Alexander Laverty

Alexander Laverty is the older brother of Richard Laverty, and husband of Ellen. His power is tending plants.

He knows about Maeve, his sister-in-law, and is the only member of the Laverty family residing in Glenscar to share the secret (though Richard supposes their father must at least suspect the truth.) He and Ellen have three children, two daughters and a son:
 * Andraste Laverty - She may also suspect her sea-aunt's existence.
 * Sinead Laverty
 * Ronan Laverty - It is likely through Ronan's line that the Laverty and selkie folk's blood will be entwined again, through a grandson or granddaughter of Ronan. His name means "little seal", though his mother hasn't guessed its importance. He never goes swimming with anyone but his father and uncle.
