Notes: Ciuraq started out Joshua, a scared, slightly nerdy Glass Walker cub with Cat. After he completed his ROP, he had considerable turmoil with Natalie, the Glass Walker Don at the time. Retreating to the Bawn, he helped start the Guardian pack Manitou's Ridgeline with Jacinta, Holly and Horace. While Guardian, he battled Black Spiral Dancers who attacked the Caern during The Great Hunt of 2004, and later, had his age warped forward 5 years by The Sands of Time that warped the Caern.

After a while (2004), Joshua was expelled from the Glass Walker tribe by Cockroach during a teaching session on moot etiquette, and the Ahroun went looking for a new tribe. He underwent a quest for Uktena in 2005, died, was eaten by Scrags, had his spirit take a brief jog back from whence it came, and was then reborn by Uktena the spirit.

Given the name Ciuraq ~Circle Keeper~ Aketachunak, he says he's Jacinta's younger brother. He speaks fairly-fluent Yup'ik, especially around/with Jacinta. He spent the next year acting as Guardian and beta of Ridgeline, where he faught invading Wyrm things on scattered occasions, including more scrags, some Fomori, and a few other Banes. He also is known to have learned a small repertoire of Rites since then.

He claimed Gatekeeper after the position was left by Dakota in February of 2006. He challenged Jamethon ~Reflection's-Howl~, the then Warder and Get Elder, for Fostern in February of 2006, and passed on his first try by slaying a very large, wyrm tainted Glass Elemental on his own. He claimed eldership of his tribe in March of 2006. In June 2006, he and his pack lead an attack on an encampment of Black Spiral Dancers on the edge of their territory, where he killed at least one.

With the disbanding of Ridgeline in 2007, he, Jacinta and Fernando formed a new war under weasel named Blizzard's Teeth. At the 2007 failed Great Hunt, he worked with one of his packmates to kill some of the attacking Black Spiral dancers. In the months after that, he racked up quite the body count as he and his pack pro-actively sought out wyrm critters to kill, leading to the deaths of many dozens of fomori, and a handful of banes. All this while he's kept himself isolated from the sept, having very little to do with them.

In 2008, he led a living, breathing quetzalcoatl back to Mexico, where Nuwisha tried to prank him repeatedly. The pranks, each time, got turned around back on the Nuwisha. Shortly after this, he led the The Great Hunt on a successful attack into a warehouse that produced wyrm tainted weapons. He participated in the raids against the Spokane Black Spiral Dancer threat, though in a not terribly well known ways; the ways that are known are controversial, with with some alleging he abandoned his station to attack a greater force without aid.

There were vague rumours that he had grown fond of Taina, but the two's relationship ended sometime in 2009. He left Blizzard's Teeth under terse terms with Jacinta, to form his own pack Reaching with Horace and Eztli, under Uktena. He began another, very long rotation of Guardianship starting in July 2009, and going until Feburary 2010.

In 2009, it became clear to many in the sept that he was afflicted with increasingly deep depression, to the point where he surrendered eldership of the Uktena tribe to a cliath without a fight, and suddenly and publicly surrendered to Kathryn-Laura over a matter he had previously fought her over. His depression continued to deepen to the point where it was brought up at moots. After which, the Uktena sought some sort of help of an unknown nature. In December, he returned looking temporarily emaciated, and horribly frostbitten, but acting generally well. He claimed eldership back from Fernando soon after.

Most Garou at the sept know him as a bitter, feral warrior, and he's prone to be mistaken for lupus by those who don't know him very well. While his pack and close associates know him as a quite personable, if sometimes grumpy, individual, the most of the sept sees a insular and scrappy, wolfish ahroun with fewer social skills than road kill. Only a handful of people still alive have actually seen him in homid over the years.

He's also developed a reputation for being a trafficker of Spirits, having more dealings with them than many Theurge at the sept have had. On occasion, he seems to come by knowledge that he should not, by all rights, know at all. This is compounded by the fact that he's often loath to discuss where he gets any information; squeezing that information out of him is often like getting wine from rocks.

He's repeatedly on the record as saying Joshua's spirit returned from whence it came upon Joshua's death, and he is decidedly not the same person in the very real, literal way. In 2009, some noted that he does not look or smell like Joshua did, anymore. While Garou tradition backs his claims, there are still those who call him White Bear or Joshua. They rarely, if ever, do this in his presence however.
