Father Mal is an Irish expat, as well as a Fianna Metis. In his early thirties, he's just about six feet tall, with a trim athletic build. He has husky voice, a thrum reminiscent of whiskey and cigarett9'es, and is a rather fine singer, at least by the standards of belting out a hymn. He dresses in comfortable clothes suited for working, always wearing workboots, and is never seen without his mirrored sunglasses. Only a handful of people have ever seen his eyes and of those that are still alive, they're all in Ireland.

He's the parish priest of St. Jude's church, a fine old building much the worse for wear that had lain in a dilapidated in a rather rough neighbourhood for several years before he came along.

He was given the name The-Dog-That-Guards-The-Sheep as an insult but he's taken to it, going by Sheepdog for short. Being a Catholic isn't that hard for him, he was already brought up believing that he was cursed by the sins of his ancestors, a lowly sinner unworthy of grace and glory except to seek salvation through sacrifice and duty. All the pain, the humiliation and despair that he gets through is just his Cross to carry, and means less time in Purgatory. Even the prospect of dying violently in the good fight just means making the Garou Nation and the Lord proud.

There are some clashes between his two creeds, though he's faithful to both Gaia and God, but he's found that an awful lot of what Garou and Christians consider sacred is a mix of their own conveniences and prejudices rather than the true Law. Fortunately, protecting his flock, among the most downtrodden and the broken, is what he was born to do, and he's a damn good Sheepdog.
