Mike Berringer

Mike Berringer is a Iron Master Irraka.

Background

“ "Lots of people have secrets. You really don’t want to know mine." ”

Until nine months ago, Mike was just another opinionated college student with an ISP and enough bandwidth to make some noise. The child of activists, Mike grew up with politics in his blood. His high grades won him a prestigious Ivy League scholarship, but spending more time online debating politics than actually attending class caused his GPA to plummet. One of his devoted readers was a special assistant to the governor. A true believer like Mike, the special assistant leaked some private memos involving illegal deals between the governor and a construction company with ties to organized crime. Mike used the memos as a starting point and was able to assemble enough corroborating evidence that no one could write him off as “some Internet crank.” The case is still crawling through the courts, but the governor’s political career is over.

Some tough guys cornered Mike outside his apartment building and hustled him into a car. It was a dark night — no moon. Mike awoke naked and covered in blood in an alley next to his building. The knock on his door wasn’t the cops or the wise guys’ friends, it was a pack of werewolves. A brief and futile fight later, Mike learned the truth about himself.

The Iron Masters in the pack taught him the basics of being Uratha, but their goals didn’t coincide with his. They didn’t believe in getting involved in “human affairs,” instead concentrating on the spirit world. When Mike learned of Max Roman’s dream of a werewolf alliance, it seemed a good fit for him, and possibly a place where he could do more good. He liked the concept, though he’s been burned in the past trying to get disparate groups to work together.

Description

Mike dresses for comfort, not style. His typical outfit is ratty jeans and a faded T-shirt. Weather permitting, he wears sandals or goes barefoot. His brown hair needs to be cut and falls over his eyes. He has a scruffy goatee that is never evenly shaved.
