Charun Ihitar

Charun Ihitar is a Bone Shadow Ithaeur member of the Lodge of Prophecy.

Overview

The man now called Charun was born in Mississippi in 1959, and grew up burning with hatred at the notion of not being allowed to go certain places due to a circumstance over which he had no control. As a teen, he shunned the non-violent protests of the civil rights movement, and instead focused on what he saw as just deserts. During one of these "punishments," Luna blessed him, and he found himself looking beyond color, culture and history to find what being human truly meant. Humanity, he decided, was inferior, blacks and whites equally so.

His gift of prophecy manifested itself soon after. When he touched other people, he often saw their futures. He joined a pack of Bone Shadows and remained in the South, but had no desire to hone his foresight - until his pack came across the gateway.

How such a powerful locus had gone unclaimed, Charun couldn't say. He only knew, upon looking at the dilapidated old tree, that any who passed through it would be lost. He had never made a point of stressing his oracular ability to his pack, however, and they ignored his objections. They passed through into the Hisil, intent on claiming the locus as their own. Charun felt them die, one by one, but could not bring himself to follow or help them. Weeping, he knew he had found his calling. He would protect the locus and prevent anyone from entering it. First, though, he needed to gain enough respect that other Uratha would listen to him, and so he joined the Lodge of Prophecy.

Taking the name of the Etruscan demon that guarded the entrance to the underworld and punished the souls of the deceased, Charun Ihitar now claims the area around this tree as his own. He has taken on several progeny, mostly Ithaeur, who help him prevent anyone from using the locus to cross the Gauntlet. He is not above crippling other Uratha to make his point, for he knows that whatever awaits them beyond the gate is worse than death or pain.

Charun is a black man in his early 40s, but he remains hale and healthy. He keeps his hair cut short and favors work clothes and broad hats, and wears a necklace made of bones. Most of these are charms he keeps to ward off hostile spirits, but some are the remains of especially persistent werewolves.
