Michael Norge
Michael Norge is Get of Fenris Kinfolk and the General Manager of Pangloss Cosmetics.
Overview
Unlike his half-brother, Samuel, Michael did not breed true. This is the reason he has developed an aversion to Garou. His distaste even extends to the Black Spiral Dancers, though he hides it well. His father, Robert, had some pull in Pentex and got him a job at Magadon. He was the fastest up-and-coming young executive at Megadon before that unfortunate incident with a Fomor. It had gone mad and was violating Pentex security protocols so Michael had him destroyed. Unfortunately, it was a favorite of the sociopath Harold Hines who also happened to be the president of Magadon. Michael was demoted and transferred to his current position at Pangloss. He feels he wasn't treated fairly by Pentex and is plotting his comeback and eventual revenge. He believes in the virtue of long-range planning.
At Pangloss he feels he is relatively safe, though he had feared for his life in the aftermath of the incident. His career is going nowhere, though. He is too big a fish for this small pond but one day Pentex will give him his due. With the creation of Kyrysma, he is on the fast track again.
Though he was cheated out of his Garou heritage, he knows he has a great destiny ahead of him in service to the Wyrm and has prepared himself accordingly. In an effort to compensate for the fact that he is not Garou, Michael has trained himself rigorously in the martial arts and is likewise well-versed in the use of various weapons, making him far more formidable than his restrained demeanor may indicate.
He is a very serious and intense individual, just like his half-brother. He is also ruthless but prudent in his use of power. He'll always prefer legal remedies before resorting to violence.

Michael is an athletic man in his late thirties. He dresses tastefully, if somewhat austerely, in custom-made suits. He has short, wavy black hair which is going grey at the temples. The overall impression is one of dignity. Aside from his hair and his age, he is a dead ringer for his half-brother Samuel.
