Lukas Reimann

Lukas "Barbarossa" Reimann is a Blood Talon Rahu member of the Lodge of the Black Woods.

Overview

Lukas Reimann grew up of illustrious wolf-blooded parentage, at least for the region. His grandmother on his mother's side was Greta Hundred-Wounded, and he grew up on carefully veiled stories about just how important and respected she was with "certain people." As a child, he showed strong signs of having the blood; he went out for athletics as an attempt to find a good outlet for all the energy and emotion that was his birthright. When the spirits began gathering in the dead of winter as he started to show the signs of the blood, his grandmother was the one to catch him walking alone at night and take a taste of his blood. After a violent full-moon Change in a university parking lot, the lodge was quick to bring him in.

However, Lukas didn't opt to join his grandmother's tribe. He had never really been a philosophical sort, and he saw the local Bone Shadows as too reactive a force. Lukas preferred to tackle problems head on and deal with them expediently. With his athletic background and the blessing of the full moon, he caught the full attention of the Suthar Anzuth, and he liked what they had to say. Upon his initiation into the Blood Talons, Lukas took the name "Barbarossa" - partly a nod to his own red beard, but also in homage to the Holy Roman Emperor of note. His grandmother noted laconically that even in an age without emperors, an emperor's drive might be a good thing. It didn't take him too long to forge a pack out of the recently Changed and a pair of veterans who liked the look in his eye. He already has a strong reputation as a good fighter and a clever planner; he has a keen tactical mind that should only improve with more experience.

Greta Hundred-Wounded's recent death has lit a new fire in Lukas. In his own way, he felt that the best way to mourn her and honor her vision was with a grand gesture. Something impressive, something visceral. The thought gradually grew into a greater longing - the desire for a grand crusade. Barbarossa wants to take leadership not only of his own pack, but of several packs, all coordinated against a common enemy. Part of him entertains the thought of becoming the Blood Talon representative at the lodge council, but the other part would rather go find glory while he's still relatively free to do so. His pack is already willing to follow his lead, and other werewolves are becoming intrigued at the prospect of a grand hunt for a grand cause. If he finds tat cause, he may become a great hero - but if he chooses to hunt before he has that cause, he may become a reckless and terrible danger.

Lukas is a large young man, broad-shouldered and with the build of a woodsman or heavy laborer. Befitting his tribal name, he had deep red hair and a thick but well-trimmed beard. In wolf form, his coat is black with reddish highlights. He carries himself with the intense confidence of a werewolf who has measured his own weaknesses and found precious few.
