Maurice
Pronounced MORE'·ISS

Name: Maurice Scully
Deed Name: Defends-the-Dreams
Titles: Former Sept Alpha, Former Alpha Theurge, Former Master of Rites
Rank: Elder
Pack: Running On Empty (Martlet)
Tribe: Fianna
Breed: Homid
Auspice: Theurge

Lore:
Maurice was a traditionalist among Garou, preferring that the old ways be observed as often as possible. While he appeared to be rapidly passing sixty winters, his attitude and demeanor were unusually modern beyond his dislike for most things technological. He was known to come from Sligo County in Ireland and to have been a resident of Whispered Oaths since being a Cliath. The mysterious circumstances that left the caern devoid of any of its Garou in 2007 were unknown to him as he was away on his challenge for the Rank of Elder at the time.

It was his decision to end the Oath of Secrecy upon the caern in the spring of 2008 and it wasn't long before young Garou arrived in heavy numbers to learn of this strange, ancient place of power.

Update: Whereas Maurice appeared to be pushing into his 70s in the winter of 2008-2009, he had received some bizarre blessing in the meantime and thereafter appeared to have not even reached his thirtieth spring.

Update: Maurice performed the Rite of the Winter Wolf on the evening of July 10, 2009.



Dedicated to Maurice "Defends-the-Dreams" Scully:

O.A.R. (Of A Revolution): War Song

Oh my God
Tell me this won't last forever
Tell me that I'm not alone
Tell me this will come together now

Packed my things up just the other day
Said my goodbyes to all these things I've sayed
Out in the driveway we laugh under the moon
Among my friends for now but I'll be leavin' soon

Many days from now I'm sure
I'll be back among your graces
And with you I won't pretend
No not at all, Oh

Crack the morning, up and running quick
No sleep again last night
That's the way it is
Out in the open under broken skies
I feel every foot step I see everybody's eyes

Oh and this is summer, in another world
Far from the driveway and my baby girl
Soon come the winter and with it quiet nights
And darker days and darker fights

Many days from now I'm sure
I'll be back among your faces
And with you I won't pretend
No not at all

Oh, the theater is burnin' over at midnight
But never like this
Hot under the fire, the stars are a fallin'
But never like this
No, I hope you never see this

Wait, wait for my love
Don't forget me never let me go
If you wait, wait for my love
I'll remember never let you go

Until I'm fine, fine, fine
Until I'm fine, fine, fine

To be back in my room
I have the same dream every night
Just me, among my things
No one else is there, there's no one left to fight, just me

Among my things
Many nights from now I know
I'll be back among your graces
Until then I'll just pretend
That I'm not cold

Oh my god, tell me this won't last forever
And tell me that I'm not alone
Tell me this will come together
Oh my God you know

Wait, wait for my love
Don't forget me never let me down
And just wait, wait for my love
I'll remember every one of you

And just wait, wait for my love
Wait, wait for my love
Wait for my love

Until I'm fine, fine, fine
Until I'm fine, fine, fine
I'll be fine, fine, fine
I'll be fine, fine, fine
