Peter Montoya

Peter does not who his parents are since he has lived his whole life in foster care, and does not know who they are, why they left him to the foster system, or if they are even alive. it is either because of this or because of him being a Silent Strider that he has always felt left out and longs for a place to call his home and people to call family. Once he had gotten to college he had decided to be a private investigator to help those who are missing and to help gain skills to find his parents.

During college, Peter had gone to a party and in an attempt to impress a girl had gotten himself drunk. When he had woken up the next day in the woods he had no recollection of the previous night but was aware that he had changed into some type of monster thing. Luckily for him when he woke up he was not alone as a lady named Greta Cole was there with him. She explained that she was a professor at the college and had been watching him for some time since she had a feeling that Peter was a wolf and had interfered at the party at the last minute to help get the drunk Crinos out of the party and had explained what had happened. From this point on she started to be a mentor to Peter explaining things to him and helping him along the way though she still wants him to learn things on his own.

Ghost Sight (4 Trait Merit) -- Silent Strider Only. This merit is identical to the Medium merit (see below) while also providing additional insight into the land of the dead. You are subject to occasional, uncontrolled flashes of vision into the Dark Umbra at ST discretion. This typically occurs when something significant is present there, such as a strong or watchful ghost, or in places that are inherently significant to the dead. In addition, you may attempt to do this willfully by making a gnosis challenge (difficulty 8) to effectively peek across the Shroud. This allows you to potentially see ghosts that are hiding beyond the Shroud, as well as see detailed scenes and events that are occurring in the Shadowlands. 

Forced Transformation (1 to 5 Trait Flaw) Some substance or situation forces you to change forms -- only by spending a Willpower Trait can you avoid shifting. Choose a trigger, and the shape you take. One Trait is an uncommon trigger that forces you into a not-too-inconvenient shape, such as being forced into Glabro when you're drunk. 2 point crinos when drunk

Curiosity (2 Trait Flaw) You just have to know. Mysteries and puzzles pull you in and don't let go. In order to avoid a temptation to investigate a new mystery, you must either spend a Willpower, or win a static Mental Challenge against a number of Traits determined by the Storyteller.
