The Howlers

Howlers · wolfcloaks

Darrow's elite band of wolfcloaked warriors, now the shock troops of the Sons of Ares under Sevro.

Story so far

The Howlers, the wolfcloaked band Darrow forged at the Institute, endure as the elite of the Sons of Ares. Led now by Sevro in his father's Ares helm, they fly on gravBoots with miniguns and pulseFists, and it was they who rose out of the clawDrill tunnel to catch the falling Darrow, Victra, and Holiday over the city of Attica. When Sevro told them the Reaper was a Red, they didn't bat an eye—they came at once to fetch his family.

Survivors reuniting with Darrow at Tinos include plump, sweet Pebble and the theatrical Clown, alongside Ragnar and the mentioned Screwface and Weed; the turncoat Thistle betrayed them to the Jackal. Many wear black wolfcloaks over pulse armor.
