The Nameless Angel of Despair is a powerful spirit of the Wyrm, a Maeljin Incarna of the Urge Wyrm of Despair.
Biography[]
The patron of suicides, the Nameless Angel can manifest in many places at one time and feeds on sadness. It cannot speak, communicating only in waves of negative emotions, and has the innate ability to appear whenever its presence would help push someone over the edge. It takes no part in Maeljin politics, but all of the Wyrm's servants fear its grey robes and the cold, dark cloud of despair that travels with it.
The Nameless Angel is the source of the epic grief of Harano, and this feeling is also its weakness. To destroy the Nameless Angel, the Garou once created a legendary ritual where the participants fill themselves with hope and Rage. The rite can only work at a Concolation, a grand moot of Garou from far and wide. Garou from three different Septs must simultaneously work part of the ritual at their caerns.
At the end of these rituals, all the participants howl their Rage at the Wyrm in one vast and terrible instant. This surge of emotion destroys the Nameless Angel of Despair. Unfortunately, the details of the Rite are lost to time — and once the initial Concolation occurs, the Nameless Angel of Despair knows what is happening. It will attempt to stop the completion of the final Rites.
