More than fifty thousand years ago, there was a kingdom by the name Wolfano, in which lived a highly evolved breed of Wolves who were powerful warriors and walked upright. Their king was a wolf named Wolfa who took fancy to a human girl, Rajkumari Survaiya. She was a princess of the human kingdom Konkani. Wolfa tricks the girl into matrimony, and they have a son, Kobi.

Eventually, Survaiya sees through the trick and leaves Wolfa and Kobi to marry another king of moraghah. King konkan of konkani tricks and destroys the wolf kingdom of wulfano,but guru Bhatiki-the main saviour and priest of wolfano saves Kobi from being killed and then he brings up Kobi and converts him into a fearsome warrior. When Kobi comes of age, he and his father go to claim her. Survaiya, in a rage at this audacity, curses Kobi and turns him into a gold statue.

Fifty thousand years later the curse is lifted and Kobi finds himself in a jungle in Assam. He starts his new life with the name "Bheriya". Bheriya is a towering figure with howling mane, twisting tail and glowing eyes. He protects his native forest with a passion, and the natives worshiped him as their wolf God. And he is also called as "jungle ka jallad"

Bheriya finds a master, Bhatiki, who teaches him how to fight. Bhatiki splits Bheriya into "Kobi" (Animal part of bheriya-Mobos energy) and "Bheriya"(Human part of Bheriya-Phobos energy). Bhatiki did this in order to send Kobi to Wolfano. But bhatiki fails to do so. Meanwhile Kobi the wolf or animal part of Bheriya marries Jane and is unable to leave the jungle. For 10 years Kobi resided in the jungles of Assam, protecting the residents from many dangers, but sometimes endangering them due to his foolishness. Bheriya and Kobi in spite of being part of the same body( the original Bheriya) are constantly at loggerheads, primarily because of differences in their nature. Kobi is short-tempered, foolish & aggressive whereas Bheriya is mature & intelligent. Tribals respect Bheriya and hail him as their saviour, whereas they fear Kobi's fury and try to keep him pleased. Nevertheless, Kobi too helps in protecting the jungle, in his own ways.
