History:

Zeel is the son of an accomplished but dead warrior named Seld. Growing up hearing stories of his father's glory from others and especially his mother, he wanted nothing more than to become just like his great warrior of a father. Seld had an ego, a heavy hand, fiery temper, and a loud voice. His mother Frin, a quiet voiced small elf, with soft brown hair and golden eyes. She was a complete contrast to his father's dark black hair and dark black eyes. Seld was a hard man to live with for a child, using discipline to mold his son into a little warrior. Seld treated his life-mate like a queen however, adoring her and showering her with affection and gifts. Frin is a witty, sharp tongued, stern mother, known for her common sense and good advice. An only child, he had his mother's and father's undivided attention. This made him a selfish child. When his mother expressed concern because the fawn had no playmates and would think only of training, Seld merely laughed and boasted he was a chip off the same stone.

Then came the day Seld didn't come home from a routine patrol. Frin had worried but she knew that this was the fate of all those who wield a warrior's name. After three days, she accepted him as dead and danced for him. She told her teary eyed little son that his father was a proud warrior and that he must always be proud as well. If he didn't he would dishonor the blood his father had given him. From then on Zeel swore to be the best at anything he tried, and that he would be well liked like his father. However, as he grew into adulthood, his ego got bigger than most liked to swallow. He grew tall, strong, confident, and proud. To him, he was every bit like the father he could remember. Because of the influence of his mother, any strong willed female can usually bully him into anything. He is unusually good looking and he knows it, but his ego is usually a turn off most in the long term. The few he has had dalliances with have never stuck around due to rough demeanor. Any maidens/lads who roll in the furs with him had never had anything serious come out of it. His youth was like most any other Go-Back and he spent an inordinate amount of time working out and perfecting his physique. As an adult he continued to dedicate himself to physical fitness. Even now he can be found working out in the training yard or running on the scout trails daily.

Zeel loves weaponry. He loves it so much that studied under Allegro to make them for himself. He views the warriors of the tribe as his peer group, and therefore he competes almost constantly. If he isn't the best, he will be once he's done practicing. His resolve to push himself comes from trying to fill the shoes of his father. He learned sleight of hand from his good friend Vugad and uses it to keep the children entertained, as well as for combat though it has few uses in that capacity. The children all enjoy the treats he makes appear for them, and the stories he tells them about his exploits (fawn friendly of course). They also enjoy riding on his back as he is quick to offer a ride to the smaller ones.

The trolls attacked with poison and he lost several dear friends which made him start to rethink his life and experience grief in a way he was not prepared for. He fell in love with Nyrah when she arrived on the mountain which was possibly the worst thing he could have done as she continues to toy with his emotions to this day. She made a lasting impact on his life despite the atrocities she had driven him to and he owed his new ability to feel to his experiences with her.

One of his regular fur-mates Rhet got pregnant and it was either Yarl or himself who fathered the fawn. There was a brief but intense rivalry between them which ended when the fawn came out with Yarl's hair. The event stirred up something inside of the hunter and he now thinks about things he never thought about before. He is still soul searching and seeking to find the solution for the chaos that the concept of love has caused in his life. He has started to pick up new playmates as his ego is in need of constant feeding and the new tribe-member Hida has caught his interest for now. In light of recent events with Kellera, Zeel believed that his best friend's child Jes might be his. He found himself in another rivalry, this time with Garech and Jes turned out to be Zeel’s. Determined to make it work he tried to get along with Garech rather than fight with sparked an avalanche of feelings between all involved.

Nyrah took advantage of this to manipulate Garech and himself into a public fight that injured both of them badly. Zeel lost a piece of his ear and nearly all the respect his dear friends had for him while Garech nearly lost his life. He struggled to recover their respect and has since buried the hatchet with them. His apologies to Kellera and Garech were hard, and the one to Jes was even harder. The hunter turned blacksmith is now trying to live his life in relative peace while sorting out his feelings about what it means to have a family and people to care about.
