Alpha

(This page came from here: https://vampirediaries.fandom.com/wiki/Alpha)
An Alpha is the leader and most senior member of a werewolf or hybrid pack. As the leader of their pack, all members of the pack report to — and are under the control of — the Alpha. Whilst and Alpha gains their status either from resect or starting their own pack, a member of their pack may replace them in one of three ways: challenging the Alpha, the death of the previous Alpha, or the Alpha naming them their successor.
Notable Alpha's include Tyler Lockwood, who was the Alpha of a hybrid pack and Jed Tien, the Alpha of the Salvatore School pack. Whilst uncommon, it is possible for a pack to have multiple Alpha's. Both Jackson Kenner and Hayley Marshall-Kenner shared control of the Crescent Wolf Pack in New Orleans following their marriage.
