Charging Bull
Biography
Raised in a small Kinfolk community in South Dakota, Charging Bull was the youngest of 12 children and the only one of the bunch born Garou. He established a reputation well before his First Change of being an utter brat, always into things, teasing his playmates and stealing items from his elders. In his eyes, this was all keeping with the tradition of counting coup, a tradition he fell in love with. In his eyes, it worked quite well to justify his Ragabash ways.
It was during a Black Spiral Dancer attack on his village that Charging Bull gained his name. The elder warriors were away for a Grand Concolation, and the Dancers had a group of Kinfolk cornered in a cave; the Kinfolk were barely holding the corrupt werewolves back with a small store of silver bullets and a couple of rifles. Then a rumble like thunder filled the night, and the ground quaked, a huge herd of buffalo stampeded into the Black Spiral Dancers. The Dancers had nowhere to go and disappeared beneath the herd's hooves. On the back of one of the bulls rode young Charging Bull, whooping and yipping crazily in Crinos form. In the wake of the stampede, the Kinfolk simply walked among the crushed Dancers and shot each in the head with a round of silver. Charging Bull was a hero.
In the years since, he has become known for his playful wisdom and warmth, and he has continued the practice of counting coup. His reputation is so strong among the Wendigo that he often gets credit for things lost, such as one sock from the laundry of a mislaid $10 bill, and the soft caress of a stray breeze is likened to his touch.

In his Homid form, Charging Bull is a sun-baked Lakota-Sioux in his early 50s. He is usually clad in worn old work clothes, though for ceremonial purposes and in action he will don traditional war garments. In his Crinos form, he is a weathered yet handsome figure of a werewolf, strong and elegant, radiating a warrior's pride.
