Big Fisher
Overview
Born Salish, raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Fisher spent much of his first year as Garou adjusting. He fell in with a pack called the Ghostrunners that followed a spirit they called Ghost Bear. Each of them was a healer of some skill and made it their purpose to tend the ills of the people. Theirs was a quiet mission: traveling from reservation to reservation caring for the ill, the elderly, the poor. Big Fisher proved himself a capable student and quickly learned what the Ghost Bear had to teach. For Garou, and Ahroun at that, Big Fisher also proved himself a gentle soul when it came to caring for those in need.
Recently, Big Fisher and his pack were called north on an errand - apparently a Wendigo pack had gone rogue and were killing white folk indiscriminately in the northern Cascades and up into Alaska. He and his pack were called up to go and talk sense into them. What happened after that isn't entirely clear, but both packs were decimated by the confrontation and only Big Fisher remained. The last word that was heard of him comes from a Red Talon sept just south of the Arctic Circle. The Talons said he was 'looking for snow'. That was a year ago.
Rumors put him back on land again, running with a new pack at his back and Wendigo himself beside them. The tales tell of a pack of wolves that cross the ocean, the water freezing instantly beneath their feet. They tell of howling winds that tear the oilrigs to pieces and throw the whaling ships to the bottom of the ocean. And quietly, in whispers, they say a new day has come for the Wendigo and Big Fisher has brought it down from the sky. Who can say?
