Chases-Street-Demons is a Lupus Ahroun Silver Fang.[1][2]
Biography[]
Rage Across Russia
Chases-Street-Demons seemed to have been born a hero. He gained his fetish, as powerful as it is, on his Rite of Passage, and although he was quite inexperienced in the ways of sword combat, he learned quickly. His name stems from the fact that during his Rite of Passage, he chased down and destroyed a car. Now he spends his time either travelling across Russia or standing before the wall of heroes at the Caern of the Crescent Moon, forever hoping to see himself on it.

The lupus Ahroun Chases-Street-Demons is another Fang whose renown grew boundlessly though his participation in the war against the Hag. In the early days after the Shadow Curtain fell, he was known more for his boasting and self-aggrandizement than for his own skill. Unusually for a lupus he preferred to spend most of his time in Crinos or Homid. Many speculated that his choice was the result of the rather embarrassing incident during his Rite of Passage where he chased down and destroyed a car on a county road because he believed it to be "of the Wyrm". The truth was rather more interesting than that.
After wiping out a small group of Black Spiral Dancers single-handedly near the end of his Rite of Passage, Chases was led by a falcon-spirit to a cave hidden deep in the Ural Mountains. There he found two swords buried deep into the rock. He tried tugging at one, and then the other, both in vain. And then in frustration and growing rage he pulled both at once, and they slipped out easily. These were the legendary Twin Swords of Lothair, a matched pair of fetishes that must be wielded Florentine style: one in each hand. Any attempt to use them any other way is doomed to failure, as the sword buries itself in the ground. Chases preferred wielding the swords to adopting his Lupus form whenever possible, so great was their power.
As the long war against the Hag drew on, Chases' enthusiasm for self-promotion waned. He even started spending time in wolf form when there was no immediate danger of battle. His deeds spoke for themselves and he felt no need to go chasing after trouble. It always seemed to come to him.
When he met Tamara Tvarivich towards the end of the struggle, he found a mind and spirit that complemented his own. The two soon became allies and close friends. One of Tamara's strengths as a strategist was her ability to plan battles that occurred on more than one front simultaneously. When she needed a trusted warrior to take command of the werewolves on the second front, she turned first to Chases. He also served as her liaison to the other tribes in Russia. For some reason that neither of them has been able to fathom, they react better to her message coming from a lupus than from a homid messenger.
After the Shadow Curtain fell and Queen Tvarivich turned her attention to clean-up duty against the remains of the Hag's army, Chases turned his attention to the rest of the world. The great battles in Russia were over for a short while. He sought new battles, and new victories, in other pats of the world. He can be found leading assaults, advising Silver Fang rulers all over the world and occasionally mentoring newly formed packs that show promise.
Appearance[]
Rage Across Russia
In Homid, Chases stands a little over six feet tall and has long flowing silver hair with black stripes. In Lupus, he is a long silver wolf with black ears and a black striped tail.
Tribebook: Silver Fangs
In Homid form, Chases is tall and imposing, with sharp features and long flowing silver hair, striped with black. He dresses in plain functional clothing these days, eschewing the flamboyance of his youth. His swords are always at his side. In Lupus form, which he wears more and more frequently, he is a long, lean silver wolf with black ears and a black striped tail. Traces of the fetish swords can be seen along his flanks by moonlight, as his fur there appears to glisten.
