Who is Snowbird?

Origin Snowbird In ancient times, the Inuit Gods of the North battled the Great Beasts for the fate of the world. After being exiled, they looked for a champion to battle the Beasts, should the need ever arise. Nelvanna, goddess of the Northern Lights, appeared to the man Richard Easton and convinced him to mate with her. Afterwards, when returned to earth, he discovered that nine years had passed since he'd left, and the realization of this eventually drove him insane. When Nelvanna was about to give birth, she sought the assistance of Dr. Michael Twoyoungmen, better known as Shaman , to act as a midwife. Sensing the child's instability (the result of being a transmorph) the young shaman bound it to the Earth, allowing it to have a human form. The child, whom he named Narya, went to live with him and aged at a surprisingly rapid rate.
