Professor Warner's commentary:

Once a name bright with dreams, Iolani Darkmoon stains the reputation of all Kinfolk. Daughter of an Uktena Theurge, Iolani attended the University of Hawai'i to study anthropology; there, she meet and married an Ahroun named Kawika Nahelan. For a time, they were happy. Both Iolani and Kawika become heavily involved in a Hawai'ian independence movement; the struggle for freedom and autonomy against the haole, though, was an uphill battle. The couple and their group experienced more defeats than victories. Then, just after Iolani found herself pregnant, Kawika's family died in a plane crash on Kauai. When the local sept found evidence of Pentex involvement, the Ahroun experienced bouts of insanity and Harano. Then, his stormy anger fell on Iolani. First came verbal abuses, then the physical. Iolani lost her child when she "fell" down a flight of steps.

Iolani wanted to run away, but she had no money and nowhere to go; her surviving relatives had long since gone to the Pacific Northwest. No one in Kawika's sept dared aid her, for they feared his wrath. She suffered in silence for several years, a shadow of her former self. But when Kawika savagely raped her and she became pregnant again, something inside Iolani snapped. She determined that she would have the worst possible revenge on the man she'd once loved.

Iolani knew Black Spirals sought discontented Kinfolk, and she walked into the Wyrm's clutches with her eyes fully open. It wasn't a challenge to make contact at the nearest Pentex subsidary. One of the directors there provided her with a hiding place from the Uktena, in exchange for Iolani signing away the life of her own child (seen by a Black Spiral Theurge to be Garou, like his father).

All this happened some years ago...and Iolani's son is just approaching puberty. In her own madness, she revels that he'll soon fall into darkness, prehaps to destroy his own father. Any tribe, but especially the Uktena, would pay dearly to have Iolani brought to justice.

Once a beautiful woman of Hawai'ian ancestry, Iolani, by last account, now wears a haunted look. Her dark eyes are always shadowed, and she is thin and wan. Perhaps she'll relent from her path before her son is consecrated to the Wyrm, but hope doesn't spring eternal in this woman's heart.
