Steeleheart Buran (real name Troy Brandon Gaede,[1] April 26, 1969[2] - January 2016),[3] was a furry fan living in Santa Clara, California, USA.[2]

Fandom involvement[edit]

Steeleheart's fursona was a "Cataldi", a timber wolf-Siberian tiger hybrid.[4]

Steeleheart attended Further Confusion quite often, and uploaded photos of the convention to his personal website called "Furry Haven".

Death[edit]

In October of 2013, Steeleheart was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer which had metastasized into his liver.[5] Though Steeleheart had said his condition was "going good" in late 2015, he passed away in January of 2016.

Controversy[edit]

Steeleheart, along with Growly, was arrested in 2001 and charged for multiple crimes after the pair performed sex acts on a 14-year-old boy and photographed the acts.[6]
