The office of the Sept Beta was introduced under Jacinta's alphaship in 2014 to answer a divide between the Garou of the city and the Garou of the woods. With the role of Alpha having been unified with the bawn-bound Warder, it left those of the city without a ready source of leadership. Even under new leadership, the position has remained to provide a much needed go-between among the sept's diverse tribal base. Like a pack beta, the Sept's Beta serves as a second-in-command under the Alpha and Warder and is expected to be able to suffice in either roles when needed. Should either one fall, the Beta will stand in until a permanent replacement is determined.
