Heuco grew up without his father. But protected by his mother, elder twin brother, Taj and Moana, he barely noticed. One would think being passed up for heir by being hatched a mere few seconds after his twin would make him bitter, but it just made him more laid back. Lifted the weight from his shoulders and freed him to learn how to fight and to pursue his passions. At least until it became it clear that Hollow had no interest in taking over after his mother's passing or retirement, should that moment come to pass, and Heuco stepped up to that new set of responsibilities.

To his surprise, he thrived at all but the diplomacy. The caring for others and thinking far enough ahead to predict how his and the actions of his clan mates might impact the whole clan. He suffered through classes and studying alone until a pretty spiral pipped up an insult and told him in a haughty tone that his hot tempered answer was stupid and proceeded to tell him a better option and the benefits that could bring. He asked her to tutor him immediately. His mother and brother were thrilled. Steadily and slowly, they became closer until he asked her to be his mate. She said yes.

The night he was announced to be Sangue's heir, his first act was to declare his mate, Siorys, as the clan ambassador, claiming there would never be any better for the job.
