Juan Stroncoso

Juan "Vibora" Stroncoso is a Storm Lord Irraka member of the Lodge of Winter.

Overview

Juan Stroncoso always knew he was pretty smart, but for the longest time he was a little too cavalier about it. When he passed his ordeal and was admitted into the Storm Lords, he knew he was the best of the best - and as a new-moon, he figured there wasn't a person on two legs or four that could outwit him. He even got away with believing it for a while, but the world was too big and mean for him not to learn otherwise eventually. When his comeuppance came, he survived - but he lost a packmate to the Pure he he'd underestimated. The loss hit him hard, and he fell into a morose depression. When he went looking for some sort of guidance on how to cope, he was pointed by one of his tribemates to the Lodge of Winter. It was exactly what he needed.

He's learned a lot since his induction. Now Vibora puts his cunning to work for the Forsaken much as he did before, but tempered with the careful patience of the Lodge of Winter. He believes wholeheartedly in the lodge's principles, and becomes quickly annoyed with other werewolves who remind him of his younger, dumber self. He isn't the most talented mystic in the lodge, but he's become excellent at analyzing enemies and picking out their weak points. He's most likely to be moving through the local territory on a scouting errand, and is sure to include any packs he meets in his overall "evaluation."

Vibora is lean and graceful, dark-skinned and just this side of handsome. He tends to wear expensive club attire when dressing to impress, but is happy going barefoot in jeans and a wifebeater when doing his ritual work. Rather than conceal the long scar on his torso, he has had a detailed snake tattoo added around the scar, following its path. He likes jewelry with occult motifs, particularly as it tends to make other people dismiss him as a harmless wannabe occultist. In wolf form, he is sleek and black, with a long, white streak along his belly that matches his scar.
