Personality[]
Rowan is an insecure, reserved, asthmatic teenager. During a conversation with Wednesday, he says he considers himself an outcast in a school of outcasts. Rowan is also a troubled person who is driven crazy by his powers. He mistakenly and obsessively believes Wednesday will destroy Nevermore School and is willing to kill her to prevent that from happening, although he is visibly remorseful.
Biography[]
Rowan first appears during a fencing match against Bianca Barclay. Weakened by his asthma, he withdraws and goes to the infirmary where he meets Wednesday. Right after, he tries to kill her by knocking a gargoyle statue over her, though she is saved by Xavier and passes out. He is then seen briefly in a secret bookstore, where he retrieves a book with a page that depicts Wednesday and Joseph Crackstone in the middle of the burning school.
Towards the end of the episode, Rowan is at the carnival and when Wednesday bumps into him, she has a vision of him being slaughtered by the monster. As he walks away into the forest, Wednesday follows him trying to warn him of the danger he is in. However, Rowan corrects her by saying that she is the danger and slams her against a tree with his telekinetic powers. He then explains that his mother had warned him that Wednesday would destroy the school and that he had to kill her. As he strangles the girl even more, the monster emerges and throws Rowan backwards before savagely killing him.
In the following episode, Wednesday alerts Mrs. Weems about Rowan's death and she is surprised to see the boy alive in the headmistress's office. It turns out, however, that it was Mrs. Weems using her shapeshifting abilities to turn into Rowan to keep the school out of trouble.
Three episodes later, Wednesday discovers that Mrs. Weems is a shapeshifter and that Rowan is indeed dead.
