Wolf Packs

A Pack is a name used to describe a group of werewolves, or hybrids, or both. Major werewolf clans usually consists of a group of werewolves coming from a single bloodline that may include ruling or royal families. As shown on several occasions, packs seem to always have both a leader and followers.
There were originally seven packs each werewolf can trace their bloodline from, all of which had their own unique strain of werewolf venom.
Season One of The Originals introduced the concept of werewolf clan hierarchy. Within it, there is a werewolf elder which can act as a shaman for werewolf rituals.
