Ok, so here's a sheet:<br/><br/>http://sheetgen.dalines.net/sheet/13641 (http://sheetgen.dalines.net/sheet/13641)<br/><br/>Let me know if I've counted up the Freebies right.<br/><br/>Background:<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>The Talbots</strong></span><br/><br/>The Talbots are, as far as most of Britain is concerned, a noble house of England, holding an Earldom; for the most part, their public history is unremarkable. Privately, they one of several families who bear Silver Fang blood, which would explain some of their long history of marrying throughout the British gentility.<br/><br/>Within the Silver Fang Tribe, they comprise a member-house of the larger House Austure Howl, the House of Silver Fangs which holds primacy of territorial claims amongst the Silver Fangs over Great Britain. Or did, until recently, that is. It has been revealed that within House Austure Howl, a terrible secret had been brewing; a secret cult of demon worshipers in league with the mysterious wyrm-scourge known as the Red Jack. House Gleaming Eye, the Scandanavian House of Silver Fangs, has descended upon the members of Austure Howl in a blood hunt, believing that Austure Howl-- the second House to establish primacy over Great Britain, and the second House to do so and fall-- is tainted in it's very blood, and must be eradicated to the last descendant.<br/><br/>For their part, the Talbots, despite their impeccable breeding (or perhaps because of it) were never truly central to the affairs of House Austure Howl. Sure, those True Born to the House made their names and deeds for the glory of Gaia and Falcon, and even some ascended to the rank of Elder-- but all in all, the central power of the House was never quite with the Talbots. It was only after the horrible secret of the House was revealed that the Talbots began to piece together why-- after they were already being hunted by their own Tribesman. Now, they flee massacre and genocide, looking for safe haven while looking for evidence to clear their good name, if not the name of Austure Howl. And of course, they flee the mad cultists who would, presumably, happily sacrifice their blood to the glory of their master if they could not be brainwashed into the cult.<br/><br/><br/><br/>(http://webservice.mymovies.dk/Photos/e2ede54c-6495-4db4-80e0-8dd4ecd32f13.jpg)<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Henry Talbot</strong></span><br/><br/>Henry Talbot remembers the good life-- mostly. The life before his family fled the persistant and dogged glare of House Gleaming Eye. Everything was easy, not much more to do than prepare for the day of his First Change, when he would assert his role as a Philodox amongst the nation; oh, and make grades and such. But then the family went into hiding-- at least from Gleaming Eye, and the Garou who did not outright revile them for their association with House Austure Howl.<br/><br/>It is not exactly as though Henry or the Talbots have known hardship-- quite easily the best place to hide from Gleaming Eye has turned out to be sometimes hiding in plain sight, spending time with very public peers of the British Realm where untoward actions would be quickly noticed. But they have never stayed in on place overlong, and many of their 'intirim' locations over the past few years have been less than kingly. And of course, the family has continued to try to do it's best to shelter relatives, as not even Kinfolk with blood ties to House Austure Howl have been safe. Despite the family's considerable wealth, much of it has been applied to keeping secret the location of it's Kin, and in looking for ways of proving the innocence of the family, and perhaps exonerating some significant portion of the once great House Austure Howl from the cloud of shame and death that has come to linger about them. Being Garou, those True Born members of the family have also sought to continue their service to Gaia, and even beyond that, dedicating themselves to Gaia's work more fastidiously than most in an effort to prove their loyalty to Gaia's purpose and demonstrate commitment above the call of duty to the honor of Falcon. The Talbots at large seek to serve Gaia with Garou outside of the Silver Fang Tribe, not knowing which of their Tribemates they can trust to keep the secrets of their identity safe from the scourge of Gleaming Eye.<br/><br/>Henry's father, Edward Talbot, in addition to being a Earl of the English peerage, is a Philodox of the Silver Fangs. It was auspicious, then when his first son and heir, Henry, was born to the same moon as True Born of the Garou. As the ranking member of the Talbots, Edward has been deeply involved in maintaining the secret of the family's Kinfolk relations from the prying of House Gleaming Eye, and in general of overseeing the family's activities in service to Gaia. To this end, Edward relies deeply on his mate and helpmeet, Clara Talbot, Henry's mother. The two have a relationship of deep trust, with Clara seeing to most of the household needs of the Talbots, their extended familial relations, in addition to the familie's responsibilities as members of the English peerage, a task to which she is excellently suited.<br/><br/>Henry has always grown up somewhat in his father's shadow; always expected to learn the intricacies of the law and it's application, both as a future member of the peerage, and as future Philodox of the nation. The families' position as functional fugitives from the blood hunt of House Gleaming Eye has made this somewhat difficult, as the Talbots have never stayed in one place long enough for Henry to gain any particular friendship with a group of pre-Change cubs at the Septs the family has served at off an on throughout the period of this exile. Instead, he has shadowed his father closely, who has instilled in him his particular interpretations of the Litany and their duties as Garou and Silver Fang.<br/><br/>This has not always gone over well; Henry like any other teenager rebelled and fought against the tyranny of his parents; it was during this time that Henry made the friends he did make, among similar well-to-do public school chums collected among the many Henry has attended as his parents moved him from place to place for his own safety. While not the most brilliant of students, Henry applied himself to his studies as best he could, and took particular interest in learning the art of fencing, knowing it was an overlap skill that would serve him in his future life as True Born quite well.<br/><br/>After his first change, Henry was sent to foster at an American Sept under the watchful eye of a trusted Silver Fang ally of his fathers, a member of House Wyrmfoe who disagreed with the hunt being carried out by House Gleaming Eye. He was raised in the traditional fashion of the Tribe for it's cubs, and eventually proved himself worthy of the rank of Cliath. Gaining rank amongst the Garou, his father has since moved him around the world on a number of tasks in service to Gaia being tracked by the family; this has made it difficult for Gleaming Eye to track Henry's movements, but also difficult for Harry to earn the trust of Spirits in seeking new Gifts, or in building Reknown to lay claim to higher rank, a difficulty that Harry has chafed at.<br/><br/>Three months ago, Henry was called back to the current base of operations for the Talbots in England, as his father wished to keep him close through some difficult period; his father than disappeared tracking what he thought might be an excellent new opportunity to build a more permanent home for the exiles of Austure Howl. (This would be the Island). After two months of unexplained abscence, the young Henry has grown anxious, and is setting out to put a pack of Garou to find his father, and discover what may be found of the secrets his father was seeking. (In other words, I figure I can be the reason the pack forms up, in seeking packmates to explore the enigma of Edward Talbot's disappearance, and which would lead to the discovery of the Island).<br/><br/><br/>
