At the time of the Event, the Tyrant December made a desperate gamble to take control of His Vessel, Rasputina. This attempt failed when she redirected His power to one of the Silent Ones, a woman named Snow. The Tyrant's power manifested in the form of a massive wendigo bound to Snow, which later was named Storm. At first, the relationship between the two was fractured and hostile. Neither the wendigo nor the Silent One wanted this symbiotic relationship, but Fate is rarely inclined to offer a true choice. As time has moved on, they have developed a respect for each other, moving from animosity to the kinship of pack siblings. They no longer interact much with the Cult, preferring their own company. While they answer to Rasputina, it is a strained relationship compared to the rest of the Silent Ones. Storm's nature has driven Snow more towards independence, and she is more willful as a result. For now, the two are joined with the Cult's cause. —description from the publisher
