Overview
The Hollow Men were first recorded during the age of the Roman Empire on the British Isles. The
Fianna believed that they were the creations of wyrm-corrupted druids. Aligned with the Defiler
Wyrm , they are among his most valuable servants in the quest to conquer Gaia. Several of them were also active in wyrmish organizations like the Seventh Generation.
Hollow Men are created when a Scavenger Pack bane drives its associated animal to overtake a fresh corpse or a person in the process of dying. The body needs to be completely hollowed out. Once the body is merely skin, the possession is complete. Since they can live for extremely long times, one Hollow Man can be a formidable enemy. In recent times, these
Fomori are rumored to have begun to associate with each other to actively create more of their kind, something that troubles the
Garou .
Appearance
A Hollow Man can only pass for human at a distance or in poor light. Up close, it becomes clear that they have no eyes, teeth, or tongue. Their skin rustles and surges with the motions of the colony within, and occasionally a member of that colony will peek out through an available orifice, or crawl across the surface of the Hollow Man's skin. Despite their mutilations, Hollow Men are still able to perceive the world and to speak, although their voices are the modulated buzzing of hornets, or the chorused hiss of serpents.
Hollow Men can consist of several types of vermin. Observed are hornets, rats, poison spiders, snakes, roaches, and constrictors, but several more are implied to exist.
