Background
Hamish Osborne is Scottish, born to human parents, his father an insurance broker and his mother a housewife. When he was twelve, he realized that he was smarter than his teachers and was introduced to Jack Watson, a daemon, who told Hamish that he is a daemon. Watson then explained the existence of all supernatural species to Hamish and his family. His parents were supportive and glad to finally understand what made their son so special. During that visit, Hamish's mother told him that she knew that he was not interested in the girl next door, but her older brother. Unlike most daemons, Hamish was not drawn to a career in arts or music. He has a gift for mathematics and used his talents in the area of international financial markets. He is comfortable among humans, unlike most daemons, and finds humans' imperfections fascinating. Hamish's friendship with Matthew is rare, as the separate species do not often mix.

A Discovery of Witches

Hamish accompanies Matthew while he hunts. Later, Matthew tells Hamish about Ashmole 782. Hamish advises his friend to leave the manuscript and Diana alone, pointing out that Matthew's behavior is telling him that he's hunting Diana. During their conversation, Hamish points out that being a vampire is definite. After one is turned, one is definitely a vampire, however, daemons and witches have to wait and wonder about their supernatural blood.
