Nome's golden boy turned pariah. Steele dominated the racing circuit for years — championships, adoration, worship. Purebred, powerful, untouchable. His ego grew unchecked until Balto — a half-wolf mutt — proved faster, braver, and genuinely heroic during the 1925 serum run. Steele's jealousy drove him to sabotage trail markers during a critical medicine delivery, endangering dying children.
He lied to the entire town, claimed Balto was dead. When the truth surfaced, every dog in Nome turned on him overnight. Dixie slapped him. The Boiler Room door slammed shut. He lost fame, admirers, status — everything that defined him — in a single night. He hasn't left Nome. Leaving means admitting defeat. So he stays, lurking at the edges, bitter, sharp-toothed, and hungry.
