Longstar

Longstar is a Homid Galliard Wendigo Gatekeeper of the Sept of the Painted Sands.[1]

Biography

As a young man, Longstar was on his way to local stardom, playing in a band called The Coyotes. His heritage was no burden to him, but he drifted away from rock and roll to traditional songs and rituals. He trained under Billy Two Heart, a noted human Chanter, or Navajo shaman. He became a Chanter under Billy's tutelage, and his position in the sept gradually became clear as the Gatekeeper.

His feats of singing include a nine day sing over the dying body of Glass Bird, the previous chieftain. Longstar is also the closet the sept had to a doctor, curing the ills of the sept with traditional "sings". Longstar is well known as a Chanter in the reservation, and he and John Big Fish are often called to perform the Blessing way or other ceremonies in the surrounding towns. However, his duties as Gatekeeper require him to stay at the caern at all times. those who want a Blessing Way from him must come to the village at the foot of the mesa for his rituals.

Appearance

Longstar is a vigorous man in his sixties. His Lupus form is a large grizzled wolf.
