Kapu
Jello is the lone wolf of Amaroq’s pack. Miyax describes him as “a lowly wolf—a poor spirit, with fears and without friends.” He is standoffish and antisocial, and Amaroq doesn’t respect him. Because of this, the other wolves often leave him out of their activities. For example, when the adult wolves go hunting, they force Jello to stay behind and watch the pups. Jello is the opposite of Amaroq: he doesn’t care about protecting the collective wolf pack and acts out of self-interest alone. Miyax names him Jello after seeing him wiggle before Amaroq in a gesture of submission, but the name also reflects Jello’s unstable moral backbone. Amaroq’s decision to accept Miyax into the wolf pack threatens Jello, and he lashes out at her with increasing intensity, eventually destroying Miyax’s campsite and stealing all her food. Jello’s reign of terror comes to an end when Amaroq kills him as punishment for his selfishness.

Part 1: Amaroq, the wolf
Quotes
Miyax at last was sure of what had happened to Jello. He was the low man on the totem pole, the bottom of the ladder. She recalled the day Amaroq had put him down and forced him to surrender, the many times Silver had made him go back and sit with the pups, and the times that Kapu had ignored his calls to come home to the den. He was indeed a lowly wolf—a poor spirit, with fears and without friends.

Part 3: Kapugen, the Hunter
Quotes
Instantly she knew what had happened; Amaroq had turned on him. Once Kapugen had told her that some wolves had tolerated a lone wolf until the day he stole meat from the pups. With that, the leader gave a signal and his pack turned, struck, and tore the lone wolf to pieces. “There is no room in the wolf society for an animal who cannot contribute,” he had said.
