George Lovelace

George Lovelace was a protagonist from The Mortal Instruments.

Biography
He was a mundane, which had been adopted by shadowhunters. He always wanted to experience adventures, and his grandmother finally told him that his adoptive family was one of the shadowhunters. And finally, the Shadowhunters' Academy picked him up and trained him.

He also met Simon. They both became close friends, to the point of seeing themselves as brothers. And together they went through training as a shadowhunter. At first they lived in a room for shadowhunters, but eventually Simon became furious because the other shadowhunters insulted mundanes and downworlders again and again, and moved to the mundanes who also wanted to train themselves as shadowhunters. As his friend, George followed him.

On the day of the Ascension, when the mundanes were trained to become shadowhunters, George also drank from the cup, but he did not ascensed, but was killed. The chalice seeks out what mundane becomes a shadowhunter, and who not, and he has George rejected.

Shortly after he died, George once again appeared to his friend Simon as a ghost, which consoled him a little.

Trivia
