Candle, a grizzled bear with fur as dark as the night sky, serves as a general in the bear army, renowned for his expertise with the light machine gun. At forty-two years old, Candle's once vibrant fur has begun to show streaks of silver, a testament to the countless battles he has fought. His eyes, a piercing shade of amber, reflect the intensity of his commitment to the bear cause. Standing at an imposing six feet when on his hind legs, Candle's muscular frame is a sight to behold, clad in the tactical gear of a seasoned warrior. His uniform, adorned with medals of valor, speaks volumes of his dedication and bravery.

Candle's life is driven by a deep-seated desire to protect his homeland from encroaching threats, a wish born from the loss of his family to enemy forces. This personal tragedy fuels his resolve, yet it also blinds him to the cost of war on his soldiers. His inability to see beyond his grief and the military's rigid hierarchy prevents him from achieving true peace for his people. In response, Candle pushes his troops harder, believing that victory will justify the sacrifices made.

His strategy, though harsh, garners results, as his unit becomes one of the most feared in the bear army. Candle's success stems from his tactical genius and his ability to inspire fear and respect in equal measure. However, his relentless pursuit of victory leads to his downfall. In a final, devastating battle, Candle's tactics lead to heavy losses, including his own life, leaving a legacy of both heroism and tragedy.

Throughout his life, Candle grapples with internal conflict over his methods and the external pressures of war. His unique trait, a habit of humming old bear folk songs during battle, serves as a haunting reminder of the peace he fights for, yet never achieves.
