**Jaxon "Jax" Elijah Gilbert Salvatore** is a main character in *Legacies* and a former recurring character in *The Originals* before being promoted to a main character in the fifth season. He was also a recurring character in the eighth season of *The Vampire Diaries*. Jax is the tribrid son of Stefan Salvatore and Alex Gilbert; the triplet brother of Nina and Lily Salvatore; the younger half-brother of Jack and Hope Mikaelson; and the older half-brother of Miranda, Jenna, and Nik Mikaelson.

He is the grandson of Giuseppe Salvatore, Lillian Salvatore, John Gilbert, and Isobel Flemming and the step-grandson of Alaric Saltzman. He is the nephew of Damon and Theo Salvatore as well as Arielle Labonair and Elena, Ariana, and Jeremy Gilbert; the grand-nephew of Grayson Gilbert and Miranda Sommers-Gilbert; and the adoptive grand-nephew of Jenna Sommers. He is also a distant relative of Lana and Eve. He is the adoptive older brother of Adella Mikaelson through his mother. Due to his marriage to Alex, Niklaus Mikaelson is his step-father.

His middle name is after his mother's friend, Elijah Mikaelson, and he takes the surname of his father and mother's side.

After having the Hollow's spirit separated into four members of his family; he, his siblings, and Alex leave for Mystic Falls. He becomes a student at the boarding school and as time goes by, he and his siblings becomes determined to see Klaus again, despite the consequences that could ensue.

**Jax** is a member of the **Salvatore Family**, **Gilbert Family**, **Labonair Family**, **Lescheres Family**, and **Petrova Family**. Jax is by birthright; is a member of the **Crescent Wolf Pack**, **Divine Coven**, **Trinity Coven** in which he descends directly from the main branch of witches in the powerful **Lightwood Family**, and **French Quarter Coven**.

## Personality

* With Humanity
* Without Humanity

Even when Jax was a baby, he was a fighter. He is also very intelligent as he was able to use his magic at a very young age. He seems to be a kind and gentle young boy, with a sweet and innocent persona. He is also rather lonely, never having any other kids her own age to play with other than his siblings, cousins, Lizzie and Josie Saltzman, Luna Lockwood, and Lia Bennett.

Jax, like his father is very compassionate, kind, noble, honorable, intelligent, athletic, responsible, academic, dutiful, a gentleman but now as a full Tribrid he's brooding, inscrutable, intense, kind, caring, empathetic, compassionate, loving, affectionate, heroic, noble, selfless, brave, intelligent, protective, and loyal.

Jax is a ripper, he has a blood addiction if he drinks human or smells human blood. If he consumes copious amounts of human blood, his attitude can change as seen with his father. If unstable he can be volatile, unpredictable, rash, reckless, careless and can become highly destructive. The "ripper" side of him usually can cause him to push people away and become emotionally cold, withdrawn and distant.

When Nina and Lily brings up Stefan which allows his humanity to take the form of the real Jax to breakthrough. He says he's the real Jax Salvatore and that love, family, and loyalty is what makes him strong and what makes him Stefan's son.

After defeating Ken, Jax sees a message from his father who's been at Peace. He wants him to live his life and understand that despite the inevitable hard times ahead, he's a Salvatore and will survive. With the knowledge Stefan is okay, Jax finally lays him to rest and takes his fathers advice as he prepares for the next chapter of his immortal life.

After willing shutting his humanity off, he admits he feels free from the pain and suffering he's felt all his life. He lost the desire to be around those who previously cared for him, but his triplets and older sister and brother. To accomplish this, he and his siblings brutally attacks Alaric to send a message to his friends and family not to come after them. He has a behavior of a ripper, getting it from his father and paternal grandmother.

His careless and reckless attitude continues, as he rips into people and killing them. Jax's dedication to his family is also gone, as he doesn't want Hayley's help or any of the other of his family to come for him. He tells Hayley he doesn't want to be fixed, that he'll be the greatest ripper the world has ever seen.

The only emotions Jax does seem to express is boredom, brutal honesty, and rage. He lashes out on his cousins and helps knock them out with Nina and Lily's assistance. On the flip side, he remains incapable of harming those he truly cared for when his humanity was on, an observation Violet points out. He doesn't kill Alaric but severely wounds him, doesn't kill his family despite them trying everything to turn his humanity on, and doesn't harm Violet even though she harmed him which demonstrates a sense of love and loyalty and some depth of care.

Nina and Lily finds Jax tearing apart a family and they stop him to remind him that it's not him. Jax says it's better then the real him, that he doesn't have to care about feelings to stop him from being the greatest ripper.
## Physical Appearance

As a baby Jax had light brown hair but then darken to a dark brown like his mother and ancestor, Katherine Pierce.

Now as a teen, Jax is very handsome and athletic like his father. He has a mysterious aura kinda like his mother and father. Jax has a tan complexion, getting it from his mother. He has curly, dark brown hair which is styled to keep his hair out of his eyes. Jax has a natural heartwarming smiling. Jax is of slightly above average height, about 5'11", and he has a lean, flat-muscled and athletic physique.

In regards to his clothing and fashion sense, Jax was generally trendy and casual. He likes wearing darker colors, sometimes seen in a white t-shirt. He likes wearing t-shirts, jeans, sneakers, and leather jackets. Jax is a casual, yet trendy dresser and he always looks neat, clean and well put together.

All though he can walk in the daylight without a daylight ring he wears his fathers large, silver lapis lazuli daylight ring on the middle finger of his right hand in memory of him. On the lapis lazuli stone bears the Salvatore family crest with the letter "S" for the first letter of his fathers first name. He often wears the Mikaelson, Petrova, Labonair, and Salvatore crest.

