The Past

Shepard was originally born in Aleswich more than thirty years ago, and left when he was eighteen to pursue his college education and dreams.

Shepard was appointed the County Attorney for the District of Dunlin's Reach and had returned to Aleswich and his family to take up the mantle.
The Present
xxxxxShepard arrived in Safe Haven with two others - the night was cold but they managed to survive. A great deal of answers have been answered, but they have only led to many more questions as to how they came to be here. The plan now is to regroup and build a haven within haven to care for this new generation for refugees while they determine how they came to be here, and what that now means.
