Lingering Fangs

**Lingering Fangs** is an old Silver Fang Ragabash who usually strolls around in his Lupus form. He is a so called 'Treasure', which means he is born over 3000 years ago. While he lives up to his auspice, this trickster isn't known for lying or pranks in bad faith.
Lately he vanished from the sept and wasn't seen there since. It is said that he chose to life alone in the forest.

## **Training**

* Baker
* Freethinker
* Spy

First and foremost, Lingering Fangs sees himself as a baker. The baking aside, the story of his life gave him insight and gull so he is a freethinker and speaker as his auspice commands. Lastly he is a spy. Sometimes a stealthy thief and burglar and sometimes a mole in dangerous company.

Those are Lingering Fangs core competencies and that's what he like to do.

Lingering Fangs was born over 3000 years ago on the continent of today's Europe and Asia.

He was born in a nomadic tribe that featured Garou and their wolf Kinfolk. A few Kinfolk humans camped and moved with them but since the tribe never was in place for a long time it wasn’t that much. Because of the changing members of the tribe Lingering Fangs doesn't know who his parents were. Raising cubs was quite the communal affair.

After his first change with 2 years of age the Ragabash was a rascal and really wild. He lied, stole, insulted and ran away. Of course, he got punished. But after a little grovelling from his side and the elders thinking of him as a cub the punishment wasn't that severe.

A few years later he chose his first tool of trade: baking bread. This was quite unusual. Why would a Lupus choose to learn how to bake bread instead of scouting or herding? The reason was an easy one: Lingering Fangs - a rebel at heart - only choose to learn baking because it confuses so much people. He even was okay with changing in Homid form to bake. Also, he got quite good at baking and his bread was known to be one of the best in the area.

Even after learning a trade, Lingering Fangs’ behaviour got worse. He was untameable. So, he had to join the 'Sun's Gaze', a mixed pack of young misfits under the strong and intimidating Bright Gaze. Bright Gaze, who just wanted to restore his honour, wasn't happy with Lingering Fangs but with time they learned to understand each other. That's when Lingering Fangs started to think freely, leaving the ties of tradition behind himself. As a result, his behaviour changed.

Between their pack missions, Lingering Fangs helped raising the kids. Playing with them, teaching them, especially the Metis kids that were more difficult to interact with. The chattering of the others didn't bother him anymore and it turned out, that he had a way with children.

Years passed in adventure and thrill until Sun's Gaze met their demise: Moon-bursts, the Wyrm infected Gurahl. The pack tried to fight her but she was to strong. In a last effort, Lingering Fangs stroked an unfortunate deal with a spirit to kill her but he was greatly injured and all the others died, including his Alpha and best friend.

After bringing the spirits to peace and burning the corpses, Lingering Fangs returned to the tribe with a chunk of Moon-bursts pelt, cleansed of the Wyrm. He got to keep it and wasn't seen without it ever since.

In his grief about his pack, Lingering Fangs took on a bigger role in raising and teaching he young ones. Not just those of the tribe, but all sorts of children. Even regular human ones. It was nice, but it could not satisfy him. He got indifferent of his life and learned how to successful infiltrate other tribes. Sneaking and stealing was just bonus skills along the way. He had nothing to lose. Except for that Metis kid and that disabled human kid. He loved those two which was why he stayed at his tribe instead of wandering off.

A few years later he was called by Elders of another tribe of the same House. They tasked him to go to sleep in a grave in the umbra to aid during the Apocalypse when the time shall come. Lingering Fangs was still indifferent but he had nothing better to do, so he walked off into the Umbra. His last memory is him looking a final time at the two children who walked with another group into their death while a Golden Eagle sat on an archway of stone and a ghostly fawn pressed its head against Fangs’ shoulder.

His old life ended, another would begin.

Lingering Fangs just hoped that the people in the future would still enjoy good bread.

* Items

This Fetish is bound to Lingering Fangs. It is worn in Human and Lupus Form. In Hispo, Glabro and Crinos, the Hide ‘melts’ with Lingering Fangs body and can be only be seen as a fur pattern. It also hides Lingering Fangs scars. The hide is from a Gurahl named Moon-bursts and no one knows what this fetish exactly can do. Except for Lingering Fangs that is. He knows.

When worn, Lingering Fangs can understand and talk to spirits.
This Fetish is also bound to Lingering Fangs and is only worn in Human and Lupus Form.
In Hispo, Glabro and Crinos the Necklace can be only seen as small stripe on Lingering Fangs fur.

This might be a Servant of Deah. While Lingering Fangs was very sure about the Gaffeling's association in the beginning, he doubt it now. He has no clue what this spirit is.

While Lingering Fangs isn't sure, if the fawn here is actually real or not, he knows that it was real 3000 years ago. The fawn was his companion and emotional support spirit of some sorts. They used to have long talks or no one speaking at all content with their existence. Since Lingering Fangs misses his fawn so much it might just be imagination.

Some of the colour is chipped of and the wooden piece looks old and used a lot. It's one of the center pieces of a game of Nine men's morris, Lingering Fangs played with Cormac Fleet-Foot a few nights before his death. Cormac won that game with this white stone.

This bottle looks old and worn of with still clear glass. It's one of the bottles Lingering Fangs shared with Phobos Makes-the-Foe-Flee before his death. Originally Fangs had just stolen important plans from him for Tongue of Silver and wanted to check in if he had get cought. It ended with drinking and deep talking through a whole night.

After Lingering Fangs announced to leave the sept to look for the old Caern, the Eagle's Talons gifted him this outfit. It's the only outfit Fangs actually likes to wear in homid form.
