Father Wolf

In ancient times, Father Wolf was the most powerful predator in Pangea. In this time, the barriers between the realms of flesh and of spirit were not as thick as they are today and exchange from both sides were more easy.

Balance between them both was kept by Father Wolf, a being from the Shadow Realm of great power, who patrolled the borders between the worlds, with teeth and claws he pushed the mortals back into safety of the world of flesh and suppressed the mightiest of spirits who would dare to disturb it, so that both realms could live in peace from each other. To those spirits who followed the balance, he allowed spirits to remain in the spirit world and even form cults around them. His eyes were said to burn with supernatural strength and conviction, the righteous rage that made him the greatest hunter there ever was.

Amazed by his power, Luna descended from the sky and the two gave birth to the First Pack, the ancestors of the Uratha, part human, part wolf and part spirit.

According to the legends of the Uratha, five of his sons, the ancestors of the Tribes of the Moon, slew him when he got too old and weak to maintain his vigil. With his last breath, Father Wolf let out a monstrous howl that sundered the very fabric of the worlds and between them rose the Gauntlet, a barrier separating the worlds of the spirits and the flesh.

In the course of this, Luna cursed her children with their weakness against silver.
