Blood-Licker is a Homid Ahroun Bone Gnawer Guardian of the Sept of the Awakening.[1]
Biography[]
Blood-Licker is one of the defenders of the caern. He knows the Metro system better than any other Garou. He spends most of his time patrolling the city with his Black Rat Pack, hunting agents of the Wyrm. He rents an apartment near Howard University.
Blood-Licker joined the sept as a youth. He doesn't recall his life before the Change except in violent nightmares. Blood-Licker is attached to Father Thomas, and he tries hard not to look bad in Father Thomas' eyes. He lost ritual combats constantly while growing up, and he was named for licking his wounds. He doesn't like his Garou name.
As an adult, however, he has slain a number of vampires. When he rage in a battle, he ended up drinking Leech blood. He has the Potence Discipline from drinking vampiric blood. On any strength roll, Blood-Licker automatically receives an extra success. However, he is much more prone to Rage. All of his Rage difficulty numbers are reduced by one. This Potence only lasts after he has recently feasted on vampire blood, but Blood-Licker is growing addicted to the blood of the Leeches. He hasn't told anyone at the caern about this craving, not even members of his Black Rat Pack.
Blood-Licker has a Leech source named George Lawrence who lives in the sewers and chain smokes. He knows that George is a recovering drug addict who likes the San Antonio Spurs and is one of the Nosferatu. George is one of the keepers of the Metro truce. He provides Blood-Licker with information about the Wyrm's activities. Blood-Licker has considered telling him about his possible addiction, but he had refrained so far. Currently, he avoids George so that his friend doesn't become a meal. For his part, George has noticed the change in Blood-Licker, and he may try to contact other Garou.
Blood-Licker's addiction does not register on the Gift: Sense Wyrm (This would no longer be true if he were to perform a bestial act that would, in a sense, reduce his "Humanity".)
Appearance[]
