Sam Uley

Sam Uley, is the alpha of his side of the Quileute Pack. He's currently twenty two years old and was the first of the LaPush wolves to phase. He was also the first to imprint, having imprinted on Emily Young.

He's a canon character on IHWU as well as in the books and has no player at the current time.

Early Life
Sam grew up on the LaPush Reservation, raised by his mother Allison Uley. Sam's father Joshua left early in Sam's life and as a result, Sam took over as the man of the house and mentally he matured rather quickly.

Phasing
The first time Sam phased was back when he was still in high school. He was almost positive he had gone entirely insane and it took a good two weeks for him to return back to his human form from the panic.

Love Triangle
Before phasing, Sam had been dating Leah Clearwater and they were a fairly steady couple. He believed that his little wolf problem wasn't going to be a big deal until he met Emily. Leah brought him to her house to meet her cousin, but the moment he laid eyes on her Sam imprinted and was suddenly entirely devoted to the woman. Leah wasn't sure what went wrong and it wasn't until she herself phased that she understood the connection, it didn't make it any easier.

The whole pack had to deal with the pain that Leah felt, still desperately in love with Sam while he was devoted to her own cousin. He of course felt bad, still in love with Leah but it was nothing compared to the bond he felt for Emily.

Emily's Death
Tragically, Emily's body was found dead from an animal attack in the LaPush forest. Losing his imprint drove Sam to the brink and he almost instantly turned the blame to Leah, saying she must have attacked her own cousin and killed her in a spurt of jealousy. His accusation had dire concequences as the pack was split in two. Jacob took Leah's side along with a few of the other wolves who split from the main pack soon after, forming sort of a rebel group and protecting Leah at the same time.
