Pale Arrow was orphaned as a boy and raised as the son of the Pawnee Chief, Wise Eagle. Now an adult, Pale Arrow witnesses his fellow braves attack a wagon driven by two people who are trying to rejoin the rest of a [[wagon train]] passing through Pawnee land. Pale Arrow rescues the two individuals and returns them safely to their comrades. Subsequently, he and Wise Eagle come to an agreement whereby Pale Arrow will see if he is able to return to his roots as a white settler. He takes the name Paul Fletcher and becomes a scout for the wagon train.
