Torsten/Hooks

New in town

Torsten has recently arrived from up north where he was working with the the crabbers around Alaska. Knowing very few people, he settled in the area mainly because it was warm and would hopefully up some new business opportunities.

Black Stag Forge

Torsten has opened a commercial forge in the city located in the remains of an old service garage at the north west end of town. The Forge deals in decorative iron work for gardens and things but also produces the odd knife, axe and thing for historical reenactors. He has advertised on the web extensively and has a workable e-shop where he sells a lot of his items. Commission items are possible depending on the design. Half down to start and the other half when its finished. Also makes ritual items for several pagan communities (swords, spears, daggers)

Pagan

Torsten is pagan. He doesn't really hide it but he doesn't advertise it either. Since he's moved into the area he's put out some feelers with the local pagan community to see what things are like. He describes himself as a 'modern druid'. He has three faces: the Smith, the Healer and the Warrior.

Garou

Torsten is an unaligned garou, new to the city. When he was up in Alaska he worked with the local Sept but wasn't affiliated with a pack. Some have wondered if he is just the type to be a 'fringe' member of garou society, not committing to a pack. Torsten is a Theurge, a 'Druid' in his own words. He has a strong connection to his tribe's totem (stag) and the forest.

Mixed Heritage

Torsten is the product of the union between a Fianna and a Get of Fenris. His mother, a Fianna kinfolk, had fallen in love with a Get of Fenris and they produced a child much to the aggravation of the two tribes. He was then named 'Torsten' or 'Thor's Stone' to honor his father's people as well as his mothers. His mother ended up raising him since his father's tribe at their home Sept didn't like that he had bread out of their people. Torsten learned blacksmithing from his paternal grandfather, an attempt to give the boy something meaningful to contribute to the Sept and a place with his father's people.
