Ragabash

The New Moon: The Trickster

Annoying as he may be, the trickster is the bringer of wisdom to those who believe themselves wise. A Ragabash not only reveals that the emperor has no clothes -- he dumps the pretentious snot in a puddle of mud as a lesson for other would-be kings. By undermining tradition and authority at every turn, the Ragabash keeps his fellows on their toes, teaching them the folly of self-importance and the wisdom of humility. Ironically, the trickster brings order with disorder. His pranks highlight the cracks in the sidewalk over which his pack mates would otherwise trip.

Though the other Garou expect mischief from the Ragabash, they don't often appreciate it. The tricksters are tolerated but never really trusted. Ragabash tend to be fairly bizarre individuals, their pack mates don't even try to understand them. Their accepted path allows them a freedom that few Garou enjoy. New Moons are flexible, and that flexibility is their strength.

Like the fools of medieval European courts, Ragabash are considered necessary nuisances and given pretty free rein. This is not to say that tricksters have no bounds; the Litany is Sacred Law, even to the children of the New Moon. Still, elders often look the other way while the tricksters work their pranks, trusting the innate wisdom of Luna to guide them. All the same, the Ragabash had better watch his back, Ahroun are not known for their sense of humor.

Stereotype: Although the role of the clown is accepted, it carries little respect. Other Garou remain wary of the Trickster, even when he's trying to be serious. Tricksters born beneath the waxing moon have a light, comic touch, while the humor of waning moon Ragabash assumes a darker cast. Although Ragabash are usually dismissed as slapstick pranksters, their jests range from the comical to the surreal, leaving less sophisticated Garou scratching behind their ears in bafflement. Ragabash are enigmatic, hidden like their auspice moon, and they like it that way.
