John Myth was born just prior to the Apocalypse to Nathan Myth Jr., a wealthy LA businessman and founder of Greenhouse Industries, a Glass Walker front corporation for their activities in the LA area. Nathan was a Glass Walker kinfolk who had unknowingly wed another kinfolk, Denise McVay, who became John’s mother. Greenhouse Industries was merely a laboratory with a small office building and second rate equipment which primarily researched environmental medicinal cures.

John was just a toddler when war came to LATMA. In order to protect their child, Nathan had his son moved to the mountains outside LA for a short while, where John was raised in the mountains by a mixed pack of Silver Fangs, Get of Fenris, and Silent Striders.

The Fall was horrible, the massive Corporate Wars led to the deaths of both Denise and Nathan, and left John an orphan. The pack took him under their wing and raised him in the mountains overlooking LATMA. John rapidly grew into a young man, and at age 7 was enrolled in a school inside LATMA. One- Fang, the grandmotherly Silent Strider of the pack walked him to school each day and ensured he completed his schooling.

When Myth was 15, he underwent the change for the first time when he cut his finger whittling on a stick. He lived with the pack for several months after that, but one of the Elders noticed he often would sneak into the city at night to look at the city life. The Elder named him Walks-the-Night, his Garou name ever since.

About the same time he received his name, a representative of the Glass Walkers visited the pack and met secretly with the Elders. The next thing Myth knew, he was taken to a private school in LATMA, and continued his schooling. He adapted to city life remarkably fast, continuing his private instruction sessions with his new mentor, Paul Passage. Shortly after he had adjusted to the city life, Passage informed Myth of his parent’s death, and Myth’s subsequent inheritance of Greenhouse Industries. Myth visited the burned out hulk of a building that had once been his parents’ lab, and informed Passage that he would continue their work.

He attended college, where he met his first wife Veronica. The two were married during their sophomore year and Myth had one son born. Moonlight Park became a welcome place for the family to go on weekends, as it allowed their son Patrick to play while the young couple studied geometry and business law. One afternoon, the peaceful respite was shattered in young Myth’s life.

The afternoon in the park had begun like many previous ones, and the couple had settled down to study while Patrick investigated his first toad. A woman’s scream was overheard by the family, and Myth got up to investigate. Not far away near the waterfalls, a young woman was being subdued by two men while a third was attempting to remove the struggling woman’s clothing. Myth knew it was wrong to break the Veil, but with his son and wife nearby, he did so and attacked. Two of the men were dead before their limp and rended bodies struck the trees they were thrown into. The third ran, and after a short chase, fell as well.

Above the trees, the sound of Aerodyne engines could be heard, and soon after the crackle of machine guns. In a panic, the MetSec pilot sprayed the clearing around the monster below with indiscriminant machine gun fire, striking all four figures below. In a panic, Myth fled through the woods, wounded but alive. Veronica and Patrick were not as lucky. Both had been killed by the bullets, a loss which left Myth distraught and on the verge of vengeance. However, he did have patience.

The other woman was also severely wounded in the attack, unknown to Myth. On the one year anniversary of the attack, Myth was visiting Moonlight Park to place flowers under the tree he often shared with his young family, and noticed a woman seated in a wheelchair near the tree as well. He approached her, and began conversing with her. The woman’s name was Dionara, and she was visiting the site of her attack a year before. An astonished Myth then devoted his new found wealth to repairing the injuries to the young woman, and after a year of surgeries, therapy, recovery, and constant companionship, the two were married in a grand social affair in LATMA Corporate Center.

Soon afterwards, the Myth fortune grew by leaps and bounds, and Myth began acquiring controlling interest in several companies, as well as patents on several urban forestry projects. He currently controls or owns Greenhouse Industries, The Embassy Towers luxury condos, The White Fawn restaurant, The SS Midnight Shipping Company, and is on the Board of Directors for Celeste Gale’s orphanage and private school.
