Shadowhunters: Isaiah Mustafa's Luke Garroway is an alpha father figure unlike any other

Played by the talented Isaiah Mustafa, and based on Cassandra Clare's bestselling young adult novel 'The Mortal Instruments,' Luke's character is a father figure at his finest
PUBLISHED JAN 2, 2019

The most wonderful thing about Freeform's fantasy show, 'Shadowhunters,' is the series encompasses characters, emotions, and issues of all kinds. It also features one of the most poignant representations of that happens to be the alpha werewolf we have grown to love and adore in the last three years - Luke Garroway. 

Played by the ever-so-talented Isaiah Mustafa, and based on Cassandra Clare's bestselling young adult novel 'The Mortal Instruments,' Luke's character is a father figure at his finest. Yet, what sets him apart from most father figure stereotypes we have seen on screen is the fact that this character - in all his skilled glory - is still fighting battles of his own. As much as Luke is the voice of reason and guidance among the other main characters of the show, he is still a mentor who actually understands them despite their differences in opinion and age.
