<span style="font-weight: bold">Background</span>

Shane's entire life was dominated by the importance of his birth. He's the twin brother of Sarah O'Neally who unlike him was denied her genetical heritage and would never go through the change. After the disappointment Sarah turned out to be the tribe put all it's focus and attention on the young boy who struggled with emotional outbrakes from his early childhood. The Elders took those as signs of an unusual early change and some even though of him as being exceptionally gifted.

At the age of 8 he was seperated from his sister who had been the only constant factor in his life till then. She was the only one who could sooth his rage and without her he felt lost and disoriented. The following years were a constant fights and struggle to keep the boy under control. Shane's condition got worse and worse but the Elders kept persisting that those were signs of his change which should come soon.

Shane learned the rules and history of the tribe and got some basic school education but unlike other kids he never went to school since it was too dangerous. As he got older his resentment grew and built up to a hot gleaming hatred for his heritage. Everyone expected him to be someone he didn't feel he was, for someone he had no understanding of. All he knew was a life of denial and pain… and lots of rage.

One fateful day he managed to break free from the tribe seeking his fortune alone always on the run and never really knowing peace or safety. His rage a constant companion. Shane felt it under his skin. The change was imminent but it didn't come. He prayed that it would give him some kind of release – that it would grant him freedom but instead it only increased his desperation. For a few months he found a way to live helping out at a highroad gas-station as a mechanic. His life was slowly taking a shape that resembled ‚normal' and as long as he kept to himself his rage-issues wouldn't surface.

Almost a year into his ‚freedom' he fell in love with a beautiful young woman who managed to catch his attention in a way that soothed his inner demons. In her presence he almost felt normal and he quickly proposed in an overjoyed moment. That she would accept seemed like a miracle to him and for once in his life he thought that he was doing the right thing and that it bought off.

Only 2 days after the wedding he went through the change… and killed her. The only thing he can remember was an attack – they were on their honeymoon back from Vegas and he had the biggest black out of his life…

In his unending rage he destroyed everything that reminded him of her and ran away like he never ran before… his quest finding his Sister Sarah, the only human being he had left in his life.
