Answer:
Garou take great stock in ancestry, and the werewolf who is descended from renowned forbears has a definite advantage in Garou society.
Pure Breed represents a werewolf’s lineage, markings, bearing and other features of birth. Other Garou revere werewolves with high scores in Pure Breed as heroes of yore come to life — and such werewolves are expected to act the part. The higher a character’s Pure Breed score is, the more likely they are to impress elder councils or receive hospitality from foreign tribes.
Each point of Pure Breed adds an extra die to Social or challenge rolls involving other Garou (even Ronin or Black Spiral Dancers). Some tribes place more value on good breeding than others, but Pure Breed is almost universally respected.
It's almost a mystical trait, and werewolves can tell instinctively whose blood is particularly pure. Of course, Garou expect those of pure blood to live up to the standards set by their noble ancestors. They frown on those who can't or won't accept the challenge.
Over the eons, whole lines of heroes have fallen to war, Wyrm or simply time. In this latter age, very few pure-bred Garou walk the Earth.
