Sidekick Showcase [27] Not Who They Say They Are

Sidekick Showcase, previously known as Sidekick Saturday, is a weekly bookish meme, hosted here by Jaclyn at JC's Book Haven. There are many secondary characters that are as great as the primaries. In some cases, the sidekicks actually steal the show and you like them better than the heroine or hero. Maybe they didn't have enough page time for how great they were. Anyone can play along! I will post my Sidekicks on Saturday, then whichever day during the week that you would like to post yours, you can put your link in on my page. Just do the following:

• Choose a sidekick *or someone other than the hero or heroine* that you would like to put in the spotlight that fit's in the week's topic
• Share a picture (if you can) and information about the character
• Give the title and author of a book the character can be found in
• Please don't include too many spoilers when describing why the character is such a great sidekick
• The day of your post, put your link in below and grab the code for your post so you can see the others that post their's throughout the week as well

This week's challenge is NOT WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE

I love surprises in characters! There are so many that spring to mind, but I decided to choose someone who is still a mystery to me since I've only read two books in the series so far. Trent Kalamack from Kim Harrison's The Hollows Series is a beautiful looking man, tall, fit, commanding, possibly...most definitely, maybe? evil to the core! I know all you vets of this series including you, Lexxie, will snicker because you know how Trent's character evolves. He's a mystery from the moment his name is first mentioned. Rachel is clueless about him. You know how people say "He hung the moon"? Think the opposite and that's how Rachel views Trent, despite her inability to overlook his appearance. 

“Come work for me, and I’ll tell you.”
My eyes went to his. “You are a thief, a cheat, a murderer, and a not-nice man,” I said calmly. “I don’t like you.”
He shrugged, the motion making him look utterly harmless. “I’m not a thief,” he said. “And I don’t mind manipulating you into working for me when I need it.” He smiled, showing me perfect teeth. “I enjoy it, actually.”
― Kim Harrison, The Good, the Bad, and the Undead

“I took a breath, seeing from across the room the rain on his eyelashes. A sudden need to brush them free filled me. I could almost feel the dampness of the rain on my fingers, how soft it would feel.”
― Kim Harrison, Dead Witch Walking (I'm pretty sure Rachel's describing Trent as she spies on him)

My sidekicks were wrapped up in talking about the big move coming and Big Brother. My sister might have mentioned Jeanne C. Stein, but heck if I remember why.
