Werewolves in the Twilight universe do not age, as long as they regularly phase into wolves. They heal quickly, have enhanced physical speed and strength, and can communicate telepathically with each other while in their wolf forms. At the end of Breaking Dawn, it is revealed that the Quileute tribe “werewolves” are not true werewolves because they don’t transform according to the lunar cycle. Instead, they are shape-shifters who take the form of wolves, while the “Children of the Moon” were considered true werewolves.

Jacob Black – See Main Characters

Sam Uley

Sam Uley is the leader of the La Push pack. His father, Joshua Uley, abandoned him and his mother when he was very young. Before becoming a werewolf, he was romantically involved with Leah Clearwater, his high school sweetheart. His relationship with her started to fall apart after his transformation, because he was forbidden to tell Leah what he had become. Their relationship ended when Sam imprinted on Leah’s second cousin, Emily, and went back on every promise he had ever made to Leah. According to Jacob, Sam feels guilty for betraying her and responsible for the bitter person Leah has become. When he phases, he is pure black and the largest wolf, until Breaking Dawn when it is noted that Jacob has grown taller than him. He is the pack Alpha, but not by blood; that role is Jacob’s, but he allowed Sam to lead the pack until Breaking Dawn.

Quil Ateara

Quil Ateara is a member of the werewolf pack and Jacob’s “wingman”. He is described as being very muscular. He is only mentioned in passing in the first novel of the series but becomes somewhat of a regular character as of New Moon. Unlike most other members of the pack, he was happy about becoming a werewolf, since it allowed him to finally have his friends back and understand what was going on. As a wolf, Quil has chocolate-brown fur.
Quil is one of the five wolves of the pack who have imprinted; he imprinted on Emily’s two-year-old niece, Claire. Although this seems to cause something of a scandal, Jacob explains that there is currently nothing romantic about it, and that 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.

Embry Call

Embry Call has gray fur with dark spots on his back, and is another one of Jacob’s “wingmen”. He appears briefly in New Moon and Eclipse. Embry calls Bella Swan “vampire girl” because she hangs out with the Cullen family. His mother was a woman of the Makah tribe, not the Quileutes; since the werewolf traits are inherited from father to son, he is the half-brother of either Quil Ateara, Jacob Black, or Sam Uley. This causes some stress within the pack, since all of these men’s fathers were married before and at the time of his birth.

Paul

Paul is prone to angry outbursts which cause him to burst into his wolf form. Paul is one of the bigger wolves, and has dark gray fur. He is the most volatile member of the pack, and becomes so enraged when he learns that Jacob has told Bella about the pack that he turns into a wolf and attempts to attack her. He currently seems to have no ill feelings towards Bella or Jacob. Early in Book 2 of Breaking Dawn, Paul is shown to have imprinted on Jacob’s older sister, Rachel. This annoys Billy and Jacob because he is always at their house eating their food; however, Billy is happy that Rachel is staying at home longer because of Paul.

Jared

Jared was the first werewolf to phase after the pack’s leader, Sam Uley. He is one of the five werewolves to imprint: he imprinted on Kim, a girl he sat next to in class. Before he was a werewolf, he never paid any attention to her. After his transformation, he looked at her once and imprinted.

Leah Clearwater

Leah Clearwater is the only known female werewolf in the history of the Quileute tribe. She transforms into a werewolf during the events of New Moon, around the same time as her younger brother, Seth. This transformation is believed to be what caused the heart attack and subsequent death of their father, Harry. She dated Sam Uley for years, until her second cousin Emily came to visit and Sam imprinted on her. Sam thus left Leah for Emily, leaving her broken-hearted. As a result, Leah is very bitter and cynical, and constantly antagonizes the pack by thinking about things that the others want to avoid dwelling on. She also likes to antagonize Jacob by bringing up the fact that Bella plans to marry a vampire and become one herself, when it is clear that Jacob is still in love with Bella.
In Breaking Dawn, Leah joins Jacob’s pack with the intention of breaking free of Sam since she is still heartbroken. She shares with Jacob several beliefs and insecurities that she has, such as why Sam imprinted on Emily, her regrets that she might be menopausal, and her inability to be of higher rank because of her gender. As she spends more time in Jacob’s pack, she becomes happier and makes notable changes in her attitude, becoming less troubling and negative. Later in the book, Jacob and Leah’s feelings toward each other have become a trusted comradeship, in which she stands up for him, protects him, and becomes his second-in-command. As a human, Leah is described as beautiful by Bella and Jacob. As a wolf, she is smaller than the others, light gray, and the fastest of all the wolves.

Seth Clearwater

Seth Clearwater is Leah’s younger brother and a member of the La Push pack. He has sandy brown-colored fur. He transforms into a werewolf during the events of New Moon, around the same time as his sister, Leah. In New Moon and Eclipse he is shown to idolize Jacob Black, and is said to remind Bella of a younger Jacob. During the newborn attack in Eclipse, Seth stays with Bella and Edward, due to his young age of only fifteen, to act as a connection to the pack. When Victoria and Riley appear, Seth fights and destroys Riley with Edward’s help. In Breaking Dawn he is shown to have developed an unlikely friendship with Edward, and attends his and Bella’s wedding. Seth remains a constant presence throughout the final book in the series. He is initially the only werewolf to feel completely comfortable being around the Cullen family. He also has, according to Edward, very honest and pure thoughts, something that endears him to the Cullens, and Edward in particular. After Jacob forms his own pack, Seth quickly follows. For most of Breaking Dawn Seth is Jacob’s second-in-command, until he is replaced by Leah at the end of the novel.

Collin and Brady

Collin and Brady are two of the youngest wolves in the pack. In Eclipse, they are said to have phased at the age of 13, and they later make an appearance in Breaking Dawn as part of Sam’s pack.

Ephraim Black

Ephraim Black, grandfather to Billy Black, was the last chief of the Quileute tribe. He was a werewolf/shape-shifter himself, and the Alpha of the pack of three, which included Levi Uley and Quil Ateara Sr. (the grandfather of Jacob’s friend Quil). He created a treaty with the Cullen family which promised that the werewolves wouldn’t expose them as long as the vampires did not bite any humans.

Others

There are seven additional wolves present at the end of Breaking Dawn. These unknown wolves are believed to be very young because of their oversized paws. The alleged reason for their transformations into werewolves is the presence of many visiting vampires at the Cullen residence during this novel.
