moil. Unlike many of the packs in the area, though, she
refused to rebuild her pack’s ranks with werewolves from
other tribes. What’s more, Snow believes that the only
way for werewolves to truly reclaim the ancient powers lost
after the murder of Father Wolf is by constant conflict and
testing. Personal strength is key. Strength of the pack or
tribe is also important, but a warrior’s true strength comes
from victory by any means. She finds Roman’s plans for an
alliance of Uratha to be naïve at best, and a self-destructive
fool’s delusion at worst. She supported the cooperative
effort against Gurdilag and its agents out of necessity, but
talk of long-term, idealistic alliances and treaties makes
her instincts rebel. She and Roman have had numerous
“discussions” on the matter, and only their common belief
in the Oath of the Moon has kept them from ripping each
other’s throat out during the few times the two are willing
to meet in person.
The Echoes of Thunder pack also includes four other
Storm Lords. Crash of Thunder (aka Crash the Younger)
is a Rahu, Marla Price is a Cahalith, Sergei Quiet Steel is
an Irraka, and Lightning Ferrara is an Ithaeur. The pack’s
totem is Wolf that Strikes Alone.

Rachel Snow comes from a long and distinguished
line of American Storm Lords. She originally hails from
Colorado Springs, and her extended kinfolk family is very
involved with the various defense industries that make their
homes in Colorado. (Some locals joke that for every bomb
that exploded over Iraq in both Gulf Wars, the Snows got a
thousand dollars.) While they don’t own any major defense
contractors such as Boeing or Martin Marietta, companies
owned by the Snows provide parts and services to all of
them. Rachel fervently believes in personal responsibility and
hates the thought of owing anything to anyone. For years,
she led expeditions into the territories surrounding Denver
to perform precision strikes on the agents of Gurdilag who
operated there and keep the usurpation from spreading. Her
experience and intelligence made the Echoes of Thunder
invaluable to Roman’s war effort. She strongly supported the
group effort to retake Denver, which has made her refusal to
back Roman’s efforts to create inter-tribal alliances feel like a
betrayal (from his perspective). She maintains that she never
supported anything other than the conflict itself. In fact, the
conflict between the Uratha who survived the battle will, in
turn, make those survivors better warriors. Since the re-taking
of Denver, her pack continues to seek out conflicts, and
when necessary, instigate them. She has quietly encouraged
both sides in conflicts and richly rewarded the victors.
The Snow family, an extended clan with Storm
Lord blood flowing through it, has branches from all
over the globe. Rachel hails from a branch with strong
ties to South America. She has olive skin with dark eyes
and hair that’s cut short (so as not to provide a handhold
