Sea's Howl

Sea's Howl was a Lupus Galliard Red Talon. She lived during the Dark Ages.^[1]

Background

Born to one of the few Red Talon septs in England, the wolf who would become Sea's Howl grew up with her pack much as the other wolves in the area did - avoiding man, hunting, playing and simply living. She underwent her First Change beneath the gibbous moon as humans in the forest played strange sounds on a hollow stick and leapt about a clearing like rabbits...seconds before the Red Talons pounced upon them and tore them limb from limb.

From that horrific introduction to the world of the Garou, Sea's Howl's life only got worse. She took to her role as a Galliard with gusto - collecting and retelling the stories of the Garou was the only thing that sustained her. She hated fighting and could never quite latch onto the hatred she was told to feel for humanity. She did relish her tribe's role as keepers of prophecy, however, and worried endlessly about the Prophecy of Shadow given to her tribe.

When the Flaying Plague arrived, Sea's Howl was away from her sept on an Umbral quest (part of her challenge for the rank of Athro). By the time she returned, everyone in her sept was dead, the bodies had been burned and the Silver Fangs had taken over the caern.

Sea's Howl fled north into Scotland until she could run no further, and now wanders the coastline trying to work up the courage to walk into the sea and end her life. The inhabitants of the nearby fermtouns have heard her howls at night, but they have nothing to fear from this wolf. What Rage and hatred she had is spent - all that's left are stories and grief.
