Laurence Ashdown is a Shadowhunter of the London Enclave in the early 1900s.
History[]
When the topic of Lucie Herondale and Cordelia Carstairs's wish to become parabatai was brought up, Laurence remarked that women were "flighty" and thus should not commit to being parabatai in their youth. Though Lucie ignored him, and Matthew Fairchild also disagreed with him, most seemed to agree and had the girls' ceremony postponed.[1]
In 1903, Laurence attended an Enclave meeting to discuss the recent demon attacks that were happening all over the city, even in daylight. There, Charles Fairchild announced the news that Oliver Hayward had become infected by the demon poison and died from a scratch inflicted upon him by his poisoned beloved Barbara Lightwood. Laurence was extremely alarmed and caught in disbelief as he continued to explain that this was the first case of demon poison being contagious.[2]
