Brandon North

**Brandon Christopher North** is the main deuteragonist of *The Voodoo Diaries*. He is a powerful hybrid, and the father of Rowyn E. North, whose mother is Katherine Navas, his ex-girlfriend. He is also the adopted son of the Loa Baron Samedi and the enemy of Alexander Kristensen who is the stepfather of his daughter.

## History

**Brandon Christopher North** was born on September 8th, 1923 in Portland, Ohio to unknown parents. At one point, he was abandoned by his birthparents and was found and raised as the son of Baron Samedi.

When Brandon was fourteen, he accidentally killed a human and he triggered his werewolf curse. He ran away from home, fearing that his father would find out and abandon him. While he was on the run he met Katherine Navas. The two had sex together and conceived their daughter.

After Katherine gave birth to their healthy baby daughter, Katherine ran away and married a man named Alexander Kristensen who became the step-father to their child.

## Personality

Brandon is a no-nonsense hybrid who will do literally anything to ensure the safety of his family. He is not easily scared by anything. He is described as a leader armed with a sharp tongue and confidence. Brandon has been seen to be reliable, determined, and fierce whenever things get difficult for him and his family. He is not above taking the initiative of handling things his way and would silence those who would oppose him. His sole motive is to save his family even when he knew that would put someone else in danger.

Brandon appears to be a very loyal person and is willing to kill whoever got in the way of his plans to protect his family. In spite of this, he will not hesitate to work with adversaries in order to achieve the greater good.

## Physical Appearance

Brandon is tall. His height is 6'1" (1.85 cm). He possesses white hair, and blue-gray eyes. He can normally be seen wearing dark clothing, jeans and jackets, although he can also use a more classic and refined outfit if the situation requires it.

Brandon is currently the strongest Witch-Werewolf hybrid in the world.

Brandon continues to show great skill in physical combat, such as fighting multiple vampires at once and defeating all of them, seemingly one by one. He even moved fast enough that some of them couldn't even counter his attacks and could remove their hearts in the blink of an eye. Recently, Brandon demonstrated yet another unusual level of his powers by transforming into his wolf form within seconds, something that takes werewolves hours to complete. While in his werewolf form he was able to completely dismember them in seconds.
## Weaknesses
