Christian Barr
Christian Barr is a Storm Lord Elodoth member of the Lodge of the Feast.
Overview
Christian Barr had some difficulties coming to grips with being a werewolf; he Changed in his late 30s, and it wasn't easy trying to unlearn his human life. Unfortunately, one of the coping mechanisms that he stumbled across was the taste for human flesh. He might have degenerated into a savage if it hadn't been for his Elodoth's instinct, which compelled him to start searching for some sort of balance. Eventually, he found the Lodge of the Feast.
At present, Barr is one of the more notable figures in the lodge, keeping in contact with other members in the area and playing host to the occasional feast. He also acts as a spiritual advisor to other lodge members, counseling restraint and moderation. He believes strongly in the lodge's teachings that the consumption of human flesh is dangerous yet rewarding, and has little patience for those who endanger their souls for a quick fix. The lodge is a community, and, as a community, its members are able to persevere.
Barr owns an old mansion with large grounds, which he uses to host lodge feasts. The house itself is relatively well-kept, with more attention paid to the first floor (particularly the dining room), but the grounds have "gone wild." He has a local reputation as slightly eccentric, and the folks in the nearby town can't help but notice that some strange people tend to drop by on a fairly regular basis. But his money helps keep the nearby town running, and if any locals have anything bad to say about him, they don't say it too loudly.
Barr looks to be in his 50s, with tanned skin, white hair and a thick Georgian accent. He carries himself much as the Southern gentleman he believes himself to be, preferring comfortable and well-tailored suits to more casual wear. As his Harmony has fallen, he has increasingly become obsessed with the concept of perfect time; he consistently checks his pocket watch and becomes nervous in a room with no visible clocks. In wolf form, his coat is pale and his eyes are a rich yellow.
