Biography
Fights-With-Honor the first metis to even demand his right to join with the tribe who banished him because of his breeding. When he was old enough to survive on his way in the world by himself. For several years, he fought alongside the people of his sept, answering all calls for help and battling against the Wyrm. His deeds were noticed but went unrecognized. Every attempt at communication was ignored, even by his parents.
In the winters, he grew lean from near-starvation, as hunting near the caern was a right denied him by the tribe. Like all metis in those days, he was a non-entity. Fights-With-Honor grew enraged when he saw another metis banned for the same reason he had been banned: because his parents had broken the Litany.
He challenged not only for the right to return to his tribe, but in order to protect the younger Ronin from sharing his fate. After meeting and defeating the Master of the Challenge for the right to speak with the elders of his tribe, he challenged to the right of staying with his people, demanding further boons if he should succeed in the tasks placed before him. His trials are unrecorded, but his success is well known.
Some say he fought all of the Ahrouns of his sept, matching even the most ferocious in combat. Some say he recited the Litany in its full form, proving his knowledge of the Garou and his ability to learn even that which most felt was beyond him. Some say he solved the riddle of the Sphinx and the Chimera both. Whatever the truth of his great challenge, he succeeded. From that day forth, all metis had the right to remain with their tribes.
Fights-With-Honor died only hours aftes his tests were completed, murdered by one of the sept who could not tolerate his existence. Still, his legacy lives on. While the truth is lost in the shadows of the past, all tribes number Fights-With-Honor as one of their greatest heroes.
