Iron Master Cahalith Alpha (Lodge of the Endless Moon, Lodge of Scrolls)

John is Yin's brother-in-law and Susie's uncle.

Description

A tall, well-built Chinese man in his early-50s with wire-rimmed glasses, short dark hair, and blue eyes (from a British grandfather). He wears a tweed jacket, starched white shirts, grey slacks, and leather shoes. He wears a small amulet of a dragon holding a jade sphere (Fortune Stone). John radiates authority and is firm, issuing commands instead of requests, in a manner many might find grating.

Storytelling Hints

John is utterly dedicated to his lodge, even more so than his tribe or the protectorate, though he takes him from his duties to see to his territory. He takes a very hands-on approach, making ties with the local businesses and police. He is very involved in the community and well known to residents of New Chinatown. His personal life is spare. He is in love with his sister-in-law, but has never acted on it, and is aware she reciprocates. He is very fond of his niece, who he treats like a daughter, and is good friends with his ritemaster Eric. The pack is generally tight with a firm sense of purpose.
