Piotr Volk was the Silver Fang alpha of the Sept of the Crescent Moon, in Russia.[1] Tamara Tvarivich was his niece.
The war against Baba Yaga drove many Silver Fangs leaders deep into Harano, Volk among them. He became obsessed with the Firebird Crystal, a tribal artifact of myth, and sent many good warriors deep into the Umbra to find it. Many of them did not return. Eventually Tamara recovered the crystal, but Volk's attempt to use it destroyed his mind, leaving him unable to lead his sept any longer.
Biography[]
Piotr Volk can trace his lineage back almost directly to the first leader of the Sept of the Crescent Moon. He was groomed from a young age to lead the sept, and through it, lead the Silver Fangs of Russia. Galliards in his own time sing of his deeds and pay homage to what he has done. His story adorns a portion of the wall of legend.
When he inherited the mantle of leadership from his sire 50 years ago, Piotr was the ideal leader: just, caring and ruthless in destroying his enemies. All were proud to serve under him. Age, however, has not been kind to him. The burdens of leadership have begun to grow heavy, and he finds it hard to tell enemies from friends. He sees the changes in the Garou, and sees them being forced backwards from their goal, but does not trust anyone enough to give them this information.
It saddens him greatly to see that the most promising of the new Silver Fangs, Nicolai, has fallen under the spell of corruption. This is a blemish that must not come to light on the tribe. For that reason, he gives Predatelski and his pack the most dangerous tasks, though to this day, Nicolai has always returned, and each time with more glory than the last.
Appearance[]
Piotr is a massive wolf with silver fur that almost glows. He has at times been mistaken for a spirit in the woods by human and Garou alike. In Homid form, his age and auspice are both shown. He appears as a heavily built woodsman whose arms and chest are marked by heavy scarring, and his beard is white with age. Despite his rustic appearance, he posses a very noble demeanor. He appears to be approaching 60, but is, in fact, closer to 85.
