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 semi-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.
Most Garou at the sept know him as a bitter, feral guardian, 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. 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. While Garou tradition backs his claims, there are still those who call him White Bear. They rarely, if ever, do this in his presence however.
