Biography
A Ronin Garou sired Old One-Eye on a scraggly wolf in New Orleans' Audubon Zoo. The local Bone Gnawers sprung him just after his second birthday and adopted him. They reared Little Bug-Eyes (as he was then called) on a steady diet of dumpster divings, Mississippi River water and TV reruns. From an early age he accumulated caches of "stuff" hidden all over town.
His troubles began at age 25 when he decided to build a better rat. He became arrogant due to his prodigious mechanical abilities. He created several generations of cyborg rodents with nothing more than some flash and old batteries. None survived the experience. Soon, he worked his way up to bums and hid his failures in the lot neat the docks. There, the small went unnoticed.
As a waste-not, want-not kind of Garou, Little Bug-Eyes began snacking on leftovers from his experiments: a blatant transgression of the Litany. He might have gotten away with a Rite of Contrition as penalty, but when the Glass Walker who had befriended and mentored him discovered the truth, Bug-Eyes panicked. Bug-Eyes murdered his mentor, then, desolate, gave himself up. His acts nearly ignited a tribal war between the Crescent City's Bone Gnawers and Glass Walkers. As punishment, Little Bug-Eyes was subjected to the Hunt, tantamount to a death sentence. Two Black Spiral Dancers intervened in the rite, however, and spirited him away from Gaia's intended justice. The pair convinced Bug-Eyes to read the Black Spiral, saying he was already halfway down the path. His path has been one of darkness ever since.
Little Bug-Eyes came to be Old One-Eye on his own "laboratory" table. His attempt to replace an eye with a "sensory module" of his own design was as successful as his previous experiments. Old One-Eye's bioengineering efforts in the service of the Wyrm continue.
Image
In his Homid form, Old One-Eye is a lean, grizzled fellow around 40. He is afflicted with perpetual five o'clock shadow, body order and lice. His Lupus form resembles a pea-green hyena rather than a wolf. A long, serpentine tongue often slides slowly from his mouth, then darts quickly, noisily back. Regardless of his form, a crudely fashioned metal plate covers the space formerly occupied by his right eye.
