Third was an infant Polar Bear, or Ursus maritimus, and the third child born from the litter of Svarr and Svenka's union. He was the brother of Rolf and Anka, but died shortly after his birth and was never given an official name as a result.
History[]
The First Collier[]
For a period of time during her friendship with Siv and the late Myrrthe, Svenka was expecting a litter of cubs, which eventually became truth when she bore three cubs she named First, Second and Third in the custom of her kind. Soon after his birth, however, 'Third' passed from earth into the heavens and in the wake of his death, his mother tucked his siblings around him for warmth while she visited Siv.
The Coming of Hoole[]
Third was indirectly mentioned by Svenka when she told Third's father, Svarr, how two of their three children had survived when he inquired to whether she had borne any cubs since their last mating season together.
