A tall wolf—long, a corded, rangy strength about him, with deep black fur and particularly pronounced, dense hackles down his nape and shoulders. His eyes are a sharp dark blue, as he very much gets his looks from his mother.

Seems quiet, but painfully alert, observant and pointedly curious; sometimes intense, but with a dash of mischief and impudence to it to offset a nature that can be awfully serious sometimes, too. Difficult to read for the uninitiated. Sly and stealthy, he is a sharp, knowledge-seeking creature. Topped off with a brewing case of survivor's guilt.

After the summer's first full moon, he arrived earthside along with his littermates—the firstborns to Moonspear's newly-ascended second alphas, Hydra and Dirge Ostrega. With a healthy reverence for their family and their home, they grew fierce, and trained hard, strong even in the face of nature's hardships over the course of their first year.

He made for a good student—one who liked to think, and stay competitive against the other yearlings, all seemingly to his advantage most times. Then, around their first year, the firstborns welcomed younger siblings, and soon after, young cousins. They ventured into new roles and further into the threads of packlife on the mountainside. In all of this, Antares found a natural craving for the fight, and a growing curiosity in what he could busy his mind with beyond. Thanks to a summer of growth and plenty on the mountainside, the Ostrega were able to fully reinforce their claim on old hunting grounds in Firefly Glen with Osiris leading an offshoot of the pack there—alongside the support of his brothers Antares and Atlas, and several of the pack's other key faces. For the autumn, all as well. Then winter turned on them in many ways: the bear that started it by tearing into the wolves of the Spear and Glen, then of Atlas' resulting disappearance, the snowstorms, and Osiris' death.. Antares inherited the helm of Firefly Glen in the midst of such grief.
-Moonspear's meteor, resulting landslides and presumed end to many of his family. Antares searched the rubble for survivors and was injured in his own efforts.
