Araqois
Biography
In "Identity Crisis," Araqois is a werewolf unforgiving of all vampires. He particularly abhors Slane, who summoned the Nexus Crawler that killed his packmates (one of whom happened to be Araqois' beloved half-brother). He is only 25 years old, but he has the inborn cunning and wisdom of the wolf, as a pack of gray wolves raised him in the Vermont forests. Araqois is quiet, vengeful and persistent. He seldom speaks; when he does, it is in a low, rasping whisper with his fangs bared. He is a short, powerfully built werewolf of wolf stock.
Araqois' Pack
Wendigo warriors are fierce packs of werewolves. The few packs left living in New England hate vampires beyond measure, for they see the Cainites as responsible for having ruined the Northeast. Because they are a closely knit people and a dying breed, anyone who kills one of their members has a hunt upon his head - hence Araqois' actions concerning Slane.
While most American Wendigos are best at guerrilla tactics, the Wendigos of the Northeast are ready and willing to fight openly if there is just cause; they have seen the results of industrialization and the dwindling of the woodlands, they have survived white colonization and they will not compromise any further. Fighting is all that is left to them.
Most of the Wendigos in the Northeast live as hermits in the backwater villages of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. There are also a number of Wendigos who were raised as wolves and who live in the wilderness of these same states. All of them are dept at surviving in the wild, and very occasionally a hiker or some other unfortunate trespasser may glimpse one of them in his timber wolf form, guarding the deep forest from intruders.
