Elka Windblade is a quiet woman with a dark past. Elka’s family was once a proud family of great bear shifters from the continent of Tal’Dorei. However Elka for whatever reason was born as a wolf shifter. At first her parents fought over potential infidelity, after a while realizing that no such thing had happened they came to the conclusion that their god, Hircine, had chosen to curse them for their complacency. Elka’s family was very intent on keeping their bear shifter lineage alive, even her father was brought into the family specifically because he was a bear shifter. To appease their god they traveled abroad to the decrepit and lawless town of Shady Creek run in an attempt to cleanse it regaining their gods favor once again. They spent countless hours and endless amounts of money but the people simply did not want their help. Elka grew up in the destitution the city brought. Even after all that time had passed her parents did not accept her so Elka left to prove herself. She joined a predatory gladiator guild and accrued an insane amount of debt through unwise dealings. In the gladiator circles she was known as “The Mutt” and was forced to fight in her wolfish form for the entertainment of many. Philomela the Beloved was in attendance at one of her bouts and offered to buy out Elkas contract, releasing her from the guild's clutches. These days she works as a security guard for the young Caspar Highcaller, head of the Gilded Compass. She plans to pay off her debts and go find her parents again, to at least tell them off.
