Rupert Blackthorn was the husband of Tatiana Lightwood.

Biography

After coming home from their honeymoon, Rupert and Tatiana decided to pay a call to his wife's family home in Cheswick. The demonic worm that Benedict Lightwood had become seized him from his family's carriage, leaving a frightened Tatiana inside. He was seemingly eaten or otherwise ripped apart and killed by the demon, as his severed foot was later found in the bushes.

He never got the chance to meet his son, Jesse, with whom his wife was pregnant at the time of his death.
