Cateria Kensas

Cateria Kensas is a Storm Lord Elodoth member of the Slaughterhouse Five pack in Chicago, Illinois. Cateria is also a member of the Lodge of Thunder[1].

Overview

Descended from Exodusters who made their home in and around Chicago in the late 19th century, Cateria is a fine example of the Storm Lords' ideals at their purest and most effective. She listens carefully to her packmates' ideas and has the foresight of a ship captain in the midst of enemy territory, seemingly always one step ahead of her foes. Moreover, Cateria has a knack for making her pack feel appreciated and valuable, even when they fall upon challenging times. She's occasionally frustrated with the older packs, like the Whispers and the Architects, for being reactive, not pro-active, but she doesn't usually badmouth other Uratha on public; it's undignified.

Of course, if Cateria exemplifies all of the positive elements of the Storm Lords philosophy, she also demonstrates some of its negative aspects. She's very proud of her pack's achievements but equally sensitive to how other werewolves perceive them. Just as she won't let anyone else witness or perceive her weakness, she tears into anyone who intimates that her pack may have its flaws. Her packmates are all proud to fight alongside her, but those outside the Five can find her just about impossible to deal with.

Cateria is an imposing woman in just about every respect - she stands almost 6' barefoot in human form, with a sculpted build, rich ebony skin and a low, commanding voice. Humans find her almost impossibly intimidating; her dark eyes in particular not-so-subtly hint at the beast that lies underneath. She's large in wolf form and has brown fur tinged with gold. She likes to dress nicely now and again, and is fond of jewelry, but wears the most practical of clothes on the hunt. Presently, she works part-time as an art dealer, specializing in African and African American artworks.
