Bio: In the mob where he lived and was raised in, the current male leader became intent on training and taking the pups out foraging a month too early, and it usually resulted in many of them being picked off by eagles. He ended up being a lucky one and surviving, and became an excellent defender of the burrow. Due to the high mortality rate of the pups, the mob became weaker and fewer in number. The meerkats turned on their leader, and kicked him out. Their new leader, who hadn't chosen a mate, didn't do so well either, and weak from a recent drought, died early while on a foraging trip. Steek became separated from his mob, and survived on his own, although attacked by an eagle once and scarred on the face. He journeyed to the Red Cliffs, finding the Yamiti, and became the dogon to the gang.
