Torak

Torak at his most difficult is dark, brooding and thoughtless, but most of the time he is caring and considerate, and protective of his friends. In the later books he begins to get overprotective of Renn, much to her anger and dismay. He often tries to be secretive and cover up his true nature by acting dark and brooding as mentioned before, but is inherently open and honest, and cannot do this for long, though he is going through incredible stress and so is naturally sometimes depressed.

Torak was born in the Great Yew tree in the Deep Forest. His mother was Red Deer Clan and his father was Wolf Clan. Torak thought he was Wolf Clan too, but later on, he finds out that his mother, at the cost of making him a Spirit Walker, made him clanless and soon after, she died. Toraks' Fa had been part of the group known as "The Healers." A group dedicated to healing the sick, but turned evil and is now called the Soul Eaters. As a baby, Torak was raised away from people with the exception of the Clan Meet by the Sea. After his Fa was killed by a bear sent by the Soul Eaters, he had to live on his own until caught by the three Raven Clan hunters, Renn, Hord, and Oslak. After running away from the Ravens with Renn, he found the three peices of the Nanuak and took it to the Mountain of the World Spirit to destroy the demon bear. His only living relative, Bale, was killed by Thiazzi, the Oak Mage while on the Seal Islands. Like everyone else Torak meets, he didn't trust him at first. Toraks pack brother, Wolf, is a majestic Gray Wolf who Torak saved when he was a cub. His other best friend, Renn, supports him and often doses him with common sense when he gets impulsive. She has saved his life on more than one occasion.

A while after Torak saved Wolf from the Soul Eaters in the Far North, he was cast out by the clans because he bear the mark of the Soul Eater. He was brought back to the clans after warning them about a great flood coming from the Ice River that borders Lake Axehead. After Bale was killed, Torak went to the Deep Forest with Fin-Kedinn and Renn to hunt down Thiazzi before he could turn the Deep Forest clans against the Open Forest clans.
