Aggressive. Insular. Brutal. Relentless.
There is little doubt of what reputation preceeds the Eagle's amongst Chicago's Sept. They never hold back - even against each other. Maybe it's the unrestrained hostility that makes them such a tight-knit pack; fending off outsiders with a wall of talon and fang. Maybe the War's consumed them to the point of leaving no other choice. Nobody's had the guts to ask them..... nobody would get an answer anyway. Eagle's are a war pack that take care of their own. Gaia help those that dare cross them.
No excuses. No regrets. No mercy.
Silence
Decker Rohl - Adren Modi - Alpha
Grey ghost, white lightning, dark storm rising on the horizon. You'd think packing up with a bunch of Get would drive James over the edge. And maybe it has since he seems to spend more time around the brooding Modi than anybody, these days..... course. Someone has to play PR guy for silent and deadly or the social disasters would never end. How they both ended up on the Elder Council in Chicago James will never know. Somehow, Decker holds the title of being the guttermutt's oldest friend, too. Probably another thing never understood..... or maybe just never questioned to begin with.
Truth In Frenzy
Kemp Oates - Cliath Rotagar
Youngest of the Eagles, but the kid's got balls brassy as the rest of 'em. Probably because his Rite of Passage was more of a Trial by Fire. But he's survived it. So far. Makes up his inexperience by more than a fare share of iron-willed courage. James is proud to stand beside the youngster in battle.
Hyde Three-Fingers
Cliath Godi
The hell is with the pack's spirit talkers suddenly disappearing..... ? Just like Bramble the Godi up and vanished with the spirits one day not long after Chicago's Caern awoke. Seemed a real shame, too, as James thought he had a good heart even if their contact had been rare. Must have been well over eighteen months passing before the Fenrir showed up again just as suddenly as he'd left.
Ruhiger
AnneMarie Hoch - Cliath Modi
"Bitter Grace" ousted Kemp from his place as pack Omega, much to the Rotagar's delight. She joined while James was away for five months defending his home Sept in Albany, so he doesn't even know her beyond a familiar face at Chicago's Moots.... it won't matter though. When the battle comes, she'll prove herself or join too many others the Eagles have buried.
Missing In ActionCaidanieve
Rune - Fostern Glass Walker Ahroun
Things got complicated with Rune - real complicated - and James wouldn't have changed it for the world. Nothing stranger and more perfect than the raggedy guttermutt and sleek serpentwolf that had no idea how good they were for each other. Her year-long absence nearly killed him, reunion bittersweet for all the things that changed during those ragged months. They never had the chance to realize if the changes were too much. She's gone again.
Family TiesImogen Slaughter
Fenrir Kin - Forensic Pathologist, Medical Examiner for Cook County
Probably the most infuriating woman James has ever had the pleasure and misfortune of knowing - likely that is the very reason they work so well together as partners in crime. There's a certain understanding between himself and the good Doctor. One of those things best left unsaid. Especially around her mate. Nevertheless, James considers Imogen a part of the pack. He'll go through hell and high water without a second thought to make sure she sees tomorrow and Decker's got someone to come home to. Even if it means James may not come home instead.
Tristan Stern
Bone Gnawer Kin - Street Violinist
Brother.
Dustin
Bone Gnawer Kin - Artist
Tristan's military boy.
Rumor
Bone Gnawer Kin - Street Punk
Annalia Branson
Bone Gnawer Kin - Rainbow Brite Club Kid
Her family's from the Bronx, and seems she's some relatives up from Albany way, too. Now it's a matter of figuring out just how that kin is related to this Elder. And whether or not that's a good thing....
Dead and Gone
Dire Warning
Cliath Skald
James didn't like nor trust like the metis from the start... and now that he's gone? Good riddance.
Livingston Bramble
Cliath Glass Walker Theurge
Take Bob Marley, give him a whopping case of the munchies and the mysticism of Buddha, squish it all into the body of a Theurge - and you have Bramble. Probably the only one in the pack aside from James that has what remotely resembles a sense of humor. Don't piss him off, though, or you'll find yourself with a wicked affliction of some seriously nasty mojo. Seems he floated off somewhere with the bluntling!.
Strikes The Heart
Lucian Rousseau - Cliath Skald
Some bad blood spilled between James and Luc over a bitchy kinfolk broad back in Jersey. The fact it nearly cost James his life is the smallest of the wounds lingering from that altercation. They haven't seen each other since.
Street King
Tucker Riley - Cliath Silver Fang Ahroun
Probably the first Fang James ever liked. Too bad his stupidity and lack of control got him kicked out of the pack. Moved on to become Alpha of another pack in Chicago - but it doesn't seem like he's learned to control his manners any. Quite the sensitive point for him and James. Took months for them to find some sort of closure for past greivances and level out a reasonably mutual understanding - then, true to form, seems the Street King crossed someone he shouldn't and lives on only in memory.
Fierce Hammer
Lars Drammenstein - Cliath Forseti
Born and bred true Get, right down to the hard as granite center. James liked him even if he didn't know him well. Killed in battle raising the Caern in Chicago.
Angel With The Scabbed Wings
Danah - Cliath Glass Walker Galliard
The bad karma started even before James officially met the industrial bitch, and then she wanted into the pack. James doesn't know where his trust lay with her, but he said he'd give her the fair chance to prove worthy of Eagle's grace. Ball was in her court. He'd bite his tongue until verdict turned. She exited the picture as suddenly as she came, it seemed, must have been called off for some other Glorious thing in some other Blasphemous city. Or something. James wasn't exactly going to worry about it.
Snake
Malory Rohl - Cliath Godi
Decker's blood - they couldn't deny each other if they tried. She even parked her trailer out back of the pack's factory base. Hard as nails and even showed the potential for a sense of humor. Who else would find it amusing one introductory handshake was actually her hands shoving his guts back into place the morning after the Pyrell strike? Too bad she was pulled to some other path, one day, her trailer gone before she had the chance to join the Eagle's ranks.
The Blood Eagle
Erik Jonsen - Fostern Rotagar - Former Alpha
Things used to be summed up in one word: Trust. Then Erik got himself trapped in the Atrocity Realm and spent a little too much time down in the midnight sea. Somewhere along the way maybe Ol' Ugly figured out his battle was being fought someplace else, and come September '04 - he left the pack. James figures he has his own reasons, and doesn't need to know, but he sure will miss the Black Moon.
