Night-Spiritmale lupus elder (5) Theurge of the WendigoPosition: Sept AlphaPack (Totem): Tatanka’s Horns (Bison)Charisma: 5, Manipulation: 2, Appearance: 2, Pure Breed: 2A wise and firm, but patient Garou, Night-Spirit has been the alpha of the Sept of the Winter Night since 1993, and before that was the Master of the Rite. He came to the sept from the Sept of the Great North Woods along with his sister Wind-Cries in the 1960s, and has been at the sept longer than any other

current member. Still bright-eyed at the age of 65, Night-Spirit is well-loved and respected by almost every member of the sept. A great light gray timber wolf, Night-Spirit has an intense charisma and a willingness to listen to any member of the sept, whether cub or elder. He also has a reputation as a visionary and a wise leader. His sister, Wind-Cries, was once Warder of the sept, but stepped down to pursue a vision Night-Spirit had about the return of Turtle to the Garou pantheon. She has not been seen in nearly six years.

Mary Shawano, Talks-through-Long-Winter-Nightsfemale homid athro (4) Galliard of the WendigoPack (Totem): Tatanka’s Horns (Bison)Charisma: 4, Manipulation: 3, Appearance: 4, Pure Breed: 1Mary Long-Night-Talker is a warm and charismatic woman of Potawatomi descent. She is well known for her ability to weave a stirring tale of the exploits of any Garou, new or old. She is the highest-ranking Galliard of the sept. She was instrumental in arranging the Moon Bridge with the Sept of the Great North Woods, brought Yiska to the Sept of the Winter Night, and is

very close with the young lupus. Mary’s kinfolk husband, Joe, is an EMT and local volunteer fireman.

Charles Waube, Brother-of-the-Dawnmale homid elder (5) Philodox of the WendigoPosition: Gatekeeper; ElderPack (Totem): Tatanka’s Horns (Bison)Charisma: 2, Manipulation: 2, Appearance: 2Charlie Dawn’s-Brother is almost omnipresent at the center of the sept, maintaining and guarding the Moon Bridge that links this sept to many others. Quiet and contemplative, Dawn’s-Brother can normally be found in crinos or lupus forms, where he is a dark gray in color. He is a member of the Council of

Elders that decides important sept matters. While the Wendigo of the Winter Night are, generally, fairly moderate, and the Gatekeeper is fairly diplomatic, Brother-of-the-Dawn is considered probably the most conservative of the Wendigo here.

Who is Who at the Sept of the Winter NightHenry Smith, Sneaks-in-Snow

male metis athro (4) Ragabash of the WendigoPack (Totem): Tatanka’s Horns (Bison)Metis Deformity: AlbinoCharisma: 2, Manipulation: 3, Appearance: 1With fur of pure white or bleached-blond hair despite his Amerindian features, and pink eyes, it’s hard to miss Sneaks-in-Snow, at least until he’s trying not to be seen. An expert tracker and very stealthy, Sneaks keeps quiet and in the background, avoiding politics as best he can.

Jacob Anselm, Grim-Scowlmale homid athro (4) Ahroun of the Get of FenrisPosition: Warder; Elder; Pack AlphaPack (Totem): Talons of Odin (Hrafn)Charisma: 4, Manipulation: 3, Appearance: 2, Pure Breed: 1Jacob Grim-Scowl is the eldest of the Get of Fenris, and leader of that tribe at the Winter Night. Of all the Get, however, it is probably his charisma and geniality that have kept them in good stead with the rest of the sept. He gets along relatively well with Night-Spirit, even though the two often end up on

opposite sides of debate, and each lead one of the two major groups within the sept. It was he who led the Get of Fenris when they were expelled from the Sept of the Night Beacon in Milwaukee in mid-2001. Night-Spirit allowed the Get to join the Winter Night, and Grim-Scowl has not forgotten this. He does not speak of why the Get were expelled, and it’s not widely known. Jacob is currently the Warder of the Winter Night Sept, and he and his pack are in charge of defense of the caern and the bawn.

