Father Wolf
From Www.uratha.com - Forsaken Wiki
The legendary spirit forefather of the werewolf race.
Excerpts from the Tale of Pangea:
This Story is true.
He was a warrior of the Shadow Realm and the muddy world of air and earth. He roamed the boundaries of the physical world, keeping everything in its place. Spirits roamed into the world of the flesh, but not far or for long. Urfarah was all too ready to give chase when a spirit overstayed its welcome. When necessary, his teeth and claws pushed mortals and animals back into the relative safety of the flesh world if they strayed too far into the spirit world. His heart burned with supernatural strength and conviction, a righteous Rage that made him unstoppable. But he was the master of that Rage. He was first above us all, and greater than any other.
Father Wolf loved Luna as she rode across the skies, and was overcome with joy and love when he encountered her walking through the borderlands between the spirit world and the physical. He was not alone in either of these sentiments. For her part, Luna found Father Wolf to be valiant and wise, strong and handsome, and she loved him in return. They knew one another, and she gave him children of both spirit and flesh — the first werewolves. Although she wore a human body, Luna gave birth to the first werewolves as a litter of nine pups, a sign of their future fate.
From Father Wolf they (our ancestors) gained senses, strength and speed that went beyond those of flesh-born wolves. From both parents they gained a measure of spiritual power, Father Wolf was Lord of the Border Marches.
Father Wolf eventually declined in his power. He was still the fastest and the strongest, but not as fast or strong as he used to be. He was not worthy to be Alpha. Six of his nine childred attacked him to prove the need for another leader. Father Wolf was such a spirit that the only attack they could use against him was to act for his death. The werewolf that struck the final blow was killed by Father Wolfs death howl. The five left are the Totems of each of the Tribes. The three that were uninvolved are the totems of the Pure Tribes.
