Biography:
William Marrok was born to Patrick Marrok (Irish Immigrant) and Annabell Mason (Born U.S. Citizen) May 9^(th), 1973. His father was called up by the draft shortly after his birth to fight in Vietnam as a United States Marine, while Patrick’s own parents, Teagan and Maeve, emigrated from Ireland to look after their grandson. Patrick was killed ‘In an NVA Ambush’ in January 1974 with his squadmate and friend, Reverend Peter Thorndyke, helping to look after the family in his absence. William as a child was wild, unruly and prone to fights, but typically against people he described as “Bullies and thugs” and tended to defend classmates of color or minority status from bigots. This behavior did not endear him to his teachers or administrators, and it’s frankly a miracle that he even graduated with as high marks as he did, much less get accepted into Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1986. It is suspected that the promise of Peter Thorndyke to serve as a teacher and minder might’ve sweetened the deal and allowed William to remain enrolled. If it was hoped that being called to God’s service would calm his soul that proved to be a false hope: If anything, his tendency to get into fights and arguments only increased. He did not make friends easily due to his political views, which were further left leaning than those of his peers. Only two people admit to being firm friends with him during this time, both of them his Dorm roommates: Future Televangelists Patrick Fallson and Michael Forrest. The former remains in touch with William while the latter broke off all contact over disagreements over “Certain people”.
Something happened to William in his final year of study at Southeastern: Campus security and police reports indicate that his shared dorm room was ransacked and vandalized heavily, with furniture being destroyed and the main window being shattered. They also recount, with witness testimony, encountering a large ‘dog’ running free on the campus that night. William turned up in Reverend Thorndyke’s care afterwards, claiming that he had suffered a study-induced stress breakdown and had left, leaving the door open and food on his desk. It is believed that a bear slipped into the room from outside and began ransacking the place before being discovered by Michael and Patrick and fleeing. Since it was his final few months at Southeastern, he was allowed to graduate (If only just, his grades apparently really suffered in the final couple of months and his tendency to get into fights and arguments skyrocketed during this time) and joined his mentor, Peter, in Charleston, West Virginia. He continues to preach at First Street Baptist Church and is known to involve himself heavily when matters of environmental or social concern rise up.

Subject name: William Marrok
Subject Race: Garou/Werewolf
Tribe: Fianna
Auspice: Galliard
Important Information:
Reverend William Marrok is a Garou of the Fianna Tribe. Like the rest of his ilk he involves himself heavily in thwarting our operations in and around Charleston, West Virginia. His father, Patrick Marrok, was a known Fianna Radical responsible for damaging several Hallahan Fishing Company vessels during the Cod Wars as well as heavily damaging Endron’s Big Mikey Oil Rig in the North Sea War. Furthermore Patrick’s death by “NVA Ambush” came about AFTER he had destroyed a cache of Nastrum Enterprises’ “Agent Black” chemical defoliant while working with the Khan (Weretigers for you rank and file). We’re not sure how much William knew of this while he was growing up: There are some records from Patrick’s superior officers that he “Wanted his son to have a normal life”, but whether this includes suppressing the truth about his heritage until he was ready, we’re not sure.
What we are sure of is the fact that Billy had his First Change October 8^(th), 1990 while studying at Seminary. He then proceeded to trash his dorm room, terrify his friends and smash his way into the forest. It’s a surprise that he didn’t kill anyone. We suspect that his mentor, Reverend Peter Thorndyke, is also Garou and was able to subdue him before word spread and further instruct him in his ‘role’. This would track with an increase in “Bear and wild dog Activity” reported by the Seminary during this time. It was around this time that he also became increasingly outspoken against the more conservative elements of the Convention, and alienated his friend Michael Forest, though not Patrick Fallson.
Currently he is preaching at First Street Baptist Church in Charleston, West Virginia. He is a noted rabble-rouser and thorn in the side of our operations there. His sermons frequently express pro-LGTBQ, Pro-Environmentalist, Anti-Capitalist sentiments, which have noticeably alienated many of the older Churchgoers, but has reliably drawn in younger, more ‘politically active’ Churchgoers, some of whom were not expressly religious. This is likely the only thing keeping Billy in the good graces of the Convention’s leadership, as he has made no secret his distaste for the lavish lifestyles enjoyed by many of them. He’s made a powerful enemy in the form of Reverend Walter Fallson, father of Reverend Patrick Fallson and current host of “Sunday Service with Walter” on RedEye and Omni Television. Despite being friends with his son, Billy has repeatedly blasted Walter for “Failing to follow Christ’s commandments” and “Putting wealth ahead of service”. He has especially targeted the Elder Fallson’s homophobia and sexism, which has earned him some popularity with the local LGTBQ community. While Walter has publicly offered no comment other than standard “God Rewards the Hard Worker” privately he has approached several criminal individuals with orders to “Rid him of this turbulent Priest”.
His allies include his family, whom we suspect are Fianna Kinfolk, and Reverend Thorndyke whom we assume is a Garou. Other allies include Patrick Fallson, a Human currently preaching at North Hills Baptist Church in Vallejo, California, as well as several individuals associated with the First Street Baptist Church. It is unknown if Billy is a part of a Caern or not, but as our operations expand into that state we will likely know more soon. Given the Garou’s natural protectiveness of Kinfolk we might be able to trap him through threatening their lives, should he become a large enough thorn in our side to justify it. Given his deep fondness for Patrick Fallson (Rumors on campus claimed that both were engaged in ‘Sinful dealings’) we might also be able to attack Marrok through him, assuming his father approves.
That brings us to his enemies. Despite his reputation as a rabble rouser and leftist he only has a few who might be relied on to aid our efforts. The first is the aforementioned Walter Fallson, who sees in Billy a devil corrupting his son and luring him “Away from God’s Righteous path picked out for him”. Given that Walter has already approached members of the criminal underworld for a hitman it might be best if we send in a Hunter team disguised as thugs-for-hire. FIRST Teams should also be considered in the event that Billy is a part of a Pack or Caern. Another individual we might rely on is Michael Forest, whom has publicly expressed contempt for a “Communist Pinko Faggot” and called Marrok a “Predator in Human skin”. Given his recent inquiries into silver bullets and apparent decline in Supernatural activity in the town of Everglade it is safe to assume that Michael might be a Hunter of the Supernatural. The final enemy that he has made might be Antonio Rivadecci, the self-proclaimed ‘Bishop of Charleston, West Virginia’. As a servant of the Sabbat he is already known to us thanks to his generous purchases of Magadon Pharmaceutical’s “High Quality Painkillers and Stimulants” (Opium, Morphine, Heroin, Cocaine and Methamphetamines for those not aware). Though the Sabbat of West Virginia have been dealt severe blows in recent years by Garou activity Rivadecci remains our best local source of manpower and allies.
For now though the doings of a single Garou in one of the backwater states is of limited concern to us. Until our operation in West Virginia become severely hampered enough to justify our attention it is best if we leave the dog alone, no matter how loud his bark.

