Orson Gravely

Orson "Graveseeker" Gravely is a rank 4 Homid Bone Gnawer Theurge.[1]

Biography

Orson was once Graveseeker, a powerful and high-ranked Theurge of the Sept of the Green, in Central Park, New York City. Following an ominous vision, he traveled to the Deep Umbra and there met the source of his current madness.

The Wounded Bird of his vision was a sign of the Defiler Wyrm, whose machinations run so deep into New York City that they gravely threaten the sept there. By following the bird to its source, Graveseeker encountered the Wyrm of Corruption itself. His mind could not survive the encounter and was shattered into different shards, his moon personalities.

While he cowered on the ground, the Puppeteers came to him, whispering of their plan and his part in it. This new purpose, no matter how corrupt and foul, was the only shred of meaning left to Graveseeker, so he grasped it heartily and rebuilt a core of sanity around it. Now, he serves the Puppeteers in their plot to corrupt Valkenburg.

Appearance

In Homid form, Orson is a slightly-built man in his early forties. His eyes, however, are piercing, staring from their cavernous sockets. His eyebrow grow together in a bushy tangle. In wolf form, Orson has a startling silver-furred pattern up and down his black-furred back. The pattern seems to form meaningless runic writings.

Personalities: One for each moon phase:
New Moon: Oswald, a giggly child of thirteen. Malicious. Subterfuge +2.
Crescent Moon: Graveseeker, a powerful Theurge. When not in command of the body, Graveseeker can split off and travel the Umbra as a spirit; thus Orson can be in two places at once. Orson has kept this personality secret. Valkenburg knows its there, but has not "extracted" it yet, allowing Graveseeker to travel the Umbra freely. Enigmas +3, Rituals 5, Occult +3.
Graveseeker has a special, rare fourth level Theurge Gift: Grasp the Beyond. This allows him to take things from the Umbra without having to step sideways. He can also put things into the Umbra. Graveseeker has a stash of odd items that he keeps in the Umbra near him, such as his wolfsbane from Story One. He must spend one Willpower point to grasp hand-held objects (stones, knives), two for larger objects (swords), and three for huge objects (an unconscious Garou). Fetishes can resist with their Gnosis versus the grasper's Willpower.
Half Moon: Oliver, a stern and harsh disciplinarian. Leadership 4.
Gibbous Moon: Ohna, an emotional and expressive young man. He will be extreme in all his behavior and is quite persuasive. Charisma +2, Expression +2, Performance +2.
Full Moon: Orson himself, the most dominant personality in the body. The personality of Graveseeker's rage given form. Orson bullies the other personalities. This is his most common, and angry, face. Athletics +2, Brawl +2, Dodge +1, Intimidation +3, Primal Urge +2.
Note: If there are no Bone Gnawers in the characters' sept, then simply change Orson's tribe to one which will fit, by changing his Bone Gnawer gifts to that of another tribe.
