Rafe

Rafe is a werewolf, one of the younger members of the Woolsey Pack.

Appearance

Rafe is one of the pack's most normal looking members. He has a rough-and-tumble air and was metamorphosed with two days' worth of beard (and doesn't seem inclined to fix it). He has a bashful, lumbering quality that lets him blend in with humans. He has brown eyes. He

Personality

Rafe's character can be summed up as being similar to a very thick child. He is a big softy, often acquiring strays for whom he leaves out food. He's not good at gathering information because he is too friendly and winds up loosing track of time.

Romancing the Werewolf

Rafe is at the dinner in the opening of the story where they are arguing over the color of the curtains. He is assigned to look into the warehouses to find the parents of the child left on their doorstep. He did not find any information, but did find Mrs. Whybrew, a wet nurse who would come to stay with the pack permanently to care for Robin. He instructs Rumpet to find evergreens and cider to make the house more Christmassy for the little ones. Rafe is assigned to search the pubs and taverns to continue the search for the parents. As he has no official obligations at the time, he is part of the group that visits the warehouse where Biffy confronts Pastor Monday for encouraging the people to leave babies as offerings for werewolves. When Pastor Monday challenges Biffy for Alpha, Rafe turns wolf to enforce the circle.

Quotes

• "Adelphus Bluebutton wandered in, followed shortly thereafter by Rafe and Phelan, two of the younger pack members." (Blameless, Chapter Seven)
• "Rafe and Phelan were looking rather haggard." (Blameless, Chapter Seven)
• "Lady Maccon's minions in this elaborate charade were three younger members of Woolsey's pack: Biffy, Rafe, and Phelan (Biffy as catcher and the other two as porter and chucker, respectively): the ever-efficient Floote; and a positive bevy of Lord Akeldama's drones scuttling about arranging everything just so." (Heartless, Chapter Two)
• "By the end, Rafe wore the long-suffering looking of an eagle being ordered about by a flock of excited pigeons." (Heartless, Chapter Two)
• "He explained slowly, as if to a small child (which, to be fair, rather defined Rafe's character)." (Romancing the Werewolf, Chapter One)
• “Rafe was still obviously a predator, large and fierce and deadly. But there were humans like that too, and he’d found a group of them in a corner. Rough, ready, angry men, cracked like leather beneath the weight of the world’s use. Standing with them, Rafe could still be one of the things that went bump in the night, just closer to home. The world hid all kinds of monsters – some had too many teeth and some had too much gin” (Romancing the Werewolf)
• “Rafe looked like a bruiser but was in fact a big-hearted softy, prone to accommodating strays. Their previous house had come with a family of alley cats adjacent, who’d discovered early on that Rafe was one for accidentally leaving the hunt’s rabbit liver out for them rather than eating it himself.”  (Romancing the Werewolf)
• "And, of course, there is also Rafe, who is away and very appealing if you like them rough and ready." - Biffy (How to Marry A Werewolf, Chapter Seven)
