Name: Coyote Skull
Totem: Road Warrior – Totem of War – Strength, Freedom, Family
Description: The Coyote Skull was born in the years following World War 2 by Garou veterans who were having trouble assimilating back into civilian life after the military. In a society that valued conformity and sameness, there was little room for soldiers who were preparing to continue their war against the Wyrm. Unwilling to pretend to accept a white collar job and life as a stay-at-home mom, these men and women embraced an Outlaw lifestyle when at its birth.
As bikers, Coyote Skull was free to be who they wanted. Women were accepted as equals, whether Garou or Kinfolk, and given a chance to earn their colors and ride with the pack. In war, there are no civilians. Everyone must serve.
The Coyote Skull are nomadic, travelling across the country and occasionally settling down at a Sept when the Sept has need of them. When they are no longer needed, they move on. They’ve been in Phoenix for about 5 years but frequently travel across the West, eventually returning to help protect the Desert Shadow Caern.
Coyote Skull is not interested in leadership at the Sept, but expects to be treated with respect. There is currently a lot of tension between them and Quiet Thunder as the Native/European tensions play out. About the only thing the 2 agree on is the need to drive out the Upstarts, and this alone has prevented the tension from spilling out in the open. However, the Upstarts have the support of the Sept Leader Gilead. So for now they bide their time, count coup against Quiet Thunder, and wait for the day when they can surpass the natives and openly move against the Upstarts.

Name: Dagger
Alias: Marcus Boone
Tribe: Fianna
Auspice: Ragabash
The adjective most often used to describe Dagger is "asshole." He can be a bully, a predator, an opportunist, a thief, and a liar. He's a man who doesn't concern himself with what others think, and always speaks his mind. To his pack and those he calls friends, he can display unquestioning loyalty that is sometimes surprising, but to the majority of the world he's simply a dickhead who's tolerated.
To the Wolves of Coyote Skull, Dagger is a friend and a trusted member of their pack. Although outsiders might expect him to be Tequila's number 2, both he and the Alpha realize he lacks the temperament for leadership , and he's content to follow others as long as he's kept happy.
In recent months, to the surprise of many, Dagger has developed a close relationship with Michelle Wu of Phoenix Rising. The two have become close, something that concerns both Coyote Skull and Phoenix Rising. It's not that the two are a threat to each other, but together they seem to attract trouble.
