Granite Watchtower

In the wake of the Pure assault that divided and nearly conquered the local Forsaken, a combination of resilient remaining werewolves and new arrivals from elsewhere formed this pack in response to the mayhem. So far their most notable feature is an overwhelming stubbornness. The Pack suffered a serious blow after their forray into Pute territory when two of the Ganz sisters left, forcing Firebringer to take the mantle of Alpha unto himself.

Members

Matthew Greene

Matthew Greene, bearing both 'Firebringer' and 'Godslayer' Deed names is one of the eldest and most powerful Forsaken of Sacramento. WHich is probably why he is one of the few to survive the massacre staged by the Anshega in 2013. That, and knowing when to pick his battles.

When the Pure attacked, it was sudden and extremely violent. The only thing to be concerned about was survival and members of the Granite Watchtower forged their bond in the wake of the carnage and Matthew was in many ways a catalyst. Firebringer is the only member of the old guard among the Pack and unlike the other wolves his hate for Anshega is deeply personal after what they did to his former Pack.

Matthew has declined the position of Alpha preferring to stay in the shadows and lead the Pack in battle as the most experienced combatant. It didn't work out though when the Ganz sisters left Sacramento so he's the one leading the Granite Watchtower.

Elaine Ganz

Elaine was the Alpha of the Granite Watchtower for some time. She is a strong and smart Storm Lord who hates alcohol and abusive behaviour. Not the one to back down or give up, she also posesses the common sense not to enter a fight without the necessary preparations. That, and being an experienced fighter, is why Elaine she was chosen. Later she proved a massive disappointment when she left town together to her sister. She is banned from Granite Watchtower lands by Firebringer.

Lilly Ganz

Elaine's younger sister, 'The Bouncy One' (let's hope it doesn't stick as a Deed name). The biggest mystery about Lilly is the mixture of a cheerful personality and passion about art and food that is completely befuddling in a Werewolf. Well, not the biggest. The biggest is how she stays in shape after cooking everything with ingridients having a billion calories in each of them.

If the Granite Watchtower had a normal structure, Lilly would probably be the much-cherished Omega. She left together with her sister and is currently banned from Granite Watchtower territoty.

Aeneas

An impulsive Hunter in Darkness surviving primarily on instinct, ability and luck, Aeneas is one of the more stealthy members of the Pack. He is the one who brought the Pack in touch with their Totem - Falcon the All-Seeing and he is also never satisfied with things being as they are, pushing the other members of the Pack to do more, be more and get into more trouble.

Peter Morgan

A relatively quiet Forsaken holding on to the job of a lawyer, Peter was likely to become the Pack's anchor in the Herd world after Sacramento would be won back. He also abandoned the pack and was branded an oath-breaker by Firebringer.

Daniel Turner

A stereotypical aggressive and arrogant Rahu Storm Lord in his first years as a wolf, Daniel has been significantly shaken by some profound catastrophe in his past, probably having something to do with where his former Pack is now. A soldier through-and-through he has learned the value of following orders and not underestimating the enemy the hard way. He is an important part of the Pack's combat power, a tracker and and expert on Spirits. At everything else - he fails miserably

The Totem

The Granite Watchtower Totem is Falcon the All-Seeing - a bird Spirit: fast, smart and helpful. The Pack rescued him from the webs of a colony of Spider Spirits living in the Hisil by striking a deal with carnivorous animals, leaving them and their human-eating habits in peace in exchange for getting a Totem.

The Den

At present the Pack members don't have a central Den which isn't surprising, seeing as Sacramento is still controlled by the Anshega.

The goals

The Granite Watchtower is all about resilience, survival, vigilance, preparing and waiting for the right moment to strike against the threats to their world. The primary threat right now are the Anshega and the time to push back is coming.
