Heals-the-Land is a Ursus Rishi Mountain Guardian Gurahl.
History[]
Heals-the-Land is the current generation's Great Grandfather of Bears, and he doesn't care for the position one bit. The world is ending - that much is apparent to anyone with eyes - and he seems to have earned the privilege of helping it along, for better or worse. He rather hoped that things wouldn't come to this, at least not in his lifetime, but it seems Gaia had other plans. Such is life.
Heals-the-Land knows full well that his is merely a supporting role in the grand scheme of things. He - and, indeed, all of the Gurahl - are meant only to help ensure that the Garou do what they know is right, nothing more. Some might chafe at being sidelined in such a fashion, but Heals-the-Land understands that this has always been Gaia's will. If the Garou had only understood that from the beginning, things might be different now.

In Homid form, Heals-the-Land is a clean-shaven man of average height and build, with brown hair and green eyes. An air of gentle sadness surrounds him, and he seems both welcoming and distant. His Crinos form is all business, towering more than 15 feet high and weighing in excess of 2,000 pounds. He rarely takes this form, but has found it extremely useful for intimidating uppity Garou. His breed form is that of a grizzled old Kodiak bear, and this is the form he favors most of the time.
