Micah Starnes/History
I was born of the womb of a poisonous man
Beaten and broken and chased from the land
But I rise up above it, high up above it and see
I was hung from the tree made of tongues of the weak
The branches were bones of liars and thieves
Rise up above it, high up above and see
-Night of the Hunter

To hear Micah tell it, if you can get him drunk enough to talk about it, he was abandoned by his shit of a father after he was born, the bastard child of a Get of Fenris and human woman. He’d tell you how he was taken in by May, the Child of Gaia Den-Mother of the Sept of Silver Snow in Silver Bay, Minnesota. He’d tell you, his words slurred by drink, how his father became known as the Sept drunk, wasting away his gifts until one day he sank into harano and went out into a blinding winter storm to do his Sept a favor and die.
That isn’t the whole story, or even the true one. Then again, Micah isn’t always willing to admit or even hear the truth, not now, not after all these years.
