This guy was going to be the first big bad of my Green Star PbP. Since that's unfortunately no longer going to happen, I thought it would be fun to post him up, so my players could get a look at Earth-G's 'Magneto' stand-in...
What follows is:
the Angel of Wolves and his two
ectowolves; his second-in-command
Brutus; his generic
Kinfolk human underlings, his trio of secret weapons (
Mite,
Mote and
Mute) and the alien-built AI
Rumpelstiltkin.

Complications:
A Homosexual in Medieval Europe
Sadly, homophobia was rampant in this era, and, unless you were powerful (or had powerful friends), it could easily get you killed.
Angry, Always Angry
Superhuman Supremacist
"New gods are here. Bow low."
Quote: "The time of priests and kings is done. The Age of the Green Star is at hand!"
Notes: 'Ninja Run' is a feat from
Mecha & Manga.
---/::This is a completed Angel of Wolves build.
The Angel of Wolves' real name is Daniel of Sherwood.
Mite and Mote, on loan from Mute, are always somewhere nearby.
Sandman is usually near at hand, too.
The Kinfolk are a cult of several hundred peasants, serfs and outlaws---the lowest rungs of medieval society!---that worship Starbeasts and Starborn as reincarnate pagan gods.
There's some small amount of overlap between the Angel of Wolves' Kinfolk and the mad cultists of
One-eyed Wotan, but this is tangential, at best.
ectowolves of the Angel of Wolves: Summon Minion 10.
Background Writeup (himself): Here!
Background Writeup (the Kinfolk):
Theme Song: “Battery” by Metallica.
The Angel of Wolves’ ectowolves are psychic (focused on telepathy). The Angel of Wolves’ ectowolves are thoughtforms.
PL9/140pp. (Cannibalistic thoughtform that generates telepathic power via the consumption of living human beings [evil].)

Super-Movement 1 (air-walking; Flaws: Linked [to Transubstantiated Thoughtform Insubstantial]). (1pp.) --- (17pp.)
Drawbacks: n/a. (-0pp.)
Complications:
HUNGRY, FEED
OBEY MASTER
Ectowolves blindly follow the Angel of Wolves; this can be used against them.
PROTECT MASTER
This protective instinct overrides the desire to obey, even should the Angel of Wolves wish otherwise. They will act on their own accord to 'protect' their creator. Given that they're created by a vengeful sociopath, this 'protection' is often
exceedingly gory...!
Notes: 'Demonic Glare' is a feat from
Mecha & Manga.
---/::This is a completed ectowolf Minion build.
When the ectowolves are being Boosted by the Travelers' chemical-augments, change the above template in this fashion:
Add the following power:
Dazzle 1 (sight only). [1pp.]
Cannibalistic Omnitelepathic Empowerment Variable Power goes from 5 ranks to 8 ranks.
Cannibalistic Telepathic Empowerment Boost goes from 12 ranks 15 ranks.
And that's it!
The more death and suffering they cause, the stronger the ectowolves' master becomes telepathically. As this build represents two different ectowolves, each can apply their Boost and Variable Power powers to different things, giving the Angel of Wolves some incredible flexibility...
The memetic cores---souls---of those slain by these two ectowolves cling near the bloody jaws of their murderers, shrouding their heads in a black, tarry smoke. (Somehow, this smoke never impedes their vision, nor coat over the blood spattered all over their snouts.) These ghosts shriek piteously, begging for release, inspiring terror in all who behold them.
Note, please, that while ectowolves are quadrupeds, they do have hands.

believe, and they’re
obsessed with what they perceive as The Truth. They feel
compelled to spread The Truth...and, denying the God of the Bible in medieval Europe is
dangerous!

In addition to Brutus, several other Starbeasts and Starborn serve the Angel of Wolves:
The Gate of Seven Swords.
Mute, and, by default,
Mite and
Mote.
Sandman.
’The Travelers’—-mentioned several times in the above post—-are not the Romani! Rather, innthe case of the Angel of Wolves and the ever-loyal Kinfolk, ‘the Travelers’ are literally aliens—-enemies of the Great Imperium who wish to see superhumanity prosper. Long ago, these Travelers trades with the hero-citizens of At-Lan-Tuu, and they greatly wish that ancient period of prosperity to return.
