Oog van de Wereld

Mourad "Oog van de Wereld" Osmanoğlu
Homid	Philodox	Shadowlords

The Story so Far:

Mourad is a Shadow Lord Philodox of Half-Turkish, Half-Dutch descent from the legendary Ashina dynasty, mostly found today in the Garou branches of the Osmanoğlu family. Mourad was born in Ankara to the Shadow Lord Cemal "Sultan" Osmanoğlu, Homid, Ahroun, Shadow Lord, Adren and his mother, a Dutch Kinfolk from Delft. It was revealed from the moment of Mourad's birth under the Waning Moon through a Rite of Baptism of Fire that he was to be a Garou and thus he was groomed as such from an early age. His First Change, however, did not occur until the start of the Age of Apocalypse, when the Dark Brigades fell upon and broke the Sept of Istanbul. It was the sight of the armies of the Wyrm, raging across the Umbra, that sent Mourad into his first frenzy.

Once Istanbul had fallen, the Sept was shattered beyond repair. His father took his own with him and took to becoming a warband, a wandering pack not sworn to a Sept Alpha. He needed a place to keep his son safe and decided to allow him to go the Bluepelt Sept, the Sept that protected his wife's hometown and that had survived the initial impact of the Age of Apocalypse. Mourad had been pushing for this since even before his first change, since he preferred his human "matties" in Delft over the dour and serious company of the Turkish Garou. Mourad arrived in Delft in April 2017 by plane and took up residence in one of his father's prime vacant real estate homes in the Binnenstad.

He was taught his final lessons in the ways of the Garou, which came more naturally now that he actually possessed the full body and mind of one, by Call to Duty and John "Rises Again" Blackfoot. After the many lessons, he was given a Rite of Passage: he was to compensate for the reputation loss suffered by the Bluepelt Sept after Open Deur negotiated a deal with a Vampire known as the [[Nachtchirurgijn] and Guiding Hand spread dark tidings of this dead across the Garou Nation. Mourad travelled from the Great Septs of America to those of Russia and many in between, hearing many tales of the Litany and this deed's relationship to it. He left both good and less good impressions in high places and eventually managed to convince an Elder Philodox of the Silent Striders, "Het Geloof," to vouch openly for the honour and justice of the Sept's deed, provided that the Sept proved its continuing enmity towards Vampires in the near future. When within less than a few months the Vampire known as the Kindermaker was vanquished by the Sept, the agreement came into full effect. Mourad had restored this part of the reputation of Bluepelt in the eyes of the world. "Oog van de Wereld" was thus to be his name.

As soon as Oog van de Wereld had become a Cliath, he immediately began to form his own Pack. Even before his Rite of Passage he had been paying tribute and chiminage to Torenkraai, a Storm Crow spirit, with the ambition of taking it as his Totem when the time came. His preparation paid off and within a week after their Rites of Passage, Oog van de Wereld, Diepste Dal and Vuurproef formed the Pack Corvus, with Oog van de Wereld as its Alpha. The pack busied itself with keeping a watchful eye on the happenings of Delft on both sides of the Gauntlet, to prepare long-term knowledge to sharpen the Garou's short-term power. When the Dire Wolves, in their final moons, let Tanthof slip into Wyrm corruption under their protection, Oog van de Wereld drove a knife into his stomach to punish himself for his own inaction, then accused Nekbreker, the Elder Philodox and a member of the Pack, of not adequately preventing the breeding of the Wyrm and thereby showing a less thorough practice of the Litany; he Challenged for the position of Elder Philodox. The Challenge, which involved slaying a Fomor in Tanthof, was won (barely) by Oog van de Wereld, who became the new Elder Philodox.
