Skelter's a Gangrel?

I was looking through the TFN skins and screenshots, and I noticed that you made a comment about Skelter being Gangrel. Is that information contained within the game? I guess I had assumed he was Brujah because of Jack's comment in the Last Round-- "Most everyone here has Brijah blood."

Believe it or not yes, Skelter is Gangrel... forever I thought Skelter was Brujah too, until I looked it up.

So it's actually somewhere in the the game code? (Just to be clear...) 'Cause i'm pretty sure it's not mentioned during gameplay.

You're right, it's not mentioned during gameplay. I found out by looking up the game stats within the game files and sure enough he's listed as Gangrel. I believe Skelter is cannon as well because I found something on him, I believe on the WhiteWolf wiki website too. It's been awhile.

The White Wolf Wikia has info on Bloodlines stuff and more often than not people meddle with the WhiteWolf one to add stuff from games to overwrite the canon information I've even spoken to people who believe the books are wrong and the game is 100% correct because the 'games came first'

IIRC there was a very short list of pre-existing canon characters before the designers sunk their teeth into the game.
Beckett, Smiling Jack.

Ta-da!

Everything else was made from scratch. Which is all the more impressive I guess, the number of premade characters White Wolf pump out they could have easily beg, stole and borrowed.

Not on the White Wolf Wiki, but the regular Wikipedia has him under "Gangrel (Old World Of Darkness" as a 'Gangrel of Note'. That alone would not convince me, as Wikipedia is user-generated, and often wrong. But I'll believe the Bloodline game stats. Huh. Ya learn sumthin' everyday. Thanks.

You can add pretty much anything to any wiki. Granted it may get taken down by a mod or someone who just doesn't agree. But some things slip through the cracks. There's a "Malkavian of Note" called Brandywine333. Really?

Nope, that's a Hobbit. Probably a Brandybuck, or possibly some weird Bree-Lander
