Zhyzak Character in Baltimore By Dark | World Anvil

Zhyzak

When Zhyzhak was born, she broke her mother's pelvis. As she grew into a terrible werewolf, she was chosen as a champion of the totem of the Green Dragon and a Warder of the Trinity Hive caern – a hive actually situated in the gut of a colossal Thunderwyrm called Grammaw. Zhyzhak's madness manifests itself as klazomania (a mental illness that causes her to shout rather than speak), and it comes and goes as her mind becomes more and more filled with unholy voices.   In homid form she is unnaturally tall and muscular, with striking but cruel features, resembling a muscle-bound Wagnerian valkyrie in dominatrix drag that only appears in public when she is prepared to kill everyone she sees. She does not torture or toy with her foes – she simply kills, kills, and kills. Like many Black Spiral Dancers, her name comes from the first sound she made after dancing the Black Spiral (in her case, a snapping of her jaws).   Zhyzhak has been marked by several theurges of her tribe as a "chosen one". She is inhumanly strong due to her personal totem, and has shown to be capable of bending steel, splintering oak, and with minimal effort even killing a Crinos form Garou while remaining in homid form. In battle she uses a devil-whip fetish named Btk'uthoklnto.

Furthermore, Zhyzhak was prophesied by Nhaukh, her packmate, to be the one who will crush the Last Gaian King (presumably Jonas Albrecht) under her heel. She defended her title as an Alpha of the Dragon's Daughter Pack at least once, when another werewolf called Pirog was bold enough to challenge her rule.   On June 15, 2021, Zhyzak attacked New Moon Architectural while Albrecht was visiting the caern. She destroyed the caern, killing dozens of kinfolk and wolves alike as she and Jonas had their final confrontation. The battle raged on for two days until finally, in the early hours of June 17, 2021, Zhyzak dealt a killing blow to the King. In his dying moments, he sealed her away as well, never to return.
Zhyzak has appeared once before her fateful meeting with Jonas Albrecht.   During the battle to cleanse the Black Spiral Dancers from Baltimore, Ursula, the werebear who commanded the Dancers' hive, took then-Marshal Matt Drake into the labyrinth with her to meet Zhyzak.   It was an absolute slaughter, the vampire ripped to shreds by the Ahroun. But Ursula used her gifts to resurrect Drake as a mortal, dooming him to more months of torture before he could be rescued by Martin Isaacs along with Jessica Waverly and Robin Lutece, both also held captive by the Dancers.
