Preys Unseen
Preys Unseen is a Predator King alpha of the Howl of the Before Time Pack in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Overview
To the local Predator Kings, Preys Unseen is a hero, a living legend, an incarnation of Dire Wolf and the bane of the Forsaken. To the Tribes of the Moon, Preys Unseen is a primitive savage without mercy. Standing at five-foot seven and with a wiry build, Preys Unseen is a diminutive poster boy for the Ninna Farakh. His body is covered in claw scars from wounds taken in battle, almost all on his chest, stomach and thighs. Although he is only 34 years old, he has spent the 15 years since his defection from the Blood Talons bringing death to his former tribemates.
A former member of the Lodge of Wendigo (and one who skirted dangerously close to cannibalism then) Preys Unseen was a guerrilla fighter with obvious talents even in his youth with the urban Suthar Anzuth of Mexico City. His defection came not as a forced conversion, but as the result of soul-searching - he had never felt comfortable around people even before his Change, and now that he found himself as a member of a superior species, he felt no qualms about regarding humans as below him and hunting them as prey. He went to the Pure Tribes willingly, seeking them out to see if his new outlook would match their own.
It did. Preys Unseen led the seven-strong Howl of the Before Time for some months before the Brethren War brought the pack to New Mexico. His previous pack had splintered over ideological differences, and Preys Unseen (who claimed to have forgotten his human name by this point) led the Predator Kings of the pack away from the others. Lacking any goal and specific hunting ground, Preys Unseen followed the trails north into the United States, letting fate guide his feet.
He heard about the opportunities Santa Fe offered in terms of wilderness and human prey, and Howl of the Before Time joined in the attacks on the region. During the early period of the conflict, Preys Unseen discovered the strange spirit, Scion, in the Sangre de Cristos, and used the totem's powers to help raise the pack to the ranks of the leading packs.
Preys Unseen feels little in the way of pride for the Anshega and doesn't care for any notions of honor. What matters to him is victory at any cost, and the satisfaction of his hunter's heart. Around his neck he wears a necklace made of Forsaken fingerbones, with the centerpiece being the broken skull of a Lodge of Garm Rahu who challenged him to single combat several years ago.
