Paul Lahote

"I'm sure the leech-lover is just dying to help us out!"

- Paul on Bella Swan

Paul is a Quileute teenager who can turn into a werewolf. He was the second one to join the pack. He is most volatile member of the pack, he became so enraged when he learned Jacob told Bella about the pack that he turned into a wolf and attempted to attack her. He currently seems to have no ill feelings towards Bella or Jacob. He is prone to angry outbursts, causing him to burst into his wolf form.

Relationships
In Book 2 of Breaking Dawn, Paul has already imprinted on Jacob Black's older sister Rachel for some period of time. This annoys Billy and Jacob because he is always at their house eating their food and watching their TV; however, Billy is happy that Rachel is sticking around longer because of Paul.

Paul is prone to losing his temper very fast, but seems to have better control of it by Breaking Dawn, most likely due to the happiness of being in love.

Human form
In New Moon, Jacob says that "Paul's just sixteen, too, shorter than me and not as beefy as Quil."

Wolf form
Bella describes Paul’s wolf form as: "Dark silver fur blew out from the boy, coalescing into a shape more than five-times his size—a massive, crouched shape, ready to spring". He is also massive, gigantic, swift, not as tall as Sam, and having dark eyes.
