Garou Packs of the Colorado Springs-Hidden Glade area

Garou Packs

One of the aspects that make Garou so dangerous is their relationship with their pack members, their closest family, closer than even blood kin. Packs can sometimes be temporary, but more often than not, persist on until their are too few members left to properly function. These packs are bound together by spirit totems, and often have some sort of goal they work towards. These goals may be as broad and unreachable as, "Free The Wyrm from The Weaver's Bonds" or as short-term as "Raid the nightclub and kill all the bloodsucking leeches." These are the known packs of the Colorado Springs - Hidden Glade region.

The Union Street Goodfellows

Bound together by Mother Rat, these Garou are viewed with more disdain than most other Bone Gnawers, for they are known to have abandoned their duty to Gaia, and have instead dedicated themselves to helping the poor and downtrodden of Colorado Springs.

The Goodfellows see things differently, believing that every person they give shelter and aid too, is one less soul for the Wyrm to infest.

• Grandfather Hank "Silvertorn" Beasly- (Homid, Philodox, Bone Gnawer, Elder) - A small white man with a slight stoop, he is mostly bald with tufts of white hair sticking out from under his blue beanie. He wears a heavy blue & black plaid jacket, a large maroon scarf wrapped around his neck many times, and dirty mustard-yellow corduroy pants. He speaks with a raspy voice, often interrupted by a hacking cough. He is a mild Garou, often letting others of lesser rank order him around with a minimum of grumbling or shame.
• Kato "Hard-Bargain" Lin- (Homid, Philodox, Bone Gnawer, Athro)- A young Asian-American male in his early 20s, Kato has black hair, dark slanted eyes, and light yellow skin typical of his heritage. If not for the company he keeps, he might not be immediately recognized as a Bone Gnawer. His clothing is fairly clean, his odor kept in check, and he has a certain respectable manner about him. Usually seen in a plain black shirt with a denim jacket and a Colorado Rockies ballcap, he always carries a baseball bat with him, with the words "Rent Collector" on it.
• Cara "Takes-What-She-Wants"- (Metis, Ragabash, Bone Gnawer, Fostern)- A rather eerie looking girl of African descent, she has filthy shoulder-length dreadlocks, a smattering of discolored freckles across her ebony face, and a mouth full of rotting teeth. Her nails are also noticeable in that they are long, yellow and brittle looking. She wears an oversized tshirt with the word "Valdeez" written on it in yellow writing, beneath a black frock coat and grimy blue jeans that have several patches sewn onto them. Cara speaks little to those outside her pack, but often stares at others with a creepy look in her eye.
• Stan "Piano-Chucker" Hebowitz- (Metis, Ahroun, Bone Gnawer, Fostern)- The most striking member of the Goodfellows, Piano-Chucker stands at just an inch over 7 feet tall, with the muscle mass of a professional boxer. He has a complete lack of hair, even eyebrows, and nearly every inch of flesh from the beck down is decorated in tattoos. He has numerous piercing around his eyes, nose, chin, and lip. His clothing is a brown t-shirt with the Anarchist symbol, grungy blue jeans, and a pair of gray steel-tipped boots. Despite his bizarre appearance, Stan is friendly and forgiving, if not more than a little bit dumb.
•  Javier "Miscellaneous Parts" Santos- (Homid, Galliard, Bone Gnawer, Fostern)- A short Mexican man, Javier speaks with a thick accent. He is pudgier than most Garou. He wears an old shirt beneath greased stained overalls with a name patch of "Sal" sewn into them. The pockets are filled with tools and small metal parts. Javier is very friendly, and seems to ignore most insults thrown his way and is eager to share his mechanical knowledge of cars and heavy machinery with others.
• Richard "Clobbers-The-Bane-To-Death"- (Homid, Ahroun, Bone Gnawer, Adren)- Thickly built, this 30-something male has perpetual black rings beneath his eyes, a long mop of black hair, and a very thick full beard. His fists are the size of boston hams, and his hands show years of hard work with built up callouses. He wears a dark green rain slicker jacket, and black denim jeans with a pair of old black boots. Richard is extremely quiet, and seems to take in much more than he puts out for others to hear.
• Eddie "Purse Snatcher" Simmons-(Homid, Ragabash, Bone Gnawer, Cliath) - Young by human standards, Eddie is just 17 years old, and still displays the hallmark traits of a teenage youth. He is rude and disrespectful to those not of his pack. His head is shaved on the sides, leaving one patch of greasy hair down the middle that ends in a ponytail. He wears a ratty looking pleather jacket, with a black t-shirt featuring the picture of a heavy metal death band. His eyes are slightly squinted, his nose pointed and his mouth just a little too small for his face, giving him the vague appearance of a rat.
• Lando "Lands-On-The-Wyrm"- (Metis, Ahroun, Bone Gnawer, Fostern)- A light-skinned black male in his early 20s, he has a muscular physique, a frohawk dyed a dingy shade of yellow, and brown eyes. Despite the cold weather of Colorado Springs, he is usually seen wearing just a black wife-beater and stained cargo shirts with black sneaker shoes. Most times, he is set apart from his pack, and his interaction with non-Bone Gnawers is usually limited to hostile, challenging remarks.
• Kristy Sherman-(Homid, Philodox, Bone Gnawer, Cub)- A young girl of just 15, Kristy has clearly not been traveling with the Bone Gnawers long, as she still maintains grooming habits. She has bright blue eyes, long blonde hair that spills out from under he pink knit beanie, and wears a matching pink winter jacket. She has an infectious smile, full of hope, and a bubbly personality

