Medusa was a Galliard member of the Medusae - the first Black Fury pack, and is now a Totem of War.
Biography[]
Medusa is a character of legend among the Garou. The Black Furies say that when Medusa, the last of the Medusae finally died, Artemis (an avatar of Luna herself) coaxed Pegasus into existence from her corpse.
Totem Overview[]
Medusa is only older than Isthmene, and her Rage is no less frightening to behold. Medusa’s hatred of Man is only exceeded by Isthmene’s; it is said that she howled a song of rage when Pegasus adopted the first male metis of the Black Fury tribe, and that she abandoned her sisters for several years after that. Medusa, known by the poet Hesiod as “The Queen,” was a Galliard in life, and her songs remain beautiful; many of them serve as battlefield Rites on their own.
Medusa has once again left her sisters; whether willingly – due to a dispute with Helena or another – or as a result of battle with Wyrm- or Weaver-creatures is unknown. While most Furies assume that Medusa has no packs to call her own, the truth is that perhaps one or two packs have heard her distant calls, and receive some inspiration from their faraway mother.
