Setting
Of the Three Brothers the Uktena were the most talented, not because of power and wisdom, but because they made allies in places where other Garou dare not. They took the wisdom of the Wyrm and turned it against the Corrupt Wyrm. They took wisdom learned from the Fera and augmented their knowledge. They spread across the globe like few of the Purelanders dared making friends of Bunyip and fera of Australia, treating with the Beast Courts of Asia, and the Fera of South America and Africa’s Ahadi Alliance which was most recently done.

The Uktena are known to imprison banes in the Umbra, locking them in place so they cannot cause trouble, and not escape from Malfeas and other wyrm realms again. These Bane Tenders are an almost lost number among the Uktena who favor allying with the Weaver to get the Wyrm beaten back, knowing that the Wyld is too weak at the moment to stand up to a full assault against the Wyrm.

They are still close to their Sibling Tribe the Wendigo, regardless of the political and even spiritual differences; they are still brothers and though they may quarrel they are still allies through thick and thin.

Fera of South America
During the War of Tears era, from the 1400s to 1800s the Invasion of the European Garou to the Purelands was a big problem. The Uktena aided the Mokole and Bastet against these invading Garou, proving themselves invaluable allies. Though they inevitably lost many key locations, this alliance did prove to cement the Uktena’s free reign to travel through South America unmolested.

Uktena and the Bunyip With the loss of the Bunyip, the shared Kin of the Uktena and Bunyip had none but the Mokole left as allies and the Uktena themselves, but the Uktena had lost most of their caerns to the European Garou. The Uktena took over the Bunyip’s sacred lands, protecting them as the Bunyip had, and took up their caerns as well. Due to this most Uktena in the modern day are either Native American or Aboriginal Australian, with mixed blood of those two, often hispanic for the Native Americans and European for the Aboriginal Australians. As such they are one of most ethnically diverse groups of Garou in existence and have interbred with nearly every Fera but the Rokea, who are strangely protective of their kin in this regard.

The caerns of Australia are almost all under the care of the Uktena, new seeds planted in place of the ones lost during the Caern Plague of 2012.
