History

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

In The Original Series arc

Great Bear Lake

Shesh first appears when Toklo accidentally walks right into him. He tells Toklo about Paw Print Island and the legend of Arcturus. When Oogrook said that a bear must follow the pawsteps of Arcturus to bring back the salmon, Shesh agrees that it was a good idea. But, when Shoteka volunteers Toklo to swim to Paw Print Island, Shesh objects the idea, saying that they couldn't risk the life of a young cub, even if all the grizzly bears were starving.

When Toklo declares that he will swim to Paw Print Island, Shesh mutters in his ear that he doesn't have to do it because he was just a cub, and no bear would think badly of him if he didn't.

Later, Shesh advises Toklo of how to feel the pride and strength of Arcturus by marking his territory on the island, and later tells Toklo that it is time to begin his journey to the island.

Spoiler warning: End of spoiler warning.

Trivia
