Heather Hammond

Heather "Goreheart" Hammond is a Iron Master Rahu member of the Whispers pack in Chicago, Illinois.

Overview

When Heather arrived in Chicago three years ago, she met a welcoming committee from the Hooked Claws pack. Against all odds, she beat them soundly, and several died of their wounds. That, at least, is her story - and although it's the story the Whispers promote, it seems damn unfeasible to anyone who's crossed paths with the Hooked Claws. Heater is tough as nails, but she would have to be some sort of incarnate wolf-god to survive an attack from a Pure pack on her own, much less kill three or four of them.

The truth is that Heather didn't really do the majority of the work. To be sure, she carried her share of the fight, including finishing off an old and tough Predator King, but the real fight that went down was between the Hooked Claws and a gang of unaligned vampires. It was apparently some sort of deal with the vampires who had brought Heather to Chicago, but the Pure caught her scent and crashed the meet. Heather escaped with terrible wounds, and as luck would have it, was found by the Architects of Steel two nights later as she lay feverish in an alley. Olivia thanked Heather for weakening the Hooked Claws, and saw to it that Heather was nursed back to health - and then politely invited her to move right along.

Heather might not have made her way out of Chicago successfully if not for a Bone Shadow spirit watcher giving Sarah Rainbringer a heads up. The Whispers were more than pleased to have a proven Rahu join their pack. In return for her service, though, Heather didn't want to details of her deal with the vampires to get out. The Whispers agreed to keep that secret, but Heather suspects that Olivia knows all about it. Between that little bit of information and the brusque brush-off she received, Heather cannot stand Olivia Citysmith, and gets agitated even hearing the Architect's name.

Heather makes a decent living as a day trader and is in charge of managing the pack's "real-world" resources. She is tall and lean, with shoulder-length ash blond hair. The name "Goreheart" was acquired in that fateful fight, when she pushed her hand through the heart of a Predator King a few years back (Rasia Lujanov's father, to be exact). Heather's wolf form is large, with tawny brown fur. In human shape, she often wears some variety of yoga pants with a sweatshirt or T-shirt.
