Ten generations ago, an elderly fifth generation Huntsman, Alexander Silvermane, was returning from his last mission when he came upon a gang of bandits attacking a family of fellow wolf Faunus and their wagon a short distance from his village on the Valean frontier. Though he killed all the brigands, Alexander could only save the youngest of the family, a toddler who's mother called Lucian before she died of her wounds. Taking the child with him, he soon found that the bandits' comrades had already attacked his village. Hiding the boy in a safe place, he drove the attackers away and raced to his home, only to find the bodies of his son and daughter-in-law surrounded by over a dozen slain raiders. Casting about, he followed a trail, and found his grandchildren. Though a mere fifteen, Alexander's eldest grandson, Arcturus I, had defended his siblings, the four-year old twins Alberta and Orion, against the three bandits who had made it past their parents, and slew the last of them with his dying breath. Alexander retrieved his grandchildren, as well as his new foster son Lucian, and led the other survivors to the fortified mountain village of Bastion, where his family, the SIlvermanes, and his order, the Grimmslayers, had been born. The last of his fighting unit among the order, and too old to continue fighting, Alexander retired to help train his family and the survivors of the raided village as new Grimmslayers. Taking Alexander's teaching that the weapons of an warrior defines them literally, Lucian took his surname from his weapon, Moonfang, and married his foster sister Alberta. Togther, they and Alberta's brother Orion Silvermane created the two founding families of Silver Moon, one of the oldest Grimmslayer Clans. Though known throughout the order's history for their valor, it was the actions of the eventual namesake of Orion's slain brother that secured the reputation of the name Arcturus as an harbinger of valor, both among the Clan and Grimmslayers as a whole. Now, fifteen generations after their line became warriors, a third Arcturus has been born from the rejoining of Silvermane and Moonfang blood, and those who know the legends await the day he shall come into his greatness.