Edwin Goddard, Shares-the-Glorymale homid adren (3) Galliard of the Get of FenrisPosition: GuardianPack (Totem): Talons of Odin (Hrafn)Charisma: 4, Manipulation: 3, Appearance: 3, Pure Breed: 1A rousing singer with a deep baritone voice, Ed Shares-the-Glory has an outgoing and even jovial manner to him. His tales and songs do tend to carry the fatalistic attitude one might expect from the descendant of a Viking, however. Edwin keeps a house just off the west edge of the Bawn, where his wife

Sharon, who works for the State Department of Natural Resources, and their three children live.

Who is Who at the Sept of the Winter NightEric Baldwin, Axe-of-Tyr

male homid athro (4) Philodox of the Get of FenrisPosition: Guardian; ElderPack (Totem): Talons of Odin (Hrafn)Charisma: 2, Manipulation: 2, Appearance: 2Eric Tyr’s-Axe does, as his name implies, carry an axe: a fetish weapon with which he is quite proficient. Generally even-handed and reasonable, he is very concerned about not what only is right, but what is just. On the council of elders, he is generally felt to be more conservative than Grim-Scowl. Eric

also keeps a house west of the Bawn, across the street from Edwin, where his parents and young bride live.

Suzanne Abendroth, Speaks-with-Ravensmale homid adren (3) Theurge of the Get of FenrisPosition: GuardianPack (Totem): Talons of Odin (Hrafn)Charisma: 2, Manipulation: 1, Appearance: 3, Pure Breed: 2Thoughtful and skeptical, Suzanne (she hates being called ‘Sue’) Raven-Speaker considers herself the voice of reason for a Theurge. Others of her auspice tend to speak in circles and riddles, something she is quite proud that she does not do. Stout, but short, she’s noticeably smaller than the rest of her

pack.

Kirk Hildebrand, Lightning-of-Thormale homid athro (4) Ragabash of the Get of FenrisPosition: GuardianPack (Totem): Talons of Odin (Hrafn)Charisma: 2, Manipulation: 2, Appearance: 2Not a typical Ragabash, Kirk Thor’s-Lightning is broad and strong, built like a linebacker. He’s more about sneaky tricks and well-aimed blows in combat than stealth and scouting. He often has a grin that’s just a little bit off.

Rowan de Bettencourt, Call-of-Falconmale homid athro (4) Galliard of the Silver FangsPosition: Master of the Challenge; Elder; Pack AlphaPack (Totem): Ancient Song (Falcon)Charisma: 5, Manipulation: 4, Appearance: 4, Pure Breed: 5The grandson of the sept’s long time alpha, famous Wyrm-fighter and Galliard, Henri de Bettencourt, Voice-of-Falcon (r. 1946–1993), Rowan lives in Henri’s long shadow, even more so because he shares his grandfather’s auspice. Still, his is quite

Who is Who at the Sept of the Winter Nightthe fighter and bard in his own right, with a charisma that is matched by few. Until its recent destruction by fire, Rowan and his pack lived in his family’s mansion, just off the bawn, along with a young immigrant kinfolk named Katrikki Heikkinen. Currently, the pack is living with Wanda while the manor is rebuilt.

Arnest de Bettencourt, Blade-of-Silvermale homid fostern (2) Ahroun of the Silver FangsPack (Totem): Ancient Song (Falcon)Charisma: 2, Manipulation: 1, Appearance: 3, Pure Breed: 5Like his older cousin Rowan, Arnest Silver-Blade lives in the shadow of his grandfather, Henri. He lacks the charisma of his cousin and uncle, however, and is known as crass and a bit short-tempered, even for an Ahroun. He is a skilled fighter for a fostern, though, and wields a Giant Klaive, a family heirloom.

Wyatt Mallory, Strikes-Truemale homid cliath (1) Ahroun of the Silver FangsPack (Totem): Ancient Song (Falcon)Charisma: 2, Manipulation: 2, Appearance: 2, Pure Breed: 3A young, lanky fighter, Wyatt is laconic and overshadowed by most of his packmates. He has garnered a reputation as stalwart and brave, however, in his few years among the Garou.

