During the Shadowed Age,[9], Steelshanks was born to Monkberry and Sevenhaunt.[6] For many years, Sunbright lived with his parents in the Rengarth tribe called the Ravens until his father took ill and died.[4]

Circa −700 DR, Sunbright killed his first Angardt enemy and was granted his father's greatsword, Harvester of Blood, by his mother. Envious, the Raven shaman Owldark prophesied Steelshanks would murder his people, so Sunbright fled in the night with the help of his mother.[1]
