Apollo Mikaelson

Apollo Charles Henry Petrov De Novo Delacourt Mikaelson is a main character in Legacies, she was a former majorly recurring character in The Originals before being promoted to a main character in the fifth season. He was a major recurring character in season eight of The Vampire Diaries. Apollo is the tribrid son of Niklaus Mikaelson and Ana Pierce. He is the grandson of Ansel, Esther Mikaelson, Issac and Evelina De Novo Delacourt, as well as the step-grandson of Mikael. He is also the nephew of Freya, Finn, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik Mikaelson, and the grand-nephew of Dahlia. He is the older twin brother to Artemis, older brother to Nemesis, maternal younger brother to Ella and Daniela, the paternal younger brother to Hope, and adoptive younger brother to Lily, Marcel, Rosie, Nora, Mary Louise, Layla, and Davina.
As a result of his unique heritage, he is the world's fourth werewolf-witch-vampire hybrid. He inherited his vampire, werewolf, and witch gene from both of his parents. Through his mother's Labonair lineage, Apollo is werewolf royalty.
Apollo was sent away to be raised by Rebekah, Catherine, and Rosie in order to protect him from his father's enemies: the Guerrera Wolves, Esther, and Dahlia. His death was faked to protect him. However, Esther had found Rebekah, Catherine, and Rosie whilst they were with the children at the park, this is signified by the presence of starlings. At the end of the third season, he is living with Ana on the road. By the fourth season, he lives with Ana and the Mikaelson Family at the Abattoir.
After having the Hollow's spirit separated into five members of his family, he, Ana, and his siblings leave for Mystic Falls. He becomes a student at the boarding school and as time goes by, he becomes determined to see his father again, despite the consequences that could ensue. 
Apollo is a member of the Mikaelson Family, Labonair Family, Petrova Family, Vidov Family, De Novo Delacourt Family, and an unnamed family of werewolves. He is by birthright a member of the Crescent Wolf Pack, North East Atlantic Pack, and Sacred Flame Coven as well as an unnamed witch family, and one of four children fathered by the Original Hybrid.
==Physical Appearance==
As a baby, Rebekah mentioned that Apollo looked like his father. As a baby, he had dirty-blonde hair and round dark-blue eyes. As a child his hair has darkened and he was seen wearing t-shirts and jeans.
As a teenager, Apollo is tall, standing at 6'0". He wears white or black Air Jordans. Over the years his hair has gotten longer over the seasons. He has bright light-colored blue eyes. He wears relaxed yet edgy clothing that compliments his tall figure. He's seen wearing a Mikaelson family crest bracelet.
As a Labonair, Apollo has a Crescent birthmark on his right shoulder, similar to that of his family and distant relatives, Eve, Lana, and the Hollow.
In his wolf form, Apollo possesses white and grey fur and has the typical glowing yellow eyes that come with Lycanthropy. In his vampire form, Apollo maintains his golden yellow eyes but gains black veins that cascade from his lower eyelids to just above his cheekbones.
==Personality==
Even when he was a baby, Apollo was said to be a fighter. He also seemed to be a very calm and happy baby. Freya says that, like his paternal family, he is resilient. He is also seemingly very intelligent as he was able to use his magic to turn Camille's car on and off, despite still being a baby.
As a young child, Apollo was a kind and gentle boy. He had a sweet and innocent persona. He enjoyed helping innocent creatures and once used his magic to heal a butterfly's broken wing.
As a teenager, Apollo is shown to be stubborn and brave as he was willing to put himself through extreme pain and possible death to get his mother back. Both Klaus and Rosie describe Apollo as being smart, possibly too smart for his own good, like his father. It has been shown that Apollo has gained one of his father's traits of doing whatever he can to protect his family.
However, once Apollo magically absorbs part of the Hollow's soul, it nearly drives him insane because he constantly starts to hear whispers of voices in his head. The only way he can end the madness going on inside his head is by committing acts of violence. Instead of taking his anger and frustrations out on innocents, he takes it out on those she deems not innocent (provided with his father's assistance). However, his desire to quell the voices by using violence and magic causes him to accidentally kill an innocent man. He struggled to come to terms with his death and refers to it as something that has stayed with him.
Apollo struggles to forge meaningful connections with other people and make friends with the other students at the Salvatore School, not only because of his supernatural classification but also because he's already endured a lifetime of grief and heartbreak. To his peers, he seems closed off and a dick.
Due to his often disastrous past, he has resigned himself to isolation, considering it the path that will provide the least heartbreak in his life. He sees loneliness as less of a burden to bear than his formative experiences of loving so deeply and losing so terribly. However, he has begun to open up more to people, tediously forming friendships. He is slowly becoming more optimistic that he will be happy.
==Powers and Abilities==
As a hybrid of three supernatural species a witch, a werewolf, and a vampire; the full extent and limits of Apollo's powers are currently unknown.
Apollo, his mother, his siblings, nieces, and nephews are Nature's loophole that could be used against Malivore. Due to this, they can remember those that he previously knew and have been consumed by Malivore as well as heal others with his blood that have been shot with weaponized Malivore bullets.

