Andrew Milling

Andrew Milling is an athletic, muscular, and tanned middle-aged man with blond hair[3] and unusual dark eyes. These are colored contact lenses; his natural eye color is yellow. He has a sharply defined, angular face and white, even teeth, and often wears jeans, a white shirt, and cowboy boots. Like a puma, he is huge, has cinnamon-colored fur, and has many wounds.

Milling eats little, does not drink or smoke, and has few physical needs. He sleeps very little and has great self-discipline, but he also loves chocolate, so he always has a chocolate bar with him. He prefers to eat only lightly fried beef heart or beef liver.

Milling grows up with his parents in a rented apartment on the outskirts of a small town. His parents are both werewolves: his father often goes hunting at night, so he is very sleepy during the day. Because of this, he is fired from his job, he cannot find another, begins to drink and eventually dies from it. His mother rarely takes her animal form. Milling himself often travels to the Sierra Nevada to take photographs and make films. Eventually, having become a naturalist filmmaker, Milling meets Evelyn, a film producer. Evelyn is also a werep-cougar. They have a daughter, June, and the family moves from Los Angeles to the Rocky Mountains. During the filming of the movie, Milling meets Theo, a weremoose, with whom he quickly becomes friends. In November, eight years before the Children of the Forest storyline begins, Evelyn and June, in their cougar form, go out to play in the snow and are killed by a hunter. Milling learns of this through the hunter's web page and tries to at least get their pelts back, but he only has enough money for Evelyn's pelt. He kills the Hunter in his second form. Hatred for humans settles in his heart and he vows revenge. To win over other werewolves, Milling talks a lot about the suffering humans cause animals and werewolves. He opposes hunting and the destruction of nature, but hides the fact that he himself is not without sin: he once sold a piece of virgin wilderness to humans, which was subsequently destroyed. Arula, who previously lived there as a lynx, finds out about this, but Milling threatens her, so she is forced to hide. He continues to search for her so that the truth does not come out and the man does not lose his allies.
