Canopus Skydancer

Canopus Skydancer is a Stargazer who lives in the Aetherial Realm.

Biography

Canopus grew up hidden away in an attic. He never really understood why his parents found it necessary to keep him a secret and why they were always looking over their shoulders to see if anyone was after them. As he grew older, they explained things to him and he finally realized they were outcasts, afraid they'd be hunted down for their sin. After his First Change, he preferred to live as a street kid rather than approaching a sept and asking admittance. One day he returned home to find his parents both torn in tiny pieces and he learned what Black Spiral Dancers were. Fighting wildly, he was captured by the corrupted ones, who began to spirit him away. He howled out his anguish and suddenly the attic was full of Garou. They overcame the Spirals and rescued Canopus. Briefly, he stayed with his rescuers, a sept of Glass Walkers who had been watching his parents for years, but he felt uncomfortable with them. Finally, he had a Theurge cast his horoscope for him and was told he belonged with the Sept of the Stars to record the unprecedented events that were soon to come. Accordingly, he traveled to the orrey and petitioned for admittance. After consulting their own oracles, they accepted him. Since then, Canopus has studied and learned as quickly as possible to be ready for the role the stars have decreed for him.
