Biography[]

Antonine is a wise Stargazer who has recently been reading some frightening portents. He has seen the Wyrm as a great hydra uncoiling a horrible new head: a head studded with the face of screaming children. He does not know the meaning of the omen, but he knows the nature of the beast.

He has insisted at several revels that the destruction of this new beast cannot be accomplished by tooth and claw, but instead requires all Garou to purify themselves and rededicate themselves to Gaia's true way.

He calls for all Garou to heal their own inner wounds, the wounds of homids, and the wounds of mortal society. He calls for a great revel in which the Garou tribes present their grievances against one another, acknowledge the grievances of others, ask forgiveness, forgive offenses committed, and accept the forgiveness of the other tribes. Anything less will doom the tribes to tear at each other's throats while the enemy gloats.

His calls for tribal healing have made even the Children of Gaia uncomfortable, and Antonine has received very few visitors since he announced his plan.

Appearance[]

Antonine has mid-length golden fur with a white-gold underbelly. In homid form, he looks like a tanned, middle-aged outdoorsman, with leathery skin and blond-flecked brown hair. He is 47 years old.
