**Elijah "EJ" Niklaus Talbot Mikaelson** is a recurring character on *Teen Wolf* and *Teen Wolf: The Movie*. EJ is the tribrid son to Brett Talbot and Hope Mikaelson and the older twin brother to Andrea and older half brother to Blade and Artemis Mikaelson. He is the grandson to Niklaus Mikaelson, Hayley Marshall-Kenner as well as the step-grandson to Jackson Kenner and the great-grandson to Ansel, Esther Mikaelson and two unnamed werewolves, as well as the step-great-grandson to Mikael, He is also the grand-nephew to Freya, Finn, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik Mikaelson as well as Faith Labonair. He is also a distant relative to Lana, Eve, and Cary. He is the adoptive nephew to Marcel Gerard via his mother.

EJ was named by his mother in honor of his late uncle. His middle name is after his grandfather, and takes the surname of both parents.

As a result of his unique heritage, he is the world's first hybrid of both werewolves, witch, and vampire. He inherited his werewolf gene from both of his parents, while his, witch, and vampire legacy came from his mother. Through his Labonair lineage, EJ is werewolf royalty.

**EJ** is a member of the **Mikaelson Family**, **Labonair Family**, **Kenner Family**, **Talbot Family**, and an **unnamed family of werewolves**. EJ is by birthright a member of the **Crescent Wolf Pack**, **North East Atlantic Pack**, and **McCall Pack** and **Mikaelson Pack**, as well as an **unnamed witch family**. He also has ties to the **Raeken Family**.

## Personality

As a young child, EJ 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, EJ is shown to be stubborn and brave as he was willing to do anything for his pack mates. Hope describes EJ as being smart and very outgoing. It has been shown that EJ has gained one of his mother's traits of doing whatever he can to protect his family. EJ is always willing to help save innocents.

## Physical Appearance

EJ is of normal height, standing at 5'9" tall. He wears white or black Air Jordans. Over the years his hair has gotten longer. He has brown eyes. He wears relaxed yet edgy clothing that compliments his tall figure. He's seen wearing a Mikaelson family crest bracelet. As a Labonair, EJ has a Crescent birthmark on his right shoulder, similar to that of his mother, siblings, grandmother, and distant relatives, Eve, Lana, and the Hollow.

## Powers and Abilities

As the world's first born hybrid of witch, both werewolves, and vampire; the full extent or limits of EJ's powers are currently unknown.

According to Dahlia, as a firstborn of their bloodline, EJ has inherited great, but devastating power. His magic is tainted by Hope's vampire blood as well as the aggressive of the wolf temperament. Hope notices that his magic is growing more powerful by the day.

EJ hasn't triggered his one wolf side yet, but with his other wolf powers coming out he has increased agility and grace, above that of a normal human. He is able to shapeshift with claws, fangs, and the glowing golden eyes.

Although EJ is not a full vampire-hybrid, he possesses a few vampiric traits, specifically his blood. His blood can heal himself and sire new vampires and hybrids, the latter being an ability only possessed by the Original Hybrid and Original Tribrid, his grandfather and mother as well as heal vampires from a werewolf bite. If EJ were to die, he would be a fully activated tribrid.

## 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 genes, EJ will experience bouts of severe aggression. As the world's first born hybrid of all four supernatural species, the full extent and limits of EJ's weaknesses are currently unknown.

## Name

* **Elijah** from the Hebrew *אֱלִיָּהוּ* (eliyyahu) meaning "YAWEH is my God". It's the name of a Prophet who was carried to the heavens in a chariot of fire. It was a popular name during the middle ages.
* **Niklaus** is a boy's **name** is of Old Greek **origin**, and is a variation of the **name** Nicholas. **Niklaus** means "victor of the people"
* **Talbot**: Talbot is an English and French surname which is believed to have two possible origins. The first is that it is derived from the pre-7th century masculine French name *Talebod*, which itself is derived from the Old German *Talabod*, a compound of the elements *tal*, "to destroy," and *bod*, "message" or "tidings," which together means "messenger of destruction." This is a very warlike name that was fitting for the Dark Ages when it was first introduced. It then developed into a personal name in England by the Normans during their conquest in 1066. The second possible source is that Talbot derives from the Old French *Talebot,* a nickname for bandits who blackened their faces to avoid recognition, as *talebot* mean "lampblack" in the Normandy dialect. There are a variety of spellings and variants of this name, including Talbert, Talbott, Talboy, Tallboy, and Tallboys.
* **Mikaelson** is Scandinavian and means "Son of Mikael".
