History:
Hakan was born into Kavu with a twin brother, Lallo. They were very close, but Hakan was more ambitious, while Lallo was playful and easy-going, kinder than his brother and able to make friends easily. Neither of the pups knew of what their Alpha was doing to the other packs, and neither were strong enough to protect themselves when Vespen and Fenguard attacked.
Hakan ran into the forest to hide, watching from his cover as his mother and father were killed by a Vespen warrior.
He hadn't seen his brother, but knew that he as well must have been killed in the attack.
Hating himself for not having been strong enough to protect his family, Hakan ran away, his aching paws carrying him far from Kavu's territory, where he was found by a she-wolf who he soon learned was called Anzu, and a member of Myrul. Seeing that he was just a pup, Anzu took him to the Alpha and asked to raise him as her own pup, as she was sterile, unable to have children despite that being one of her only wishes.
The Alpha agreed, and Hakan was taken in by Myrul. When his Coming-of-Age Ceremony came, Hakan had trained very hard during his six months in Myrul, and Ravi saw much potential in him. He took in the pup as his apprentice and Hakan began to learn the ways of a Shade. His skills grew and he became a very skilled fighter, yet it was never enough for him. He continued to train, growing and growing as he obsessed over becoming the best. It was his fear that there would be another attack, this time on Myrul, the fear than in this attack, Anzu would be killed and there would be nothing he could do about it.
