Although Seth was deeply saddened by the death of his father, he accepted his transformation far better than Leah did hers. He didn‘t have the same challenges to deal with.
Seth enjoyed being a werewolf. He saw being a pack member as a cool kind of magic that made him special, rather than viewing it as a curse. He is known in the pack for having the best hearing.
Seth is the most open-minded of the wolves. He sees the Cullens not as monsters, but as individuals who have chosen to live in a way that makes them good guys.

QUIL ATEARA V
NAME: Quil Ateara V
DATE OF BIRTH: 1990
QUILEUTE STATUS: Werewolf pack member
WEREWOLF GENE SOURCE: Ateara and Black lines
HUMAN HAIR COLOR: Black
WOLF COAT COLOR: Chocolate brown
EYE COLOR: Brown
HEIGHT: Over 6‘0‖
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Quil is shorter than Embry, but is more muscular. He has an impish grin, and he wears his hair in a near buzz cut.
EDUCATION/OCCUPATION: He attends the high school on the reservation. He is a protector of La Push.
FAMILY MEMBERS: He is the son of the late Quil Ateara IV and Joy Quehpa Ateara.
Quil Ateara III, also known as Old Quil, is his grandfather.
PERSONAL HISTORY:
Quil‘s great-grandfather was Quil Ateara II, who helped form the treaty with the Cullen family. His father, Quil IV, died when Quil was a young child, leaving his mother, Joy, to raise him on her own. She had the help of her father-in-law, Quil Ateara III, commonly known as Old Quil, who functioned more like a father than a grandfather to Quil. Quil is one of Jacob Black‘s best friends, as well as his second cousin.
Quil was the sixth person to join the Quileute werewolf pack. For some time, he‘d been aware of the drastic changes in his close friends‘ lives, without knowing the reason for those changes. He was relieved to learn the truth and pleased to be with his friends again. His easy transition was challenged when he became the third member of the tribe to imprint on a human female. Unlike Sam and Jared, who had imprinted on girls of roughly their own age, the object of Quil‘s imprinting was a young child. This caused much upheaval in the pack.
According to legend, imprinting was a rare event that the majority of werewolves would never experience.
Of lesser concern was the fact that so many members of the pack were imprinting; according to legend, imprinting was a rare event that the majority of werewolves would never experience. The other members of the pack began to worry that they would all imprint, and should therefore eschew normal relationships for fear of hurting an innocent bystander the way Leah had been hurt by Sam. The pack theorized that the increase in imprinting frequency was due to the continued presence of the large Cullen coven; their genetic subconscious was compensating for the constant vampire threat, pushing all of them toward paths that would result in a strengthened werewolf presence. Of course, that theory was dependent upon the truth of their first theory — that imprinting existed in order to pass on the werewolf gene. A theory that, in light of Jacob‘s imprinting experience, has been called into question.
The bigger concern was, of course, Claire‘s age; she was two at the time. Though there were ancient legends that told of such situations, the werewolves had discounted them as empty stories. That this myth could be true seemed more horrific than the rest of the legends they‘d come to accept. From the outside it looked depraved, as they were well aware. However, from the inside, there could be nothing more pure than Quil‘s feelings for Claire. That he would never do anything to hurt her in any way, mentally or physically, was mandated by the bond between them. All the wolves could experience the nature of his feelings for her, so they knew exactly how deep it was — and also how platonic it was. But they knew it was something that outsiders would not be able to understand, so they kept the imprinting as secret as possible.
Quil could only be content with his situation. As long as Claire was happy and safe, he was satisfied with life.

The Uley Pack
SAM ULEY
NAME: Sam Uley
DATE OF BIRTH: 1986
QUILEUTE STATUS: Werewolf Alpha
WEREWOLF GENE SOURCE: Uley line
HUMAN HAIR COLOR: Black
WOLF COAT COLOR: Black
EYE COLOR: Brown
HEIGHT: 6‘6‖
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Sam is very tall, with cropped black hair.
EDUCATION/OCCUPATION: He attended the high school on the reservation. He is currently the leader of the original wolf pack.
FAMILY MEMBERS: He is the only child of Joshua and Allison Uley. He has imprinted on Emily Young.
PERSONAL HISTORY:
Sam was raised on the Quileute reservation by his mother, Allison. The stress of providing for a family was too much for his father, who left when Sam was very young. Sam took on most of what should have been his father‘s responsibilities, and as a result, he was always mature for his age. He had been taught the old werewolf legends about his great-grandfather, Levi Uley, but like everyone else of his generation, Sam believed they were myths.
When he was a senior in high school, Sam became the first of his generation to phase into a werewolf. He had no idea what had happened to him. Totally panicked, he hid deep in the forest for two weeks. Finally, he calmed down enough that he turned back into a human while he slept. He snuck home and told no one about his experience. He wouldn‘t talk to his mother or to his long-term girlfriend, Leah Clearwater. He believed he‘d gone insane and was having delusions.
Sam‘s high body temperature and recent unexplained disappearance made the situation clear to Old Quil.
Sam lived in fear of another attack until the day Old Quil Ateara stopped by to see Allison and happened to shake Sam‘s hand. Old Quil had been taught to recognize the signs of a werewolf who has already phased, or is about to. Sam‘s high body temperature and recent unexplained disappearance made the situation clear to Old Quil. He called an emergency meeting with the other tribal elders, Billy Black and Harry Clearwater. They were the last surviving members of the tribe who had seen an actual werewolf transformation. That night they went to Sam‘s house and asked him to attend their council meeting. Sam respected them enough to go with them, though he assumed they were only going to castigate him for his strange behavior.
