Biography[]
After a brutal barbarian invasion laid waste to her parents' farmland, the girl that was Morrow was abandoned by her parents. Death found her in the form of Arnulf, the Beast, an ancient Gangrel who stalked Eastern Europe. At first, he considered feasting on her, but the prospect of a young child unspoiled by the human society appealed to him. He saw an opportunity to cultivate the ideal child – a solitary, self-sufficient vampire with superior skills. Arnulf decided he would Embrace her once she reached maturity.
For twenty years, he raised her and groomed her, until one day he trapped her inside a small territory and hunted her down. Still, she was able to evade the mighty Beast for quite some time, but the confrontation turned out to be inevitable. On the fifth night, a fierce battle took place. She was mauled by Arnulf, but managed to wound the Gangrel by piercing a dagger through his neck before being subdued by the predator. The next night, she awoke alone and undead.
Morrow headed south and garnered a reputation of a fierce warrior. This reputation helped her in the quest to gather her fellow Gangrel. She believed the only way for her clan to survive the advance of civilization was to cooperate, so she encouraged the Gangrel to form packs throughout the Balkans and Hungary, and watched over great gatherings of her clan.
She was the leader of an army of the Gangrel and wild animals that attacked the warring Ventrue (under the leadership of Jürgen von Verden) and Tzimisce (Vladimir Rustovich and his thralls) in the Battle of Tűzföld – a bloody confrontation that ended with a truce between all parties, negotiated by Myca Vykos.
In the following years, Morrow brought down two powerful noble Cainites, adding to her reputation. She stands as an important figure shaping the beliefs of those who follow the Road of the Beast.
