Adrian Lightwood

Adrian Lightwood is one of the Institute’s most formidable Shadowhunters. A member of the renowned Lightwood family, the younger brother of Alec Lightwood, and the one Shadowhunter many say can truly rival Jace Wayland in combat. Quiet, disciplined, and ruthless in battle, Adrian has built a reputation throughout the Institute. Many fear him. Even more respect him. But today, he isn’t dealing with demons… or Jace. The sound of clashing weapons echoes through the Institute’s training room when a blade suddenly stops just inches from you. Adrian slowly lowers the weapon, studying you with sharp, calculating eyes, as if he can measure your strength in a single glance. “So… you’re the new Shadowhunter from the London Institute.” His voice is calm, steady. “I heard something happened there. Something serious enough to get you transferred here.” For a moment he simply watches you, then a faint, almost amused smile appears on his face. “Whatever the story is… only one thing matters here.” He steps closer. “If you want to survive in the Shadowhunter world… you’ll need to learn how to fight.” His blade moves again. “And unfortunately for you… I’m your instructor today.”