Wanda Jaeger, Screams-the-Truthfemale homid adren (3) Philodox of the Get of FenrisPack (Totem): Ancient Song (Falcon)Charisma: 2, Manipulation: 2, Appearance: 2, Pure Breed: 2Too young to be a part of the Talons of Odin, Wanda Truth-Screamer was packless when she was expelled with the other Get from the Milwaukee sept. She found a place among the pack of Silver Fangs and has prospered there. Some of the younger Fenrir see her as a traitor to her tribe, however. Wanda has a recently purchased home, north of the bawn, where she

lives with her husband Jake, young daughter, and sister … and now the rest of her pack. This last situation is thankfully temporary, as the house is not that big.

Patience Bellamont, Watches-Shadowsfemale homid cliath (1) Theurge of the Silver FangsPack (Totem): Ancient Song (Falcon)Charisma: 2, Manipulation: 2, Appearance: 4, Pure Breed: 4Relatively new to the sept, Patience Shadow-Watcher moved to the Winter Night from a sept in Colorado to join this pack and

Who is Who at the Sept of the Winter Nightreplace another Theurge who died in battle a couple years ago. She is pleasant one-on-one, but tends to be shy in large groups.

Who is Who at the Sept of the Winter NightSiegfried Gilbertson, Howls-in-Battle

male homid fostern (2) Galliard of the Get of FenrisPosition: Pack AlphaPack (Totem): Blackbones (Bull)Charisma: 4, Manipulation: 5, Appearance: 2, Pure Breed: 4Bold and blunt like his pack’s totem, Siegfried Battle-Howler believes in the supremacy of the Get of Fenris and their kin, and looks down on the other tribes. A violent and angry Garou, he is an intense and terrific fighter. His pack is once more living in the swampy southwestern side of the Bawn, without

electricity or shelter. As the members of Blackbones fancy themselves a death metal band (their ‘day job’) this situation is, at the very least awkward, if not infuriating to them.

Sigwald Gilbertson, Bleeds-the-Truthmale homid fostern (2) Galliard of the Get of FenrisPack (Totem): Blackbones (Bull)Charisma: 4, Manipulation: 5, Appearance: 2, Pure Breed: 4The mirror image of his twin brother Siegfried, Sigwald Truth-Bleeder is just as violent, just as fanatical, and just as intense as his brother. Together, they make a force that belies their young age. Oh, and if you call him ‘Roy,’ you’ve earned an enemy for life.

Werner Ingram, Bites-the-Wyrmmale homid cliath (1) Ahroun of the Get of FenrisPack (Totem): Blackbones (Bull)Charisma: 2, Manipulation: 1, Appearance: 3, Pure Breed: 3Perhaps ironically, Blackbones’s Ahroun Werner Wyrm-Biter is generally the most soft-spoken and well liked of any of his pack. Still quite young, he came to the sept with Ernest soon after his Rite of Passage. He has occasional doubts about the Gilbertson’s fanaticism, but rarely shares them, and then only to his tribal elders.

Ernest Knapp, Calls-Ancient-Ghostsmale homid cliath (1) Theurge of the Get of FenrisPack (Totem): Blackbones (Bull)Charisma: 2, Manipulation: 2, Appearance: 2, Pure Breed: 4Ernest Ghost-Caller is a devout follower of Siegfried and Sigwald, standing with his packmates through thick and thin. His skill at extracting information from spirits is impressive for a cliath, even if his methods might be not the most subtle.

Who is Who at the Sept of the Winter NightFink, Trickster-of-Banes

male metis cliath (1) Ragabash of the Get of FenrisPack (Totem): Blackbones (Bull)Metis Deformity: Hairless (Rat-like) TailCharisma: 2, Manipulation: 2, Appearance: 2, Pure Breed: 5Blackbones treats Fink Bane-Tricker like garbage, but their garbage. In return, the metis is fiercely loyal to his packmates. Like the Gilbertsons, he was a cub when the Get were expelled from Night’s Beacon Sept, though, as is typical for mules, his low standing has kept him from gaining the rank they have.

