sinner, while Ohja scrambled off to leave his comrades to die. To the Sagax, Nivosus', direction, Shaamah left for the University of New England offsite of Sapient to allow time for the pack to recover, and any other bits of the soldier's past to clear up before returning. All the while, leaving Tierney behind, questioning whether or no Shaamah was a good fit for her future.

After months in the University, nothing of Shaamah's past came up. No stragglers looking to fight the behemoth, and nothing but time on the soldiers side. He eventually learned to write, among intense training with new weapons. He and the rest at the University agreed, and they sent word to Nivosus that he was ready to return to Sapient to dedicate his life to their borders once again. It seemed he had re-entered their ranks just in time for another crisis. Sapien's were being murdered and going missing, ultimately leading Sapient into a raid of the caverns where their friends had been kidnapped and stored. It was in this battle that Shaamah lost his right eye from a wooden club to the face.

While there was peace in the time it took for Shaamah to heal from his impressive injury, there was a murder that gripped Sapient. On edge due to the previous kidnappings, the pack was called together by Asura, and a note was found on the corpse of Leonardo. It was assumed that the murderer had been Nivosus, and in that note revealed a history with the late Miwa and a bad trade that ended in the death of Diarmid. Despite their attempts to find Nivosus, he had fled in the night, and Sapient disbanded. Furious with the scheme that had happened beneath his nose, he left Sapient without so much as a goodbye, and moved on to Amherst. There he worked as a merc for hire, until Helena came to him with the opportunity to join Salsola. He made way for Salsola soon after, but not before imprisoning Zetsubou as and indentured servant.

When he arrived at Salsola's borders, he swore his loyalty to Elphaba and Salsola.

• October

The Fall of the Grey Paw pack was nigh. Through various attempts on Shaamah's life in the past year, the Marsh King was growing ever paranoid of his own kind, much less the Red Paws that encroached on his borders. The General of the Red Paw Army broke the Grey Paw borders and chaos unfolded. Shaamah was no coward, but he knew that there were things that were worth dying for, and that the Grey Paws were not one of them. With no reason to go down with this ship of mutineers that sought him dead, he made the choice to be rid of the warzone and leave those that struggled to find his leadership worthy at the mercy of his foes.
