The raven's eye that is missing, has the symbol of the three locking triangles, symbolizing the slain and the transition from life to death. as well as his own chosen deity from birth,Odin coming from the sense that those that die are taken by crows to the afterworld.
The symbol that takes place of the wolf's missing eye is the helm of awe,
a circle formed by eight interlocking three pointed pitchforks with three lines underneath them. The eye of the wolf symbolizes the dark side of might, protection and individuality, and may also point to the wolf Fenrir, the black wolf demon god that swallowed the sun.

Biography:Alex, at the time was not originally a member of a supernatural pack, but a regular family member, connected by his sister Silver(alisa), his brother Whisp(Max) who were the main part of his family. Born to a normal family life, quickly went awry when EOD struck. Without the boundaries of human law, the loss of the very human boundary, Alex, now awakened as Rune, quickly took the role of his ancestry, a norse warrior, which was made even more apparent when the radiation of the toxicity, gave him the ability to shift, from a bird, to a wolf, however, along with such an ability came the mind of the animal, the aggression, the territorial nature of the beasts both of land and sky.
Soon after, it got worst when he found out that his family, had gotten seperated.
His sister, Alisa, and Brother, Max up to quite recently had been with him out doing some shopping, goofing off, and just being brothers, and sisters. After EOD;Everything changed. he took up arms with whatever to defend himself, which turned out to be his own very arms and legs for a while anyway, his own rationality quickly reminded him of his role of the child, which in itself made him feel like what was happening, wasn’t happening, but what could he do? He was looking at the very sight of burned,scorched earth that now was under his feet, the smell of burned, rotting flesh, the smell of gasoline, and fire roasted metal, the sound of screams, and crying, and then silence as those that were injured, either dyed, or picked themselves up.
It just would not stop, the thoughts of ‘what’s my next move??’ Until one night when he was walking through the scorched city, and two guys ran up on him, but they weren’t a team, but opposings that he bumped into; A cryocamancer, someone that could wield the very power of ice itself, a firestarter, someone that could wield the very power the fire. He didn’t know it at the time, but they were going to be the beginning of his pack. After surviving an ambush, and a double-sided fight, he heard both their stories and couldn’t help but feel like he was bonded to these two. What could possibly go wrong? It couldn’t hurt to make a pact? Upon him getting to know these two, getting into quite a few conversations, he broke down and told them that his Brother, and Sister were missing.
Upon him feeling like it once again wasn't true...It was revealed after trying to be hidden from him, that both Mike, and Blake were friends of Alisa’s, but that she didn’t go by that name anymore; She went by Shade. a Riser warrior in one of the many prides that were created; This drive Alex over. It was then, that moment, when everything came to a head for him, both good and bad; . That vision of him being a protector, that sense of being the postive role model, the sense that he would do anything to keep everyone safe, Shattered and in so doing, his very sense of being a child, broke with it in such a way, that his very conviction locked on, and went up and over, his mind tripled, as the very sense of what to do seemed to slow time itself, and allowed him to focus, and it made him extremely dangerous. He didn't just want his Sister, Alisa, he needed her, but it would be difficult, and would probably cost them everything.
So now With Frost(Blake), and Alpha(Mike), Alex, now being named Rune after his conviction, power, and ancestral background, set off to one of the many Pride systems, each one a church, and the one that they were looking for...was one of the many in europe that was hungered for blood, and to be on top with Jaws and claws, and alot of power in this new society. Rune had been a protector of his line, and Alisa had backed him many times, and his brother too, but that was then, when life had no need to fight for survival, but now
the evidence was quite clear that lines had now been drawn for survival and now Life was no longer a right, but a prize to be fought over and guarded. It was always told by the mom that he would one day either have to choose his own goals, or Alisa’s, He just didnt predict it would have been on a such a grand scale..With a wolf on his left shoulder, giving off the sense of might, and protection of himself, and those around him, and a Crow on his other shoulder, with the symbol of the slain, and the flowing transition of life to death, and death to everlasting life again. It seemed more and more likely, that Life was giving him a huge wake-up call by giving him his own crew, symbolized by the bond he now had with Frost’s cold calculated accuracy, and Alpha’s passion for leadership.
With his warrior experiences from his dejavu-like dreams in front of him, and his past life as a town citizen behind him, How Far will he go to meet up with his sister? And what will he sacrifice?
