The Ivory Claws, called Tzuumfin in the First Tongue, are the devotees of Silver Wolf and are obsessed with purity of lineage. They believe that the heritage of Father Wolf lies in the blood, and from that they might build a new Pangaea. Through immaculate records of descent and inheritance, the Ivory Claws track the ebb and flow of all manner of supernatural taint through the human population, and cull and prune where they see fit. Those who do not honor their lineage are the sacred prey of the tribe — which, by most Ivory Claw definitions, includes all of the Forsaken.

To hunt the Ivory Claws is to hunt a wealthy foe that wields humanity as a weapon, drawing on human resources and organizations to fight the Forsaken by proxy. The tribe aggressively hunts for nuzusul and Wolf-Blooded in Forsaken territory, tearing such prizes away from the grasp of the Urdaga. Worse, Silver Wolf’s followers are masters of pain and blood, using elaborate rituals to tap into the full potential of the Great Wolf’s inheritance. Some claim that the Ivory Claws practice cannibalism like Hosts, consuming the Essence of other Uratha for power. Their tapestry of bloodlines aims to cultivate a new, superior Uratha species through breeding a messianic figure.

Ivory Claws are comparatively rare in Paradi. Their obsession with genealogy and purity has led to some unorthodox experimentation among the tribe as they seek to perfect themselves. They're not shy about experimenting on their Wolf-Blooded relatives as well, or for a clinical trial, on captured Blooded from Forsaken packs. They don't see it as evil either; by using such in their quest for perfection, they uplift the soul of the hapless Wolf-Blood and bring their spirit closer to the ideal as well.

The Tzuumfin are well-entrenched in the tech markets and especially in the medical fields. They don't see Paradi as a blight, like the Predator Kings do, but as a hunting ground filled with potential. They wage shadow wars like governments do, striking from secret after collecting intel on their targets. The Forsaken are often their chosen prey but the Claws hunt anyone or anything who stands against them. They're dangerous, as any werewolf is, but their hunting grounds also bring them into conflict with the city's undead more frequently. As a result, the Ivory Claws don't have as much time to dedicate to erasing the stain of the Forsaken. Unfortunately, this means many elder vampires who run afoul of a werewolves are encountering Tzuumfin packs. Such meetings can color and prejudice the All Night Society where the shapechangers are concerned even as they wage war through proxies.
