Maudjee-Kawiss

Maudjee-Kawiss is the first son born to Winonah. His name translates roughly to “The beginning son” and is as much a title as it is a name. His name denotes his responsibilities to all that come after him. He is a powerful warrior who can best nearly any foe and his Scions likewise excel at all physical endeavors, being possessed of great might and prowess.

Unfortunately for Maudjee-Kawiss, he tends to take after his father and seems to have inherited Ae-pungishimook’s Titanic demeanor. He doesn’t get along with others very well over long periods. He is incredibly brash and quick to rage. His first instinct is to solve any problem, or perceived slight, with violence, general uses of force, and displays of strength. Others learned quickly to give him a wide berth, fearing what he may do if provoked. Maudjee-Kawiss knows he makes people uneasy, partly because everyone else is so weak. Consequently, he doesn’t stay in any one place for very long. If he gets wind of gatherings of strong warriors or where there is a good fight to be had, he’ll head toward adventure.

He does circle back around from time to time to check on the well-being of his people. He carries a grudge like no one else, however. When he does find himself in Anishinaabek country he’s most likely to try to stir up some sort of fight against any western pantheons in the area.

The Scions of Maudjee-Kawiss have a hard life. He is known to take them when they are four, train them to be warriors and soldiers, and then abandon them in bad situations to see how well they survive. If they please him he keeps an eye on them, helping them from time to time or inviting them to go hunting or fighting with him. If he is not pleased with them, he ridicules them and then casts them away, giving them no further assistance.

Though he has a general dislike for many of the pantheons from the west, Maudjee-Kawiss has been seen on many occasions hunting for wendigo and other titanspawn with Oshoshi and Skanda and Artemis.
