Samuel is a werewolf, and basically a werewolf prince at that. He is insanely long-lived, being over 1250 years old. And now I c/p from his infopost because it's the most efficient way I've ever presented this information:
As the Marrok's firstborn son, Samuel is the second most powerful werewolf in North America and his father's second-in-command when he's not lone-wolfing it. As a lone wolf, he doesn't want any trouble or to put anybody out, so he just sort of goes with the flow--the luxury of the powerful.
In human form, Samuel has enhanced reflexes, senses, and speed. In his wolf form, he is white with ice-blue eyes, and he's big even for a werewolf--and most of them weigh upwards of two hundred pounds. He resembles an outsized wolf in many respects, with more muscle, but his front legs are articulated more like a bear's than a dog or wolf's. Drugs do not work on him and he heals normal wounds very quickly, but silver is poison and a wound inflicted with a silver implement will heal at the same speed as a normal person would heal. He does have to change into a wolf at the full moon and hunt (in the Preserve), but other than that he can change at will. The change from human to wolf and back is not instantaneous: it takes several minutes, it is painful, and he shouldn’t change back for at least a couple of hours afterward. Under extreme conditions he can switch back and forth quickly, but he’ll be drained for a while afterward.
As a very dominant werewolf, people tend to want to follow Samuel’s directions and commands (unless of course they are very dominant themselves), and he has some resistance to mental coercion. This is mostly dependent on the strength and determination of the caster. For example, Edward Cullen’s low-level, subconscious ‘dazzle’ wouldn’t faze him, while a Jedi mind trick focused on him and cast by Anakin Skywalker probably would, and would be a very bad thing.
