Introduced to the Broken Dagger in 2001, Biske didn't actually start play until 2002. He needed a character. Always mildly interested in werewolves, and bieng a big fat furry, Reagan Biske was the first character of Biske's to be made for the game.

Origin

Reagan Biske's name is derived from the French tale known simply as "Bisclaveret", or "The Werewolf", and shows the original intentions of the character - that is, a brave and riteous knight who happens to also be a werewolf. Deeming this "totally boring", Biske dumped the idea and completely rehauled the character to his currently cowardly, filthy state.

Despite being involved in numberous plots and suffering many injuries, Biske's pessimistic outlook and personality (if he ever had one) has changed little. A self-proclaimed coward, Biske nevertheless manages to save the day once or twice. And, much to his dismay, he has recieved no monetary rewards for doing so.

As of June 7, 2006, Biske has been cured of his werewolfism.

Description

Physical

Biske is a tall, lanky man of obvious northern peasant stock, being pale of skin with slightly curly hair and eyes of unremarkable brown. He stands at about the six-foot-four of an ectomorphic body type, many times looking quite emaciated even when he is eating consistantly. His hands are unusually large, even for his height, with long fingers and thickly callused palms. His hair is quite wild, being tangled or with various objects stuck in it, such as sticks and leaves. His scraggled beard and muttonchops hide a receeding chin and powerful jaw. All in all, for a man in his forties, Biske shows little indication of aging, save for a few worry-wrinkles.

He is positively covered in scars; many times they completely replace the original skin. Noted scars include the tangled mass at and around his neck, including a burn-mark of linked chains; numerous small scars across his face, as if he'd been gnawed upon; a long, gashing scar across his abdomen; masses of scars about his ankles and arms; and many more, most inflicted upon himself while he had transformed. He has extensive, healed burn-marks across his entire body, where the skin is bright pink and tender. His left eye is missing, leaving a gaping, uncovered hole.

The man is most noted for his coats; a sturdy one of forest green that was later destroyed by the werewolf Phaedra, and most currently one made of tanned hide and fur, made for him by DaisyDreams. His clothing is usually filthy, ill-fitting, and one tear away from falling apart, save for his sturdy, mud-specked hobnail boots. He also wears a long, trailing cloak of deer hide, another gift from the enigmatic Stood-as-One.

He carries a rather evil-looking axe of obvious drow origin, being apparently carved from obsidian and laced through with spiderwebs of silver; the double-headed blade being in the shape of bat wings - the centerpiece, a spider who's legs form vicious spikes, and who's head is that of a grinning, horned skull. It's uncertain just how he managed to find it, though it is known that Lokelei aided him in some fashion, and that he found it somewhere in Audmathus's old haunt.

Personality/History

Despite his mental imbalance, it has been proven that the man is almost impossible to emotionally shake. He seems to be more stable now that the werewolf curse afflicts him no longer, revealing himself to be rather quiet, meek man - certainly far from the sniveling, explosive werewolf he once was. Due to the influx of formerly lost memories unleased by the curing, however, Biske seems to be growing more and more off. He has ceased sleep altogether, catching only a few catnaps now and then, and has become increasingly paranoid.

He was recently healed of his curse by Bryce Larose, though he had murdered in order to do so, and when faced with the justice of the Brotherhood of Janeiro or the local Garou Coven, he chose the latter. However, as he was being escorted by Phaedra, his axe suddenly appeared in his hands and he disappeared into the shadows as easily as any drow. Since then he has been at large, though some claim to have seen him poking about various parts of Myrken - notably, in holes and shaded areas.

Trivia

• In spite of being a big wuss, it has been claimed that Reagan Biske has recieved the most battle-related injuries of any character still alive in the Broken Dagger.

• Number of times Biske's clothes have fallen/been ripped off: 63

• Biske's left eye was removed, and later devoured, by Audmathus.

• Biske has had his nose broken seven times since his inception - three of those instances caused by himself while drunk.

Original Website Description and Picture

Nothing much is known about this man that showed up in Myrken one unremarkable day. It wasn't long until he was uncovered as a werewolf, a cruel fate that had torn his life away in a distant land nearly twenty years ago. Forced to live on the fringes of normal society since then, the man seems more dog-like than wolf; scrounging in garbage cans, begging charity, raiding chicken coops when he gets the chance. And yet when the full moon rises, his true nature is revealed.

He lives as he's always done since the sickness took him those two decades ago; a fawning, drunken, moraless, cowardly creature. And yet there are those rare instances in which he strides into danger, determined and strong - for those he has come to call friends. But even in those rare times there is doubt.

After all, who can trust a werewolf?
