Ratkin

The Ratkin were tasked by Gaia to control the population of humans with plague and pestilence. They were brought close to extinction by the Garou during the War of Rage, but now as humanity swarms the planet so too do the Ratkin number recover. They are closely tied to the Wyld making them one of the most adaptable Fera allowing intergration of the powers of the Wyrm and the Weaver.

Philodox(Knife Skulkers), Arhoun(Warriors), Theurge(Shadow Seers), and Ragabash(Tunnel Runners). Their were once Gilliard's(Bards) but they died out during the War of Rage.

Relationship with other Changers

The Ratkin are untrusting of other fera and keep to themselves. This is doubly so for the Garou as they have not forgotten the war of Rage. They do share some kinship with the Bone Gnawers however as both share the Rat as their Totem.

Other tribes are suspicious of them as they integrate the power of both the Wrym and the Weaver. Leaving many to wonder how resistant to corruption they claim.

Personality

To the Ratkin the Weaver is just as much a threat to Gaia as the Wyrm and will fight the servants of the Weaver as fiercely as the Wyrm. Ratkin do not look favorably to humans as they see them as pawns of the Weaver. Given their close ties to the Wyld they are often seen as eccentric and their frenzy often have hallucinogenic effects. Ratkin often value the species before the individual and will often give their life for their Colony.
