Coulee Ridge Cannibal
The Coulee Ridge Cannibal is a Blood Talon Rahu.
Background
The Coulee Ridge Cannibal is an urban legend in rural Washington State. According to the lore, he's some kind of crazy Leatherface-style slasher who killed and ate his mom when he was eight years old and got a taste for it. Or maybe he's a Sasquatch, angry at the white man's encroachment onto sacred ground. Or maybe he's a demonic spirit loosed by man's wickedness. Ironically, the word "werewolf" doesn't come up all that often, since he doesn't restrict his attacks to the full moon. Local Uratha suspect that the Cannibal is one of their own, a Zi'ir practitioner of ghu-ghabhasughar who treats anything within 50 miles of Coulee Ridge as his prey.
The Coulee Ridge cannibal is a hulking brute even in Hishu form. His hair and beard are long and wildly matted, and on the rare occasions when he bothers to wear clothes, they are filthy, tattered and bloodstained. Madness shines in his green eyes, but there is an unmistakable cunning there as well. In his wolf forms, the Cannibal is a deep, russet red that almost hides the blood that cakes his shaggy fur.
Using the Cannibal in a Chronicle
The cannibal is a classic horror-movie werewolf made flesh. He's savage and mindless in his killing frenzies, but not without a certain brute cleverness. On his more lucid days, he builds crude but fiendish traps to main or kill anyone foolish enough to cross his territory. Pack members working together could bring him down and claim his territory, which is quite large for the area and in a desirable location. Alternately, the pack might try to bring him back from the brink of madness and restore his soul to Harmony, possibly at the request of Don Stiles.
