Alec first appeared in Death of the Moon as one of the main characters. He is blind but navigates the world using his remaining werewolf-enhanced senses. Unlike most werecreatures, Alec is long-lived and even he doesn’t understand why. Born a witch with a rare power known as the radharc na fírinne, or sight of truth, passed down through his mother’s bloodline, Alec never should have become a werewolf.

At the beginning of Silence, Alec was mourning the loss of his best friend and mentor, Ari. With her death, he temporarily lost his ability to navigate the world until Rin came into his life. With his ever-growing pack and Damien at his side, Alec learned to live again. During The Silence, Alec was the only werecreature that was able to shift and he didn’t learn why. His wolf form changed to a brighter white with an unknown kanji symbol appearing on his forehead. As his new, unknown power grew, so too did his confidence.

In Death of the Moon, Andy was a patrol officer working closely with Damien under a mentorship. Alec detected some dormant witch blood in Andy when they first met but never said anything. Andy was often quoted as saying, “This case is cursed,” and he wasn’t far off. It was preternatrual.

During the events of Silence, Andy took and passed the detective exam and officially joined Damien’s team as a fellow homicide detective. When one of Damien’s suspects attacked Andy outside of Sister’s Bar and Grill, he became aware of the preternatural community. Andy didn’t let this new knowledge slow him down and quickly became an even bigger asset to Damien’s team.

Damien first appeared in Death of the Moon as one of the main characters. He started out as an unaware human detective, but didn’t remain unaware for long. Damien stumbled into the preternatural world after a series of cases with evidence that didn’t add up and his neighbor, Tim Singer, became a target–and also shifted into a bobcat before Damien’s eyes. With the help of Alec, Damien’s werewolf boyfriend, Damien was able to solve the cases. But it came at a cost.

At the beginning of Silence, Damien blamed himself for Ari’s death–he’d pulled the trigger after all–and the suffering Alec was going through. With a new preternatural case on his hands, Damien couldn’t catch a break. Then, he started seeing things–things that weren’t there. He’d gained the use of Alec’s radharc na fírinne, or sight of truth, but didn’t learn why or how the power had come to him.

Jac first appeared in Death of the Moon posing as a lawyer for various members of the preternatural community. He and Damien had been roommates–as well as temporary lovers–in college. Jac couldn’t always share information due to a promise of silence. As half Fae, he is bound by his word and also cannot lie.

He returned in Silence and quickly became frustrated with the limits of how much he was able to help. He joined Special Agent Thatcher in Michigan to work on a separate case. At one point, he called Damien to let him know he’d be unavailable for a period of time and disappeared shortly thereafter–presumably to Underhill. Jac returned–armed with a sword–just in time to guide Damien and Alec’s team out of the Underworld.
