Taylor encounters a ragtag band of resistance fighters and one such character is an old war veteran who goes by the name of Mikhail (Courtesy of character owner: MikhailTheTiger on Discord and ionitamircea32 on DA). He took an immediate disliking to the young wolf, but was tasked to grill her into shape for oncoming war with the Arbiter. She hated the daily training regime, thinking homicidal thoughts that Ahya was all to eager to enact for real. Despite their love/hate relationship on the training field, over time as Taylor got more skilled and athletic, they each garnered a grudging respect for one another by the end of it.

Thank to Ruolina on FA for helping me general a 3d mock-up piece to hand to the artist for reference.
