Amaroq-Katiktuk Nunavikup-Kigun

(Great white wolf, fang of the tundra)

Amaroq (Ah-mah-rook, "the great wolf") is a recent addition to the Iñupiaķ. Having been mortally wounded by Mydwurms whilst acting as a bodyguard for a Vanwarim delegation, he has since received Siku's Grace and been adopted by the Whispersong.

Since joining the Iñupiaķ, Amaroq has become counted amongst the ranks of the Adulal Niente and acts in the capacity of an Operator. In times of war, Amaroq supports the Warsong, specialising in light-armoured skirmishing.

Pre-Iñupiaķ
Amaroq’s memories of his time before joining the Iñupiaķ are hazy, more imprints than clear stories. Hailing from the South, he was one of the Vanwarim, the wood elves from the lands of green and gold. A skilled warrior with little political involvement, the elf who would become Amaroq lived a mostly solitary existence. However, he was known to hire out as bodyguard from time to time in return for funds or supplies he could not obtain from the forest.

Armaments
Due to previous injuries, Amaroq avoids use of shields and other direct-impact arms, instead preferring to flow through battle. In his youth, he studied under an elder swordsman who specialised in the use of two-handed blades. This training has held true til the present, where Amaroq now wields Kikuyatap-Atanik.

A blade forged by the Vanwarim, Amaroq had this sword commissioned after battling the Kurahasu and developing a fondness for the foreigner’s blades. As a blend between Kurahasu and Vanwarim sensibilities, the blade was named Draug’Duin ("wolf river"), the blade who flows through battle like water and bites with the wolf’s fangs.

Since receiving Siku's Grace, Draug’Duin’s sun-kissed blade burned Amaroq to the touch. As such, he sought out the Iñupiaķ of the Mindsong, and had the blade reforged under Siku’s blessing as Kikuyatap-Atanik ("Bridge between heaven and earth", lit. Aurora’s Ismuth).
