After a civil town war which brought his home town to it's own demise, Forest Thundertred was left as the lone survivor after witnessing the unforgettable death of his parents. Holding on to a single promise which kept him from sinking into darkness, he swore an oath to his parents not to be guided by rage or vengeance and to carry on his dream to become a protctor, a guardian.

As years have past, he had grown up to become the stallion that he, and his parents, had hoped he would have developed to be. With his childhood cut short and a past which was quite overwhelming to bare it was predicted that one thing would never leave his mind.
"Why did it all happen?"

Having this unknown cause for profound sadness in his life, a hole grew deep in his heart which caused him so much pain and anger. Once he had found a new home in Ponyville, met the mare of his dreams, and made the most valuable of friends in his life, he was about to be relieved of those harsh negative sensations until a major part of his past comes back to throw an overwhelming challenge at him, his friends and even the main six!

Forest Thundertred will now do whatever it takes to protect his new family, even if it costs him his life.
