Francesco Abandonato
Sobriquet: Director Abandonato
Appearance: Francesco is a lupus Garou. In human form, he looks like an elderly Hispanic man of aristocratic descent. His gray hair is receding, and his sun-burned face is heavily wrinkled. Now in his middle sixties, Francesco has a few Gin-blossoms and is an obvious sufferer of skin-cancer. He has a thick, beak like nose and hard green eyes that seem to burn with anger. An all other forms, his green eyes glow with a hellish light and his fur is patchy, and smeared with toxic residue.
Behavior:
History: Some among his adopted tribe, the Black Spiral Dancers, believe he is a Silver Fang by birth, but the truth may never be known. Abandoned to the whims of the elements by his mother, Francesco survived feral and alone for most of his youth. Then came his First Change. Alone and unguided, he learned to control and even master his changing forms through sheer will.
After a time, Francesco chanced upon a Silver Fang Rite of Passage ceremony. He watched as the other cubs were put through extremely difficult and dangerous trials. By mimicking the cubs step-sideways, Francesco discovered how to negotiate the Gauntlet. But Banes awaited on the other side, slaughtering most of the Silver Fang cubs. Francesco fled back to the material world.
At the end of the rite, one cub, the son of a great lord, returned alive. Francesco, proud that he had also survived, even by fleeing, walked into the middle of the ceremony and said, "I, too, have survived the passage. I, too, killed the bad ones". The Silver Fangs looked in awe upon this strange cub who bore the marks of high breeding. But the other cub, angered at this rival, challenged Francesco.
As the two readied to fight, a tribal elder, the teacher of the young cubs, stepped forth. "This new cub is of noble birth. Tell us from which tribe and family you come." To this, Francesco could not reply. "At least tell us the name of your mother, and I will allow you to fight." Francesco said, "I was abandoned at birth; I have neither name nor tribe." This caused a great stir among the assemblage. The rival cub stepped forward and exclaimed, "Go! It is not your place to challenge me, tribeless wanderer!" Shunned, Francesco left the moot with great bitterness. He swore a terrible oath that night: "One day, he would enact vengeance on all Garou."
