Broken Web
Broken Web is a former Hunter in Darkness Rahu (Now Su'ur) alpha of the Su'ur Pack in Colorado.
Background
Aaron Horne earned a small degree of fame among the Forsaken in downtown Denver during the height of Gurdilag's chaotic influence. Aaron led his pack of Iron Masters and Hunters in Darkness against many strange creations spawned by the idigam, and he also took up a personal mission to destroy a powerful Azlu. The Spider Host consumed many of its brethren and threatened to seal off a small section of the city from the Shadow. Aaron's pack fought bravely and suffered three casualties before the fight was interrupted - by Gurdilag itself. The idigam saw Aaron and the Azlu locked in battle, and it saw the possibility for a new life form. In a single moment Aaron Horne transformed from a proud Hunter in Darkness into Broken Web, a terrifying creature no longer classifiable. Now merged with his former enemy, Aaron attacked the remaining members of his pack and used their flesh for sustenance until he could understand his new existence.
Broken Web is horrifying in any of his wolf forms, with fur growing alongside silver webbing that eventually becomes cobweb. His skin in human form is occasionally distorted by a spider crawling beneath the surface. The former Uratha has lost much of his personality and is quite insane - the normal Azlu need to weave transformed into a terrifying need for order and restraint. Broken Web seeks to control those around him. Anyone unwilling to become subservient to his will be physically restrained in his webs.
Transformations:
Broken Web was forever changed by Gurdilag's power. He is no longer an admixture of human and wolf spirits, but instead a werewolf with an Azlu spirit. His five forms have the following changes:
- Hishu: His human form looks normal except for the occasional shape twitching or moving beneath his skin.
- Dalu: Broken Web's Dalu form exaggerates the normal loss of humanity. He gains an extra set of eyes, and his jaw is stretched open by mandibles. In addition to the normal trait modifiers he gains an additional +1 to Dexterity, and a -3 to Manipulation.
- Gauru: This form is especially perverse. The Su'ur gains an extra set of arms, and his pelvis grows into a second segment attached to two pairs of legs. His canine jaw and snout are crowned by eight arachnid eyes. In addition to the normal bonuses from the war form, Broken Web also receives an additional +1 to Dexterity and an Armor rating of 3/2. He can use the Toxic Bite Numen in this form.
- Urshul: This form includes the mandibles and chitinous appearance of his fur. He once again has eight eyes, but only four limbs. Bonuses are the same in this form.
- Urhan: Broken Web's Urhan form remains largely the same. The fur on his body has turfs of silken web growing around it, and his eyes look more arachnid than mammalian. The bonuses he receives are normal.
