Just a idea I had about what would a werewolf who 
went totally courupt, but had no interest in serving 
the recongners do with his time.

The Kingdom:
A pyramid scheme for werewolves, a con artist by the 
name of Raymond Carn got bitten several years back 
and came to terms with his condition. Rather then 
live like a wild man stalking down human prey until 
some idealistic hero with silver bullets guns him 
down, Carn chose to live in luxury and surround 
himself with easier targets.

Carn is now known as the Reverend Carn, the public 
spiritual guide of the town of Hope, and the alpha 
male of the werewolf pack that consists of the entire 
population. Since Hope is out in the middle of no 
where it gets little visitors, it had a reputation of 
being unfriendly to visitors, if hostility fails to 
discourage outsiders, trumped up charges and a few 
nights in jail usually drives them off. 

Carn has come up with a simple plan to prevent being 
challenged for control of his pack, prospective 
challengers are killed off in human form by the 
sheriff and his deputies, Carn’s personal thugs, or 
trained to travel to the nearest town and take it 
over the same way Carn controls Hope.

Each “Missionary” follows a simple plan, find the 
local group of thugs, kill the leaders and infect the 
rest. Kill off the local holy man and take his place. 
After the first full moon most of the thugs are 
willing to follow the new preacher man’s orders, the 
rest are dog chow. In rabid order the town bad boys 
become reformed men and pillars of the community, 
soon other leading figures then the whole town joins 
the pack, if facing serious resistance, the 
Missionary can call for help from other nearby towns 
already taken over or hope itself.

Each town infected is the source for further 
infections, in time a large portion of a whole 
territory might become infected, and with control of 
a whole potential new state Carn may soon have 
political powers under his control. 

Carn has taken a serious dislike to other 
supernatural creatures, Harrowed, Arcane backgrounds, 
and even other Horrors are killed on sight with no 
attempts to recruit or warn off. 

The Kingdom can’t last forever, and Carn knows it. 
Each infected town sends a tithe of money to Hope for 
Carn to buy the weapons that will be needed when the 
Agency or Rangers moves in, but Carn has been 
secretly siphoning off the majority of the money to a 
bank back east while buying up obsolete defective 
weapons. If investigators start nosing around in Hope 
itself, Carn will take it as the warning sign he’s 
been waiting for and sneak off for the east while his 
followers take care of the posse.
