Star Captain Oren was a Clan Ghost Bear Trueborn warrior in the late 30th century.[1]
History
In early 3040, Oren participated in the Clawing Ritual on Strana Mechty with five other participants including one Aletha Kabrinski, prior to her winning her Bloodname. Their party had been reduced to just Oren and Aletha when they discovered a Ghost Bear. They initiated a plan to kill the beast, but their hunt was interrupted by Dark Caste bandits, led by one "Captain" Ruel, who had landed a DropShip nearby to harvest ice and water from a nearby frozen lake.[1]
Oren and Aletha were captured by the bandits who then stripped Oren of his clothes when he resisted. Ruel offered Oren his clothes back if he would just pledge to serve him on his ship, but Oren refused. Oren had nearly frozen to death in the cold winter weather when Aletha killed the bandits and rescued him.[1]
Notes
The ending of the short story has Oren near death when he is rescued by Aletha. The last line of the story has Aletha seeing that Oren closed his eyes, but it was unclear if he had temporarily passed out or if he had succumbed to the weather and perished.[1]
