Shadowlords have always been present in Delft. The most infamous one was a Ahroun from the east, known as Pawnbreaker. Like a real Shadowlord, dressed in black, and like a real Ahroun armed with a impressive long sword.
Rumors has it that he was a mercenary in rebuilding Bosnia, a man for hire willing to do the dirtiest deeds if the pay was right. He had (and still has) a grand reputation for a very high 'problem solving' ratio, using guerilla tactics and out of the box thinking to get the work done. He fled the country after a very high-profile bombing.
Pawnbreaker came to Delft in the company of the Flaming Fist, one month after the restart of the Bluepelt Sept. He immediately attempted to gain (political) power. At this time the most of the strings in the Sept where in the claws of The Fangs of Valour. But now they where facing a Shadowlord who claimed his part . And Pawnbreaker was not afraid for the confrontation with these Get of Fenris.
Pawnbreaker understood that he needed "friends" to get what he wanted, so he formed his own pack. And so the Wanderers of Twilight where born. A pack of only Shadowlords, led by the man himself. Now that he had formed his pack Pawnbreaker started his political power career. He made friends with the other Garou in the Sept and created a network in the mortal world. Although most Garou did not like him at all and some even hated him, Pawnbreaker was gaining much power. Someway he was always able to turn the situation in a way that it would benefit him. A perfect example of this is the way that he became Alpha of the Sept. It was moot, and Pawnbreaker had the position of Beta. That night he was challenged for this Beta position by the very popular Fianna Sean 'o' Neill. The Fianna and the Shadowlord fought for the position, and the Fianna won. The Sept cheered and celebrated, that nasty Pawnbreaker was no longer Beta! So far so good. But lather that night, the Alpha of the Sept left and did not have the intention of returning soon. The Sept needed a new Alpha. Nobody knows how, but at the end of the night Pawnbreaker had lost his Beta position but became the new Alpha.
It is just one example of Pawnbreakers skill; there are many more examples. It is said that he even got away with dealing with the Wyrm, but nobody knows if that is true.
Pawnbreakers career ended when a number of smaller facts collided. The biggest was the leaking of his dealings with the Wyrm in his bid for power. It was documented on video how he discussed his underworld affairs with a well-known vampire. Second were his eternal struggles with the new Shadowlord called Dies-Last Dawnstalker, another Garou with political ambition. He now got real opposition in his own tribe. In trying to solve this situation, Pawnbreaker asked a Shadowlord minion to 'take care of the problem', which, of course, was leaked and cost him face. Combined, he received such a reputation in the Sept that almost nobody wanted to have something to do with him. Pawnbreaker knew it, it was done, the story was over.
He left, probably back to eastern Europe, nobody is missing so far.
