Elders And Other Members[edit]

Charles Adams, "Coldbringer", Athro Lupus Wendigo Ahroun, Sept Warder/War Alpha.

-A wolf of few words but terrifyingly decisive action, the Sept Warder is a strong proponent of using the minimal force necessary as often as possible when dealing with threats of any sort. There have been some fears in the sept that this policy is excessively safe and conservative, ceding too much initiative to the enemy. These fears are not voiced in the Warder's presence - whether in lupus or homid, he has ugly scars scattered over his body, and he once personally thrashed an impudent Get of Fenris for questioning his authority. He trusts Klaus and appreciates his Wyrm Foe's attitude when it comes to getting off of the bawn and destroying things. While he is not singly responsible for the survival of the lupus bloodline in the area, his mate's litter from last year has been blessed with two pups who will become Garou. Their presence on the bawn, a safety measure commonly used by the sept when a lupus Kin is pregnant, is likely contributing to Coldbringer's sense of caution.

Sophie Buck, "Favored By Luna", Adren Homid Fianna Theurge, Gatekeeper.

-The only Fianna in a position of authority at the sept, Favored by Luna got her Ritename for a good reason: her mother's mother was a Lune. Consequently, she has an unparalleled rapport with Lunes and related spirits. Unlike other Gatekeepers, Sophie is generally happy to be on the bawn long-term and traveling over Moon Bridges whenever necessary. She tends to be a little more forward than most Gatekeepers when it comes to taking part in representing the sept, mostly because of her confidence in handling everything to do with Moon Bridges. Possibly a result of her position, possibly her heritage, and possibly her status as the only Fianna with authority, she is generally friendly and inoffensive, willing to listen to just about anyone about anything, provided it does not interfere with her job. She is known to be a very good friend of the Keeper of the Rite.

Regina Armstrong, "Flinteye", Athro Get of Fenris Philodox, Truthcatcher/Peace Alpha.

-The "Peace Alpha/War Alpha" split is a tradition inherited from the Wendigo - Regina holds final judgment on Litany issues, interactions with other septs, the higher Garou Nation insofar as they care about what goes on in this part of the Badlands. When it comes to war, violence and death, she cedes authority to Coldbringer. Common belief, especially among Sept Fenrir, is that she cannot be completely happy with surrendering that sort of clout. However, the Sept has had a Peace Alpha and a War Alpha since European-descended werewolves arrived and forced themselves into the area. The irony of a Fenrir holding a slot described as "Peace" anything has been remarked upon by more than one circumspect Ragabash. Being in the same pack with Coldbringer, however, has reduced the aggravation of this somewhat - at least authority remains within her pack.

Klaus Soreide, "Strong Voice Howling Vengeance", Adren Get of Fenris Galliard, Wyrm Foe.

-Big, intimidating, and a disciplinarian by the standards of tribes other than the Get of Fenris. Has been the Wyrm Foe for several years, promoted after Coldbringer was elevated to Warder. Is the lone Sept leadership figure who is not in a pack with other sept leadership, instead maintaining ties with his existing pack, Blizzard of Claws. He is one of the few werewolves in the sept who was not born here - he is originally from the Sept of Sapphire Waters in Idaho. However, the Sept of Sapphire Waters does not exist any more. It is said that Wyrmish infiltrators utilized hijacked frack fluid and bloody human corpses to spread contamination and weaken the caern's water-aligned totem, then attacked cleanup crews and Garou packs delegated to protect them and hunt down the instigators. It is doubtful that the caern survived - there has been no official communication from Sapphire Waters in years, and no emissaries have come from anywhere to ask for help assisting survivors or besieged holdouts. Klaus and his family were some of the few surviving refugees, and as a consequence of all this he is ferocious about off-bawn aggressiveness and ending threats before they start to menace his sept.

Marshall Vanderhaven, "Spinning Wheel At Night", Adren Uktena Theurge, Keeper of the Rite

-Undoubtedly the least approachable of the Sept Elders, although this is not because of his personality so much as his constant changing chiminage requirements. Usually he is polite enough to warn other werewolves and Kin when one of his requirements is impolite, disturbing, or otherwise very unusual, but occasionally he does not and cannot. Or just has a sense of humor and is not above telling a lie - only Flinteye knows for sure, generally, and she has better things to worry about. Known to have connections with shadowy groups within the Uktena tribe, more than one sept member has been mistrustful about who Marshall really is and what he is really doing, but so far he is tolerated by the other elders, who will hear no serious accusations made against him by younger werewolves. He has been the Ritekeeper for several years now and is routinely credited by the elders, including the Warder and Wyrmfoe, with being a critical asset to the sept. A card-carrying member of the Hidatsa tribe, Marshall is a local and always has been, though it's known that his family migrated to this area from further west several hundred years ago. Although he wears modern American clothes like almost everyone else at the sept, there is always at least one thing that's slightly off or different.

Thunder In The Distance - NPC Pack

-Composed of six werewolves from different tribes, Thunder In The Distance is the pack most commonly holding Guardian duties. A rotating schedule typically keeps four werewolves on various forms of guard duty, while two have time off to do random tasks, sleep or other things. This pack is older than Hummingbird's Wings, and it counts three Fostern and three Cliath in its ranks.
