Name Quil Ateara
Species human/wolf
Age 16
A member of the werewolf pack and Jacob’s “wingman”. He is described as being very muscular. He is only mentioned in passing in the first novel of the series but becomes somewhat of a regular character as of New Moon. Unlike most other members of the pack, he was happy about becoming a werewolf, since it allowed him to finally have his friends back and understand what was going on. As a wolf, Quil has chocolate-brown fur.
Quil is one of the five wolves of the pack who have imprinted; he imprinted on Emily’s two-year-old niece, Claire. Although this seems to cause something of a scandal, Jacob explains that there is currently nothing romantic about it, and that Quil will be whatever Claire needs him to be at each point in her life, whether it be a brother, a friend, a protector, or a lover.
