Snake Bow
When activated, each attack deals an additional point of aggravated damage, in the form of a venom or poison. Even if the character is normally immune to poisons or venom he will still take an extra point of aggravated damage. the only time the point isn't added is when the original damage is soaked.
Eye of night
A circular disk in form. When thrown into the air the disc will reach it's apex and hover over the owners head. At night the disc will emit a light that has a chance to blind enemies(Wits + Alertness, difficulty 7), but it also serves to light up a large area. In the daytime the disc is activate the same way, but it instead soaks up all the suns rays and creates a wide area of shade that reduces all stamina rolls by 2 difficulty.
Both of these Fetishes were gifts from his former Sept, thanking him for the sacrifice he was making by going to another Sept. While not the most powerful they provide Shadow with more than he need to fulfill a fighting role. Shadow is skilled with a bow and the Eye of Night has many uses, not just combat.

Re: WW: Speaks-With-Shadows
Speaks-With-Shadows was born a Grey Wolf to a small pack in the mountains of Montana. As a young cub his Garou heritage showed in many ways, one of them being his ability to see and talk to spirits. The other wolves paid little attention to his "ghost stories" and gave him the name Speaks-With-Shadows. As he grew up he quickly reached the weight of 175 pounds, which is much larger than even the Alpha wolf of his pack. Shadows First Change was on of violence and blood, the spirits he so commonly talked to warned him of approaching hunters, armed to the teeth to hunt the innocent wolves down. Shadow rushed away to his pack but came to late, the wolves he had grown up with had been slaughtered and the hunters surround Shadow to finish the job. Panicked and filled with rage, Shadow transformed and tore the hunters apart leaving none alive.
As he came down from the frenzy other wolves came out of the forest and surrounded him.He soon noticed his new larger form and looked at his bloody claws in horror, he had no idea what had happened and was still scared, fearing these wolves were here to kill him. To his surprise they talked to him and asked him to be calm, they were here to help and explain. They asked him to try and shift back into a normal wolf and follow them, that his old life was over. He focused on his old form and shifted back into a normal wolf and the others explained to him what he was, and as their explanation ended he gave them a quick run-down of his life.They were surprised his gift manifested so early but agreed that the name he was given was more than appropriate for a Theurge. As they reached the Sept they explained what he had to go through before he was considered a full fledged Garou, he knew that it would be hard, not naturally knowing how to read or write and having a lack of knowledge. But he accepted having found new purpose in his life, and happily took to study
With his new purpose in mind he took to his studies. After much hardship he learned to read and write and began his studies of the Umbra, and the mystery's it held. When it came to study the methods of war he picked up on archery, his sharp eyes seeing anything and everything that moved. But he felt a void when it came to hand-to-hand combat, he could fight well, as all wolves could, but he was fighting like a wolf not a Garou. He began asking the elder Ahrouns, fighters of the highest degree why he felt this way. One decided to explain to him what Kailindo was and it's concept. Shadow asked him who could tech him such a skill and the Elder pointed him toward the mountain, telling him of an Old Garou who was a master, but took few students.
Shadow asked his teacher if he could go and seek out this Master and train under him, his teacher accepted but warned him that it would post-pone his Rite of Passage. He agreed to the conditions and went deep into the mountains to search for this Hermit elder. As he took refuge in a cave he found the elder sitting in Homid form eating a rabbit, Shadow approached the Hermit and pleaded to him his case. The Hermit just sat there eating while he talked and as soon as he finished the Hermit asked him of what Auspice he belonged, Shadow replied Theurge and the Hermit looked at him strangely. The Hermit sat there in contemplation and soon agreed to teach him. The Hermit said the only reason he was teaching him was because with his low rage, Shadow could properly learn Kailindo, without rage blinding him every step of the way.
The next day his training began and for the next 6 months Shadow was pushed to his limits, every day he went to sleep tired and woke up with new bruises. Some days all they would do was shift forms and other days they would sit in meditation. But Shadow was not discouraged, he remained calm throughout the training. His master said to him one day that the mark of a true Kailindo master was serenity. Shadow kept this idea in his head throughout the training and never fell for his Masters tricks to send him into a Frenzy. As he reached the six month mark he had reached his second rank in Kailindo and his master was pleased, but soon he made a decision that Shadow questions to this day. He took a new student named George Harding, a Homid Philidox with an ego bigger than his mouth. George made more than a few comments about him being a mangy mut and how there was no way he could surpass him. Shadow just remained calm and remembered his training.
As Shadow reached the one year anniversary of his training and attained yet another rank George enacted a plan that must have been in the making for months. George ambushed his master during a personnel session between him and Shadow, striking his master down with a cursed Klaive. George howled in delight at what he had done and screamed at Shadow that he was the master now. Shadow stood there in shock, as George laughed exclaiming that the Black Spiral Dancers would be happy to know a Kailindo master was dead. Shadow was to shocked to move and watched George shift into Crinos howl an evil howl and run off saying that one day he would be next.
Shadow burned his masters body on a pyre, as he was proper for might warriors. Shadow stayed at the cave for three more days morning his masters loss. As the end of the third day came he descended the mountain a "Tornado" or Guardian to those who were not Kailindo practitioners. As he entered the Sept many young cubs looked at him with awe, as they had not heard from him in over a year. Shadow approached the Elder Theurge and asked to begin his training again, the Theurge could sense something was wrong but didn't say anything letting Shadow handle his own pain in sorrow. For yet another year Shadow trained, this time in the art of a Theurge, learning the necessary rites to call,bind and awaken the spirits. Whenever it came time for combat training Shadow was always the winner, the others just couldn't compete with his style of fighting, but he refused to teach them, stating he wasn't a master and was not ready to teach.
As he completed his training and began preparing for his Rite of Passage a call came from a far away Sept. They asked for help as they expected they would soon be facing an overwhelming Wyrm threat and needed any help other Septs could provide. Shadow was one of the first to volunteer to go and help this foreign Sept, the elders warned him that he may not return for a very long time and that if he did he wouldn't be his proper rank. Shadow accepted these consequences thinking only of George and his betrayal. To Shadow it was very clear that if the Wyrm was going to attack another Sept, there was a good chance that the Black Spiral Dancers would be involved and then he could finish what George started.
