Ico was born some ways out East in a place called Walnut Grove. It's a nice wooded area with a river running through it. But with no viable skills or strengths to offer the pack, Ico was politely (but firmly) directed to leave when he reached adolescence.

He roamed out West, rejected by one pack after another; until a clutch of darkling warriors took a shine to him. Ursus, the pack at Bearclaw Valley. They were an accepting bunch of oddities, but proceeded with increasingly dark, cultish practices that eventually drove a frightened Ico from their ranks. So after a Summer training and pondering in the mountains, Ico sought a new home: Neverwinter Forest.
