like all the other Garde or he might still be too young. Number Four Number Four, or John Smith, is a sixteen-year-old boy described as fit and attractive with dark blond hair. He has four circular scars on his right ankle, symbolizing the three dead Lorien children and the pendant all the Lorien children wear, signifying the charm that protects them. He is the strongest of the Lorien sent to Earth and has a chimæra named Bernie Kosar. In I am Number Four, Four falls in love with high school junior Sarah Hart. He also has a friend named Samuel Goode who travels with him to search for his father whom he believes to be a prisoner of the Mogadorians. His Cêpan is Henri, who dies at the end of the first book. In The Power of Six, Four develops feelings for number Six, although these subside in the third book when his feelings for Sarah take over. At the end of the book, Four and Nine go north in an attempt to find Six. It is revealed in The Rise of Nine that he may be the Garde who inherits Pittacus Lore's powers. In The Fall of Five, Four locates Five. After Five takes all the other Garde to Florida, Four dreams of a future where the Mogadorians rule Earth with Ten (as Setrákus Ra's successor) and Five. As Four awakes, the Mogadorians attack and capture Ten. After the fight, Four meets the Adamus, the rouge Mongadorian haunted by One and the son of the General. In The Revenge of Seven, Four leads Adamus, Samuel, Malcolm, and the Chimera to attack Ashwood Estates, the Mongardorian base on Earth. Four fights the General and is saved from death when Adamus kills his father. Four, Samuel, and Nine go to New York City to intercept a rogue senator. Four uses his healing power to save the senator and to get him to expose the Mogadorian leader, Setrákus Ra. Four and Nine arrive at Setrákus Ra's presentation and reveal that he is a Lorien. However, Four prevents federal agents from hurting Setrákus Ra after learning that doing so will harm Ten. Four does not rescue Ten but is spared by Setrákus Ra in return. Later, Four and Samuel try to make their way out of New York City. Piken almost kills Four, but Samuel saves him with his newly developed telekinesis Legacy.
