Personality
Cody is rather quiet, having the mentality of a young, high school student. He takes great offense to being picked on even though as the pack's Omega he should be expecting that every now and then. He feels defective because he cannot remember a fair portion of his childhood. Everyone in the pack remembers their parents, what fun times they had, their very first memory...all of those things Cody doesn't have and it is because of that that he feels incomplete, vulnerable and not a real part of the family. The only two people that know about that is the pack's Alpha and Beta. Cody keeps his true feelings hidden from the pack because in many ways he is sensitive about them and he fears what his brothers and sisters would think of him if they knew.

Cody fears a lot of things – the moon, changing, his disorder...but the most important thing he fears is death because of his disorder. Growing up he had to be so very careful not to cause a bleed because getting it to stop was nothing short of a nightmare. Now that technology has somewhat caught up with the times, getting factor is not as difficult and frowned upon as before but still Cody doesn't like to take it because he doesn't like to be seen as different.

Biography
Cody Bridger (who's true name is Matthew LaHaye) was born in the midst of what can only be considered as turmoil. His mother Shana LaHaye who was the beta of a large pack of Lycan's challenged the Alpha's right to rule the pack, but she didn't do it in the traditional way. Instead of challenging the Alpha outright she did it one packmate at a time. When the pack Alpha discovered her plot a vicious fight broke out, ending with the pack Beta being subdued and Cody's untimely birth.

The Alpha wanted Cody's mother dead but he didn't want to be responsible for the child which is what would happen if Cody's mother was killed. Shana was banished from the pack; ordered to live out the rest of her days alone with her son.

Shana lived in the forest with Cody for five years. During those five years she lived in isolation in a cave that she had found. One day Shana was attacked by another Lycan who had been tracking her. The fight was long and brutal and when it was over the attacker was dead, Cody had a bite between his small neck and his right shoulder and Shana was covered in blood; her's and her attacker's.

She was badly injured and she knew it but even so she knew that her child needed more help than she did. Hemophilia. It was what she considered to be a curse because it ran in her family's bloodline. Her Grandfather had it, her mother had it, she had it and she knew her son had it as well. It wasn't too bad for females who had the disorder because they had an extra chromosome, so in essence females were more likely to be carriers of the disorder than to actually suffer from it. Males on the other hand had only the defective chromosome so if they were bleeding then they would need 'factor' which would help to replace the missing clotting factor and allow their blood to normally clot.

Cody had the defective chromosome so his blood would not be able to clot properly on it's own meaning that the bite he sustained would continue to bleed until he bled out...unless he got factor. Because it was her son, Shana risked going to see a doctor. The man wasn't a doctor by trade he was one of those 'underground' types that did things (even if they weren't legal) for people that wanted to keep it quiet. In fact the man wasn't human at all; he was a Lycan.

At first the doctor had been unwilling to help because he knew who Shana was and because what she was asking was a still relatively unknown procedure, but he changed his mind when she said that her son hadn't done anything wrong and shouldn't suffer because of her mistakes. The doctor saved Cody's life by managing to stop his bleeding through other means, but he was unwilling to help Shana herself.

Shana took her son back to the forest with her but two hours later she died from her injuries.

Even though he was old enough to, Cody remembers nothing from his time in the forest, his mother or even the attack. His first memory was waking up in a strange house and seeing Julius there. Ever since then Cody has been with the pack and in a sense one could say he has grown up with them.

Cody is now eighty-eight years old in human years but he still looks like he is twenty-three. He still remembers nothing from his childhood apart from his first memory of Julius. He still remains with the pack as their Omega, a position he doesn't necessarily like because it's more or less the butt end of the pack's 'food chain,' and because his brother's and sisters love to tease him and pick on him but he knows if there is ever a time he would need them then they would be there.

Extra's
Cody is gifted when it comes to music, but he rarely explores this gift.
