History: Some say he was born of the blood of the land, so heavy was the war that raged at his birth.Their world had never seen such violence and death in all of history. They fought for love and for greed, for power and dominion over all. His faher was the best fighter in th land; the opposing forces dreaded the thought of meeting Aleon on the field of battle, for none could defeat him save his own leader, Oshua and the Tyrant, Klypso, who they fought against. When Eoin was three, and the war still raged, Klypso and Oshua went to battle against each other, each bringing their best warriors with them. The battle lasted for many hours, but soon Oshua grew weary and Klypso dealt him a blow that knocked hm off his feet. The Dark king reared up, ready to deliver a fatal blow to his enemy but Aleon jumped in the way, the final level of devotion reached as he gave up his life for Oshua's. Klpso's hooves drove into Aleon's skull, damaging his brain on impact and crushing it when they hit the floor. Oshua was able to flee and was forced to deliver the news to Aleon's family, but not only had son and wife lost father and mate, Oshua's forces had lost their best weapon.
Eoin was devastated at the news of his father's death. He would turn three in a few days, and as was custom in their land, he would go through a series of tests to determine if he was to become a warrior or kicked out of the herd as a weakling. He, however, unlike the other colts, did not have a father to test with, as was also custom. Despite the setbacks, Eoin was determined to live up to his father's name and showed such bravery, skill, and cunning during his training for the test, that they bi-passed the test completely. Eoin continued training until he was the Oshua's new weapon. Unfortunately, Eoin's prowess in battle had come to late and Klypso had come out victorious in this six year war.
Under Klypso's new regime, the first law passed was the killing of all of Oshua's warriors, save one, Eoin. Klypso new his warriors were no match for Eoin anyway, even outnumbered ten to one. Instead they brought Eoin to Klypso where he would become the Dark king's second-in-command. Eoin was furious, but could do nothing. Grudgingly, for four years he served the king who had killed his father, doing his dirty work. He was disgusted with it and decided he had had enough. A group of former Darks had decided they too were fed up with Klypso's tyranny and under Eoin's command, led a revolt. After more bloodshed and death, the dictatorship crumbled and Eoin left the empire in the hands of fellow revolters. He had had enough.
For a year Eoin roamed from country to country, not quite sure what he was looking for. To the ones he had left behind, he was a legend and he heard extremely exaggerated tales of himself told many places he went. Many speculated on where he had dissappeared to. Some say he had killed himself to join the spirit of his father, now that Klypso had been overthrown (and killed, by the way) Others said he was off fighting another war, while some said the truth, that he was simply wandering the earth, helping those that needed it. Soon, however, he grew tired of the long treks through the countryside and mountains and settled instead into a river valley, where he hears war may be brewing. Sunshine Rover is what some say it's called. Soon, with his help perhaps, that golden river may turn red.

He is now staying in an old friend's herd in Misty Falls.
