Forrest

Forrest was a citizen of Brockton Bay, and later became one of Skitter's most trusted lieutenants.

Personality
Considered brave and steadfast. He became Skitter’s new second in command after Sierra stepped down, citing moral concerns. He is good with children, and helps to take care of Aidan and other children in Brockton Bay.

Taylor Hebert
Forrest respected Taylor, having talked extensively with her, and staunchly defended her when her reputation was questioned. Taylor thought he was more courageous than most, a quality she looked up to him for.

Charlotte
They were often seen together caring for the orphaned children of Skitter's territory.

According to Cassie, they became a happy couple.

Appearance
Forrest is a tall man whose burly physique and thick black beard serve to give him a menacing presence which he shows off by wearing tight shirts. This effect is somewhat mollified by the thick framed glasses he wears. His appearance drew attention.

Background
Saw Hookwolf attack a store and injure civilians. Following Leviathan's attack, he stayed in Brockton Bay, instead of evacuating like some others.

Post-Leviathan
When the survivors of Shatterbird's song were being attacked, Forrest stepped up and played a key role in helping Skitter get Mannequin off balance. Later in the fight, he broke Mannequin's casing with a cinder block, forcing the twisted tinker to retreat. He would later become a fixture around Skitter’s territory, helping Charlotte take care of orphaned children.

Post-Slaughterhouse Nine
Helped set up a block party before Dragon rudely interrupted them.

Post-Echidna
When Taylor became Weaver, Forrest expressed support for her, saying that the role of a hero fit her and wishing her the best. He remained focused on looking after the Boardwalk long term. When reporters showed up to investigate Skitter's past, Forrest refused to give information and defended Skitter to a skeptical dock worker.

Post-Timeskip
He was there when Tattletale put all the pieces together regarding the Entities.

Gold Morning
Forrest was present in Earth Gimel as Gold Morning began, watching the kids along with Sierra and Charlotte. He saw Weaver for the first time in a year and a half as she and Tattletale headed into the Cauldron meeting, though he remained silent.

Despite having a hard time in the devastation from the opening hours of Gold Morning, he told Taylor that he and the children were doing well. When Doctor Mother and Contessa were going through the refugee camps and offering vials which they claimed would grant powers, Forrest and Charlotte turned them down, wanting to be there for the children; Forrest said he was unsure that he would be a good cape, though Taylor believed he might.

Along with Charlotte and the children, Forrest was at the reunion meeting of the Undersiders months after Gold Morning ended, to toast the savior of the multiverse.

The Ice Breaks
Charlotte and Forrest were invited by Imp to help with the kids.
