The Past Alphas of the Hounds

The Hounds of Hell went through many changes through their path and these are well documented, however, listed below are the men and women who took up the tough and terrible job of being their Alpha through the many battles and bloodshed the Garou and Kinfolk faced with the darkening world around them.

Each of these Garou have faced the horror of the Wyrm and every single one of them came away changed from being in the position. After all being a Hound of Hell is heavy going enough, to then be the Alpha and the leader of such a group is only for the hardest of Gaians.

John Killdare

Founding Father Alpha of the Hounds

John Killdare, known as 'I Shit You Not', 'Two Strike', 'Hammerflesh'

and 'The Grey Ghost' an Athro Philodox, returned to the Get of Fenris

from his time within the Bonegnawer Tribe. John never really left the

position of Alpha during his years on the roads with the MC of his original

creation. The old pack of his youth spread to gather members into the Hounds,

john the Head of the originals, riding out from Modesto California. John was a

hard man with a heart that very regularly would get him in trouble, to big and

golden for the world most of the time.

Lovingly known as 'Pops' or even 'Dad' to so many of the hounds that he adopted as his 'kids' referring to them freely as 'kiddo' and embracing them deeply into the family. Once they became one of John's, they never left, finding themselves quickly in love with the 'old man' and yet some would still quake in fear of the Philodox when punishments came to pass or were fought out in the camp. A strange and yet natural balance that John found easily with his people.

Commonly thought of as the most respected of the Alphas the Hounds of Hell had known. He had bled, fought, cried and loved with each of the members he was able to get close to. Only finding himself having issues when it came to betrayal and forgiveness that John seemed to give too easily to those who did not deserve it.

Fredrick Mahn

The Warrior Alpha

Fredrick Mahn, known as Hunts the Bane, Grimmsonurr, Warsmith,

Slayer of the Fallen Legend, Adren Ahroun of the Get of Fenris.

Though Fredrick was not a long term Alpha, he took over

from the Founding Alpha, John Killdare for a time

as he watched the Hounds of Hell fall to desire rather than glory

and could no longer bare the way the Sept were using

John's forgiving nature for their own means.

Fredrick was a hard man from a criminal background who had

little idea just how important his bloodline truly was to his vast

and ferocious tribe. It was during and near his time as Alpha

that he was to discover just how close and meaningful his

family name truly was and would become.

Marrying John's adopted daughter, Eva, he had as much of a vibrant

and sometimes wholly difficult relationship with her that he did with

the rest of the sept he wished to manage. Faced with a mutiny of the

Sept members, including having his own wife pull away his

authority it was a hard hit for the Ahroun who would never take up

the position again, saying that the Alphaship was not to his taste whatsoever.

Fred however managed a successful career as a powerful and

cautious Head Warder, also as a mighty Wyrmfoe who always had the matters of the Sept and it's members true to his heart despite how many of them would attempt to be free of his controlling nature.

Fredrick was a man of many skills, having been the most successful in his positions as Wyrmfoe and Warder, he also had a passion and talent that he turned to the Tannery and Forge, creating much of the needed armor and weaponry on the sept and giving way to many of the Sept ever having made it home from their trials.

Imogen Ranarson

The Spiritual Jarl

Jarl Imogen Ranarson, known as Bloodied Star Claw, Fenrir's Stormcrow, Rider of

the Frozen Wastes, Skyrender, Claims the Screaming Souls, Theurge/Godi of the

Get of Fenris.

Imogen became Alpha during further difficulty that the Hounds

faced, in confusion after the disappearence of the Founding Alpha,

John Killdare and the mutiny that Fredrick, a man she claimed as

her own blood brother, had faced.

Married herself and already a mother to twin boys, she grew to her

position without challenge but amidst jeers and unrest, some of

the Sept even trying to put her down for being a female Alpha to

the MC and the Sept as one. However even during this she quickly

became one of the most successful of the Hounds Alphas. Working

with an iron fist inside a velvet glove for her sept members.