As a Labonair, he has the Crescent birthmark on his right shoulder, just like his mother, siblings, aunts, cousins, and distant relatives, Eve, Lana, and the Hollow.

In his wolf form, Jax possesses light brown and white fur and has the typical glowing yellow eyes that comes with Lycanthropy. In his vampire form, Jax maintains his golden yellow eyes but gains black veins that cascade from his lower eyelids to just above his cheekbones.

## Powers and Abilities

As a hybrid of three supernatural species — a witch, a werewolf, and a vampire; the full extent and limits of Jax's powers are currently unknown.

Jax, his mother, his siblings, and cousins are Nature's loophole that could be used against Malivore. Due to this, they can remember those that they previously knew and have been consumed by Malivore as well as heal others with his blood that have been shot with weaponized Malivore bullets.

* Witch-Nature
* Werewolf-Nature
* Vampire-Nature

Jax is a witch-hybrid, having inherited his witch gene from his mother, Alex. One of the Hollow's acolytes reiterates this sentiment when he states that Jax and his siblings might be the greatest witches the world may ever know.

After five years of being hidden from the world with his siblings, Jax has been able to heal insect wings with no formal training, with his bracelet removed. He's also had a connection to the Hollow, drawing her sigil, the Ouroboros, though whether that was an inherent connection or the link that was used in an attempt to sacrifice her, remains to be known. His connection to New Orleans soil, despite not being a apparent knowledge of the Ancestors, allowed him to communicate with them, where as non-witches could not. It is worthy to note that Jax has detected these events while still wearing his bracelet that blocks his power.

In *Keepers of the House*, while other children were unconscious as a result of being tied to a spell that was draining their energy, Jax was able to retain her consciousness like his siblings until his magic sealing bracelet was removed by Klaus. In *High Water and a Devil's Daughter*, Jax and his siblings would later use their telekinesis to break the salt circle that bound the spirit of Davina to the mortal plane, sending her back to the Ancestral Plane, and returned their father back to his body.

Seven years later, Jax has improved control over his magic as a teenager; however, such control is lost during bursts of anger. He has also shown skill in creating his own spells with his siblings, such that he and his siblings created a spell combined with a cloaking spell that he, Jack, Hope, Nina, Lily, Stella, and Adella performed on Alex and Hayley, as they were the one to kidnap them and lure Klaus back to New Orleans. They claimed that it was the "perfect" cloaking spell and that it would keep them safe; despite this claim, they were kidnapped again.

While he, Hope, Nina, and Lily was the Hollow's vessels, containing both spirit and Dark Magic, there magic was amplified by that of the Hollow, as she whispered to them in her attempt to corrupt them. During this time, their telekinesis and pain infliction seemed to be amplified as purging their pain, by using their magic, seemed to be the only course of treatment.

Two years later, now with the Hollow expelled from his body, his magic seems to have become more stabilized and in his own control.

Unlike every witch that transitioned into a vampire, Jax did not lose his ability to practice magic when he became a full tribrid. He was, however, unable to access his magic when he was in transition which left him vulnerable. After feeding, he regained access to his magic, in addition to his vampire and werewolf natures.

Jax is also part werewolf, having inherited the werewolf gene from his mother. Prior to triggering her curse, he displayed some increased agility and grace, above that of a normal human. Since he has triggered his werewolf gene, he has gained all of the powers of lycanthropy. In *The Tale of Two Wolves*, with Jax's first transformation with his siblings looming, Caroline questions that Crescent wolves could control their transformations. In response, Klaus states that the first transformation is a rite of passage and cannot be controlled. This implicates that his werewolf nature as an Evolved Werewolf with the ability of Transformation Control.

Additionally in *The Tale of Two Wolves*, Klaus explains that during werewolf transformations, the pain will make one want to delay the shift because that is all they believe they can handle. However, should one let the pain in, then it cannot break oneself. Following Klaus' instruction, Jax has accepted the pain during his transformation, thus it allows him to fully transform within a few minutes instead of a few hours. Despite that the werewolf curse was originally casted upon Native American witches, preventing them and their descendants from using magic, Jax's lycanthropy does not negate his ability to practice magic; further reasoning about this has not been elaborated upon.

Upon completing his transition into a fully activated tribrid in *See You On The Other Side*, Jax gained the ability to transform from human to wolf form within seconds while magically maintaining his clothing. His transition also included an energy wave that rippled over his body as he transitioned from one form to another, a trait that is not present in other werewolf transformations.

Before becoming an activated tribrid, Jax possessed a few vampiric traits, specifically his blood. His blood is able to heal himself, such as when he sliced open his hand. His blood can be used to sire new vampires and hybrids and make them do whatever he wants using his sire bond to them, the latter being an ability possessed by the Original Hybrid, his step-father and the Original Tribrid, his mother as well as to heal vampires from a werewolf bite.

Jax now is truly immortal and can only be killed by a red oak stake from the Red Oak Tree. Jax showed great proficiency in utilising his vampire powers. After completing his transition, Jax was still able to practice magic. His true form did not alter much, as he maintained his golden eyes.

Furthermore, he has been discovered to be a ripper, a vampire driven by blood and obsession. He is prone to losing control when feeding on human, but more particularly when seeing or to the scent of human blood.
## Weaknesses

As one of the hybrid of all three supernatural species, the full extent and limits of Jax's weaknesses are currently unknown.

Emmett claimed that Marcel's advanced werewolf venom can take down a hybrid, an Original, and *even* Hope Mikaelson, her siblings, and her cousins. However, he gave no evidence as to why it would or could be lethal to Hope, her siblings, or her cousins; nor has this been proven to be true.

While searching for a way to kill the tribrid, Cleo Sowande allegedly saw a weapon powerful enough to kill Jack and Hope as well as their siblings, cousins, and mother, though Cleo didn't elaborate as to what it was specifically.
