Fergal Macrea
Fergal Macrea is a Blood Talon Ithaeur member of the Lodge of the Rose.
Overview
Fergal Macrea grew up believing the Emerald Isle was the most beautiful place on Earth. After the First Change at age 17, his eyes focused on the realities of the new world around him, and he realized he was exactly right. He has always been enamored with the idea of serving justice; more importantly, he believed it was possible to always do the just action, even if it wasn't necessarily easy. This worldview was reaffirmed near-nightly watching news at the local pub, witnessing the toll that dishonorable violence and bloodshed did to his country; to this day he believes that, under no circumstances, do the ends justify the means.
Sadly, life has had its share of heartaches for Fergal. By far the most depressing resulted from a childhood promise to be true to his auburn-haired beloved, Arlene Maeve. This vow ultimately resulted in their being wed when he was 20 and she 19. Their marriage was as idyllic as one can be between human and Uratha for the first six years; during this time, he more strongly affirmed his desire to couple his strength and his desire to do right, culminating in admittance to the Lodge of the Rose. Unfortunately, this tranquil scene fell apart three months after he 25th birthday, when she underwent her First Change. Fergal was part of the impromptu pack assembled to help usher her in, and the need to use violence against his rampaging wife was almost too much to bear.
Of course, the Oath made it impossible for them to remain together as man and wife, and the two supposedly went their separate ways. However, the nature of Fergal's lifelong vow is such that he doesn't feel right in leaving her; he doesn't believe he'll ever love again, and is too proud to ask his lodgemates for help.
Arlene, having joined the Bone Shadows, is still learning much from her mentor; the two of them have been traveling throughout Europe looking for secrets and insight. Unbeknownst to them, the pair has a shadow - a former husband who most wants the one thing he can't have, and is stuck by a vow he can't escape.
