Guilietta Hidden Road

Guilietta Hidden Road is a Homid Ragabash Black Fury from the Order of Our Merciful Mother camp during the time of the Inquisition.

Overview

Much of Guilietta's childhood remains unknown. She was apparently born into a wealthy Italian household, one with ancient ties to the Fury bloodlines.

According to most accounts, her First Change came while she was making a pilgrimage, and Guilietta was so horrified by the carnage she'd wrought that she retreated into a convent. From there, the narrative loses track of her activities, although she was apparently in contact with other Furies during the time. When the Inquisition began to spread beyond Spain, Guilietta reemerged, and by this point she was apparently in full control of the many gifts of her heritage - and more besides.

Guilietta had apparently risen to the rank of Mother Superior, or at least to a similar level (many Furies refuse to recount her rank in the Christian church at all). Although this meant little in terms of actual authority, it nonetheless gained her a few audiences with ranking church officials, where she apparently used her great persuasive tactics (which is to say, a number of Gifts) to misdirect the occasional witch-hunt.

In trying to save Kinfolk, Garou and the disappearance of several witch-finders by "bandits," Guilietta realized that denying the Inquisition of victims wasn't enough. Zealous churchmen refused to let witches elude them - or, more importantly, refused to let their colleagues believe that the witches were eluding them. As the charges of witchcraft became more and more flimsy simply to fill quotas, Guilietta decided to take action of a different sort. If the Inquisition needed victims, she reasoned, then why not give them victims of a proper sort? With that, she began directing the witch-hunts more carefully, drawing them to the haunts of vampires and caern-raiding sorcerers rather than villages of Kin. She quietly taught the Inquisitors of her acquaintance to use fire against vampires, and how to find them in their sleep. The rest was history.

Guilietta's actions made her a pivotal figure in the formation of the Sisterhood, although she never devoted her attention solely to that camp; her membership in the Order of Our Merciful Mother meant too much to her. Some tales say she died chaste, choosing to save the children of others rather than bear and protect her own. But to this day, it's said that the Garou never suffered so much from the Inquisition as did the Leeches or the warlocks - and Guilietta Hidden Road is one of those that the werewolves have to thank for that.
