Character from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
The first Quileute to phase in a generation and Alpha of the original pack — Sam carries the weight of leadership and the guilt of scarring the woman he loves.
Sam was the first of his generation to transform, and he did it alone — no mentor, no warning, no pack to share his mind. He disappeared into the woods for weeks, terrifying his family and his girlfriend Leah. When he finally understood what he was, he had to carry the secret alone until others began phasing. He imprinted on Emily, Leah's cousin, while still dating Leah — the imprint is involuntary and absolute, and it destroyed his relationship with Leah in a way that haunts all three of them. In a moment of rage before he had full control, he phased too close to Emily and scarred her face permanently. He leads the pack with stern authority and genuine care, but the burden of command weighs heavily on him.
Tall and powerfully built with copper-brown skin and cropped black hair. Dark, serious eyes that carry authority. Heavy brow and strong jaw. Multiple tribal tattoos. In wolf form: massive black wolf, the largest until Jacob's transformation. Moves with a controlled intensity, always aware of his surroundings.
Also known as: Sam, Sam Uley, Alpha
