This is a role the Glass Walkers are all too happy to take; they love toys. The epithet “Weaver-thing,” considered an insult when applied by the Red Talons, is used in loving jest by Glass Walkers (“Ooh,new  Weaver-thing! Lemme see....”). Their affinity for technology is unmatched among the 12 Tribes.

 

The Walkers are not obsessed solely with computers and high tech; they also embrace business, politics

and high finance. Only a city’s Leech  population matches the Dons when it comes to having a finger

in every pie. The Glass Walkers have contacts in many white-collar industries and no small number

of trade unions and other blue-collar labor. Glass Walker business investments often provide the operating capital for extended Garou operations, and a few warlike septs now find themselves in debt to the Glass Walkers for previous raids. Most Walkers wouldn’t call a debt like this in, but it is good to

know the marker is there when you need a favor.

 

The Glass Walkers do fight the Wyrm. They just take the fight to  the boardroom  and the Internet.

rheir finest warriors stalk those who exploit urbanization and they reclaim urban areas to create patches of green in the cities. One of the tribes greatest assets is the “ Monkeywrenchers,” Saboteurs of various talents who turn there efforts on corrupt companies, especially Pentex, and its subsidiaries. When they're not duking out with public corruption, The Glass Walkers are dealing with the city's vampire population; such a close quarters ensure the ancient enemies encounter each other, and the Glass Walkers know as many dirty tricks as the Leeches to get things done.

Wolf Form: Having degenerated from ancient lupine majesty, the Glass Walkers are smaller and weaker than most other Garou when in wolf form. Their fur is often mottled, as befits their mixed heritage. Many Glass Walkers shave or dye their Crinos-form fur in accordance with similar modifications they make to themselves in homid form.

 

Organization: At the local level, city elders known as Lords or Dons rule the Walkers. These elders have wide-ranging influence throughout the city, rivaled only by local Leeches. As is the case with many tribes, the Glass Walkers lack  a  large-scale organization, but as the world becomes more interconnected through an electronic web, Dons are better able to cooperate with one another and make certain that a werewolf cannot escape punishment simply by fleeing to a remote city. The Main hub of organizational control for the tribe resides within the "Trio" Caerns of Houston Texas, The Deep Caern (even though it has a STRONG Bonegnawer presence), Charter's Hill Hospital and mainly The Shatterdome Battle Station.

 

Habitat/Protectorate: As might be expected from their name, the Glass Walkers prefer to live in the wealthiest parts of cities across the world. The centers of power - political, financial or electronic - are their stomping grounds. They prefer to stay close to their human contacts, from board rooms to underworld society or ritzy clubs to seedy street life. Their Kinfolk are equally widespread, mostly connected through electronic means (cell phone, e-mail, pager).
