Quil Ateara is a member of the werewolf pack and Jacob’s “wing man”. Quil was ecstatic about phasing into werewolf unlike most of the pack. Since it allowed him to finally have his friends back and understand what was going on Quil had no reservations. Quil is one of the five wolves of the pack to imprint during the saga. Quil to some scandalous effect, imprinted on Emily’s two-year-old niece, Claire. After Jacob explains that there is currently nothing romantic about it, and how Quil will be whatever Claire needs him to be at each point in her life, whether it be a brother, a friend, a protector, or a lover, readers understand the imprinting relationship better. Quil has dark skin, black hair, an impish grin, a buzz cut, and is tall and burly. As a wolf he has chocolate brown fur.

Early History

Quil is a member of the Quileute tribe and part of the Ateara family line, which is one of the families in the tribe known to carry the werewolf gene. Quil Ateara V is the fifth in his family to carry the name.

Before his transformation, Quil is one of Jacob Black’s best friends, along with Embry Call. The three are inseparable and spend a lot of time together, especially during the early parts of the series.

Initially, Quil is unaware of the werewolf gene in his family and the potential for him to transform. His transformation comes later than Jacob’s and Embry’s, causing him some confusion and distress as he sees changes in his friends before experiencing them himself.
