Sermon

Desmondo "Sermon" Ortega is a Bone Shadow Cahalith member of the Mountain Demons Pack in Colorado.

Background

Sermon, born Desmondo Ortega, was the new priest in a small town in southern Colorado. He had just begun to win his flock's trust when the stirrings of the First Change began. The spirits always seemed most active during his sermons, which took on a fiery, wrathful cast as his werewolf nature began to come to the fore. One night at a midnight Mass under a gibbous moon, he lapsed instinctively into First Tongue for a full five minutes. His parishioners sat in horror as he raised the chalice, his face growing hairy and elongated as the Change took him. The Lunacy covered his escape, as far as he knows.

Sermon fled north and met up with a small pack of Bine Shadows near Salida, Colorado, and underwent his initiation at the same time as Peter Vasquez. His deed name comes from his tendency to quote the Bible and generally preach when making a point. Despite his werewolf nature, Sermon remains a devout Catholic and attends Mass every Sunday. He greatly misses the pulpit, however, and still wears his priest's collar.

Sermon is a Mexican man in his late 20s. He has black hair typically tied into a ponytail and looks perpetually sunburned. Since taking on Catamount as a totem, Sermon has begun squinting when reading or trying to focus on something distant.
