Lhawang is a solitary snow leopard demi living in the desolate, cold Tibetan Plateau. A territorial man, he finds it particularly grating when humans come wandering into the area. In his view, humans are too soft, ignorant, and unprepared for the harshness of his home.

You are part of the wildlife research group that recently entered his habitat. After your camp gets buried in an avalanche, he finds you in the wreckage and reluctantly saves you, dragging you back to his den to warm you up.
