BRIEF HISTORY:
Canard became Wildwing’s friend in “Starting Over” when he was twenty. He had already been acquainted with the Flashblades because his mother had constantly left him at their house while she went out. He had no memory of his father, who left home when Canard was just an infant. When he grew older he started going to the Flashblades’ on his own, usually for dinner (the reason for Steven Flashblade‘s affectionate nickname for him). He started earning his keep when the youngest Flashblade, Michelle, was born by becoming her babysitter. When Wildwing was brought to the hospital after being found in a wreck near Twin Beaks, he was the first visitor she was willing to speak to. When the Saurians conquered Puckworld, Canard located the remains of the military and Puckworld Special Forces, and helped build the Resistance. Then, he found Wildwing, teamed up with the Ducks, stormed Dragaunus’ Headquarters, and the rest, as they say, is history.OVERHEARD:
