Tundra Runner is a Red Talon Galliard. He was born in 1950 . Presumably he was born in the earlier part of the year (January through March or even April), as that is when gray wolves are born.[1][2] He has been the Alpha of all the Red Talons in Russia since 1973. He is a skilled leader, but very outmatched, as the Red Talon population in Russia is less than 100, as the government's "great war on wolves" destroyed much of the wolf breeding stock. He has also had to deal with a recent supernatural surge of energies throughout Russia, which has killed Garou and wolves alike, regardless of tribe. While he is unaccustomed to performing covert operations, he has sent several packs, made up of Theurges and Philodox, to Moscow, the apparent source of the supernatural attacks. The packs are attempting to find out what is causing the attacks, and if and how it can be stopped.[3]

Tundra Runner led a pack into the Umbra, braving the Shadow Curtain to open a way back to the tribe's home realm. Pursued by a pack of Black Spiral Dancers, he has not resurfaced, even a year after Baba Yaga's death. If Tundra Runner ever returns from his mission, his belief that the tribe's true future lies in returning to Pangaea may divide the tribe.[4]

Tribebook: Red Talons
"Also, I heard a rumor while in Russia that Tundra Runner, a rather infamous Talon and hard-line Predator King, returned from the Umbra with a "great secret to share with his tribe." Tundra Runner, I've heard, had a habit of pissing off potential allies, but he seems to have made some friends now, because I couldn't get straight answers out of anyone. One Ragabash actually suggested that the entire caern was transported into an Umbral realm! Is that even possible?" - Malcolm Night-Smile[5]

Biography[]

Tundra Runner is 43 and has been the top Alpha of all the Red Talons in Asia for 20 years, a feat not matched in a dozen generations. He knows he is outgunned and outmatched, but he is the best leader available. The Soviet pogrom on wolves has reduced the tribe drastically, and he will do anything to get revenge for this, even sending spies into human society.

Appearance[]

In Lupus, Tundra Runner is an overwhelming red wolf. His claws are prominent, but his fangs are subdued enough that he can speak well. His Homid form has flaming red hair, but no other truly distinctive features; he very rarely takes Homid form.
