Biography
Presumably, The Pack dates back to the last days of the First Empire and the shapeshifting plague which ended it, as evidenced by (1) the fact that The Pack is the god of the soletaken Jheck who originated at that time, and (2) the presence of an eponymous Tile of the Holds.
Between that time and the present, The Pack has been held by the House of the Azath in Letheras.
Possibility of T'rolbarahl
There are similarities between The Pack and Dejim Nebrahl, such as both of them being described as "lizard cats", thus leading to the suggestion that The Pack may also be D'ivers T'rolbarahl. However, The Pack has demonstrated the ability to rapidly change from one body to six smaller forms (when Bugg visited them in the abandoned temple), so even if they are D'ivers T'rolbarahl, they may be a different sort than Dejim Nebrahl (who was made in a womb by the souls of seven regular T'rolbarahl and needs to feed in order to increase its numbers).

Corlo?'
'Six, their favourite number.' "
