Underdog

There's a whisper of a rumor, among certain in-the-know bums in Seattle, that in the old Underground lives a monster - a huge, snarling, misshapen man-dog of a thing. They say that if you leave fresh food for it, you can travel through the oldest parts of the city unmolested. Some even say it comes up from the underground during the full moon, to winnow the wicked from the greater downtown area!

The Garou of Seattle have a different story. They say a pathetic, starving metis lives down there, who can barely get enough food for himself. The Bone Gnawers he associates with call him Ghandi. Everyone else just stays away. Some whisper that he resembles more of a hyena than a wolf, and that he's tainted by the Wyrm.

Age: 22 Hair: Black-and-grey-and-brown

Metis Deformity: Emaciated. Either through some spiritual curse or a malformed metabolism, Underdog can only gain the barest sustenance from his food. As a result, he looks skeletal and odd, and is prone to uncontrolled fits of shaking. He adds one to the difficulty of Intimidate tests against other Garou, and adds one to the difficulty of Stamina rolls.

Physical Description: In his native Crinos, Underdog hunches over, his long arms nearly dragging on the ground. His features are closer to hyena than wolf, with large round ears and a short snout. He is thin to the point of skeletal, and his hands and feet seem oddly out of proportion as a result. In "wolf" form, he resembles a large, starving, African Painted Dog, with a mottled, stained, and dirty coat. As a human, he's about 6'3", possibly 130 pounds. He looks of Indian descent, and has shaggy, dirty hair and a similar beard.

History: Abandoned in the Seattle Underground as an infant, Underdog was raised by Petey and his gang in the Murkwood Caern. During his childhood, he developed a strong bond with Pipeline, the sept's other Metis. As he grew older, his relationship with Mary Bone-Snapper, who perhaps knew more of his parents' fate than he did, devolved into outright antagonism. Just after his First Change, an overenthusiastic scolding from Mary triggered a Frenzy in Underdog, and a vicious fight ensued. Rather than face the shame of what he'd done, and to spare Petey the hassle of standing up for him, he left. He hopped on the Moonbridge, hoping for the best, expecting the worst.
