Dominic Verbeck, known to the Uratha by his deedname Fang-Breaker, was a well-respected member of the Blood Talons tribe until the events of the Nights of the Broken Moon lead to the loss of his pack. He has survived as a lone wolf since those nights, eschewing the support of his tribe for their sins and living by violence for hire, using those moments of rage to fight the haranu he can feel rising in his soul.
Description
A large man settling into middle age, with the sort of barrel-chested, large-gutted build that power-lifters and real strongmen have, muscle with padding that could be mistaken for fat by the foolish. Dominic could easily be underestimated, a contender gone to seed with tired eyes, thinning hair and grey-speckled beard. The fresh scars on his knuckles show the lie to this, and his smiles turn predatory when someone pushes him far enough to show violence still lurking in his heart.
Storytelling Hints
Dominic seems cold at first, letting his deep, rumbling voice and large size put people off until he gets the measure of them. He smiles easily and the rough edge to his voice just as easily breaks from a growl to a laugh. if someone is worth talking to, they're worth being honest to. He prefers trading war-stories and hearing about others past glories to talking politics, and refuses to sugar-coat things just because it might be diplomatic to do so. He hides it well but there is a hollowness to his good cheer, and an inner emptiness that easily turns into outer violence if pushed too far.
Chronicles
Under A Killing Moon
Dominic first appeared when Atlas, Jerome and Michael returned to Dekker Street Station after encountering a Black Tree in the steam tunnels while investigating the disappearance of William Sandoval. Dominic was recovering with the Wardens after assisting them in some aggressive reconnaissance of the pit below the Goodwill. He accompanied the pack when they carried out a Rite of Accomplishment and accepted the three nuzusul as full members of the People, though there was some tension between him and Jack due to the events of the Nights of the Broken Moon.
He later appeared at the Winter Moot, where he called on tribal bonds to defuse a moment of potential violence when Bloody-Fingered Jenny attempted to stir chaos between Atlas and Baishan Kensas [1]. Michael later talked to him about joining the Blood Talons and Dominic offered his support [2].
Connections
- An old friend of Morrigan and fellow survivor of the Nights of the Broken Moon. Did not join her new pack due to Jack Crow's bad blood with Blood Talons.
- Resents Neil McCracken for his crusades weakening the People and allowing vampires to kill his pack.
- Has underworld connections with, especially with the Irish mob, who know him as someone willing to break people for a good cause and a decent pay-cheque.
