Werewolves
Elena Michaels
- Action Girl
- Canada, Eh?: Elena is from Toronto.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Her parents died when she was young and she had a difficult time in the foster system. Including a Stalker with a Crush.
- Defiant Captive: In "Stolen".
- I Just Want to Be Normal: At the beginning of Bitten, she is trying to live as a human. It doesn't last.
- Innocent Cohabitation: See Nick below.
- Pregnant Badass: During "Broken".
Clayton Danvers
- Ax-Crazy: His reputation with the rest of the Non-Pack werewolves.
- Berserk Button: Do not threaten Elena, Jeremy or Katie and Logan.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Was bitten as a child and had to survive alone until Jeremy found him.
- Deadpan Snarker
- Drives Like Crazy: The speed limit is more of a suggestion to him.
- Everyone Loves Blondes: Much to his annoyance.
- Jerkass: To pretty much anyone who isn't his Pack.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold
- No Social Skills: Zig-zagged. He has social skills, he just doesn’t see the point in using them most of the time, making people think he doesn’t have them at all.
- Southern Gentleman: At least to Elena.
Jeremy Danvers
- Good Parents
- It's Not You, It's My Enemies: As Alpha, he has a dangerous job. He tries to warn Jamie that a relationship with him would be very difficult for this reason.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: As Alpha, he balances Elena and Clay's impulsivity.
- Tall, Dark, and Handsome
Nick Sorrentino
- Innocent Cohabitation: Often shares a bed with Elena, but their relationship is completely platonic.
Antonio Sorrentino
- Older Than They Look: Due to the werewolf genes. He looks so close in age to his son Nick that they pass themselves off as brothers to avoid suspicion.
Karl Marsten
- Affably Evil: He was this while he was still a mutt.
- Ambiguously Absent Parent: His mother.
- Anti-Hero: After his Heel–Face Turn toward the end of “Bitten,” he is on the side of good. Doesn’t mean he’s stopped being a snarky Jerkass.
- The Dandy: He is rarely not nicely dressed. According to Hope, his fashion sense was what made her mother accept their marriage despite the age gap.
- Demonic Possession: He is briefly possessed by Lucifer in “Thirteen”.
- Gentleman Thief
- Handicapped Badass: In “Thirteen,” he helps rescue Hope while temporarily confined to a wheelchair.
- Happily Married: To Hope.
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: He is taller than Hope.
- Like Father, Unlike Son: His father Josef was a quiet, nonconfrontational man who preferred quiet burglaries. Karl, on the other hand, is more confrontational and enjoys the adrenaline rush he gets from his career. It’s mentioned in “Territorial” that when he was younger, Karl occasionally found himself thinking that Josef was a coward.
- May–December Romance: With Hope. As of "Personal Demon" Karl is 50 and Hope is in her mid-twenties.
- Older Than They Look: He looks to be somewhere in his mid-thirties, but is actually fifty years old. Justified because he’s a werewolf. Other werewolves take to calling him “old man,” to the confusion of anyone who doesn’t know how old he actually is.
- Street Urchin: Much of his early life was spent learning how to steal and fight, and he and his father constantly moved from place to place to avoid running into conflicts with other werewolves.
- Tall, Dark, and Handsome: He is described this way by Hope in their first meeting. Also qualifies as Tall, Dark, and Snarky.
- Will They or Won't They?: He and Hope initially have an on-again, off-again relationship, mostly because of Karl’s confidence issues. He finally proposes to her in “Lucifer’s Daughter”.
- Working with the Ex: He returns from Europe (after apparently leaving for good) to honor his half of a debt he and Hope owe to Benico Cortez in “Personal Demon.” Over the course of the novel, he reconciles with Hope and they (eventually) get back together.
- You Killed My Father: He hates Malcolm for murdering his father, and spent years honing his fighting skills so he could confront and kill him. When another mutt got to him first, Karl wasn’t too happy about it. Turns out Malcolm didn’t really die.
Malcolm Danvers

Lucas Cortez