Goldrinn's Biters

Followers of Lion, a totem of respect, Goldrinn's Biters has earned a reputation as some of the fiercest Garou in the Northwest region. Their pack is dedicated to hunting down and slaying Black Spiral Dancers. They have played pivotal roles in the destruction of five hives, but often at great costs; the pack is known to have a high turn-over rate, having lost nine members since it's creation.

• Henry "Spear-Through-The-Center-Of-The-Spiral" Argonaught - (Homid,Ahroun,Get of Fenris, Athro)- A grizzled man of fifty, he has white hair buzzed short, with several bare spots around his skull from battlescars. He wears a thick blue workman's shirt and a red & black plaid jacket-vest, which strains to conceal his chiseled form. A bold tribal tattoo of the Fenrir glyph is displayed on his right shoulder in all forms, but surrounding the marking are a number of skin discolorations, more signs of hard fought battles. He is the last surviving member of the original pack, and jokingly calls himself the next to go. Despite his fierce appearance, he is very genial.
• "Calm Streams, Rushing River- (Lupus, Theurge, Child of Gaia, Adren)- Beautiful by any standard of the word, this feminine wolf has a sleek pelt of shimmering silvers, grays and whites. She carries herself with a certain calm and grace unusual to Garou. Perhaps it is her pedigree, or some sort of spiritual effect, but she seems to radiate a sense of calmness wherever she goes.
• Jabari "Tendon-Slicer" Baioumi- (Homid, Ragabash, Silent Strider, Adren)- Small, thin and somewhat fragile looking, this dark-skinned Egyptian boy is the youngest of the pack, perhaps only as old as seventeen. He has a tangled mess of dark brown hair and deep brown eyes. He dresses in a plain brown t-shirt and jeans, and carries a tote bag with him. A silver dagger hangs from his belt, his signature weapon.
• Curtis "Greets-The-Wyrm-With-A-Grin"Holiday- (Homid, Ragabash, Get of Fenris, Adren)- A wiry man in his late 30s, he has pale skin, a shaved head and a thick mustache. He wears a trucker cap, and usually wears aviator glasses, to hide his very noticeable lupine eyes. He wears a light camo jacket over a dark green shirt, and camo fatigues. He is always toting around his duffel bag, loaded with a variety of guns. Curtis has a strange way about turning all conversation into ones about government conspiracies, U.F.O. theories, and other bizarre ideas.  
• Alvin "Leaves-No-Survivors" Sheffield- (Homid, Ahroun, Fianna, Cliath)- A young man of 20, Alvin has a wild tangle of red hair, a pale complexion, and green eyes with a wide smile. Alvin is a man of excess, reveling in "booze, battle, and babes" as he says. He wears a thick garnet sweater, and heavy denim jeans.
• Skadi "Songs-Of-The-Snowy-Peaks" Poulssen- (Homid, Ahroun, Get of Fenris, Cliath)- A stunningly beautiful woman of pure Get pedigree, Skadi is the living embodiment of the wild and untamed Fenrir. She has platinum hair in a long, thick braid down to her back, and her eyes are an icy blue. Her facial features are those found on a Scandinavian model, and her body is perfectly toned for combat. Her voice is that of an angel, and she is fond of singing ancient songs in the midst of battle. 

