Backstory: Istas was born into a Native Pony tribe in Equestria around the same time Dimitri Hammer was born coincidentally. Learning the ways of his people he became a strong member of the Snow Tribe. He grew up protecting the tribe from foreigners who only wanted the land for industry and he grew up despising all outsiders. Sadly, one day when he was returning to his home from gathering herbs he found his whole family gone. No one was left and the village was burned down to the ground. Istas became deeply depressed after this and wanted to know what caused this to happen. He set out on a spiritual journey into the mountains of Equestia to become one with the nature and snow. After the LONG journey he didn't receive a answer from the elder spirits. He was planning on giving up life in this plane, he jumped off a large cliff and tied his wings together. The unconscious and bruised body of Istas was found by Dimitri Hammer (Who by now was a Full citizen of Ponyville). Dimitri rescued the Pegasus pony and carried him into a cave for the wind began to kick up very strongly. Dimitri cared for Istas and nursed him back to consciousness he introduced himself and they exchanged stories. Istas was impressed by this foreigner. For he was kind while previous foreigners were cruel. Istas called Dimitri his "Chenju-we" or Brother of Different birth. Dimitri inspired Istas to keep on going with his life. Now he regularly visits Dimitri in Ponyville but stays in the Great Plains and mountains where his ancestors lived. He is still looking for the cause of his village's destruction though.
