Bluebutton, Adelphus

Adelphus Bluebutton is a werewolf and member of the Woolsey Pack. He is a lieutenant in the Coldsteam Guards.
== Appearance ==
Adelphus is never described in the books, but in the manga he appears to be a man of colour, with black hair and a haughty expression. Compared to the other wolves, he appears to dress in a slightly more dandyish manner.
== Personality ==
He is notorious among the pack for his indiscriminate sexual appetite,Blameless, chapter 7. and they are quite obviously disgusted with it, which is a strong indication that he takes the receptive role, given the period. He says it is because he 'gets bored easily', but there is no more said to indicate what this means—or, indeed, if it is true.
Other hints in the narrative indicate he is arrogant, condescending to inferior ranks (whether military or pack, or both, is unclear), and also seems to be the rank immediately below Channing. He is disdainful of women.Blameless
 He is described by Rue as so civilized he owns a smoking jacket.Imprudence, chapter 1.
== History ==
From how the other wolves interact with Adelphus, he has been in the pack long enough to have earned the right to make snide comments without challenge, as well as being the military liaison.Blameless
