Piers Wentworth is a young Shadowhunter in London during the early 1900s who attended the Shadowhunter Academy with Alastair Carstairs.
Biography[]
In 1903, while attending a picnic with the other young Shadowhunters of the London Enclave, Piers was attacked by a Khora demon in broad daylight. His sister Rosamund and Alastair Carstairs immediately began trying to pry the demon off him and by the time they did, Piers was deeply wounded. He lay unmoving and bleeding greatly while a battle broke out around him. He was later brought to the London Institute's infirmary for treatment.
There Piers was treated by the Silent Brothers for his injuries, however they were unable to treat him for the poison. They later put him and the other two poisoned patients—Ari Bridgestock and Barbara Lightwood—to sleep, hoping it would slow the poison from reaching his heart and give them time to find a cure. After the illness was proven to be contagious, he and over 20 others affected were moved to the Silent City. Not long after, he was cured by an antidote found by Christopher Lightwood.[1]
In December 1903, he attended his sister Rosamund and Thoby Baybrook's engagement party, where he suffered through Esme Hardcastle telling him about the book she was writing on the history of the London Enclave.
He later took part in the battle against Leviathan at the Institute and was moderately injured. Afterward, he assembled with the other Shadowhunters for the Enclave meeting.[2]
