The son of Bad Tony Caruso, Score spent most of his life in fear of his father and the Bowery gangs. His mother died when he was young, supposedly a victim of his father. She was a strega, a wise woman, and may have originally come from Ordin, Helaine's world. At the end of the tenth book, it is revealed that Shanara is Score's mother. When his father was arrested and jailed, he was put into state custody, but escaped. Score was brought to Treen by S'Hee, an Orca Bestial. Score, after travelling to Dondar, bonded with his unicorn friend, Thunder, who is both the herd leader and father of Flame and husband to Nova. His main magic ability is to change objects from one thing into another. But he also has the abilities of sight, water, and the control over an object's size.
