Cries Havoc

Cries Havoc is a male Metis Galliard of the Children of Gaia tribe. He is a member of the Silver River Pack and his Metis condition manifested in the form of his ram-like horns.[1]

Biography

In the modern age, the Children certainly have their work cut out for them; so many other Garou pay little attention to the tribe's successes, and judge the Children primarily by their failures. Faced with the obstacle of all-too-common disdain, more than one Child takes up the mantle of ambassador to other septs, attempting to better the tribe's reputation by providing more mediation, spiritually power and, as necessary, physical might to the septs who might be in need. Of these ambassadors, one of the most prominent is Cries Havoc.

Cries, dues to his metis birth, was steeped in Unicorn's philosophy since learning to speak. Conversely, he never went beyond his caern's bawn until his Rite of Passage. As he grew to adulthood, the young metis thus grew very well educated in the spiritual, cultural and philosophical aspects of Garou life, but was almost completely without practical knowledge of the world outside his sept. Nonetheless, he strove to prove himself worthy of becoming an ambassador and mediator, in service to the rest of the Nation rather than exclusively to his sept. The name "Cries Havoc" he earned after his Rite of Passage - it indicates his tendency to speak of the Apocalypse's horrors in order to stress the importance of intertribal and intersept cooperation, as well as his willingness to go to war for the sake of a treaty or caern defense. Already, he is fairly well known amongst other tribes, as the distinctive ram-horned metis who appears at the doorstep of a caern in peril and offers what he can in the name of brotherhood.

Unfortunately, the greatest obstacle Cries havoc faces in his efforts to strike accords between tribes is his own metis nature. Although mentally and physically sound, Cries cannot easily move among human society, thanks to the very obvious ram's horns that mark all his forms. This causes no end of difficulty when visiting urban septs or trying to show respect for urban trines by meeting them on their own ground. Although he knows better than to feel guilty for his own nature, Cries nonetheless is no stranger to metis pain - and he does his best to keep from resenting the people who judge him by his horns rather than his words.

Cries Havoc has just passed 30, and is in excellent health. In Homid form, he has longish brown hair and a full brown beard; he tends to wear simple tunics and breeches of Garou make. In Crinos form, he carries himself with great grace. In all his forms, a pair of ram's horns spirals from his temples, making him impossible to mistake for anything other than a metis. He speaks softly and with conviction, although a faint air of melancholy tends to settle around him from time to time.
