Editing The Shadow Over Creation&action/Golden Wheat (section)

== Background ==

Golden Wheat was born into an average family of farmers in the Realm, the second youngest child and the youngest son. As a boy, Wheat spent a lot of his time shirking farm chores to spend time hiding in the nearby woods, playing games and trying to sneak up on the local wildlife. As he grew into a young man, he grew more comfortable and skilled in the woods and used it as his escape from his older brothers. Once he was old enough, Wheat volunteered for the Legion and was quickly put to work as a scout and tracker.


While serving in the Legion, Wheat quickly became skilled at the art of ambush and disappearing into the terrain. His talon was often seconded to Wyld Hunts looking for extra assistance running down Anathema. Wheat himself was an indifferent Immaculate and didn't care whether his opponents were really demons made flesh or not, but did relish the challenge of tracking such dangerous foes.


Unexpectedly for a group in such a dangerous line of work, Wheat's talon was not destroyed by one of the Anathema. At least not directly. Instead, his talonlord had confiscated some pages from one of the Unclean that they had helped track. As weeks passed, the talonlord became strange and insular, verging on the paranoid. Finally, one night culminated in a tragedy as he summoned something forth to defend him from his enemies. Unfortunately, whatever he summoned was clearly beyond his skill to control and the camp went mad as soldiers turned on one another while something moved through the shadows, slaying indescriminately with tendrils of shadow.


In this chaos, Golden Wheat took the Second Breath. He fought off several of his friends, their eyes weeping blood and their voices broken from insane laughter and mad shrieking and even exchanged a few blows with whatever it was that the talonlord had called to him before escaping the abbatoir that was his former unit's camp.


Alone in the Threshold, Wheat took to learning what he could about the supernatural and then applying that knowledge to hunt and kill the things that preyed on mortal communities.
