Legends of the People

Stephen Johnson - The Eyes-Smith

Tribe: Blood Talon (Lodge of Garm)
Auspice: Ithaeur
Packs: Eye of Fury (some claim it was a Lodge rather than a Pack and that his Pack was called the Iron Giants), originally of the Pack named Honour’s Shield.

Stephen saw the damage done to the Hisil by the First World War and decided to take action, to fight against it in the way he knew best. As a mighty Fetishsmith he crafted an item which would entrap spirits within, and which could be used as a mobile Locus of sorts (by drawing on the Essence of the spirits within). Unfortunately one of the Maeljin took note and helped in some way, corrupting the Fetish so that use corrupted the user. The Eyes-Smith had an apprentice (called the Locksmith), another Garmir, and he saw what had happened and determined that Honour compelled him to take action. With the aid of others the Eye was seized and locked away in a Barren within a Place-that-is-not, somewhere its powers and corrupting influence would be nullified.

AN EYE FOR AN EYE

This is the most important story of the character, or the bare outline of it. This should be something which reflects their Tribe and/or Auspice rather than just something which is cool, and needs to have the framework only – even more so than their lives these are things which will change in the telling, though remaining constant.

A version of this story can be read in The Lock and the Eye; Chaos Bound

Hero/Villain: Stephen Johnson is the Eyes-Smith, the Eye of Chaos is the central character of this tale, and its villain (though either the Eye or Stephen could be cast in that role). The Tribes of the Moon, led by another Ithaeur known only as the Locksmith, are the Heroes – some of whom gave their life to seize it and lock its power away.
Setting: Through the Shadow of the UK during the aftermath of World War 1
Events: The Eyes-Smith grew corrupt and sought dominion over the Shadow, and over Werewolves. He cared not about the Oath of the Moon, and found some allies in degenerate Pure (though most of his followers were Ghost Wolves, or the remains of packs which had been crushed by him). Pack-totem spirits were fed to the Eye, as punishment for any who opposed him. Eventually his old apprentice was able to find a place where the Eye could rest, a prison for its corruption (as destroying the Fetish would have unknown results) and gathered some fellows, mainly Garmir who were appalled at how far one of their own could fall. They fought bravely and the Eye was won (by an Irraka called Night-eyes, about whom nothing else is known) and was sealed away in a Barren within a Place-that-is-not, the entranceway guarded by five great, Fetish locks which * Moral: Power corrupts, and nothing from the Shadow is free. Everything must be paid for, sometimes the cost is not what you expect, and is not paid by the one who owns the debt; but honour demands a brother lets not a debt be unpaid.