The Winds of Change
Guided by a strange and enigmatic wind spirit of which they share little information about, The Winds of Change Pack is dedicated to seeking out unknown places belonging to the Wyld and harnessing them to aid the Gaian cause.

• Sheila "Won't-Back-Down" Winters- (Homid, Galliard, Black Fury, Adren)- A striking and intense woman, she has piercing green eyes and coal-black hair down to her shoulders. Her skin tone is slightly olive in color, and her body is toned like that of an Amazonian of lore. She wears a black sports bra, and khaki capris, and carries a klaive marked with the Black Fury glyph. Sheila carries herself with a surety that often puts her in an alpha position, without needing the acknowledgment of others; Garou seem to fall in line and accept her as leader.
   
• Matteo "Old Steady Hands"- (Homid, Philodox, Shadow Lord, Athro)- Tall and thin in homid form, Matteo is very pale with a pencil mustache, and solid wavy black hair. He remains calm even in the most stressful situations, and has an aura about him that spreads that calmness to others. He wears a black turtleneck, and black jeans with black industrial boots.
• Never-Breaks-A-Pact, Never-Forgets-A-Grudge, a.k.a NeverNever- (Lupus, Theurge, Black Fury, Adren)- A mottled and gray and grown wolf, she seems to be hardly paying attention to the world around her, as if her mind drifts elsewhere. She frequently seems to be communicating with those who are not present, never bothering to answer questions as to who she is speaking with.
• Latonya "Splinters-The-Rotting-Oak" Jackson- (Homid, Theurge, Shadow Lord, Adren)- A husky black woman, of about 30, Latonya is the least approachable member by far. She has a condescending tone that make others want to avoid her when possible. She wears a ladie's leather jacket over a black sweater and a pair of blue jeans. Her earrings are large golden hoops with the letters "Latonya" between the circles.
  

The Goat-Getters
A motley crew of young Garou who follow, of all possible totems, Goat, these Garou have a strong rebellious streak in them, possibly as a reflection of their totem's stubborn nature. They display a cavalier attitude towards many of the traditions of the Garou, and only pay lip service to the Litany. However, they seem whole-heartily dedicated to protecting Gaia, and fighting the Wyrm.

• Alan "Totem-Picker" Hoofs-(Metis, Galliard, Bone Gnawer, Cliath)- Dressed as a bright-eyed youth still in his teens, Alan remains baby-faced with a mop of brown hair beneath a baseball cap. His t-shirts are slightly too large for him, and his baggy jeans are held in support by a frayed belt, which help to hide his birth deformity, a pair of rather large goat hooves where feet should be. Alan is quite well-versed in Garou lore, having grown up within a proper sept during his childhood, and his fellow young pack members happily follow his lead.
  
• Christian "Heart-on-Fire" Radcliff- (Homid, Philodox, Child of Gaia, Cliath)-In his mid 20s, Christian has a ponytail of jet-black hair, wears a pair of glasses that shift with him in all forms, and an average build. He dresses casually, favoring simple pants and plain t-shirts with a leather vest. He is perhaps the most quiet of his rowdy pack, and seems to spend much of his time reading books covering a range of occult topics, usually about his Wiccan faith.
  
•  Zoey "Makes-Boys-Cry"- (Homid, Ahroun, Black Fury, Cliath)- Short, toned, and tanned, Zoey is a native-born Australian who migrated to America. She has a main of brown hair, and is more than capable and willing to hold her own in a fight with other Garou, especially males, whom she seems to enjoy challenging
  
• Jeremiah "Spiritstorm" Shepherd- (Homid, Theurge, Silent Strider, Cliath)- A good-looking young man with wavy sandy brown hair and a wide smile. He has one light green eye, and the other is a strange, somewhat milky-color, although it seems to be fully functional. Jeremiah prefers to wear solid colored earth-colored shirts beneath his tan duster. He carries with him a gnarled walking stick, which has the symbol of the Silent Striders carved into it near the base. 

• . "Amber-Eyes-Piercing-Deception"- (Lupus, Ragabash, Uktena, Cliahth)- A mahogany colored wolf with appropriately colored eyes, this she-wolf appears as a young Mexican woman wearing a pink longskirt, and white-button up western shirt decorated with embroidered flowers. She seems to have adapted remarkably well to posing as a human when the need arises.
