Terdak Lingba is a Metis Theurge Stargazer former Master of the Rite of the Sept of the Snow Leopard.[1]
Biography[]
Sired by two Chinese Glass Walkers who arrived in Tibet with the first Chinese invaders, Terdak was abandoned to the Chinese orphanage in Tibet's capital city, Lhasa. Despite cruel treatment, Terdak excelled academically and might have gone to Beijing University if it hadn't been for his Firsting. His peers played a particularly cruel joke on him at age 14, and Terdak lashed out at them with all the ferocity of a Garou. Terrified, he fled into the mountains and wandered until he came to the attention of Lungtok.
He has thrived intellectually, if not emotionally, in the scholarly atmosphere of the monastery, and he is the youngest Leopard to become Master of the Rite. Next to Tara, he is the most adept at navigating the Crazy Umbra.
Appearance[]
A tall, lanky man of indeterminate age, Terdak is most often found updating the library's files. He wears an ill-fitting Chinese business suit (circa 1955) and uses a thick pair of reading glasses. During rituals, he wears a robe of green silk. In wolf form, he is gray and mangy. His hands and face twitch with nervous energy. His metis deformity is a terrible harelip.
