	Spirits are everywhere. They define and promote aspects of existence and do so to monomaniacal fixation. They are NOT good guys, and even spirits of things like Joy or Love are dangerous if they're left to their own devices due to their complete disregard of anything not directly relating to their nature; for example, a Love spirit might force a couple in an abusive relationship to stay together, because to the spirit, the fact that the love is harmful to one or both persons is less important than that said love (small and twisted as it might be) would be lost if they were to separate. The nature of the Forsaken's oath to Mother Luna compels them to guard humanity from their influence, and many spirits hate them for it.		Spirits are everywhere.

	Most spirits feed off of Essence that is linked to the concept they embody, typically by consuming other spirits. By doing so, they may begin to change to reflect the nature of their former prey. If a new influence it picks up in this way is completely unrelated to its fundamental nature or makes no sense when combined with said fundamental nature (e.g. a wolf spirit that consumed a fear spirit would start focusing on how scary wolves are, but a car spirit that consumed a holly spirit would not be able to handle the new influence), they become a ''magath'', a confused abomination that doesn't know what the hell it's supposed to be anymore. These are almost always insane or destructive by nature, and most ultimately need to be put out of their misery by the Forsaken.

	Unfortunately for the Forsaken, the Pure are a lot more common than they are. Also, because they favour spirits over humans, ''they'' are in the good books of most spirits, meaning they get a lot more spiritual backup in the form of gifts and allies. About the only thing the Forsaken have going for them is the distant and unreliable support of Luna, and the fact that their repentance has earned the Forsaken a minor reprieve from Luna's curse of silver's bane. Silver weapons do Aggravated damage to them, but otherwise the Forsaken can handle silver without any problem. The Pure, on the other hand, start burning if they so much as ''touch'' the stuff.

This is about as painful as you might expect it to be, and strips them of their Auspice. Which also brings the iconic Pure vulnerability to silver.

			Take the [[Red Talons (Werewolf)\|Red Talons]], remove even the possibility they could be interpreted as protagonists, and you have the Predator Kings in a nutshell. Apart from their oath, the only law they recognize is the law of the jungle: the strong live, and the weak die. Though their oath makes it all but impossible for them to live among human society, their contempt for civilization means they couldn't care less about such things anyway.

Worryingly, their belief that Pangaea might be restored through savage revelry might be true; their hunts have been known to change the relationship between the Flesh and the Shadow in the past. Ironically, they get along better with the Forsaken than either of the other Pure tribes. After all, as evil Nietzschean assholes, they love worthy enemies that make them strong. Now if only they'd stop interfering with their grand design to recreate Pangaea and pretending those useless prey-animal hominids are fit for anything but slaughter...

	Their Totem, Huzuruth-Ur, is the eldest of the Firstborn and the bitterest by far. According to the Forsaken, he merely scoffed at Father Wolf's death, believing that anything weak enough to be slain by its own children was unworthy of being mourned over; he turned from the Forsaken only because their actions had created the Gauntlet and brought an end to Pangaea. The Predator Kings do not deny this story; they merely ask why the Forsaken would disagree with Huzuruth-Ur.		Their Totem, Huzuruth-Ur, is the eldest of the Firstborn and the bitterest by far.
