Template:Character infobox Kirby was one of the Alphas. He first appears in Dead Beat.
Description
In Fool Moon, Kirby's first mention is only as a "lanky, dark-haired boy" as he exited the van outside Marcone's estate.[1]
In Dead Beat, Harry Dresden describes Kirby as a young man with untidy black hair. His arms and legs are a few sizes to big for his body. He is wearing sweats, tee and boat shoes: the standard, easy-to-get-out-of werewolf garb for troubled times.[2]
In Turn Coat, he's still lanky, dark-haired but now he's a man.[3]
Biography
Kirby's family lives in Texas.[4] He was an only child.[5] His girlfriend was Andi.[6]

Dead Beat

In Dead Beat, Billy has Kirby on look-out when Harry pulls up with Waldo Butters driving the SUV he borrowed from Georgia. Harry has Kirby park it for him since he keeps running into things. The dashboard keep repeating "The door is ajar" when every door is perfectly closed. (Harry's magic has it acting squirly.) Harry tells Kirby: "It won't shut up." Then Butters says brightly: "It gets sort of zen after a while. Life is a journey. Time is a river. The door is ajar." Kirby just looks at Butters skeptically.[7]
