Ivory Claw (Lodge of the Feast)

Oliver is Rose's father and first cousin to Edward and Walter. He is married to Rose and has two other children: Jackie (22) and Bernard (14). He is in charge of the human affairs of the pack and his head of security for the family business.

Description

Hishu

A tall, slender Caucasian man in his late 40s with short reddish-brown hair, gray eyes, and pale skin. He wears white silk shirt, black wool slacks, and western boots. When outdoors, he wears a black leather trenchcoat and fedora. He has several puckered gunshot scars on his chest and abdomen and is missing the pinky on his heavy scarred right hand. He wears his wedding ring on his left.

Urhan

A long, skinny reddish-brown wolf with a white mark on its chest.

Storytelling Hints

Oliver is a hard, practical man. He has the body language of a cop but with an air of heightened menace. He is dedicated to his family and loyal to its leader, but would not hesitant to kill either of his daughters for the family spirit. He would see it as a sign of his strength and feels it would help put him in a position to challenge Edward as beta.

Combat

Background

Oliver wanted to be a cop since he was a boy. He made it through the academy with flying colors and was a sworn officer for three years when he began to show signs of First Change. The instability and shift in temperament cost him his job, but his new alpha convinced him that his new job was just like his old, but more honorable and suited to his status as a ruler of humans. It took some adjustment, but he soon proved invaluable to the pack and to the family as head of security for the firm. He is the pack's primary troubleshooter, using human security personnel and wolf-blooded staff to get the job done when he can, acting as liaison for the pack when the affair is strictly Uratha-related. He is loyal to the family and the company but prone to be a bit paranoid about others. He has been responsible for a number of deaths when he felt people knew too much about the family, but is adept at cleaning up after himself. He is also the one who killed Irene Lamberti's husband and is well known to her pack.
