The Past - - -

Family: unknown
History:
Noctus was born to a mare that had bred with a roaming stallion shortly before she joined a medium-sized herd led by a different stallion. Because of this, he was mostly disliked and ignored by other members of the herd, especially by the Lead who outright hated him, but the dislike was mutual and he never cared to form any relationships.

As Noctus grew older, the lead stallion only detested him more as he began to feel threatened by the bastard foal, and eventually decided to kill him before he could reach maturity. However, as he approached mother and foal during the night, the colt woke just before the stallion made his move. Out of rage and hatred, Noctus attacked the stallion with every intention of killing him but wasn’t strong enough to hold his own and was driven off.

He eventually found a band of bachelor stallions to roam with for a while before deciding to make his own way in the world. However, on one winter day he spotted the exact same herd and stallion at the edge of a frozen lake. Overcome by a sense of vengeance, he attacked the Lead. The fight took them out onto the ice, which caved in and both were plunged into the frigid water. The ice was too fragile to hold as he attempted to get his forelegs out of the water, so eventually hypothermia and exhaustion took them both.

It was moorwater streams that fed the lake, so sometime in the early spring when the ice melted, Noctus awoke to find himself partially submerged in water. Somewhat confused by an odd feeling that he no longer needed to breathe, he left the shallows and made his way to the shore where he tried to make sense of his hazy memories. It was then that he realized that he couldn’t be alive, even though his body looked no different.

Since then, along his wanderings he met others who experienced similar circumstances, but he never stayed long enough to grow attached to any. Even now, he still travels his own path and would rather rely on his own strength than put his trust in others, but perhaps someday he will find someone who is able to prove him wrong.
