Azalrog 
12th recorded king over the Cave Mustang herd, or Selach as they call themselves. Dark purple coloration with bright white markings and white mane.
Hera Jack
    A powerful and kind leader before the day of the Great Betrayal, Azalrog was honored and revered among his people. He allowed the less-beautiful valley-dwelling horses descended from the horses of man to graze in the foothills below his mountain and also allowed his people to socialize with them in a friendly manner. However, after his mate Hera ran off with the stallion Jack, Azalrog was torn by grief and violently threw the peaceful valley dwellers from his land. He instituted a strict and barbaric treatment of mares, treating them only as breeding stock, which continues to this day. He died after his son Dionysus flew into a rage in a power-hungry battle and threw him from the Redrock Cliffs.

Hera
The first and only wife of Azalrog, 12 King of the Selach. Head Healer in her time.  Grullo splash with typical Selach markings.
Azalrog Jack
    Quie, prideful t and dignified, Hera bore a strong and healthy heir to Azalrog. She prided herself on being QUeen, having been chosen out of all the mares in her herd was a great honor. She was the king's crown jewel, having not only beautiful coloration (which is required for a Queen), talent as a healer, but also being able to bear a son as her first foal who also had all the necessary requirements for an heir. Hera met Jack, an escaped Quarter Horse stallion, during a social time on the foothills. At first she paid him no mind; however after Dionysus had grown and experienced his first Mane-Tearing ceremony (read more on that here: fav.me/d77rzr9), she began to turn her mind to other things. EVentually, she fell in love with him and ran away with him. She lived to an old age, having had many foals with Jack, and died in the valley. 

Smoketown Jack (Jack)
A stallion used for breeding and cattle herding. Escaped his ranch due to broken fencing. Chestnut Splash. Marrison brand on shoulder.
Hera
    Jack was a crafty and shrewd stallion, and was very good at cutting cattle. He was attracted to Hera because she was queen and was determined to steal her away-- like a wayward cow-- and succeeded. Cause of death unknown.

Dionysus
13th King of the Selach. Deep navy coloration with less-than-stunning white king's markings. Notoriously weak-kneed from falling when young. 
Azara Andromedus
    Cruel and power-hungry, Dionysus embraced his father's institution of cruelty over mares and younglings. He was not a war-lord like his father had been due to his weak knees which were constantly cracking from injuries acquired in his youth. He did however lead hunts to find and kill his vagabond mother and her mate but never succeeded.He loathed the thought that there were half-blooded wretches who he would share a mother with running about the prairies. He went half his reign without a queen, only to realize his age was coming upon him and grudgingly taking a wife who cared deeply for him, but he hated her due to the fact that he depended on her for a heir. She bore fillies her first three pregnancies, and he killed them with his own hooves, threatening to kill Azara as well if she did not bear him a son. When his first son was born, he hated the sight of him, for he was dull of color and lacked any kingly markings, so Dionysus killed him as well. When he was very old, Andromedus was born, and knowing that he could not sire any more foals, he kept Andromedus as heir. He died of old age.

Azara
First and only wife of Dionysus, 13th King of the Selach. Seal bay splash. 
Dionysus Andromedus 
    Azara had loved Dionysus from her youth; when she was chosen as queen she was overjoyed. SHe had always been known as simple-minded and naiive. She faithfully endured his angry comments and the knowledge that he hated her. However she was grieved and conflicted when she bore him fillies and faulty heirs, knowing their fate. She would often birth them with Dionysus at her side, waiting to see the outcome. SHe would leave quickly once he snorted disapproval, only to return later to an empty cave. However, she gained new purpose in life and saught to raise him with great care, treating him like glass and gold, even after when Dionysus died. She passed away of old age.

