Name: Samuel Childers
What: Werecat, snowleopard (bitten)
Sam, the shifter that turned August, is actually still alive! It wasn’t a random attack, he picked August out on purpose. He had followed August from Hoboken the night he had run, intending on turning him the first chance he got. But August tried to bolt when he heard Sam growl and then he fought, causing Sam to do more damage than he had intended to. When the sound of gunshots filled the air, he had run, assuming it was hunters. He was right, technically, but they had been hunting deer, not him.
Sam had known August’s mother and been bitten shortly before she died. They had been friends since school and he had tried to get her to leave her husband and she might have had she not died. He left for years after her passing and did not know how badly August was being abused.
When he came back to Hoboken and found the kid, he had become a little obsessed.
August was actually named after Sam, but stopped going by his legal name when he ran away. Sam does not know this. He has been trying to find August for years.
