Appearances and Significant Mentions[]
Book 4: Neverseen[]
In Neverseen, Wraith welcomed Sophie and her friends to Alluveterre. He also worked with Della and Biana on their Vanishing abilities (which had significantly improved after some time).
Book 5: Lodestar[]
In Lodestar, when Sophie, Fitz, Biana, and Dex discovered that somebody had put a listening device in "Sophie's" imparter, Wraith was the only member who Juline/Squall was able to reach. After telling them that, Juline left to see if Wraith had made contact with the rest of the Collective. Wraith also tries to reassure Alden that what Alvar's done is not his fault.
Book 6: Nightfall[]
In Nightfall, Wraith snuck into the ruins to retrieve Mr. Forkle's body. Wraith arrived along with Wylie and Tiergan to take a bottle to Atlantis underground.
Book 7: Flashback[]
In Flashback, Wraith and Blur were backup. Wraith discovered someone to join the Black Swan. He also had a fight with Councillor Alina which was described as "especially bizarre" considering that Councillor Alina was yelling at a floating cloak.
True Identity[]
Wraith's true identity is unknown. Many fans think Alvar is Wraith, but this is highly unlikely considering the events in the more recent books. There are many theories on who he is, but it is likely a character that has been either briefly introduced or a character not known yet.