|-|Witch-Nature=
Apollo is a witch-hybrid, having inherited his witch gene from his father, the son of Esther Mikaelson and his mother, Ana Pierce. According to Dahlia, as a firstborn of their bloodline, Apollo has inherited great, but devastating power. Dahlia also notes that Apollo's magic will be tainted by Klaus' and Ana's vampire blood as well as the aggressive wolf temperament. Despite this, Genevieve states that Apollo's magic is strong enough to fuel the French Quarter Coven's ancestral power for generations, while one of the Hollow's acolytes reiterates this sentiment when he states that Apollo, his siblings, and cousins might be the greatest witch the world may ever know.
As a baby, Apollo demonstrated heightened awareness of the impending explosion at his family's house and he used his magic to temporarily turn off Camille's car (as they were on their way there) to protect himself, his sister, and Camille. He then used it again to turn the car back on.
Apollo has a connection to the Hollow, drawing her sigil, the Ouroboros, though whether that was an inherent connection or the link that was used in an attempt to sacrifice her, remains to be known. His connection to New Orleans soil allowed him to communicate with them, where as non-witches could not. It is worthy to note that Apollo has detected these events while still wearing his bracelet that blocks his power.
While other children were unconscious as a result of being tied to a spell that was draining their energy, Apollo was able to retain his consciousness like his siblings until his magic sealing bracelet was removed by Klaus. Apollo managed to counter the boundary spell cast by his aunt Freya on Marcel. Apollo and his siblings would later use their telekinesis to break the salt circle that bound the spirit of Davina to the mortal plane, sending her back to the Ancestral Plane, and returned their father back to his body.
Seven years later, Apollo has improved control over his magic as a teenager; however, such control is lost during bursts of anger. He has also shown skill in creating his own spells with his siblings such that he and his siblings created a spell combined with a cloaking spell that he, Hope, and Artemis performed on Ana, as they were the one to kidnap her and lure Klaus back to New Orleans. They claimed that it was the "perfect" cloaking spell and that it would keep them safe; despite this claim, they were kidnapped again.
While he, Hope, Nemesis, and Artemis were the Hollow's vessels, containing both spirit and Dark Magic, there magic was amplified by that of the Hollow, as she whispered to them in her attempt to corrupt them. During this time, their telekinesis and pain infliction seemed to be amplified as purging their pain, by using their magic, seemed to be the only course of treatment.
Two years later, now with the Hollow expelled from his body, his magic seems to have become more stabilized and in his own control.
Unlike every witch that transitioned into a vampire, Apollo did not lose his ability to practice magic when he became a full tribrid. He was, however, unable to access his magic when he was in transition which left him vulnerable. After feeding, he regained access to his magic, in addition to his vampire and werewolf natures.
|-|Werewolf-Nature=
Apollo is also part werewolf, having inherited the werewolf gene from both of his parents. Prior to triggering his curse, he displayed some increased agility and grace, above that of a normal human. Since he has triggered his werewolf gene, he has gained all of the powers of lycanthropy. With Apollo's first transformation with his siblings looming, Caroline questions that Crescent wolves could control their transformations. In response, Klaus states that the first transformation is a rite of passage and cannot be controlled. This implicates that his werewolf nature as an Evolved Werewolf with the ability of Transformation Control.
Currently, whether it's the former or latter which grants her transformation control, or additional abilities as an evolved werewolf, remains unknown. Klaus explains that during werewolf transformations, the pain will make one want to delay the shift because that is all they believe they can handle. However, should one let the pain in, then it cannot break oneself. Following Klaus' instruction, Apollo has accepted the pain during his transformation, thus it allows him to fully transform within a few minutes instead of a few hours. Despite that the werewolf curse was originally casted upon Native American witches, preventing them and their descendants from using magic, Apollo's lycanthropy does not negate his ability to practice magic; further reasoning about this has not been elaborated upon.
Upon completing her transition into a fully activated tribrid Apollo gained the ability to transform from human to wolf form within seconds while magically maintaining his clothing. His transition also included an energy wave that rippled over his body as he transitioned from one form to another, a trait that is not present in other werewolf transformations.
|-|Vampire-Nature=
Before becoming an activated tribrid, Apollo possessed a few vampiric traits, specifically her blood. His blood was able to help heal his mother while in the womb as well as he's able to heal himself, such as when she sliced open his hand. His blood can be used to sire new vampires and hybrids, the latter being an ability possessed by the Original Hybrid, his father and the Original Tribrid, his mother as well as to heal vampires from a werewolf bite.
After completing his transition, Apollo was still able to practice magic, as he created a sword out of his blood. His true form did not alter much, as he maintained his golden eyes. Apollo now is truly immortal and can only be killed by a red oak stake from the Red Oak Tree. Apollo showed great proficiency in utilising his vampire powers. At the Carnival of Vampires, Apollo showed his ability to compel fellow vampires. Previously, this has only been possible by an Original vampire.

==Weaknesses==
According to Dahlia, firstborns of her family's bloodline inherit great power; however, it is unstable and will damage and, ultimately, kill the witch if they are not taught to contain it. Furthermore, as a possessor of the werewolf gene, Apollo will experience bouts of severe aggression. As one of the hybrid of all three supernatural species, the full extent and limits of Apollo's weaknesses are currently unknown.
Emmett claimed that Marcel's advanced werewolf venom can take down a hybrid, an Original, and even Hope Mikaelson, her siblings, nieces, and nephews. However, he gave no evidence as to why it would or could be lethal to them; nor has this been proven to be true.
Similar to that of her biological family, Apollo can be daggered and temporarily desiccated by the white oak ash daggers. However, he cannot be daggered for long without resurrecting due to her tribrid nature. This is a feat that even the original vampires were unable to do, as someone else had to remove the dagger for them.
