Daniel Thunderstar is a Blood Talon Irraka member of the Lodge of Wendigo.
Overview[]
The first thing anyone notices about Daniel is his emaciated figure. He is whip-lean, with his bunched muscles clinging tightly to his bones and without an inch of fat on his body. His cheeks are slightly sunken, and he has dark rings around his eyes, as though he's starving and hasn't slept in days. He isn't an unhealthy guy, nor does his slight frame lack strength, but the tolls of his wandering lifestyle coupled with the knowledge of his cannibalism is slowly wearing him away.
He was born on a Native American reservation in North America, though he quickly left to pursue a slew of "nowhere" jobs in a series of cities. When he talks about his past, he cites a number of jobs as a roadie, car mechanic, apprentice electrician and construction worker. He refuses to speak of his life on the reservation, and seems to have no contact with his family. He also refuses to speak of his membership to the Lodge of Wendigo, and prefers if no one knows of his allegiance at all.
In social situations, Daniel is charming and talkative, as well as being an eager listener. He has a wealth of drinking fames that he likes to unleash upon an unsuspecting crowd, and no shortage of stories of funny happenings and accidents from his life on the road. Currently, he is looking for a pack to join, in the hope he can find some stability in his life and beat the growing addiction to using the Rite of Forbidden Flesh. Wendigo himself has visited the werewolf and warned against the excessive uses of the ritual; such is Daniel's potential for further degeneration that even Wendigo is no longer laughing.
Daniel took the deed name Thunderstar from what he calls he "vision-quest." Several years ago, he deprived himself of food for a week and a half in order to go cold turkey on the emerging addiction to cannibalism. He experienced repeating hallucinations of a storm in the sky, and a single star pulsing with light amongst the clouds. He has no idea what this vision could mean, if anything, and is looking for an Ithaeur he can trust enough to discuss it.
