History[]

Before the Books[]

Kinnaird was the mate of Morag and the father of her first three litters. They happily lived in the MacDuncan Clan before their fourth litter was born and they were exiled from the MacDuncan Clan.

Lone Wolf[]

Morag, Kinnaird's mate, went by-lang with her third litter of pups. Morag gave

birth to three pups, a silver male and two tawny females, who looked like him. Later, Shibaan discovered Morag and her pups, and, as it was her duty, took the silver pup, a malcadh because of his splayed paw, and abandoned it on an icy riverbank.

They returned to the clan, the announcement of the malcadh was made and Morag and Kinnaird were cast out.

Near the very end of the book, after Faolan jumps over the wall of fire, Duncan MacDuncan explains he is the splayed-pawed malcadh, son of Morag and Kinnaird. He most likely died in Frost Wolf, due to famine or the Skaars dancing, or in Spirit Wolf, due to the earthquake.

Trivia[]

  • Kinnaird is Irish for 'steep slope.' It is really spelled Kinnard.
  • It is also a Scottish name, associated with the name of an area in Scotland. It could come from the Gaelic words "Ceann Ard" meaning "high head" (Ard - tall, high, Ceann - head)
