Biography

The Fianna of New York are ruled by Riordan Cliffgrazer, a chieftain of enormous appetites and great passions. He is a bounteously mirthful Garou who writes the most mournful songs. He is a gifted musician and a very violent combatant. He will turn on anyone who disobeys him, or who menaces the tribe or those the tribe protects. He shows little mercy to his foes until he is sure the threat they pose is nullified, whereupon he treats them with the kindness and forgiveness usually reserved for a wayward child who has come home. He has even forgiven his tribesmen who served as pawns for the Wyrm, but only after they repented and begged for forgiveness.
His policies have been to take a hard line with the Uktena when they try to take more control of the Caern of the White Water, and to forgive and forget their grasping as soon as they back off. This decisive nature characterizes all his doings.
His connections with Kinfolk in various New York police departments have painted a picture that disturbs him. Besides standard corruption and graft (often vampire-based), he has seen a new strain of corruption emerge from several city governments at once. There seems to be a greater willingness to overlook the most virulent of child abuse crimes, and to release well-connected people accused of violent molestations. The government officials in question all seem to have connections to political pundit Arnold F. Arbulent.
Riordan is looking into the matter, and would be very grateful to anyone who can provide information about, or recount an experience with, these shadowy people. He does not know about the Government Caste of the Seventh Generation, but is on its trail.

If he loses, he will party unexhausted into the night with a +3 to all his Social Dice Pool. Once morning comes, however, he will crash hard, and no one will be able to awaken him for a week. When he does awaken, he will have a splitting headache for the rest of the day and be at -2 to all his Dice Pools), Titania's Wine (Talen, good for two drinks. Gnosis 6. This is the cure for Oberon's Ale. If forced down the throat of the sleeping imbiber, the sleeper must make a Stamina +2 roll versus the Wine's Gnosis. If he loses, he awakens with no headache. If he wins, the Wine has no effect), various talens
