• Born March 23rd, 1887 in Nome, Alaska to a mixed Inuit family
• Raised with family traditions
• Nearly drowned while falling through ice during a seal hunt. Since then, has had a phobia for giant swaths of water. Ironically enough, he found out about his water powers through this and it saved him. The hunters who helped him out of the shelf of ice thought for certain Tikanni would've drowned by the time they could reach him, but he was fine, just passed out from lack of air and over exertion against the current.
• Age 15, took a job to help out the local mushers with their huskies and got really good at taking care and training the animals.
• 1925, at the age of 28, the diphtheria epidemic swept through Nome's young people. The serum run had to be taken place, but Tikanni fell ill during this time. A local that Tikanni had helped out a lot, mercy turned him.
• Serum made it back and saved the town much to Tikanni's bitterness, forcing him away from family. This caused a rift with his sire that couldn't be fixed and as this became an increasing problem, his memory of his family were wiped. Now, all he knows about his past is mainly his culture and holds onto it dearly. Routinely, he was told the lie to make up for this that he was just an orphan because his family abandoned him which is where the sire came in. His thoughts only got more sour as time went on about the other vampire despite the best efforts.
• Both stayed in Alaska till 1942, WW2, when the two islands, Attu and Kiska, were invaded by the Japanese. Fearing it'd get worse, the sire sought refuge in the Canadian mountains till the war blew over, Tikanni was forced to go with even though he wanted to stay back.
• 1950 run in with another vampire killed the sire. Tikanni took this as an opportunity to bolt back home and from there he moved around Alaska as much as possible so as not to draw suspicion from small town populations.
• 2000, Hits it off with one of the mushers that routinely challenges the Iditorod. They invite him to visit some other states sometime.
• 2005, finally takes advice to visit and makes it a yearly trip, visiting new states each time.
• 2010-2018, after several visits to Colorado, decides to move for a change of pace, especially with the climate similar in the winter with the ability of not needing to move constantly due to a bigger population.
• 2018-Present, moves to Cordova.

• Some people may find it easier or more comfortable to use a nickname for him, to which he doesn’t feel necessarily bothered about and will at times just introduce himself by one. Usually, he goes by Will, a nickname deriving from his middle name.
• Owns a barn owl, Mr. Owl, he's rehabilitated from a young hatchling that his work saved. Now it's grown awfully fond of Tikanni and stresses when he's away from home too long.
• Enjoys crafting, especially making things that he was taught as a kid.
• Used to live in Hawknell, but has promptly moved to Alder Heights because of the very perplexing murder spree he didn't want to be associated with.
