A monster had been unleashed and he felt it would return soon. 

It’s Monday, Ghosts and Guardians!

For those of you who follow multiple books on Inkshares, this may be just one of many updates in your email. I promise it’s a good one. For those of you who follow only me, thanks for sticking with me. ;-)

This week I want to introduce you to Will, who appears in Chapter 5 "A Wolf in Man’s Clothing". Will is the character that has changed the most since his inception over fifteen years ago. His name and his lycanthropy are the only two constants about him over the years. Initially, he was the plucky comic relief (a la Wash from Firefly) but he has become a somber, spiritually centered young man whose morality is at constant odds with his nature. In one draft, Will served as the "everyman" (despite his werewolf-ness) and to an extant, he still serves in that role here, although he is introduced much later in the story. 

(More trivia: Maninder/Frank was the original "everyman", the first to be introduced. Now he is the last to be introduced, and, arguably, the hardest to empathize with.)

So, let’s get to it. Who is Will?
