Director
Archetype
To the Director, nothing is worse than chaos and disorder. The Director seeks to be in charge, adopting a “my way or the highway” attitude on matters of decision-making. The Director is more concerned with bringing order out of strife, however, and need not be truly “in control” of a group to guide it. Coaches, teachers, and many political figures exemplify the Director Archetype. Kindred Directors may be simple advocates of established codes, or they may prove instrumental in tearing down corrupt existing orders to make way for new leaders or factional movements.

You’re here to sort things out, lay down the law, and make sure that people follow through on things that must be done. The designated adult in all situations, you take your responsibilities to heart. Firm guidance and clear command are hallmarks of your approach. When stuff needs to get done, you’re the best person to run the show.
Leadership is your gift to the world. While other folks stand around dithering, you know what to do, how to do it, and what will happen if things aren’t done properly. You’re good at motivating people, and tend to be the most organized one in your group. People look to you for guidance, and you rarely let them down.
Your Intolerance, though, sometimes trips you up. The real world never does run smoothly, and you can drive yourself (and everyone around you) crazy trying to implement your vision. In order to Ascend, you must integrate other possibilities into your approach. Collaboration might sound like a bad word to you, but a truly great leader learns how to accept compromise.

The Director is related to the Alpha Archetype. Whereas the Alpha is focused on command as a means, the Director is more concerned with the ends. She wants to turn chaos into order and to forge groups into well-oiled machines. In Garou society, Directors usually do their best to work their way into sept offices so that they can better orchestrate cooperation among their charges.
