Personality/Background: Though living in Australia, Tristan can easily trace his lineage back to the woolly mammoths of Russia, the Inuits of Alaska and members of the first Scottish American colony. This is due to his father being of Scottish American and Russian descent and his mother being an Alaskan Inuit. He was even born in Alaska but the family moved to Australia after his grandmother on his mother's side died. It had been she who had told Tristan of his abilities to transform into a woolly mammoth like his ancestors before him. She even presented him with the mammoth tusk necklace that had been carved in the shape of a mammoth when he was born. The necklace itself had been passed down the generations after being carved by the first mammoth morpher in the family. The tusk itself had come from the morpher's mother after she had been killed by hunters. As a result of this, the teenage mammoth calf forced himself to shapeshift into a human and managed to become one of the hunting group's tribe members, taking a part of his mother's tusks for himself and using his new skills to create a legacy.
When Tristan was seven and learnt about the story of his necklace from his grandmother, he questioned why it had been passed to him and not his mother. His answer was that his mother had rejected the spirits within her and so had lost her abilities after giving birth to him. In truth, his mother had gotten quite ill after she had given birth to her only child and lost the ability to shapeshift as a result. Three years later, the family moved to Australia thanks to his father being moved within his job. As with when he was living in Alaska, Tristan quickly found that he needed to keep his shapeshifting abilities to the family home only.
However, things started to change for him when he started attending Cylus Beach high School and met his best friend Ty Eccleston-Wilson. During that same year's flu season, the two friends discovered each others ancestry. This was thanks to Ty having caught the flu himself and, whenever he sneezed, his triceratops horns would emerge out of his face. Tristan found the scene quite comical as the horns would emerge as little nubs on his friend's forehead and nose and would grow a little depending on how many sneezes in a row Ty let loose. He quickly made Ty laugh, though, when he explained that whenever he sneezed, his nose would morph into his mammoth trunk and the sneeze would be massive and disgusting because of it. Once Ty had gotten over the flu, the two showed each other their morphs. It wasn't long after that that they were approached by fellow descendants Krillin Fang, Alviss Wattson and Kellyn Muller about becoming friends themselves and the five formed the group that was known as Meior Fortes.
It was while Tristan and Ty were having one of their many 'best friend days', four years after the group's formation, that Ty managed to get himself in trouble. And no matter how hard he tried, Tristan was not able to get his friend out of the thicket alone. Thankfully, help arrived in the form of acting Rebels Leader, Reece Valore, who also came with a warning to the boys about some scientists that were nearby. Once Ty was out of the thicket (a little battered and bruised, but otherwise okay) and the threat with the scientists avoided, Krillin, Kellyn and Alviss arrived thinking that it was Reece who was the problem. After sorting everything out with everyone, Reece told the group of his own problem with the rogue gang, the Vipers. It took a bit more talking, but Krillin agreed to having Meior Fortes help the Rebels.
Tristan met his girlfriend, and later wife, Xena Cook during this time. And it was essentially because of her that he wished to stay with the Rebels once the true Rebels Leaders had returned. It took a bit more convincing, but Krillin finally agreed to merge the Meior Fortes gang into a new Rebels sub-group that Reece would be leading, the Rebels Ancient. Tristan also knew of Xena's insecurities with still being with the Rebels and did everything he could to help her through the tough times. He could clearly see her fears and how much they seemed to grow with every new issue that occurred within the Rebels, though, and not long after the Makai Massacre occurred, it was Tristan who urged Xena to follow her heart and leave the Rebels. Of course, Tristan found he still had some thing he needed to work out with himself and his work, but nearly a year later, he, too, followed his girlfriend and left the Rebels.
The last time either of the two physically saw their Rebels friends, it was at their wedding, which occurred a week after Tristan left the Rebels. Of course, neither Tristan nor Xena planned for their wedding to be the final event they held with the Rebels, and their friends understood this. But Tristan, at least, could still see the hurt buried within his friends' eyes and he had to promise that they would still stay in touch. And for a time that promise was kept. But with a new job returning Tristan to his homeland of Alaska, the couple moved overseas and eventually lost contact with their friends in Australia. It was while they were in America that Tristan and Xena added to the family with a son they named James and three years after that another son they named Keith. Both boys gained the ability to morph into Woolly mammoths like their father, with James inheriting the mammoth tusk necklace, but when the two were old enough, Xena allowed them to gain a second morph of their choosing.
