Dio

Dio's mother was arguably one of the most talented Glasswalkers seattle has ever seen. She was a master of all types of technology, and seamlessly integrated new specialties as they emerged: she was always at the cutting edge and always worked to make sure the garou of Seattle had the best available tech at their disposal. She was so effective, in fact, that unknown enemies of the garou or the glasswalkers assassinated her about three years ago. Dio was already inheriting her role in the garou community when he was learning to walk. His toys as a kid were wrenches, nuts, and bolts, or computer scraps. By age ten he'd disassembled and reassembled an engine from scratch, and built large parts of the computer network at the caern (if there is one). As such, once he hit his teens, Dio was involved full scale in the maintenance of the caern/sept. Although he was in the dark about werewolves when he was young, his mother was very practically minded, and by the time of his first change he was already aware that mom and her friends/employers were, for the most part "different". Dio was raised by the sept and its kinfolk, in large part, and he has lived his entire life immersed in werewolf society. THis is not to say that he is out of touch with the world: unlike his mother, Dio's true love has always been action and activity. During his free time, Dio is always out and about, exploring, experiencing, and getting his knowledge with a very hands on approach. as a young teenager, Dio started going out a lot with sept members, much to his mother's chagrin. He also began teaching himself how to use computers beyond just servicing them, and to teach himself how to drive ("test drives" of vehicles he was supposed to fix).
Of course, things changed quite a bit when his mother died. Dio was devastated. In addition to the increased need in the caern for Dio's abilities, Dio also focused more on his mechanical/electrical skills because it was a way for him to be close to the memory of his mother. But in addition, the death of his mother was the end of childhood for dio. He was no longer content to sit on the sidelines: Dio began volunteering for active, dangerous jobs and missions whenever he got the chance. Over the past three years, Dio has spent considerable time on the front lines, where, despite the fact that he is not a huge or powerful werewolf, his cleverness and speed, as well as his skill with tech, have constantly come in handy. Dio's support skills continue to improve, and he remains responsible for much of the caerns' maintenance, but his style of work has begun to take on a much stronger "jury rig" feel, with an emphasis on ease of repair in the field, ruggedness, and easy access to spares, as opposed to the very clean work his mother was famous for. Still, it gets the job done, and the fact that dio can do most of his work in the field is making him more and more in demand for all sorts of missions.
in his free time, Dio still loves tearing through the streets, although now it often behind the wheel of a car and not just on foot (although this is still his favorite method of travel): Dio says it helps clear his mind, but the truth may just be that the exhiliration allows him to get away from the rest of his life.

Dio is well respected by most of the sept members who don't inherently dislike technology. Like his mother, he has a tolerant and accomodating attitude towards most other Garou and Kinfolk, and he tends to place less stock in protecting his own reputation/honor than most, which makes it easier for him to avoid conflict. Dio will always go out of his way to help other kinfolk or garou.