Her Fenrir breeding and her connection with the Northgardian

Fortress held by her powerful father, the Hounds quickly found

life once more progressing, however life took a heavy turn for the

Jarl as she found her beloved husband had been unfaithful.

Unfortunately the then pregnant Godi raged narrowly missing

killing two of her sept members in a brawl that was never forgotten,

further more miscarrying a daughter which held a heavy price for the

Jarl who would find herself unmarried and alone in many aspects of every

day life on the Sept. However she did continue to serve the hounds of hell as

their Alpha until she vanished and was presumed dead, only to be found in a Hive, tortured and scarred many months later.

Imogen never gave up helping the Hounds of Hell even after the death of her unfaithful husband and the challenging relationships she had with many of the Sept members. Even to this day she remains an aid to the group with every resource she can muster.

Lucas Killdare

The Architect President

Lucas Killdare, known as 'You Fucking What!?', Jotunn Heart,

Stormcrow, once known as Jarl of Isensol, Ahroun/Modi of the Get

of Fenris, once of the Bonegnawer Tribe.

Lucas Killdare was one of the longest running Alphas of the

Hounds of Hell but also the MC. The two becoming

dangerously separated for a time. The young Ahroun followed

his father's footsteps with returning to the tribe of his name

and making sure he fought with everything he had in order

to prove himself a vibrant and worthy man of the Fenrir.

Lucas had many hardships to overcome with his terms as Alpha,

as there were multiple times that the Ahroun took up the challenge

in order to provide the next steps to the wandering Sept and MC. He

took over from Fredrick and Imogen first off. Leading the group in

the old way they had been more accustomed to but quickly finding

himself having to grow harder like his Fenrir companions in

order to find the right balance needed by the Hounds of Hell.

Matters of the Sept and MC became united under Lucas and the

man seemed to be pulling a good job until some in the sept found him

to not finish what he started or to speak of things that many felt were

never completed. But as with most of the history of the Hounds, Lucas found himself quickly firefighting rather than progressing.

Lucas led them to multiple victory on the Sept and as such is known as a successful and productive Alpha all the same, dealing with not only matters of the Sept but also trying to hold together his fiery and often vastly difficult family who would pick whether they would help or hinder the Ahroun in his daily battle for the good the Hounds needed to find.

However the end of his Alphaship came at the hands of Equilibrium, a Glasswalker Philodox and father to the mother of two of Lucas's children, Rachel, finding the young man to have fallen to the pressures and sorrow of his position and the darkening world around the Hounds who were losing allies and friends the world over.

Robert Linstead

The Redeeming Doctor

Doctor Robert Linstead, known as Equilibrium, Elder Philodox of the

Glasswalker Tribe.

Very little was known about Equilibrium, affectionately termed as

'EQ' by those of the Sept and those close to him. It was evident from

the beginning that he had a strained relationship with the founding

Alpha, John Killdare, but nether of the older Garou would speak of

what truly was the issue between them.

However much later the truth came to shine as it so often does

that EQ had infact in his youth been one of the Fenrir, a powerful

Ahroun named Helm Hranison Brynnasdawn. One of the original

pack to John Killdare in his early days within the Fenrir tribe.

However Helm, later known as Robert had fallen from grace in a

terrible standing due his time spent fighting in hives that had begun

to claim his very soul.

He did however manage to bring himself back up to the surface

and redeem huge matters by basically allowing his past self to

die and instead became one of the most influencial and

powerful Garou of the Nation within North America and the

protectorates. Dealing first hand with many of the royal families

and being a well needed and talented doctor to the Nation.

This came into heavy play as EQ watched the man who was the father to

his grandchildren, Lucas Killdare begin to be consumed with the darkness

around the hounds. EQ could do nothing else but basically interject, taking the position

of Alpha and defending the Sept when all other hope at one stage seemed to be lost.

