Grek Twice-Tongue is a Metis Philodox Silent Strider from Australia. He was rank 3 in Rage: Warriors of the Apocalypse[1], and rank 4 in Rage Across Australia[2] Despite how he is depicted in his Rage card, he does not literally have two tongues. His Metis condition is albinism.
Biography[]
Grek Twice-Tongue was born the only child of a Silent Strider and a Stargazer who traveled with the Gampila Aboriginal Dance Company for one week - long enough to conceive the albino boy. Deemed to be a Silent Strider, Grek grew up as a circus child. Always a performer, Grek was thrust onto the stage at a young age. His life was controlled by his mother, Warratah Utemara, until her untimely death on Grek's 18th birthday. Grek is universally respected for his prodigious storytelling powers. Because of his metis status, he is avoided by Garou who are not Silent Striders.
Grek Twice-Tongue was chosen 12 years ago as the Silent Strider representative upon the Jindabyne Council - not by vote, as is traditional, but by the spirits of the Dreamtime. When the Striders were gathered for the Great Circus, voices crying Grek's name were heard in the wilderness, and every Theurge present dreamed of Twice-Tongue's destiny. It had been foretold that Grek will be responsible for freeing the tribes from their guilt, although none knows when and how this will occur.
Appearance[]
In his Homid form, Grek appears as an albino Aboriginal man of middle age. He is bald and usually wears a shapeless hat and dark glasses to protect him from the sun. His clothes are invariably dusty and threadbare. In Lupus form, Grek is a hairless, albino dingo. When performing before Garou he takes the Crinos form, naked and adorned with body paint and feathers.