Andromedus
14th King of the Selach. Deep blue-black coloration with bright white markings. 
Iris Elias  Casus  Akaash  Aaren  Ilerah  
    Knowing from the time that he was a young foal that he was on the heir to the kingdom because his father was too old to sire any longer, Andromedus pressed himself to excel at every task. In the Races and Games, he always won; in the Mane-Tearing ceremony, he barely flinched; in the moon-dances he always had the most taggers. None of this pleased Dionysus however. His mother loved him dearly and he knew this, but he knew her approval meant next to nothing of what his father's meant. He took his first mate, Iris, at his first moon-dance at the age of 3, in an attempt to impress his father. He cared for her, but when Dionysus died and Andromedus became king, he realized that Iris was not of the right color to produce suitable heirs. Moreover, her first foal was a filly, which was promptly killed. Elias disgusted Andromedus with his dull coat; but unwilling to take a chance and kill him, else he end up old and heirless like his father nearly was, he kept Elias and named him heir. Not two years later Casus was born, and Andromedus attempted to name him heir, however the Elder Council denied his attempt because Casus did not possess all the markings required for kingship.
    The older he grew, the more bitter he became. With incredible intuition, tact, and pride, Andromedus was the most influential leader ever known. He took a second wife in an attempt to produce correctly-colored foals, which was a success. 
-more to be added-

Iris
First wife of Andromedus, 14th king of the Selach. Sooty Sable Champagne Splash with brightly colored mane. 
Andromedus Elias Casus Akaash Aaren 
    Motherly and sweet-natured, Iris was a loving mate to Andromedus before and after his coronation. She feared for her life, however, when she too realized her coloration was not desirable to produce kingly heirs. After her first filly was killed, she bore Elias, the rightful heir, and then Casus. She became pregnant again but lost the foal after she fell in the canyons-- it turned out to be a filly. When Andromedus took Ilerah as a second wife, Iris came alongside her, and they became best of friends and confidants. 

Ilerah
Second wife of Andromedus, 14th king of the Selach. Dark purple fade splash coloration, curly mane.
Andromedus Akaash Aaren Iris
    Ilerah fought long and hard against Andromedus in the area of becoming his wife, but she lost the battle. She became pregnant not long after their marriage, and bore a foal (see Aaren's history for more info). SHe bore a colt a year later.

Elias
Heir to the throne. Dull champage splash with required kingly markings.
Iris Casus
    Elias is calm, level-headed, and generous. Aware of threats to his position, but attempts to ignore them. -more soon-

Casus
Prince. Sooty grullo splash with unusual cave mustang markings. Tri-colored mane; red eyes before accident.
Andromedus Audrey
    Casus lost his eyesignt at the age of 3 after his father attacked him for disobeying his strict order. He completely lost his right eye and lost sight in the left. He ran away from home with the help of Audrey, a young mare from the foothills whom he had met previously on his daring and forbidden adventures in the valley. They eventually married, but Casus' curiosity at the state of his home herd got the better of him and he returned for a short period only to find that everything had changed. -More Soon-

Aaren
Contender to the throne. Deep blue, lighter underbelly, stunning white markings. 
Ilerah Akaash Iris 
    The firstborn of Ilerah's womb, Aaren is, in reality, a filly. However, sick of seeing innocent fillies murdered, Iris and Ilerah, with the help of Nephthys the healer and Cronos, a gaurd, they were able to deceive Andromedus that she was a colt by laying a pelt over the newborn's back. This pelt was a staple for her, and as she grew, bigger pelts were added to hide the fact that she was not a stallion. She was trained to fight like a colt, build muscle to appear more masculine, and deepen her voice. She is without a doubt the favorite of Andromedus' children; he suspects nothing, simply seeing her contant pelt-wearing as a symbol of royalty. However, Aaren and her siblings along with confidants are formulating a plan that will change everything about the Mustangs. -More Soon-

Akaash
Prince. Beige coloration with purple and white accent. 
Ilerah 
    Skittish, shy and plagued with a visiting stutter, Akaash is Aaren's constant companion and the youngest of Andromedus' children.
