However, Isabella tells him that there is no one who could replace him. No matter how hard he tries to believe his only child, he'll always feel some type of way. According to Katherine, in her early years in a relationship with him, he told her that he was the "jealous type".

 Oh child. You don't know me.

## Powers and Abilities

Kaiaphas is regarded to be one of the most powerful warlocks of all time. He also could inflict pain upon others. However, Kaiaphas was not always the great and powerful warlock as known to the supernatural community. He is regarded by many as a terrifying and skilled warlock. He is skilled in potions. The mere mention of his name quickly struck fear in others. He is gifted in telekinesis, as he threw Kai across the room with very little to no trouble at all. Kaiaphas is very skilled at Spell-craft, and creating his own spells, and also noted that he has the tendency to simply appear out of nowhere when he's being talked about. He also had the ability to sense a pregnant women, even before they actually knew themselves.

Kaiaphas is considerably much stronger than vampires, werewolves, and humans. He is able to decapitate other species with a single chop of his bare hands, shatter windows and doors with small objects, and single-handedly tear out the hearts of younger vampires and other creatures with little to no effort. His strength was used to break necks and spines, and break and move heavy objects. His impact could send anyone flying. His strength was also enough to rival that of his own kind. While Kaiaphas was more powerful than werewolves in either form, transformed werewolves still rivaled enough of his strength to take him down in small groups.

## Relationships

### Isabella Parker

"*You threatened my brother? Your uncle?
 Yeah, why? I told him the next time he tries to be my "dad" I'd ask you to poison his drink.
 That's my good girl! Next time, don't smile while saying something like that. Make's it look more convincing.*"
—****Kaiaphas**** and **Isabella**

Kaiaphas is Isabella's father. Kaiaphas loves and cares for her dearly, Kaiaphas protects her fiercely and would destroy any threat that comes the child's way. He claims that he does right by her and only her. Kaiaphas is committed to protecting her like her mother, and he has a very good relationship with her. Kaiaphas is Isabella's best friend, and the person who provides Isabella with advice and a shoulder to lean on whenever her temper goes awry. They both are descended from a dark history involving their magical lineage, which is partly due to their siphoner-heritage. Despite this dark history, Isabella is learning to control her dangerous powers with Kaiaphas' help.

### Katerina North

"*All those times you got laid, I know deep down you miss me. You can't deny that, and I know that you miss us.*"
—**Katherine** to ****Kaiaphas**** in a flashback scene in *Imagine All The People*

Kaiaphas is Katherine's "Ex-Boyfriend". However, it could be inferred that Kaiaphas didn't really care about Katherine. His main focus seemed to be pleasure. However, when Katherine told him that he was pregnant with his child, he did seem to care about her for the 9 months that she carried his daughter. However, their relationship did take a turn when Katherine, told their daughter that Kai was her father. This is primarily the source of Kaiaphas' jealousy when it comes to his daughter's relationship with men in her family. Kaiaphas ultimately started to dislike Katherine when she tried running with his child, and attempted to leave the city. It can be noted that Kaiaphas doesn't like or love Katherine, but tolerates her for the sake of his daughter.
