Biography


Isaac was literally born on the street. Forty
years ago, a cop found a squealing baby a handful of days old in
a dumpster in the East End. Nobody was ever able to identify
its mother. Today, Isaac disdains the use of any last name, since
it would be a lie. He spent his youth being shuttled from foster
home to orphanage to foster home. He was a violent, angry
child given to fits of almost homicidal rage. His stay at one
foster home ended when, at the age of five, he slashed his
“mother’s” arm with a kitchen knife when she tried to discipline
him.

Isaac’s Firsting came early. Through some kind of miscommunication,
the Kin Fetch assigned to him missed the event.

The Delirium took effect immediately, and his foster parents
at the time interpreted his actions as just another one of his
temper tantrums. (They conveniently overlooked the fact that
he had shapeshifted into a half-man half-beast.) They called
the police, and Isaac was whisked off again to juvenile hall.
The “extraction” team of Bone Gnawers eventually rescued
him from that location.

Despite a severe lack of education and an upbringing
traumatic enough to turn just about anyone into a self-absorbed
emotional cripple, Isaac turned out to be highly
intelligent and perceptive. Although at first he fought against
his indoctrination into the ways of the Garou, he eventually
understood what his Inceptors were trying to teach him. He
learned what his heritage truly meant. It was then that he
turned, seemingly overnight, from an incarnation of anger to
a thoughtful, introspective potential leader.

Most of the time, he lives up to that potential, but sometimes
his introspective nature must give way to rage. Rage is
still at Isaac’s core, as it is at the core of all Garou. While it takes
a lot to goad him to anger these days, Isaac is a manifestation
of an old truism: “Beware the fury of a patient man.”

Isaac won his position several years ago as leader of the
Underdogs Sept of the local Bone Gnawers. He didn’t achieve
this by challenge and personal combat, but by simply proving
that he was the best for the job. In fact, Isaac never sought the
position, but when something needed to be done, Isaac was
always at the forefront of doing it. That was enough to
convince his tribe-mates that he should lead them and represent
them on the council. There are some hints that Isaac is
tiring of his responsibility. Unfortunately, there is no obvious
candidate for his successor. This may destabilize the Underdogs
enough to diminish their efficiency as “Wyrm guards” at
the marinas and elsewhere.

Appearance and personality


Actually in his mid-4Os, Isaac looks more than a
decade older, worn down by the weight of the world. He’s a tall
man with broad shoulders, but his stooped posture conceals his
true size. His thinning, gray hair is usually matted with
substances it’s best not to think about, and his salt-and-pepper
beard looks as though it could support a sizable population of
rodents. He dresses in whatever he can find discarded in
garbage cans. Isaac will be wearing a different outfit every time
he’s seen. It might be a tattered suit, or a naval greatcoat or just
five or six T-shirts and a pair of ragged jeans. All in all, he looks
like hell and smells worse.

Patient, quiet and thoughtful, with a sense of barely repressed energy.
