Devin Wells

Devin Wells is a character on Beauty and the Beast (TV). 
He was prominent in the episode "Promises of Someday." In that episode, Wells returns to the tunnels from a 20-year long absence. It turns out that Wells is Father's biological son, and therefore Vincent Wells' adoptive brother.
Devin Wells appears as a character in some fanworks, most prominently in the Vincent's World anthology series.
Devin Wells and Elliot Burch often look very similar in fanart; one clue that the character portrayed is Devin are scratch marks on his face, reflecting an incident in canon.
==The Complicated Real-Life Thing==
The character and characterization in fandom is complicated by the fact that Wells was portrayed by Linda Hamilton's then real-life husband. Abbott and Hamilton had a child together; this was one reason the actress left the show, something that led to great strife in the fandom, and ultimately the end of the show itself. 
Hamilton and Abbot divorced in 1989.
Fanworks with Devin Wells and Catherine Chandler, because of this real-life cross-pollination, are a vague sort of RPF.
