Lowell is a major secondary character, at least at this point.


Lowell is a French version of Lovel, meaning wolf cub. Very fitting, if you keep in mind that he is infected with Hensen's disease within the first chapter of the book. He is basically the visualization of the changes that take place when someone is infected with lycanthropy, and he is new, hence he is a cub. His last name, Theron, as we already know, means hunter. What is he hunting? Or is it just a hand-off name from his sister, the heroine of the book? One must wait and see to find out... muhahaha.

Lowell is in love at the beginning of the book with Suzanne, a childhood friend from who's engagement party the twins had just left. He works as a lawyer 'up North,' and is pretty opposite from Lyka in many respects. He doesn't work with nature, so doesn't admire it, isn't curious about it, and doesn't want to have much to do with it. His protective nature for his sister is what gets him hurt in the first chapter, but it is still up in the air whether it was actually his fault or his fate. We will have to wait and see.
