Guy Clary

From Gothpoodle

Fire-Touched Alpha (Lodge of Fevered Light)

Description

Hishu

A tall, remarkably handsome, and clean-shaven Caucasian man with a distinguished air who looks to be in his 50s (actually early 60s) with white hair, vivid blue eyes, and light skin. He wears a light blue cotton shirt, jeans, and sneakers. When outside, he adds a dark grey trenchcoat and fedora. He has an intensity about him that can be threatening or seductive, depending on his posture, but it is hard to take your eyes off of him when he's in the room.

Urhan

A white wolf with bright blue eyes. When using Anybeast, he appears to be a shaggy white sheepdog.

Storytelling Hints

Guy is intensely charismatic and wears his faith on his sleeve. He rarely lies but is adept at manipulative logic and has converted several Forsaken kin to their cause over the years. He is very protective of his pack, treating them as a loved family, and would hate to see them harmed. He relies particularly on Chucho and Dai as his left and right hands, Dai taking care of operational matters and Chucho dealing with the physical. He feels pity for the Forsaken but not hatred. He would always prefer to convert than to kill, but accepts the neccessity of the latter. For his fanaticism, he comes off as merely remarkably sincere and honest.

Background

Guy's father, a sailor of a weak French wolf-blooded line, left to fight in World War 2 before he was born and died overseas after undergoing First Change on the battlefield. His mother struggled and eventually took up prostitution to make ends meet. They lived in abject poverty with Guy dropping out of school at a young age to work until they found some assistance from the Church of the Lighthouse. By the time he Changed, the awkward, shy, and perpetually underfed boy had developed into a charismatic young man with the assistance of the Church helping him to find his confidence and self-worth. He found strength in his suffering and has easily inducted into the Fire-Touched. In only ten years, he had become alpha of the Keepers of the First Flame with little opposition. In the early 80s, he was approached by the Hellstroms with a plan to recreate the devastation of 1906 by channeling the fear-tainted Essence of the city's gay community in the wake of AIDS towards waking the Big One. They had already approached the Mountain-Walkers, who were receptive, and Guy agreed to add his pack's resources, including their alliance with the Great Fire, who lay dormant in their locus. During the Castro War, the pack was humiliated by the summoning and binding of their powerful ally, but Guy's capable leadership kept them from losing any members. In the aftermath, he sought any means he could to discover the location of the shackled spirit, to little avail. This year, however, he saw it in a dream and, carefully searching, discovered that his vision was correct. He is a careful and cautious leader, but is willing to stake everything on getting the Great Fire loose, in order to erase his one great failure as a leader. He has spent the years grooming Polly Floyd to act as a vessel for the spirit so that it can't be bound again and looks forward to when they can set the city to burn and help rebuild it from the ground up in their image.
