Characters

Here is a list of the characters in the Templeverse.

**Nathin Laurent Temple (Nate)**

Nate is the main character. He starts off the series as a rich, playboy wizard whose parents have just died and left him approximately $8 billion and a tech company which makes him hundreds of thousands of dollars a day. They also left him the elusive Armoury which only opens to Nate's living blood. Many people want access to the armoury which contains money, gems, priceless works of art, magic items, antiquities and historical or fictional items of great renown.

He also owns a bookstore called Plato's Cave which sells your everyday book as well as priceless books and antiquities. He also works on retaining high priced books of renown for customers.

In the second book, he loses his wizard powers due The Wizard Academy putting a curse on him. Luckily, his parents had turned him into a Maker which means his is no longer under the thumb of the Academy and has new powers.

He then purposely loses his Maker powers to become a wizard again.

Throughout the series, he allies himself with powerful people and creatures making him one of the most powerful people in the world.

**Callie Penrose**

Callie is a Nephilim Wizard. Her mother was a human wizard and her father was a nephilim. She has beautiful white hair and is very striking. She will also kill you with her pinky. Like Nate and St. Louis, she considers herself to be the protector of Kansas City.

As a baby, she was left on the doorstep of a Catholic Church and found by Father David who gave her up for adoption to loving parents. Her mother died while she was a teenager, but her father, a college professor, still lives in the house she was raised in.

Roland rescued her and Claire when they were being assaulted by vampires and decided to stay in Kansas City to train Callie in her magic and in the ways of the Shepherd. Callie never intended on becoming a Shepherd and has a love/hate relationship with the Vatican.

After the events of her first book, she also has some mysterious powers due to bonding with a drop of angel blood. This has caused her normal wizard powers to become white similar to Nate's mysterious white power.

Callie is drawn to Nate Temple almost supernaturally and they both have the serious hots for each other. They also help each other out on occasion and their powers tend to work well together.

**Quinn MacKenna**

Quinn lives in Boston and is a procurer (thief) of magical antiquities, for the right price. Her mother died giving birth to her and she was raised by her mother's best friend, Dez. She was never told her Father's name. She has an Irish accent despite growing up in Boston.

At first, Quinn's only power appears to be the ability to nullify all magic including magical powers of the gods. However, we later learn that this was a "cage" put around her by her birth mother to hide Quinn from her aunts, other gods, creatures, etc. Her mother also gave her the Irish accent so Dez would fall in love with her and raise her.

Quinn is also a black belt in several different forms of martial arts and knows how to use an assortment of weapons.

In later books, she finds out she is fae and a goddess.

Quinn and Nate Temple do not originally get along because he steals her Uber and the he breaks into her apartment to meet her. She kicks him out without shooting him.

She is close with Othello and also gets along with Callie and Claire.

**Gunnar Randolph**

Gunnar is Nate's best friend and a werewolf. He was an orphan at a young age and was "adopted" by Nate's parents to be a friend to Nate and also to be a protector. Gunnar was also brought into the family as a replacement for Talin. He has a rune tattooed on his arm which gives him the ability to control his werewolf side during a full moon and also makes him a member of the Temple family in a magical sense.

Gunnar is married to Ashley who was the CFO of Nate's company before it went belly up. He is also the alpha of the St. Louis werewolf pack.

Gunnar is devoted to Nate, but also to his pack and Ashley. He has been challenged by several alphas and subsequently demolished them handily.

**Ashley Randolph**

Ashley was the CFO of Temple Industries at the beginning of the series. Nate played matchmaker and set Ashley and Gunnar Up on a blind date without their knowledge. They were engaged quickly thereafter and then married.

Ashley was turned into a black werewolf by an asshole alpha and became Wulfra when she went to fae and was exposed to her wildside.

She is a tenacious fighter and killed Hercules in the Greek War which took place on Nate's lawn. She was stabbed in the back by Indie after she had killed Hercules and was taken to fae by Pan to save her life and give her a chance to heal.

When Grimm Tech was created, she became the CFO. She is fiercely loyal to Nate only second to her loyalty to her husband, Gunnar.

In Legend, it was announced that she and Gunnar were pregnant with fraternal twins.

**Tory**

We first meet Tory when she is a police officer in a car which is being carried by a silver dragon and then dunked into a river. She survives the soaking to the surprise of everyone and that is when Nate (who had just killed said dragon) and Gunnar find out she is a freak. Tory has an incredible amount of strength that's not natural.

In the Grimm War on Nate's lawn, Tory loses her arm and is gravely injured. A green sprite, one of Barbie's friends, gave her power to heal Tory. The sprite died in the process and Tory became a beast master with some control of plants.

Tory's lover, Misha, a red dragon, dies early in the series. She has two young dragons, Aria and Sonia, who are adopted by Tory. Because of her beast master powers, Tory is able to control a large group of shifters and she and Nate open a school called Shift for shifter children who need guidance. The first students were the shifters they rescued from the carnival run by the Beast Master.

**Alucard**

Alucard is a vampire from Louisiana who claims that he was actually named Alucard and not given the "Dracula spelled backwards" name as a nickname.

He is one of Nate's best friends and is at least a century old. He has at least one sibling, a sister, who he killed in Daddy Duty.

He serves as a surrogate dad to the Reds and becomes a Daywalker by sipping on Tory's blood during a crisis. As a vampire, he is a badass. As Nate's friend, he takes a lot of comical grief from the gang, but Nate truly values his friendship and always wants him in a fight.

He is also known as "Porcushine" due to his appearance in the freak bank.
