Biography
Slate is the father of Cobalt and Aidan and one of the main antagonists of the series. During his short time with his pups, he is shown to display a negative attitude towards them and a strong dislike for Cobalt in particular.

Appearance
Slate is distinguished by his dark green fur, bright blue eyes, and short, shaggy fur. He is characterized by his tall, broad stature, in which he nearly doubles others in size. His appearance resembles his pups; His green fur matches Cobalt's and his pale blue eyes are nearly identical to Aidan's. However, Slate has a few defining characteristics that set him aside from the rest of his family. His mouth is lined with significantly sharp fangs that protrude beyond his jaw and his paws are marked with short, razor-edged claws.

Personality
Slate's dominant characteristics consist of his greed for power and control. He is aggressive in nature, and like Cobalt, prefers to settle problems violently. His selfishness and rapacity lead him to start a family with Iris in hope to father two strong pups similar to him in nature.

Iris
Slate's interest in Iris is sparked merely by his desire for power and control. The idea of sharing power throughout a pack was repulsive to him, and in response, he started a family with Iris in an attempt to father two pups similar to him in nature. However, when neither Cobalt nor Aidan turned out how he had expected and his mate was unable to care for the two pups, he quickly lost interest and abandoned the family completely.

Cobalt
Ever since he was a pup, Cobalt was viewed by Slate as an inconvenience and disappointment. Despite their similar appearance, Cobalt's strength and hunting skills never reached Slate's expectations. Even though Cobalt constantly worked on his skills to please his father, Slate had already lost interest in his son.

Aidan
Although never directly stated, Slate seems to show a similar attitude towards Aidan as his view towards Cobalt. However, unlike Cobalt, Aidan was never chided or scolded by his father. Slate's interest in Aidan is hardly existent; While Slate dislikes Cobalt, he hardly acknowledges Aidan at all.
