Attacus was born as strong and healthy younger brother of Polyphemus, and was chosen for the path of a Defender. Determined to make his parents and older brother proud, he trained day and night, soon rising to the top of his class. Being the son of the chief, even if he wasn't the heir, meant he had high standards to uphold. He did well to stay strong and was great at fighting, but his heart was too big to actually hurt a soul unless he absolutely had to. Because of this, he made it a goal to subdue or talk if possible, and that worked quite well for him. As Attacus grew older, he saw that being a chief wasn't what he was meant to be. He didn't want to rule a tribe, but to follow his brother and any other just Wilak that came to rule. What he wanted most was a normal life, and a normal ranking. Eventually he took a mate for himself, a young lass named Wisteria. The two were very happy with each other, hitting it off almost immediately. It didn't much matter to Attacus that his mate was barren. He loved her all the same. And he wouldn't need to raise his own heirs anyways. He was determined to stay in a normal rank. Once Atlas was born, Attacus shaved down his horns to relinquish his place in the heir succession. He was more than happy to rule under his nephew once the time came. And he felt relieved without the pressure of chiefdom threatening to come down on any given moment. He could focus all of his time on wife and fulfilling his job as defender. However, that time of joy had to come to an end. Four decades ago, Wisteria died of an unknown cause. Attacus was devastated when he found out, and to this day her body is still missing. He's tried his best to move on, although he still searches for any signs of his former mate so that he can put her to rest. He won't let the sadness weigh him down though. He knows Wisteria would want him to be happy, and so he tries his best. Enough time has passed for him to consider starting a family again, although he's cautious about the idea. Deep within, he does miss the feeling of that kind of love. kin: Brother- Polyphemus Sister-in-law- Candor Nephew- Atlas Ancestor- Prometheus Mate(former)- Wisteria
