History

The Quest Begins

Nanuk was one of the bears that Kallik met when she was captured by no-claws by the Burn-Sky Gathering Place. She had cubs before she was captured, but their fate is unknown. She was reluctant to talk about it, so they are presumably dead. The no-claws covered Kallik in a strange smelling liquid, and put her in with Nanuk. Nanuk told Kallik the no-claws covered her in the liquid so it would hide her scent from her, in the hope she would take her in. Nanuk decided to care for her. She comforted Kallik, saying that she couldn't replace her mother but she could act like it. When the no-claws tried to release Nanuk and Kallik back into the wild, they carried them in a net under a metal bird. As they traveled, something went wrong with the metal bird and it crashed to the ground. Nanuk was badly wounded from the crash and died not long after. As she was dying, she told Kallik that she wouldn't be able to care for her, and that she should find Taqqiq—if he was still alive.

Great Bear Lake

Nanuk doesn't make a physical appearance but, Qanniq, one of the white bears at Great Bear Lake, ask if anyone seen Nanuk lately. Kallik told her and some other bears that Nanuk had died.
