Setting
The Tribe is based out of the Ukraine and has an unhealthy rivalry with the Silver Fangs. They desire to lead the Garou Nation, a role currently held by the Silver Fangs. They search for ways to take over leadership; this has caused them to form a political Camp called the Western Concordat of Stars; its Eastern counterpart in Europe was simply dubbed the Concordat of Stars and is mostly Shadow Lords, Stargazers, and Children of Gaia. The Bone Gnawers and Glass Walkers were convinced to join the Western Concordat by the Shadow Lords. This split the Garou Nation in half politically between the Concordat of Stars led by the Shadow Lords and the Sanctum of Gaia led by the Silver Fangs.

The Shadow Lords Margrave, Yuri Konietzko organizes the Shadow Lords very strictly. He runs the other Elders directly, guiding them to guide the tribe to manipulate the humans to an end goal, a goal that Yuri has not disclosed fully to the tribe at large. The Shadow Lords are usually master manipulators, socialites, and more often than not fully capable of dealing with humans with little effort though the curse of rage is still something they must deal with. They are skilled in these areas more so than most other tribes, save maybe Glass Walkers and Bone Gnawers who have very different ideals on how to use these gifts.

The Hakken
While the Shadow Lords are well known to be willing to use any methods to get a job done, their sibling, so to speak, the Hakken couldn’t be any different. They follow the code of Bushido, which is about honor, honesty, bravery, and the methods of war that fit them. They couldn’t be any different from the standard Shadow Lords. They still revere Grandfather Thunder, although they refer to him as Raiden or one of the many other terms for the God of Thunder. They refer to the spirits often as Kami and are part of the Emerald Courts. They occasionally venture out into the world on behalf of the courts but they act mostly as its defenders, alongside the Khan whom they have a hard time getting along with when they are not fighting mutual enemies.

Silver Fangs and the Shadow Lords
The Silver Fangs and the Shadow Lords are constantly on edge as enemies; as a whole. Individuals have been allies, enemies, friends, and/or lovers. They have a hard time not putting this view on in public, though in private both tribes understand they need each other even if they disagree with who should be leading anything from the Garou Nation all the way down to Septs and Packs.