Stands-Firm-Against-the-Wyrmfemale lupus fostern (2) Ahroun of the FiannaPosition: Pack AlphaPack (Totem): Stag’s Burning Hooves (Stag)Charisma: 3, Manipulation: 1, Appearance: 2, Pure Breed: 2Confident and straightforward, Stands leads her pack with the common sense and uncomplicated vision that only lupus normally have, yet she is also wise in the ways of homids and humans alike. With an excellent mind for both tactics and diplomacy, her pack gladly follows where she might lead them.

She is also deeply offended to be included on the same page as any member of Blackbones, whose divisiveness she finds, frankly, inane.

Athena Jackson, Shares-Her-Strengthfemale homid cliath (1) Ahroun of the Black FuriesPack (Totem): Stag’s Burning Hooves (Stag)Charisma: 2, Manipulation: 2, Appearance: 2Athena Shares-Her-Strength is young and brash, and relishes her place as a full moon. There is not much she enjoys more than giving the beat-down to an agent of the Wyrm, be it spirit or fomor. She may lack experience and wisdom, but does at least have the sense to listen to her packmates. Perhaps ironically, Athena played high school basketball against Hope

before her First Change, though Athena was a senior and Hope a freshman at the time.

Caitlin O’Neill, Sings-the-Old-Songsfemale homid fostern (2) Galliard of the FiannaPack (Totem): Stag’s Burning Hooves (Stag)Charisma: 4, Manipulation: 3, Appearance: 5, Pure Breed: 2With a haunting singing voice and the looks of a runway model, Caitlin Old-Song-Singer has been turning heads since she was a cub. Not just a pretty face, she has a fascination with history that befits one of her tribe, her auspice and the nature of the sept. With a degree in history, a job as an interpreter at Old

Who is Who at the Sept of the Winter NightWorld Wisconsin, and an encyclopedic knowledge of the sept’s history, Caitlin is to whom even the elders turn when their memories fail.

Who is Who at the Sept of the Winter NightAlexander Bartholomew, Truce-Bringer

male homid fostern (2) Philodox of the Children of GaiaPack (Totem): Stag’s Burning Hooves (Stag)Charisma: 2, Manipulation: 2, Appearance: 2, Pure Breed: 1Alex Truce-Bringer is almost a stereotypical Child of Gaia Philodox, as his deed name might indicate. He’s constantly negotiating and calming tempers between packmates or his pack and another. Terribly level-headed and reasonable, he finds great delight in bringing together Garou to reasonable compromises.

Gabrielle Valenzuela, Knows-the-Lune’s-Pathfemale homid cliath (1) Theurge of the UktenaPack (Totem): Stag’s Burning Hooves (Stag)Charisma: 3, Manipulation: 2, Appearance: 3Gabby Path-Knower is a pretty young Latina woman from the south side of Milwaukee and knew she was a Garou from a young age, having been raised by knowing kinfolk. She was brought to the sept as a cub and trained in the mystic ways by Kelly. She also spent a good portion of her cubhood with extended family in New Mexico, learning of her tribe. Though

she could have stayed there, Gabby instead chose to return to her home state and stay at Winter Night, feeling that the Uktena were underrepresented in the area, where she eventually joined Stag’s Burning Hooves. Gabby has been delighted by Tony’s appearance and how well his young pack has performed so far.

Samantha Hayes, Severe-Tire-Damagefemale homid fostern (2) Ragabash of the Bone GnawersPack (Totem): Stag’s Burning Hooves (Stag)Charisma: 2, Manipulation: 3, Appearance: 1Usually just called Sam, or STD (she’s aware of the double-entendre), this caustic Ragabash brings both a rough sense of humor and straight-forward manner to her pack. A rural Bone Gnawer, Sam does her best to resist the redneck or hillbilly stereotype that rural members of her tribe often are saddled with. She’s quite the prankster, and likes to break up tense

situations with practical jokes. She’s also quite a scrappy fighter, which is helpful when you like to play jokes on Garou. Also, she insisted on the use of this mug shot for her photo.

