The Howlers

the pack

Sevro's elite wolf-cloaked strike unit, born at the Institute, now Darrow's bodyguards.

Story so far

The Howlers are the wolf-cloaked band of elite soldiers Sevro founded at the Institute and led through every war of the Rising. Once many, they are now a mangy, dwindled pack—Darrow's drunken bodyguards on Luna, kept in rough order by Holiday ti Nakamura. Marked by their wolfcloaks and their howls in the drop tubes, they include veterans across Colors and count Sevro's fallen among their number.

They followed Darrow to Mercury and back, their thinned ranks a standing testament to the war's cost.
