Fleck was born outside of Holt Lutra. His parents were both outcasts of Holt Lutra being they both were very competitive by nature. Fleck was then too, competitive by nature. He grew up in a little shack next to the river, Toopal. Fleck had a bad reputation because of his parents. When his parents were both much younger they were "partners in crime" as some of the elders called them. Always getting into street fights with neighboring communities. The elders didn't want the other otters of Lutra to be exposed to this nonsense so he banished them from Holt Lutra forever. They left willingly though and never dreamed of coming back anyway. Of course some of the otters from Lutra came and visited the two but each time they were turned down and so they stopped coming to their pleasure. They got married and decided they wanted a child. She got pregnant and had Fleck. Somehow word got to Lutra about the baby and soon the whole community of Lutra was coming to pay their respects to the newborn. Again they were shunned but they got to see Fleck. He was the only otter to have lime green streaks on his knees. How this happened nobeast will or did ever know. Fleck was easy to tell apart from other otters. At 4 seasons old Fleck could already walk very well and could hold up one of his fathers daggers. His father was a good fighter and taught Fleck, starting him very young how to fight. At 12 seasons Fleck could wield his fathers sword and fight. One day Fleck was just out wandering and he saw a group of shrews arguing at a river bank. Surprisingly Fleck had never in his lifetime seen another beast save his parents and he was very curious. He was taller than them so he decided to kill them. The shrews' boat had a leak in it and they were arguing over how it happened, typical shrew conversation. Fleck snuck up behind the 6 shrews and something took him, the desire to kill. Like a Salamandastron badger's Bloodwrath, the urge to kill seized Fleck. He lifted up the sword his father gave him and cut a shrews head clean off his shoulders. This pleased Fleck very much. He had killed his first beast. Then another swing of his sword and there only 5 shrews left. He parried thrusted and then there were 4. Two shrews charged Fleck and swung at the same time, Fleck ducked and the two hit each other then fell to the ground dead. The other two shrews were an experienced fighter and a mother with a dibbun in her hands. The fighter shrew stepped forward to protect the maid. Fleck whipped out his sling and put a slingstone into the shrews head before the shrew could move. He did the same to the maid, and when he did that the Dibbun fell onto the ground and started to cry. Fleck picked up the Dibbun by his head and looked at it. The he threw it back on the ground and stepped on its head. The Dibbun cryed no more.