Where EQ was no where need a long running Alpha, his term began a series of events that would

bring the Hounds of Hell to at least temporary safety amonst the wars and battles even against the

spirit realms that the group found themselves in. EQ however could not stay as Alpha though he was very quickly loved by the sept due to his duties elsewhere at Charter's Hill Hospital and as such he used every part of his Auspice to deem a man worthy of the position and passed his title to the Silver Fang, Amadeaus Torvold.

Amadeaus Torvold

The Guardian Alpha

Amadeaus Torvold, known as Lost Claw and The Guardian

of Hope, Fostern Ragabash of the Silver Fangs.

Amadeaus was quickly placed into the shoes of giants when he

became a member of the Sept. Appointed as Alpha for

being one of the most responsible members of the Sept, by

Equilibrium, an Elder, Amadeaus could barely ignore.

Amadeaus or 'Deaus' as he was affectionately known, went from

being a quiet presence on the sept to suddenly finding

himself thrown into the firing line as the world around him

blastedwith multiple attacks and the blood of the sept starting

to run freely, even from the children of the sept. He face grueling

and terrible circumstances as he desperately tried to find his

footing in the intimidating position he found himself in.

An older garou and one of many years experience, Deaus used

all he could in order to bring the Hounds out of horrific

surroundings,doing so, though with difficulty and at a heavy

price for those he led.

Deaus soon found himself grounded however, claiming a kinfolk and

also becoming a step father to two children he had stood for at their birth,

holding the woman he had grown to love, Rachel Linstead, Equilibrium's daughter.

However due to the unfortunate events surrounding the two children who were both Lucas

Killdare's by blood, Deaus found himself at loggerheads with the past Alpha.

MC and Sept had again become separated and this caused massive rift in the Hounds as Deaus led the Sept where Lucas refused to ever stand down as President of the MC. No matter how the Silver Fang tried, he could not find equal ground with the Fenrir and quickly Deaus found himself firefighting against the wildness of the MC that was pulling the Sept into war after war.

Deaus however was an inspirational Alpha and managed to achieve a lot in his time, making sure that the Sept was as organized as it possibly could be, giving the Hounds some poorly needed structure and well being.

Brendon MacFarlene

The Rock Star Alpha

Brendon MacFarlene, known as Thunder Scream, Brings the Screams,

Shattered Spiral, Adren Galliard of the Shadowlords.

Brendon was one of the major success stories of the Hounds of Hell, having first

come to them as a kinfolk without any calling to help the Nation and little care besides

to do so. Having his first shift and change on the Sept as they resided once within the

Urban Caern of the Deep, he was quickly grabbed up by Fredrick Mahn who had been Alpha

at the time of the Hounds.

Bren as he was affectionately known was trained heavily by the Fenrir in the ways of battle

and Bren became a strong Garou within a matter of weeks. The Sept seeing major

changes from the wayward kinfolk to the now strong warrior rock star who had found major

fame in the outside world with his massive powerhouse of a voice and commendable

guitar talents.

Brendon found glory and also heartbreak with the Hounds of Hell, having claimed

a kinfolk who became pregnant, not only did he endure the kin shooting herself in the head

and committing suicide after her lies and back stabbing were uncovered, he also watched

in horror as the other kinfolk and his own brother in turn had to rip a baby girl

from her lifeless corpse, only for Brendon to find out that she in fact was

not his child at all.

Bren however managed to regain some holding on his rage over

time and created a new family with the Shadowlord Kinfolk and

Huntress Amaris Santiago, having further children and also providing a

father figure to many of the children on the sept who had been left

without dads due to the bloodshed they were forced to endure.

Bren was a long term and beloved friend to Lucas Killdare and one of his major supporters through their many trials but it was the death of the founding Alpha, John Killdare that made Bren step forward to become the last known Alpha of the Hounds of Hell before their mysterious and supicious disappearence.

Bren was a caring Alpha but one who had the experience of his entire Garou life around the members of the Sept, perhaps on of the best informed Alphas who took up the position. The rockstar having to basically hang up his new position as one of the hard hitting and feared Bringers of Light in order to take up the position he was felt ready to conquer.
