Isaac
The oldest boy in Frenchie's family. He's in his late teens, is extremely tall, and seldom speaks. Chi-Boy often runs patrols—he's skilled at moving silently through the forest and at leaving false trails for Recruiters. Chi-Boy is also in love with Wab and is fastidious about protecting her. To spend time together, he and Wab practice hunting with bows and arrows. Frenchie admires and strives to emulate Chi-Boy’s skills and calm, imposing, mature demeanor. Chi-Boy and Wab begin to live together in the weeks after Minerva's death, and are expecting a baby in the months after the novel ends.

Quotes

I watched him for a minute, and tried to listen. There was nothing—the absence of sound was the only thing the ear picked up. There was no doubt Chi-Boy was the best scout we had, probably the best scout anyone had. I followed close behind, imitating his movements.

Rogarou Comes Hunting
Quotes
The schools were an ever-spreading network from the south stretching northward, on our heels like a bushfire. Always north. To what end? Now we'd lost RiRi. Now I'd shot a man. Would I even be welcome in the North? I couldn't even protect a little girl.

"But why? Aren't these supposed to make noise?" Slopper was confused. We'd been told over and over that silence was the only way to move out here, the only way to stay alive.
It was Chi-Boy who answered, out of character. "Sometimes you risk everything for a life worth living, even if you're not the one that'll be alive to live it."
