Tanzut, the Battle Master, is a lupus Philodox, a respected member of the Silent Striders in the Brazilian Amazon.

Biography[]

Tanzût is the leader of her own Warg. She came to South America in search of her enemies: the Followers of Set. After a battle in Medellín nearly killed her, she fled to the jungles of the Amazon and discovered the war. She quickly joined up for the fight, rising quickly in the ranks.

The war is only a temporary distraction for her. She realizes the need to aid Gaia, but her seething hate for the Followers of Set may drive her to leave soon. Hunting down the vampires who drove her tribe from their homeland ages ago is her driving goal.

The secret behind Tanzût's hate is arcane. She is possessed by an ancestor who died under the fangs of a Setite. The past lives of a Strider's ancestors are normally closed to their experience, but Tanzût is different from the rest of her tribe. She wears this wondrous ability as a curse. Why she alone among her tribe has this ability to call her ancestors is a mystery, but the dead have seized the opportunity and use her as a tool for vengeance.

She's a very quiet person, thinking that there's very little that needs saying. When she does speak, it is plain and straight with no attempt at subtlety. She is on a mission of vengeance and have little time for anything else. Tanzut has hieroglyphics tattooed all over her body, and speaks very little. She is the battle master of her own Warg in the Amazon. She is possessed by an ancestor who was killed by the Followers of Set, and is now obsessed with wreaking vengance on the Kindred.
