Description

Hishu

An emaciated Black man in his early 40s with very short black hair, dark eyes, and medium dark skin. He wears a dark suit and tie, starched shirt, and shined black shoes, which combined with his appearance give him the look of a mortician. When he needs his fetish, he carries a worn navy blue backpack.

Urhan

A dark grey wolf with white feet and tail tip. Using Anybeast, he is a brindle pit bull.

Storytelling Hints

Aaron is a grim, surly, and violent man who hates anyone who has more than he does. As such, he resents his alpha and wants to take his place. They spar constantly and he rejects the view that he is any more immoral than the rest of the pack, believing instead that he does the difficult work that the others are too weak to do. He tends to condescend to the female members of the pack, which has led to a couple tussles with Margery over the years.

Background

Aaron Pierce was a homeless drug user who ended up coming in contact with the church when his third friend died of AIDS. He reevaluated his life, joined them, and turned himself around. Unbeknownst to him, his father was a Predator King who had raped his mother when she was still living in Bayview. When his First Change came on him late in life, the pack took him below and initiated him into the inner mysteries of the church. At first, it horrified him, but they wore him down and were able to appeal, in the end, to his sense of entitlement and need to believe everything had purpose. However, he hasn’t proven as stable as the others, wallowing in the violence as a way of drowning out his own pain and doubts. His street contacts have led to his role as the spy, investigator, and even assassin for the pack. He keeps the church goers in line and deals with the nosy, concerned family members, and siblings who have second thoughts.
