John Marx

John Marx is a Blood Talon Elodoth member of the Mountain Demons Pack in Colorado.

Background

John Marx and his cousin Karen were born to a family with a strong strain of wolf blood, most of it from interbreeding with Blood Talons. All members of the family are instructed in martial arts, firearms use and other martial pursuits from an early age. John, however, didn't seem to have the same affinity for it as many of his family. He and Karen would instead spend hours discussing political and spiritual matters. Only their grandmother seemed to think the wolf's blood was strong in them. As it happened, she was right - John and Karen underwent their First Changes within a week of each other, she under the crescent moon and he under the half moon.

John realized that he was never going to be the same sort of warrior as many of his tribe, but his knack for resolving intra-pack disputes was nothing short of prodigal. As such, his family suggested that he might try to join a multi-tribal pack, since he could get along with other werewolves so well (He suspects that this suggestion was somewhat derisive.) He met Dawn Ghostfoot a short time later and - impressed with how she deftly balanced joining one of the two tribes that offered her membership without offending the other - asked her to join with him and Karen into a pack. The three of them met up with Omen shortly thereafter, and then with the three Bone Shadows just over a year later.

When Karen was killed by the Predator Kings in Wyoming, John's normally staid demeanor unraveled considerably. He's a bit more stable now, but he makes no secret of his hatred for the Ninna Farakh and his desire to take his vengeance upon them. As such, he is the most loyal of the pack to Catamount.

Now in his early 20s, John is tall and lean, with piercing blue eyes and a hungry expression. As is traditional with several men of the Marx family, he shaves his head every morning and will continue to do so until his cousin is avenged. Since taking Catamount as a totem, he walks with a slight limp in his left leg.
