Gillian Gordon is a Ivory Claw member of the Seekers of Silenced Voices pack in Chicago, Illinois. She is also a member of the Cult of Bones Lodge.
Overview[]
Gillian grew up among wolf-blooded family, and throughout her childhood, she had "friends" that most people couldn't see. Whether because of her own abilities as a werewolf or because she was some sort of natural lure, spirits tended to encircle her. Some even came across the Gauntlet. Her relatives recognized this tendency as a valuable thing, and not long after her Change and subsequent indoctrination, she was initiated into the Cult of Bones. The trauma of her tribal induction only seemed to strengthen her connection to the shades of the dead, an omen that was greeted with delight.
Gillian is not quite the emotional fanatic that her packmate Wrath is, but it's true Gillian has no real life or ambitions beyond her pack and the Cult. She is dedicated to investigating the decades upon decades of death in the city - were the visitations of her youth meant to guide her here? What is it that can be gained from the ghosts found here? How did the shades of human dead correspond to the denizens of the Shadow, or was there no connection at all? Where is the link that leads to the legendary ghost of Father Wolf himself? This is the mission Gillian has set for the Seekers of Silenced Voices. Some of Chicago's other Ivory Claws look down on the pack as servants of a fringe belief, but they admit Gillian is always ready to lend a hand when a larger threat appears. Because of her lineage and her knowledge of things spiritual, even her detractors grudgingly admit she's useful - for now, at least.
Gillian's one of those people who radiates an aura of confidence, no matter what kind of clothes she's wearing. No one could say she's beautiful, but she gets a certain intimidating charisma from her wolfish aura of determination. She stands around five-and-a-half feet tall, is in her mid-30s and has medium brown hair, usually pulled into a manageable ponytail. Her eyes are green, with a touch of gold near the pupils, and her fur in wolf form roughly matches her human hair color.
