Hgienkad

Hgienkad is a rank 5 homid Theurge Black Spiral Dancer.[1]

History

Hgienkad is over 80 years old, and remembers little or nothing of his life before becoming Garou. He believes that he was not born to his tribe, but if he is a fallen Gaian, neither his appearance nor his Gifts betray his former allegiance. He rules the Thrashing Serpent Hive quietly but unquestionably, and brooks no challenge to his authority. He absolutely forbids fights to the death among his followers, however, and the punishment for killing another Black Spiral Dancer is to be fed to Apep.

Hgienkad's age is unknown and indeterminable. He appears to be in his late 30s, most of the time, but sometimes, after a visit with Apep, he appears much younger. He is tall and lithe, with dark skin and hair, and maleficent fire behind his eyes. His voice is clear and gentle, and he never speaks above a conversational tone (even in Crinos form, he communicates with soft growls).

Rites: Any and all rites that the Storyteller requires, most of which are blasphemous perversions of Gaian rites.
Fetishes: Shadow Mirror (Level 5, Gnosis 7): This small, circular mirror holds a shadow-spirit, and grants the wielder some disturbing powers. Upon successful activation, the user may enter shadows as though stepping sideways, emerging from any shadow not more than (user's activation successes x 10 in yards) away. The user re-emerges on the next turn, regardless of how many successes are achieved on the "shadow-stepping" roll. The user must emerge from a shadow in a location he has seen before, and if the user is familiar with the location, may use the fetish to appear in a strategic location (-2 difficulty to an attack following use of the fetish). Hgienkad, of course, knows the Hive like the back of his hand and commonly creates a Shroud around his enemies and then uses the fetish to appear, strike, and vanish before anyone knows what's happening.
Notes: While Hgienkad has not belonged to a pack in years, he has taken Apep as his personal totem. Once per day, Hgienkad may call upon the great serpent and increase his Strength and Stamina to 5 (in Homid form) for one scene. Afterwards, he is ravenously hungry and must consume at least five pounds of flesh within an hour or enter a brutal frenzy and feed on the first living thing he sees.
