Where did the Raven begin, then? It is not certain that even he would know, if asked about it. A forest, of course. Dense, deep and dark. Wyld. But was it up north, in Canada? Or was it further south, in what is called the US of A? He would not be able to tell you. To him, nations and borders did not exist outside of a ravens claimed territory. But he does know that once his Spirit Egg hatched and his First Change happened, it was to a small town in the USA that his Mentor took him. Where his life as a Corax begun truly.
For all of his life, he has been a bit of an elitist. It was not something he was taught. It was simply something he fell into, naturally. Having gone through his Change, he gained a new sentience and understanding of life. And he came to see upon his own race as Magnificent. They could fly. The skies were theirs and along with it, the freedom to go anywhere. It coloured his view of those that were bound to the ground. To the dirt. With age, with Recognition of his deeds, came a change of heart. Deeds come with experience, and experience gives Wisdom. But he has never dropped the viewpoint that there is nothing as Magnificent as a Corax.
He was born a raven and prefers his natural form, but he has been known to sometimes, albeit very seldom, take to the ground as a human. In those instances, he calls himself "Royan" and claims to be a vagabond, a man of the road. But the Raven also goes by many other names. To most of the Garou, he is an unknown. But to some, to the favoured few, he would be called "Swift Wing upon the High Wind", which is the very name that he chose for himself.
But by those truly honored, he would be called "Hrafn". It is a name that he has taken to heart, as an honorific by those that he would call the closest of allies. To date, the only ones he would ever allow to call him this are the original members of the Frostbite Pack, minus its original Alpha.

- 2014, Royan "Swift Wing" of the Corax arrive to Prospect from a tour in the Amazon (where he found Bob). He finds it a wholly boring place. So he leaves and returns to the Amazons just a year later.
- 2018, Royan returns to Prospect. He still finds it very boring and so he leaves again for the east.
- 2019, Royan returns to Prospect. He now has earned the name Swift Wing upon the High Wind. This time he decides to stay. This is where he meets Aaryn Guides the Dead of the Get of Fenris. She's properly awed by his majestic presence and so he adopts her as his Raven-Steed. She introduces him to her newly formed pack, the Frostbite. Pretty soon, he adopts them all as his own Warpack to lead to where the have to go; the way only a Child of Raven can.
- 2019, he discovers that the site Frostbite builds their Longhouse on, used to be the home of a Corax. It held the name Ravenscar. A vision is given where parts of the Corax last moments are seen. He decides to investigate.
- 2019, Frostbite brings Hrafn (his new nickname) along with them on a dangerous journey to the Umbral Realm of Mars; Nerigals domain. He survives the trip, much to his own surprise. Bob almost does not forgive him for bringing him along.
- 2019, Frostbite drag Hrafn along to the Sept of the Trollhunter in a place full of snow and cold and little sun. Its for a wedding!
