| Name: | Thawed Cave Bear |
|---|
Cave Bear is a surviving cave bear (Ursus Spelaeus) who roamed the mountains of Pleistocene Europe, growing in size and wisdom through several lifetimes. Fated to be the last of his race, several millennia ago he retreated to a mountain cave where his body froze and went dormant for eons. He spent most of the holocene epoch observing the world only in distant dreams, mind, will, and spirit growing all the while. Occasionally worshipped as a god through the medieval period, he began to emerge from hypothermic hibernation in the ninth-century, woken at first a group of vikings with requests for power and wisdom. Knowing, by this point, what he did of the world's eternality and nature, and through this knowledge having gained an immortality beyond the physical, Cave Bear at first granted both the requested boon. Despite this auspicious beginning, however, these men's relationship with Cave Bear would grow much more complicated with time, and in 1341 Cave Bear once again returned to the ice, disturbed and alienated by the course the world was taking. In 2004, he emerged permanently from hypothermic hibernation, to find the mystic culture of man, nature, and fate largely gone, and he currently writes syndicated columns on anthropoid culture, philosophy, and world affairs for various publications, including Ethos Reactor and Harper's, while his ancient doom lies dormant in the shadows, and Sigurd Bear-breaker sharpens his axe, Blood-gulper. Cave Bear currently resides in an internet-capable cave at an undisclosed (to Sigurd) location.
