Heston was born to average wolves within a pack in the Canadian Wilderness. His first taste of the world was in full summer, emerging from his mother's den for the first time in June. He lived with his birth pack until his first year had passed, before deciding to seek adventure in another pack. He traveled for a while so as not to encounter border disputes with his own family.

After he had chosen his new pack, he slowly began to climb the ladder of ranks(as much as could be expect in a year's time). He enjoyed the tasks of a pack member and dreamed that perhaps he might earn himself a title of beta one day. He was a little over two years old when a drought began to alter life within his pack. Food became scarce and wolves began to die.

The rising tensions lead to a dispute about borderlines with a neighboring pack. Though a meeting of alphas had proclaimed a peaceful period during the time of the drought, hunger and fear drove the two packs to fight. A female he had been showing interest in betrayed the pack. She those that could still walk to an ambush with the promise of food. It is from this fight that Heston gained his scars. An attacking wolf leapt at him and he rose to meet his opponent. They snapped at throats and eyes, paws scrabbling at each other's shoulders. The brute landed a bite on the corner of Heston's muzzle but a returning snap to the brute's undefended ear made him release. He gained the scarring on his forelegs from the others teeth and claws during the battle.

He gained other wounds in battle, though his scars are hidden by fur. In the end he was not badly wounded, and was lucky. His leader, however, was killed. What little was left of the invading pack gathered Heston's remaining companions and demand that they submit to their new alpha, or die. Some refused and were slaughtered, unable to run after exhausting themselves in battle. Others ran and were not chased for the same reason as those who had died, the invaders were too tired to chase them. Some joined the pack, swearing their loyalty to their new leader. Heston gave his answer by spitting blood at the feet of the wolves, unwilling to join ranks with one who would do battle after a peace agreement had been made and live with the female who had turned her back on their pack. He turned and fled as far as he could, unsure if he was being followed. Eventually he found a thicket and stumbled inside and lost consciousness.

It was a slow recovery from that day, for not only was he sore from battle but weak from lack of food. He hoped he might find some of the members who had fled and band together but had no such luck. He fed when he could but continued to roam, weary and with a broken spirit. He mourned his pack and as his body healed, his spirit slowly mended too. He spent all his days as a loner still hoping to find anyone from his old home, but as he traveled further south he slowly lost hope.

He kept much of his humor despite the situation, now using it as a shield to hide his fears. In finding the Teekon Wilds dared to hope that he may find a permanent home here. He completed the vetting process of Silver Creek and soon found himself growing close with the members of the pack.

A friendship formed with Amber Ciel soon brought out the reality of some emotions that he was forming for the pack itself, as well as specific members. Heston feared growing close to the wolves of Silver Creek due to his past, and he was growing increasingly alarmed at the strong bonds forming between himself and two other wolves: Casmir Mayfair and Spring Ciel. After months of attempting to fight the idea, Heston revealed to Casmir that he thought he was gaining feelings for Spring, the alpha of Silver Creek. Not long after this conversation, Spring came into heat. Attempts to avoid Spring during this period proved to be useless, for soon the woman sought Heston herself. After a shared confession of attraction, and of the desire to pursue more they mated in December of 2016. It would soon become clear that Spring was expecting, and Heston was forced to face a whole new set of fears regarding himself and fatherhood.
