Ezekiel Smith

Ezekiel Smith is a Ghost Wolf Rahu member of the Pickering Family Pack in Colorado.

Background

Ezekiel Smith is a Pickering only by marriage, much to his relief. Most of his life before the Change was defined by his profession - he attained a doctorate in archaeology from Princeton, and virtually all of the extensive traveling he's done had been in pursuit of that profession. It was in the highlands of Scotland that the pursuit of potential Saxon artifacts led him across the path of the Uratha for the first time. He stumbled into the territory of a Hunters in Darkness pack, with predictable results. They attached and left him for dead. Fortunately, he changed to another form while delirious from the pain and quickly healed. The Hunters in Darkness discovered he had survived, and pursued him across Scotland and into England. Eventually, after much bloodshed, they came to terms, and explained to Ezekiel just what he was. Ezekiel declined their invitation to join the Meninna and spent the next three years as a Ghost Wolf, wandering and alone. Eventually, he met and fell in love with Lillian Pickering, a fellow archeologist and relative to the Bone Shadows. Their love prompted him to dip his feet back into Uratha society. The two are expecting their first child.

Ezekiel resisted moving to Colorado for the birth of their child, but Lillian was insistent. If their child is to be Uratha (which is her hope) she doesn't want it to grow up alone or ignorant of its heritage. She has seen too many werewolves scarred by their lack of parental contact. Ezekiel has yet to formally join the Pickering Family pack, and frequently butts heads with Obadiah. The patriarch officially offered Ezekiel membership in the family pack, as well as initiation into the Bone Shadows. Ezekiel refused. He could imagine founding a pack, but he would rather eat silver than be in any organization with Obadiah in the power structure.

Ezekiel is in his late 30s, and in exceptional shape. His build is somewhat on the stout side, but is all muscle; he enjoyed physical exercise before, and positively exults in it now that he has the power and speed of his other forms. Between his stocky build and darker complexion, he looks very out-of-place at a gathering of the fair-skinned, sharp-featured Pickerings. Though he's not particularly fond of many of his relatives, he knows they're important to his wife, and therefore puts up with them with good humor.
