Slatescrape-ikthya
Slatescrape-ikthya is a Homid Theurge Black Spiral Dancer Master of the Challenge of the Trinity Hive.[1]
Biography
Slatescrape first came to Trinity as a biologist studying the effects of radiation on local wildlife. He discovered the newly-formed Hive, was captured and fed to Grammaw before he could send for help. To everyone's surprise, he was later reborn as a fully corrupted and empowered Garou/Ferectoi hybrid.
His ambitions include leadership of the Hive, and he resents the fact that he will never be accepted as such, for he was not born a Black Spiral Dancer. He resents his position as Master of the Challenge, and turns that resentment upon everyone he must deal with in that capacity. He busies himself with detailed anatomical studies of Grammaw and other monsters. He sees this information as a key to personal power and jealously guards it from Pentex and other Black Spiral Dancers.
He has a theory that Thunderwyrms broodmothers arise spontaneously every thousand years or so when the Thunderwyrm population declines. Many broodmothers can exist until one of them destroys all its rivals. Slatescrape-ikthya is obsessed with the idea of Thunderwyrm brood mothers being created under Nevada H-bomb test sites, and this leads to constant feuding with Nevada Black Spiral Dancers.
Appearance
In Homid form, Slatescrape is a bespectacled professorial nebbish of diminutive size and bearing, and his other forms are equally unassuming. Riddled with a variety of minor diseases, he usually displays such symptoms as watery eyes, a running nose and profuse sweating. When using his Ferectoi powers, however, he presents a most fearsome image, with body-barbs shaped like scalpels and extra limbs wielding syringes, clamps and bone saws. He looks like a multi-armed Hindu god of surgery.
