Name: Kazuma Silversmith (though all but his family know him only as Kaz) 

Codename: SilverWolf

Age: 26

Gender: Male

place of birth: Northern Ontario, Canada (exact location unknown)

Affiliations: His truest friend is a wolf named Wahaya.

Occupation: officially he has no occupation, and lives off the land. Every few years the United states Government contracts him to train special forces operatives in scouting and hand to hand combat. This was orchestrated by his father, a prominent member of the JTF.

Appearance: 6' tall, 190 pounds, bronzed skin (though not quite as dark as other natives) med length blonde hair loosely swept back. lean, and semi-muscular. commonly wears hand made hide clothing, though will sometimes wear more common attire to blend into a crowd if need be. 

his hero costume involves warpaint of the wolf clan, leather pants and a top that have been hardened in strategic areas, and a wolf fur mantle on his shoulders which hangs just below his waist. 

Powers: heightened strength, speed, awareness, and tactical insight which instinctively draws him to strategically favorable options, (he calls this blood of the wolf) and the ability to foresee a few seconds into his own future at any time. He is also Spiritually bound to his companion Wahaya.

Skills : scouting, hand to hand combat, advanced melee weapons combat, survival skills, and field medicine. He is also a very cunning strategist. 

Equipment: may carry any combination of a tomahawk/hatchet, a self made spear, a self made recurve bow, and two steel knives. always carries two bone knives made from the femurs of a Grizzly bear.

Weaknesses: He is only marginally less vulnerable than an average human, anything that would kill a normal man has a good chance of killing him. He is also bound spiritually to Wahaya, and that could be used against him.

Psychological Profile: Kaz is a bright young man, wise beyond his years, with drive and purpose. Everything he does, he does with confidence and discipline. He has a very strict moral code, and has a very clear idea of what is right and what is wrong. Though he doesn't see the death of evil men to be a bad thing, he tries to avoid it for the sake of the alliance's reputation. Though he can be a bit of a loner at times (as he is accustomed to solitude,) Kaz is very friendly, optimistic, and idealistic. He believes he was given power to protect those who cannot fight for themselves.

Biography: Kaz was born in northern Ontario, to an Irish father (a soldier and martial artist) and an aboriginal mother (a traditional artist, craftswoman, and historian.) Named for his father's sensei and mentor Takeda Kazuma. At a young age, Kaz was presented with the option of being raised in the traditions of his mother's people or a modern lifestyle. Kaz chose the traditional ways as he felt that it would be the only way to find his path. His father, though not born as one of them, adopted the ways of the tribe in order to better lead his son. Kaz received a complex upbringing focused primarily on traditional ways, but combined with all the modern brilliance that his father had to offer. 

Because his father was often moving from base to base, Kaz would travel North America visiting various tribes and Aboriginal communities. He was avid in trying to take all the useful aspects of their ancient traditions, to add to his repertoire. While being taught to track by a Cherokee elder in North Carolina, Kaz was forced to defend himself against an aggressive wolf (of considerable size.) Having nearly lost his life, Kaz spoke out in his frustrations against the "wild beast." His elder escort quickly corrected him, explaining: "Wahaya are no mere beasts; they are protectors of the land, protectors of the woods, and protectors of family." As if on cue, the wolf's pup came running through the brambles in search of its mother. The sight Broke Kaz's heart. He donned the hide of the slain mother, as it was the only way to have the pup leave her side, and committed himself to be the family he had taken away from it. 

At the age of 21, Kaz was on a spirit journey; it was time, as his elder had pointed out, to find his true purpose in this world. He and Wahaya set out into the wilderness and wandered for days. He prayed often, hoping that he would be heard and that his questions would be answered. After nearly 2 weeks, on December 21st, it happened. His powers had been awoken, and he had seen the great spirit. His body was filled with the blood of the wolf (this is metaphorical of course) and he had insight into the course of actions that no others seemed to have. He felt called to rise up as a champion for the weak, and to prepare himself; for a great battle awaits him at the end of the warpath.
