![]() ![]() They assumed that he was strong enough to drag himself away. After taking a blow from Luke (who appeared as a wolf at the time), Luke thought that he may have nicked a rib and when he came back for Hodge's body, he was gone. Hodge attempted to kill Clary with his weapon of choice - the chakrams - and was stopped by Luke, before he could hurt her. After a quick chase, Clary managed to corner Hodge, but to no avail. Hodge fled the Institute, and Clary pursued. Though slightly skeptical, he ultimately betrayed them by giving Valentine the Mortal Cup and was subsequently freed from his binding curse. No longer able to help himself, he sent Valentine a message and negotiated for his freedom. He was proven true when, at one point, Hodge learned of Valentine's return and presence in New York. Regretfully, he knew that Valentine would one day return, and that if Valentine offered him his freedom, he would take it and would even consider rejoining him, if only to once again become a Shadowhunter. Still, Hodge bid his time and contemplated his options in his life. Hodge also never truly felt at home at the Institute, and while the children trusted him, others did not. The Lightwoods and Hodge never told the children about their involvement with the Circle, and he had simply allowed them to assume that he was bound within the Institute because of a vengeance spell cast by an angry demon or warlock. While Hodge did grow to love the children he tutored, namely Alec, Isabelle, and Jace, Hodge still felt the weight of his punishment. However, Hodge was unsure of his true identity, of whether he was Valentine's biological or adopted son. When Jace arrived at the Institute, Hodge received a letter from Valentine through Hugin, telling Hodge that 'Jonathan' was his son. He also took control of Valentine's raven Hugin. As punishment, Hodge was exiled to New York, cursed to never be able to leave the grounds of the local Institute.įorced to live out the rest of his life in the Institute, Hodge became the mentor, particularly their professor of history, of the Lightwoods children, whose parents were also banished from Idris, in the New York Institute. When the battle ended, Hodge was among those who stayed and surrendered to the Clave. Hodge took part in the Uprising, where he sustained a wound to one of his shoulders that was still sensitive sixteen years later. Fearing Valentine's retribution, he did not leave. However, Hodge claimed to have eventually realized how far Valentine had gone. Hodge remained dedicated to him and, like all the other members, was told that he was his most trusted follower and closest lieutenant. His loyalty unwavering at the time, Hodge remained quiet about the whole thing and even agreed to look after the boy for a few days until Valentine could get things settled with him.įor years, Hodge was one of the many Shadowhunters whom Valentine had wrapped around his fingers. As one of the founding members, Hodge helped write the Circle's loyalty oath.Īt one point, Hodge took the child Valentine had been experimenting on from the womb of Céline Herondale, whom he had murdered. When Valentine came to him, offering to train and befriend him, the very young Hodge eagerly accepted and joined the Circle. In his youth, Hodge had considered possibly joining the Silent Brotherhood someday. Hodge had to go to great lengths to convince his parents to allow him to attend Shadowhunter Academy. He had been interested in plants and animals, and he became a skilled herbalist and spent some time in an apothecary in his youth. As a child, he was often left to his own devices, so he would roam the fields and forests. Hodge Starkweather was born to a poor, isolated family in the countryside of Idris. ![]()
