Biography
Charlie Monohan was born the oldest of two children to Nick and Sarah Monohan of Chicago, Illinois. In 2010, following a controversial shooting incident, his father quit his job as a homicide detective and accepted a position as chief of police for The Gates - an isolated, upper-class neighborhood located in the state of Washington. Unlike his mother and sister, Charlie liked living in Chicago and had no interest in relocating to a town he had never heard of.

Charlie did his best to fit in however. He enrolled at the Gates Academy and immediately made a connection with an attractive, blonde-haired student named Andie Bates. Andie had been romantically involved with a football player named Brett Crezski, but something about Charlie piqued Andie's interest and she struck up a conversation by recommending him for the school's mock trial team. Andie also enticed Charlie into helping her set up a booth for the town's annual Harvest festival. Andie's project involved the use of a lie detector device made from materials found at the school. Charlie nervously agreed to be her guinea pig for the experiment and the two began liking one another.

Charlie's association with Andie did not sit well with Brett Crezski and the athlete let Charlie know in no uncertain terms that Andie and he were together. Charlie had no intention of coming between Brett and Andie, but he couldn't deny the attraction he felt for the girl.

What Charlie didn't know was that in addition to being the school's star quarterback, Brett Crezski was also a werewolf. With his canine senses, Brett could smell the pheromones generated between the two and set his sights on taking Charlie out of the equation. On the night of the Harvest Festival, Brett lied in wait as Charlie and Andie were walking home in the dark. He was prepared to pounce on him, but a member of Brett' werewolf pack, Lukas Ford, interceded and warned Brett about the consequences of attacking people inside The Gates.
