Fireclaw

Fireclaw is a male Theurge Red Talon. Originally from Alaska^[1], he has recently led Red Talons into Las Vegas in an effort to root out Wyrm taint. While there he attacks one of the Ragnarok Casino Employees and ends up in a fight with Moe Stimple.

Overview[]

Fireclaw was born in Alaska, far from civilization. His father was a Garou, and Fireclaw was underwent the Baptism of Fire a short time after birth. Upon his First Change, his father took him from his pack, brought him to a moot and sent him on his Rite of Passage.

Fireclaw's first contact with humanity came sometime after his initiation into Garou society. He and his pack were tracking a herd of caribou when a strange buzzing creature dropped out of the sky. A man leaned out of it, and a sharp crack was heard over the roaring buzz of the frightening bird. The snow kicked up in Fireclaw's face, startling and angering the young Garou. He and his pack began running toward a stand of trees, hoping to hide from the strange beast. Another crack came from above, and one of Fireclaw's packmates fell, its blood coloring the snow.

Enraged, Fireclaw raced to a nearby stream. Gazing into a pool of water, he stepped into the Umbra. Calling the spirits of the air to his aid, he brought the helicopter crashing to the ground.

Returning to the material world, Fireclaw found two bodies. Both were clad in the skins of animals. In retribution, Fireclaw decided to make an example of his attackers, to warn off any other strangers who might come to his homeland. To this day, when Fireclaw stands on two legs, he wears his coat like a badge of courage.
