Akros looks eerily similar to his sire. Something that Shade has definitely taken notice of as he grows up. While he has learned that she is his true mother, he still considers Ancora and Mharyk to be his parents, as they raised him before he went into the fahrar.
As much as he looks like Gren though, Shade will spare him the knowledge of what his sire became and the circumstances leading to his birth. The cub doesn’t need that burden.