Who is Who at the Sept of the Winter NightKelly Larsen, Whispers-with-Spirits

female homid adren (3) Theurge of the Children of GaiaPosition: Keeper of the LandPack (Totem): None (None)Charisma: 3, Manipulation: 2, Appearance: 3, Pure Breed: 2It’s hard to find anyone who will say a bad word about Kelly Whisper, at least in public. A skilled seer, and gentle soul, Kelly has the task of maintaining the Bawn physically, as well as raising and teaching the basics of Garou life to any new cubs. Quietly, though, the whispers about her metis child, and her

refusal to name the father continue to haunt her, six years after his birth. In addition, the more conservative members of the sept scoff at her typically Gaian attitude, so, even as a skilled adren, she is unable to find a pack.

Crystal, Shakes-the-Earthfemale metis adren (3) Philodox of the Black FuriesPosition: Mistress of the RitePack (Totem): None (None)Metis Deformity: Not publicly known. General speculation is that it is an eating compulsion.Charisma: 3, Manipulation: 2, Appearance: 2, Pure Breed: 3Over six feet in height, and over 300 pounds in weight in her homid form, Crystal Earth-Shaker is quite aptly named. An intimidating force of nature, even those who would normally

disdain a metis find themselves listening to Crystal. Not as active as she was when she was younger, the Black Fury half-moon is powerful physically as well as mentally. Cool, at best, towards males, she is known to be warm and gentle to females, though tends to keep that side of herself in private.

Cursormale homid athro (4) Ragabash of the Glass WalkersPosition: MoonwalkerPack (Totem): None (None)Charisma: 4, Manipulation: 4, Appearance: 2

If Cursor has another name, he’s not telling anyone. A brilliant computer programmer, Cursor is also blessed with charisma and an extroverted personality, something rarely seen among geeks and nerds. He’s been individually wealthy for some years now, though he’s a bit dodgy about what

exactly he does, or did, to make that kind of money in the human world. Cursor is the sept’s Moonwalker; the diplomat-at-large, and can often be found making runs to other nearby septs for any number of reasons.

Who is Who at the Sept of the Winter NightPeter Larsen, Climbs-Oaks

male metis cub (0) Ahroun of the Children of GaiaPack (Totem): None (None)Metis Deformity: HornCharisma: 2, Manipulation: 1, Appearance: 2, Pure Breed: 3

The metis child of Kelly Whisper, Peter is a painfully shy, demure boy trapped in the body of a six-foot-tall Rage-filled killing machine. His metis deformity, a single horn from the middle of his forehead, is seen as a sign of good fortune among the Children of Gaia, and, perhaps he is lucky as he doesn’t

receive the direct derision and physical and psychological beatings that scar so many mules. That may only be because of the protection of his mother, or the fact that she taught him from a very young age to stay the heck out of everyone’s way.

Elisabeth ‘Bits’ Taylor, Little-Smilesfemale homid cliath (1) Ragabash of the WendigoPack (Totem): Unnamed (Owl)Charisma: 2, Manipulation: 3, Appearance: 2, Pure Breed: 1The first of the latest group of cubs to arrive at the sept, Bits Little-Smiles is a small, skinny girl from the Cherokee Reservation in western North Carolina. She showed up near the sept one day with her kinfetch going crazy to attract attention. Generally, she is thought of as a slightly annoying, but very amusing young woman, with a wicked sense of humor and a

smile always on her face. Her Rite of Passage seems to have matured her some, as she is looking, and acting, a bit older these days.

Hope DeRosafemale homid cliath (1) Ahroun of the Black FuriesPack (Totem): Unnamed (Owl)Charisma: 2, Manipulation: 2, Appearance: 2, Pure Breed: 2An excellent athlete from nearby Racine, Hope was raised Catholic. Her father was a gangster, and thought of himself quite the Mafia don. He was physically abusive to Hope and, on the day of her First Change, the young Ahroun frenzied and killed both her parents. Later retrieved by the local Shadow Lords, she was given to Cursor, to pay back a favor he had

done for them. An enthusiastic young Ahroun, Hope is quite fond of her new place, much happier now than in her old life.