In 1957 the Lionel Toy Train Company, facing declining market shares and sales, sought to expand their product line in a new direction: Girls. They released a train set called "The Lady Lionel". This set featured pastel colored locomotive and rolling stock, with the locomotive in particular being a bright pastel pink. For freight instead of the more traditional lumber, coal, gravel the train was expected to haul doll furniture and other 'girly' things.
Unfortunately the sets failed to sell in sufficient numbers. While girls were capable of and willing to play with trains, they typically wanted their trains to be realistic. Furthermore boys wouldn't be caught dead playing with a "Girl's Toy" and shops refused to stock it. Most sets were sent back to Lionel for repainting, with the few that survived in their original colors now being considered collectors items.

"You see, Argyll, it is a mercy what we do. Gaia is dying, slowly and painfully. We cannot turn back the clock to stop the Industrial Revolution, the Weaver's solidifying of reality. We cannot bring Mankind to heel with the numbers they have now. There must be a culling, a mass die-off, if we can hope to bring balance to the Triat. Gaia is the only thing standing between that and us. She's suffering thanks to Mankind, Argyll. The Gaians think that if they kill enough of the Wyrm's servants she'll somehow rercover, but we both know that won't happen. Better to end our Mother's misery, and let Her be born anew..."
"I know, Zarrax, I know... I just see the Gaians, how they fight for Her, how they refuse to back down..."
"They are tragic, Argyll. I envy their optimisim, their hope, but we know that it's false, misplaced... Gaia is dying, and nothing they can do will avert that. Combat them, Argyll, for they will fight you to their dying breath. Maybe if you can get them in a one-on-one situation you can talk sense into them, but it's not a gaurentee. I've lost track of how many I thought were seeing sense, seeing the truth, only for them to relapse and force me to put them down. Your empathy towards them is commendable, but don't let it stop you from doing what must be done to save Gaia."

Hey, first post. Meet my Night Elf Worgen Morthalis Wolffang, one of the original Druids of the Scythe that created the Worgen Form. Having lived for thousands of years (granted, most of them were spent in the Emerald Dream) and seen so much conflict, violence and heartbreak it’s easy for Morthalis to slip into melancholy and think back on who he used to be and wonder where he went wrong, or even if he did go wrong.
