Bale Hound (former Fire-Touched)

Description

Hishu

A tall, wiry man in his late-50s with burn scars covering the right half of his body, wild-looking pale blue eyes, and no body hair. He wears a loose flannel shirt, jeans, and heavy workboots. He smells terrible, like he’s slept in a dumpster, and his clothes are filthy. A beautiful silver dagger with a leather wrapped steel pommel and guard hangs from his belt in a leather sheath. On his right hand is a set of brass, iron, and bone rings resembling brass knuckles. Generally, he uses Skinner Masks to disguise himself when he needs to walk around in public, in full light, or get near Uratha.

Urhan

A lean wolf with small patches of white hair interspersed with extensive burn scars and pale blue eyes, foaming slightly at the mouth.

Storytelling Hints

Phillip is utterly insane. He blames the Forsaken not just for their historical crimes, but for the death of his pack and the loss of his own soul. He has vowed bloody revenge on the whole race and intends to use the powers he purchased at so dear a price to kill as many as possible before he dies. The Rite of Final Moonrise is his last resort. Despite giving himself to Soulless Wolf, he continues to observe the rites and traditions of the Fire-Touched in a mad, desperate way of keeping in touch with who he is and why he has chosen this path. He hates all Forsaken and shuns his own people, but will be hard-pressed to disobey one of the Pure with higher Purity. He especially wants to kill Jason, whom he blames more than any other for the death of his pack.

Background

Phillip was the youngest son of the founder of the Scandanavian Pure wolf-blooded line in the Castro. He was trained as a ritemaster and a warrior and did his father proud, possessed of a firm will and an utter dedication to tribe, lodge, and pack. He was instrumental in implementing the grand plan which resulted in the 1989 earthquake and when the Castro War started, he fought valiantly besides his brothers, cursing the name of the traitor Jason, his grandnephew. He slew several Forsaken, including Joshua’s mother Kim, but the toll of the war was heavy on him and his rites started to fail. He found it hard to enter the spirit world and draw Essence from the pack’s loci. The priests of Gurim whispered that he was beyond purification. When the Forsaken discovered the lair of his pack, he volunteered to perform the Rite of Scorched Earth to cleanse Hisil of their blasphemy and protect the locus entrance. He expected to die and all who witnessed thought that he did. However, he lived, burned and unconscious, and Beshilu allies discovered his body and took him away to their backup lair under Buena Vista Park, fleeing the destruction of their primary nest. When he awoke, wracked in pain and grief, a voice whispered in his ear from the wound and promised him power, vengeance, and salvation for his haggard soul. Weeping for his failure and the death of his pack and cursing the Forsaken and their allies, he gave his loyalty to Soulless Wolf. For the past seventeen years, he has been quietly biding his time, learning from the spirits of the wound, watching his enemies, and gathering his tools. He has created a number of powerful fetishes as well as recovering those of his fallen pack. Now, he is ready to strike, and no pack of the Tribes of the Moon is safe.
