SILVER HAND
AIMS: Destroying all Werewolves
STATUS: Inactive (See reports on New Jersey Training Mission)
WEAKNESS: Unknown
MEMBERS: Human
The Silver Hand are an illegal group of Human Hunters dedicated to hunting down and murdering Werewolves. Since the rediscovery of the other races, there have been groups of human who believe them a threat, whether through fear, anger or sometimes even jealousy. The Silver Hand are one such group who attract members from all across the world. Unlike other paramilitary groups hunting the other races, the Silver Hand are well funded and highly organized.
The history of the Hand is vague and is surrounded by rumours and hearsay. What little is known, however, is that the group was formed in WW2 by a Vatican Hunter who specialised in hunting Werewolves. Whether the group still has any connections to the Vatican is hotly debated, a claim the Vatican denies.
Each member of the Silver Hand bears a tattoo showing their alliance on their neck behind the ear.
Felicia Crispin
AIMS: Learning as much as possible from the other races, in order to destroy them.
WEAKNESS: She believes she is cleverer than anyone else.
Several years ago, Felicia Crispin made waves when she published a controversial paper detailing a methodology for manipulate the Lycanthrope cells of Werewolves to constantly keep a Were’s bestial side suppressed, effectively making the human. It seemed like a promising step toward integrating Werewolves who wanted to remain human into normal society. Dissent among her peers soon followed. Many considered her work to be dangerous because of its perceived ethical shortfalls, and Crispin was even accused of wanting to wipe out Werewolves completely. In addition, other geneticists were unable to reproduce the results of Crispin research, which further called her discoveries into question. Instead of kick-starting her career, her paper seriously damaged her reputation.
She received a lifeline in an offer from an unlikely source: the Silver Hand. She continued her work in the shadows while developing new weapons and technologies for the organization to use against Werewolves. Freed from her shackles, her genetic research greatly accelerated. Although working for the Silver Hand, she does not care for their ideas of Werewolf eradication but instead works toward a larger goal: the eradication of all other races.
Vernon Mowbray
AIMS: Kill all Werewolves
WEAKNESS:
Not much is know about the elusive Vernon Mowbray, other that he is the power behind the Silver Hand. Records indicate a person called Vernon Mowbray fought in the US Marines during the Iraq War, but also in the Gulf War. There are records of a Captain Vernon Mowbray serving in the US Airforce in WW2 and a Private Vernon Mowbray in the American Civil War!
