Biography
Not every Glass Walker knows what they are before their First Change. Unlike the other tribes, there isn't a lot of pedigree control over who they are and what might become of them.
Simon has always been a bit of a misfit. As a child, he was the one who fought bullies or sometimes he was, himself, the bully. As a teen, he was a delinquent, committing crimes, doing drugs and being the awkward topic of conversation for his middle-class parents.
His First Change came after a particularly violent exchange with a rival gang. This was also the first time he actually killed a person. Or people, as the case was. But this episode did not escape the notice of older werewolves. Werewolves that were related to his very notable ancestor.
His grand uncle, Ronald "Dutch" Holland helped to raise the wayward Ahroun into something more. His crew shaped Simon into a soldier for the cause of Gaia. That propensity for violence was tempered in the fires of gun rapport. Under their tutelage, he thrived and prospered, in the way only a natural could.
He has been to Los Angeles in two different episodes: once, to help a Ragabash who requested the assistance of Dutch. And now, to honor his legacy. To bring about a new age for the Wise Guys, just as the Glass Walkers reinvent themselves, time and again.
