Edward Shattersong K'ruuk

Edward Shattersong K'ruuk is a Blood Talon Cahalith member of the Lodge of Scars.

Overview

Edward Shattersong K'ruuk is a cynical man in his mid-50s. Never a particularly handsome man, his life of turmoil and struggle has weathered his features further to the point where he could add a decade to his age and few would suspect the lie. He moves with an old man's hesitation, though his body is stronger and healthier than many werewolves half his age. His voice is a cracked and throaty purr, though it ruins any song he ever tries to sing - hence his deed name, which is an appellation that still makes him smile.

He lived the life of most werewolves until he reached his 49th birthday, at which point he approached the Lodge of Scars seeking entry. When he walked the Last Mile, he calmly headed straight into a Wound festering in the center of a nearby city, returning an hour later missing one hand and staggering from blood loss, but bearing the destroyed remains of a Maeltinet spirit, one of the servants of the Maeljin. As if this weren't enough, he attended a meeting of several packs in the region and threatened them all with destruction unless they banded together in order to seal the spreading Wounds in the area. Amazingly, out of a combination of respect for Shattersong's achievements and feat of his experienced and lethal pack, a temporary alliance was formed that lasted an entire lunar cycle. At the end of the short joining of the packs, Edward returned to the Scar he originally spoke with and demanded entry to the Lodge of Scars. Unsurprisingly, it was granted without hesitation.

Now Edward spends his twilight years traveling alone. He is a strange soul, for though he has led packs to success and glory in the past, he feels stifled and pressured when he has to "look after" the younger members in the group. He prefers a support role of advisor and back-up warrior, and never remains with a pack for more than a few months. If a pack shows no interest in his advice on how to improve their territory (and many do no take well to his blunt speech), then he feels no guilt about letting them squirm through their own troubles alone. He takes his knowledge where it is desired, and moves on when it is not.

Edward knows there are times and places for hot words and hotter blood, but over the years he has developed an almost infinite capacity for patience. He can listen to any argument and take any insults with an indulgent and polite smile. His is always a voice that advocates against running off and attacking without a solid plan. Shattersong also has a great deal to be proud of, and has difficulty concealing the fact at times. Some meetings with younger werewolves have been called to a close at dawn while Edward still found words to say about himself.
