| - Thane, by virtue of his rank, is known around the Garou circles. By and large, there's four main stories surrounding him. The first is his childhood. He was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the resident Three Rivers Sept. The human world claims his mother, father, little sister, and nanny all died in a mass murder-suicide in 1995, when the boy was nine. Reportedly the police got involved in time to recover him. The true story, known amongst the Garou, is that Spirals murdered his father and nanny in the family home and abducted the others. His infant sister was slain by them and his mother, Garou like her son, was broken and presumably taken away to be corrupted. Thane, not yet Changed, likely would have followed had the sept not tracked them down. Kinsmen on the police force covered up the true crime and altered the paperwork, resulting in the publically known story. Thane was reportedly never fully well after, claims of unusual behavior and an unsettling presence haunting him ever since - though repeated tests showed no sign of Taint on the boy. The second story is his Rite of Passage. The boy was told to glean the information of a nest of leeches from one the sept had captured. When Thane emerged from the room with the required info, he was found unharmed and the vampire cowering, carved up with glyphs of shame, coward, leech, and fear. The cub-now-Cliath? He was reportedly 'bored'. The third story of Thane is that of his Fostern challenge. He was tasked with clearing out the Spirals that had taken hold in an old strip mine pit, the very one they had taken him to as a child. After scouting, he sought talens to crumble a dam holding back the river that once flowed through the area, using the talens to rapidly but naturally age the dam so as to avoid suspicion of tampering. The old pit was flooded and the sept coordinated to fall upon Spirals who came out. They patrol the area to this day after the local township officials were 'encouraged' to abandon plans to repair the dam, with the mine no longer in use. The final story is that, for six years, Thane lived at the Teeth of the Night. There he challenged for Adren. He was tasked with coordinating a strike team and organize a battle plan to slaying a nest of Leeches, which was ultimately successful. However, it was not so cut and dry. Sinister rumors circulated about the dark fate that befell other Garou related to the event, claims ranging from some vampiric curse to just bad luck. An Adren named Storm-In-Silence, the one Thane challenged, died in the battle. Another Adren , Elena Strikes-Before-the-Wind, served to confirm the challenge had succeeded despite Storm's death, though she herself was killed but short weeks after in a vampire raid. While there, he received a scar fetish commonly known amongst the Nation as a 'Soul of Lightning'. The spirit bound into the scars on his arms allows him to call upon lightning to harm his foes. Some Garou of the sept claimed to have seen him in the company of others suspected to belong to the Bringers of Light camp, but no one had any hard proof.
