Joseph Blows-with-the-Wind

Joseph Blows-with-the-Wind is a Wendigo Ragabash in Australia.^[1]

Biography[]

Born in Montana, Joseph is a Blackfoot Indian. He was awarded a U.S. government scholarship to study in Australia. Joseph enrolled at Bone University, enjoying sunny Queensland so much that he never went home. He is currently hiding from the Immigration Department, which wants to deport him. Joseph lives the life of a roving surfer, driving his battered van up and down the Gold Coast, following the waves.

Joseph's head is full of his Blackfoot and Garou ancestors. They are constantly trying to make him do something or go somewhere, but Joseph is not interested. His ancestors speak of some great destiny in store for him and have frequently helped him escape Australian immigration officials. Evidently they have some reason for Joseph to remain in the country, although he neither knows nor cares what it might be.

On a recent surfing trip, Joseph was caught in a vicious current and carried out to sea. Stranded on a small coral reef, he saw a school of sharks swim toward him. Joseph's terror turned to amazement when one of the sharks took Homid form and retrieved his surfboard. The creature did not respond when Joseph tried to talk to it, instead diving under the waves. It was at that moment that his Ancestors, which had previously talked incessantly, ceased to speak to him.

Joseph decided to find out more about the weresharks, and approached the Jindabyne Council for help. He accepted their offer of a seat on the Council (being the only Wendigo in the country, there wasn't much choice otherwise) and eventually met up with Martin One Name. He went with Martin, Sea-Dog, and Austin to try to contact the Rokea, and only escaped the resulting blood-bath by using his Sky-Running Gift to reach land.

Appearance[]

Joseph is a short, bronze-skinned American Indian in his early 20s. He has long, loose black hair and wears cut-off jeans, T-shirts and cheap jewelry. His Lupus form, a large timber wolf, is always impeccably preened and almost looks blow-dried.
