Derek

Derek is one of the main protagonists of the series. He is Sitka's recruit. Unlike most of the characters, he is a human who is training to become a shape-shifter, therefore, he cannot change shape. Yet.

He ends up falling in love with Sitka, and, with Arrows help, attempts to woo her. Alas, Sitka is still in love with Stryder and attempts to rescue him from Finnra's grasp.

Special Weapon
Some Recruits are given their Special Weapons early in order to have them train better. Derek is one of these.

Derek's Special Weapon is a knife set consisting of 5 knives, Might, Flight, Night, White, and Light. Each knife has a special power.

Might is the strongest of the knives, doing the most direct damage.

Flight is a knife that can go so far on so little strength, that it seems like it's flying.

Night is a special kind of knife that dissappears right after you throw it, then reappears right before striking the opponent.

White is a knife that will, once it gets near it's opponent, create a bright flash of light, temporarily blinding the enemy.

Light is a knife in which, once it is thrown, will start heating up so that when it cuts you, the cut will start to burn. Just imagine what will happen if the knife hits you directly and becomes lodged there!
