**Kai** is a member of the **Parker Family**, and a member of the **Gemini Coven**.

When Kai grew up, his true nature as a siphon was revealed, and his parents isolated him from the rest of his siblings, and called him an "abomination." After the death of his youngest sister, Kai has been raising his only niece, Elizabeth for fourteen years. Finally he met a woman named Katherine, and soon married her.

After marrying Katherine, they had their first child together, Isabella, who was kidnapped shortly after her birth by Niklaus Mikaelson. After mourning the loss of his daughter, it was revealed that Isabella has lived on.

When Isabella grew up, she realized what was around her and was eventually possessed by Kai's angry mother as revenge. To save his daughter, Kai had the spirit of his mother placed in him. After this event happened, Kai's memory seemed to have been completely erased.

After the four-year time jump, Malachai is completely aware of what he is and doing. After having the spirit removed by his body by Kaiaphas Parker and Brandon North, Kai has been suffering from supernatural consequences, which are currently unknown.

## Early History

Malachai was born in Portland, Oregon in 1972 as the eldest son of Joshua Parker and twin brother of Kaiaphas. As a siphoner, he was shunned by his family, even revealing to Brandon that he wasn't allowed to touch anyone. As twins of the Gemini Coven, they were expected to merge. However, Joshua knew that Kai would win the merge given his powers, and knew that Kai could not lead the coven.

### Isabella Marie Parker: Mine

In the beginning of the book, there is a flashback of Kai with newborn Isabella. In modern day time, Kai is seen walking into his daughter's former room and crying. He later sits on the bed with a bottle of beer mourning the lost of his child. Later, Katherine talks to him, asking him when was the last time he ate and slept and he replies with "*I won't eat or sleep until my daughter returns home safe and unharmed"*.
He is later seen in his room surrounded by a bunch of candles to try and track Bella. After her location is clearly pinpointed he performs a cloaking spell on himself. He travels with Katherine to New Orleans to find and retrieve his daughter.
He is disguised as a tourist until a mysterious women tells him where is daughter is. She is living in The Abattoir. Later, he finds Klaus torturing his daughter. Angered, he uses his telekinesis to throw him away and fights off his enemies. Guilty for all the bloodshed, Kai shields Bella's view of all the blood and dead bodies.
Later in Mystic Falls, Kai uses a water healing spell on both Katherine and Bella. He's seen watching over his daughter as she is sleeping for a good hour. As he exits the room, he places a boundary spell on her room and he says to himself "*no one will ever enter this room unless they are from my bloodline.*"
In the morning, Bella tells him the she has been abused most of her life. Kai holds her to his chest telling her that she didn't have to worry anymore, because he wasn't a father like that.

## Personality

* Siphoner
* Witch-Vampire Hybrid

Kai was a charmingly unstable newcomer with the unsettling ability to seem normal as the situation demands. He can be both playful and obsessive with a mix of adolescent angst, likely stemming from the fact that he was referred to as an "abomination" due to his unique magical ability. He was shown to be a psychopath originally, after merging with Grayson and gaining emotions, something he himself later confessed to.

He appears to enjoy killing people, as he has done so when other methods could easily have been used to escape the situation. He had also used the threat of murder to manipulate people into doing what he wants.
After become an non-original witch-vampire hybrid, Kai's emotions were heightened, including his negative traits; he became more cruel, sadistic, ruthless and vengeful, he also had a sadistic sense of humor.

## Powers and Abilities

* Siphoner
* Witch
* Witch-Vampire Hybrid

Despite having no magical power of his own, he appears to have paid attention during his coven's teachings, as he was quickly able to use his powers to cast spells, showing that he has the knowledge required.

In addition to having the ability to siphon magic, Kai can sense magic in others, but this power was limited to being close enough to touch the person he intends on sensing the power on.

However, the little time he had spent practicing magic has caused him to not be able to focus his abilities very well. It took him a few tries before he could get spells to do what they were supposed to do, however, after that he is capably of easily using them.

After Kai merged with his younger brother Grayson his powers grew stronger, which gave him access to Grayson's magic permanently. With his new-found powers after "The Merge", he considers himself mega powerful as the new leader of the Gemini Coven. Kai's recent spell was powerful enough to transport himself to the Prison World.

Kai's twin brother, Kaiaphas, transferred all of his magic to him making him even more powerful.

Kal possessed all the standard powers and abilities of a non-original witch-vampire hybrid. However in *You Are Dear to My Heart*, Kai's physical strength was seemingly unusually strong even for a witch-vampire hybrid. He was stronger than some vampires and has shown to be able to fight vampires of greater age as well, consistently defying normal expectation of such outcomes.

His compulsion far surpasses any other Vampire and this is demonstrated when he compels a group of people at once without eye contact.

Kai is stronger and faster than any vampire and is one of the most powerful supernatural beings in the universe. He has strength at least on par with Klaus.
