Omar One Leap: Silent Strider, Ahroun, Rank 5, 5ft 11’ tall, 42 years old, A moody but effective leader following his uncle (previous Caern leader - killed by a mage). He still suffers from the shame of a secret marriage to another Garou (the rite master). He is a stern faced white haired Arab who is a Great War time leader. He holds many secrets and has much to hide, but is supportive providing people don’t snoop around. He is proud of his moustache and wears a wrap.

Badr-al-Dujja: Silent Strider, Ragabash, Rank 4, Master of the Rite,5ft 7’ tall, 38 years old, A aging Eastern beauty with a sharp tongue and bite. Her attitudes could betray her as a fury, but she has a warm side, which has been buried amongst shame and ridicule. She is Omar’s ex –wife. Still hurt by the death of her stillborn Metis son. She has hypnotic blue eyes, unusually in an Arab and is rarely seen without a veil and wrap.

Jamila: Black Fury, Theurge, Rank 3, Gatekeeper, Head Theurge, 5ft 4’ tall, 24 years old. A young and white Egyptian. She is a strong individual but not hostile to all men, allowing every man a mistake. She is proud of her position and is fiercely competitive. Their has been a Black Fury as head Theurge at this Caern for many a generation. She dresses as an adventuress and has a keen interest in Egyptology.

Rifai: Silent Strider, Philodox, Rank 3, Keeper of the Land, 5ft 9’ tall, 26 Years old, an expert on Setites and Guls (vampires). He is a traditional Arab who has a keen dislike of tourists (especially Americans), in his younger days he was a part of a separatist movement of terrorists. He can be amenable to foreign Garou but it normally has to be worth his while.

Meles Ayad: Bonegnawer, Ahroun, Rank 3, Master of the Howl, The newest Garou member to the Caern, he is a dirty street urchin of debatable age. He has many links with the city (city father) and Ratkins and the other Bone Gnawer Caerns in Egypt. He laps up any attention spent on him and loves new people to the Caern, always keen to ask their opinion of ‘man-eaters’. He wears rags and is very dirty. His Crinos form lacks fur on his four legs, enhancing his mongrel look.

Vezil Amakwad: Silent Strider, Philodox, Rank 2, 6’ tall, 24 years old, Vezil is a well travelled Arab, originally from Iran. He is fondly liked and many of the Garou respect him. He is being slowly groomed for the New Caern leader, although this will take time. He is winning a diplomatic battle to have the young Garou Ennu (Hope) brought to the last Silent Strider Caern. The diplomatic power the Caern would have gain is great. Vezil dresses as a plain clothed Arab.

Ken Bucknell: Stargazer, Ahroun, Metis, Rank 3, 5ft 6’ tall, 50 years old, a Metis who always casts a Garou shadow or reflects the Crinos form. He is a balding old man, who travelled about with Peter and Liz Torbet forming the Joined allegiance pack. He suffers from bouts of mopping and depression but always forces a smile. He is also eccentric and generally hides his Stargazer nature.

Liz Torbet: Black Fury, Galliard, Rank 4, 5ft tall, 46 years old, an old Black Fury and Leader of her pack. She faithfully serves her totem, which is Chameleon. She has her own plans and can be vicious, but her old Black fury nature is controlled behind her cold calculating brow. She has her own agenda and even her pack does not know what it is! She dresses in modern ladies fashions or in unisex types of clothes but always smart and presentable.

The Caern: This is the fabled Silent Strider Caern, although there is another, which is meant to be the original. However this is the only actively working Caern for Silent Striders, yet Set’s curse here is strong, so strong that no Silent Strider can regain Gnosis this close to Cairo. This means all Silent Striders of the Caern have to hold links with other Caerns outside of Egypt to get their supply and by encouraging other tribes to stay. The area is strong with the Wyrm forcing the Caern to use the Secret Glen rite each month. It connections with the vanishing fortress can be guessed at, and the Northern Tower (when it appears) can be clearly seen from the Umbra. The Power of the Moon Bridge here is tremendous allowing almost all Caerns in the world to be accessible and increasing the Caerns relationships with other Garou. There has been a time when over 100 Garou turned up in the Caerns defence against the Wyrm. The Caern is still looking for a leader since Omar’s uncle was killed by a Wyrm tainted mage. Not any Garou can take the place as the Totem has much sway at the Caern and distrusts most.

The Etesian Tower: A light blue marble tower resembling an arc of a sail. It floats above ground on a cloud that morphs into red tidal waters. Occasionally it produces scarlet lightning and rumours of banes circling its top. It is studied by the Caern and a few Garou know how to enter the Tower. The totem protecting it and the Caern is Amaunet, the Egyptian Goddess of the Northern wind and a remote Black Fury totem
