Bear is a very straightforward dog. He's quite calm and relatively easy-going by nature, preferring to avoid political drama for the most part. It's not that Bear is in adament agreement with Junkyard philosophies, just the he's never thought to question the laws before. The Junkyard lifestyle is the only home he's ever known, and their customs are good enough for him. His main focus is himself. He will do anything it takes to survive.

Bear is easily impressable and manipulated by his superiors if they appeal to him in the right way. Being an assasin for the clan, his morals are relatively low. He takes and executes orders wihtout blinking an eye, and rarely if ever feels guilt in the aftermath of his missions. After all, it's nothing personal, just business. Working under Grey keeps food in his bowl and a shelter over his head; he would be a fool to question his rule. He's not exactly happy living within the society, but then again, he can't remember the last time he felt true happiness. 

Bear can be an easy caper amoung the junkyard dogs due to his general disdian for grime and trash. He has his own special berth within the territroy which is where he'll spend most of his down time. He cares little for the other Junkyard dogs, and is not above stealing from his own clan if they have something he desires such as food, blankets, chew toys, ect. He also knows there's nothing his clan-mates can do to retaliate or they'd lose a limb. While he's calm in nature he can transform into a rage-filled beast within a blink of an eye. This makes Bear rather unpopular amoung the dogs, and most know simply to stay out of his way. His opinions regarding the other clans and humans is simply indifference.

Pre-Group History: Bear's remembers very little of his pup-hood. He recalls a farm, and sheep, and a soft tongue cleansing his nose, but not much else. He's not sure if he seeks to hide these thoughts deep within himself or if he truly cannot remember them. Either way, whatever traumatic events that took place early in his life hardened him, making him the emotionless individual he is today. His life truly starts as an emaciated juvenile, wandering the streets of Canidale alone. He had only one goal, and that was to keep himself fed. It was difficult, with humans looking to lock him up and other dogs of the streets in competition with him. He scavenged whatever he could from trash bins but it was not enough to keep the young dog healthy. He took to the train tracks in desperation, feeding off rats and anything he could come across. It was there that a young Bear encountered a more established collie. In return for his loyalty and strength the collie promised Bear a place to stay and all the food he desired. Bear eagerly accepted the offer and he was inducted into the Junkyard society. He learned that the collie's name was Grey, and that he was planning a revolt against the current leader. Bear alligned himself with Grey simply because he was the one providing him with food and shelter. He fought in the revolution alongside Grey and their efforts were victorious. Now he continues to serve Grey as an assasin for the Junkyard dogs.
