Enkaku came from the Fortress of Ends in the Southern Icefield.

He feels as though he has no control over himself, merely being led from one thing to another by the nature of his breed. This mimicry has helped him survive as far as he has, but he wishes he could make a more conscious choice in his actions. Instead, he feels like a mere puppet of the Shadowbinder and of his own consciousness. In fact, he had contemplated seeking solitude many times just to escape it... although he knew he would never be able to follow through with it.

So, Enkaku left the Southern Icefield to seek different company in a less frigid climate, hoping maybe that would help him get a fresh start. As he wandered and interacted with other dragons he encountered along the way, he realized how fun it could be to try to trick them into letting him control them for a change. His intention wasn't to harm them, but to play tricks on them by sending them down the wrong path or setting them up for embarrassment or failure. He enjoyed watching them walk into his traps so willingly only to end up exactly where he wanted them to be.

Despite the amusement he derives from this, Enkaku won't manipulate another Nocturne. It just reminds him of the way he feels and he won't inflict that on someone who can't help their actions. Besides, the control he desires comes from tricking someone who makes the choice willingly and making them feel the way he does when they realize what happened.

Enkaku eventually ended up in the Windswept Plateau where he joined a clan in the Zephyr Steppes and met Uriya, another Nocturne who he found a mutual understanding with about their situation.
