Rowan is first seen as closed off, cold, and uncaring, mostly reacting with anger and annoyance at his mate during the first few months of their training. Later on, after discovering more about his lovers past, Rowan warms up to his mate and is kinder and more caring, showing worry when she is hurt or weak. As a warrior, hundreds of years old, Rowan is capable of cruelty and torture to protect what he loves. He is tall (6'4) and broad-shouldered, with every inch of him corded with muscle.
