One of the things that marked him as different from the Tar Hollow werewolves was not only his literacy - a few others could also read in a passable way - but that he was interested in books.  He was interested in the Old World.  His collection of books was little known, save to the witches, and certainly, the books he kept stashed away in other places were unknown and would be horrifying to most werewolves.
