Demitri is a tired detective who works too damn long for too damn little in return. His werewolf "secret" isn't so much of a secret, given his partner Murph, boss, and a select few in the firm already know. They use this to their advantage and send him into some of the more dangerous field investigations. They all like to say it's because of his unique "skillset". Still, nobody outside of the firm knows, and he'd like to keep it that way. As far as anyone else knows, he's a detective that's had a desk job most his life.

It isn't that Demitrio doesn't like people, it's more that he does't know how to make connections and form relationships without them finding out about his secret. Besides, his work keeps him busy, and could put a loved one in danger. At the end of the day, he's socially awkward, has a temper, and is married to his work. The most socialization he gets is when he helps the old woman next door by bringing her groceries inside or repairing things now and then. He works later nights and sleeps during the day, sometimes in his way too expensive loft and sometimes at work at his desk.
