He is a twenty-three-year-old Lunar-wolf hybrid with messy brown hair, many scars on his skin, and bright green eyes resembling ‘sour grapes on a vine.’ After meeting Scarlet in the first chapter, he was initially suspected to be the culprit behind Michelle’s mysterious disappearance but later decided to help Scarlet find her grandmother once proven innocent. At the beginning of the story, he remained quiet and reserved, often keeping secrets from Scarlet to gain her trust or to protect her.

She is intent on going where she wants, when she wants and never fails to point a finger of blame or pass judgment when an opportunity arises.
