Walks-with-Might

Walks-with-Might is an elder Silent Strider.^[1]

Biography[]

Walks-with-Might was born into a wartime sept in northern Egypt that was dedicated to combating the incessant scheming of the vampires known as the Followers of Set. Vile and unholy minions of the Wyrm, these vampires trafficked in drugs, slaves, weapons, vice, and other decadent aspects of the humans that populated the cities. As a youth, Walks-with-Might led numerous effective attacks against these vampires, though they seemed to get stronger after every conflict. His sept finally realized that the Followers of Set were merely making more vampires to replace the ones killed by fellow Garou.

At this point, Walks-with-Might began to understand the Sisyphian nature of his sept's position; no matter how many Setties were killed, there would always be more, and all he and his packmates could ever hope to do was slow the vampires' efforts; they would never be able to stop them. This point was driven home when the Followers of Set managed to capture the leader of the sept, turning him into an utterly corrupt combination of vampire and Garou, an Abomination, in a grand gesture of mockery.

Steeling his heart, Walks-with-Might cornered and slew the former leader of his once-mighty sept as every ounce of his being revolted against the desperate and tragic loss of one of Gaia's greatest avengers. Cold and barren after being forced to destroy one of Gaia's chosen, Walks-with-Might has since reinforced within himself his true role in the imminent Apocalypse, though the screams of his slain enemies follow him into his sleep every night.

Huge, well-muscled, and perpetually clam, Walks-with-Might carries himself with an incredibly regal air. He moves with a near-feline grace and a purpose that command attention whenever he is present. He has remarkably fine features for a wolf; these features are a direct result of his breeding and Egyptian origin and carry a look of predatory intelligence in whichever from he takes. His coat is always a shiny, dusky tan.
