Muordoch has been independent since the day that he could be. For the entirety of his life, he depended on wolves and other predators for food, but kept his distance. One day, when flying over Donnelaith, Muordoch was bested by a hawk for food and the hawk injured his wing. What was meant to be a grave injury was saved by a pale she-wolf. Indebted to her, Muordoch gave the wolf three feathers to use for three times she would be in need. Otherwise, Muordoch is a pest for all likes of avian creatures.
