Werwolf
Eat or be eaten.
General Information
The Werwolf is a Coven Model, and belongs to the Creature type. Creatures are Summoned by expending Goetia. This model is easily called on the battlefield, and is survivable and hits hard, but it is somewhat of a glass cannon: if actually hit it goes down pretty fast. A kind of "scout" of sorts, it can secretly watch Hidden Encounters and destroy some of those, and enjoys a great freedom of movement in being quite fast, and ignoring Sanctuaries or even Hunters if it so wishes.The Legend
The tales about skin changing people are always interesting. In period, it was not strictly speaking a "curse of lycanthropy", it was more like a question of bargaining with a dark power, and obtaining the power of changing into a beast, usually a wolf. The question about exactly why should somebody give up his or her soul for the dubious advantage of becoming an antropophagous personification of bestial impulses has plagued most trials of Lycanthropy through the ages-- yet still our ancestors believed some of them did, and woe betide them. A gruesome death would be their lot. It was generally believed that a Werwolf would change using a magical object of some kind, usually a wolfskin belt. Sometimes the poor sod's house would be searched for such sorcerous treasure. Not a single one of them was ever found, but that didn't certainly stop trials that were already settled from the start. In the world of Hexerei, Werwolves are bad people forced by the devil to become a supernatural agent, a host for a shapechanging wolf-demon of sorts that melds into their flesh, and can be called upon with sorcery. They look normal, until they... change.Portrait
