**Eli Hale** is a recurring character on *Teen Wolf: The Movie*. Eli is the werewolf son of Derek Hale. He is the grandson of Talia Hale, the nephew of Laura and Cora Hale, and the grand-nephew of Peter Hale. Eli is also the mate of Hope Mikaelson's daughter, Andrea Talbot Mikaelson.

Eli is noted to be fifteen at the beginning of *Teen Wolf: The Movie*. He plays lacrosse for Beacon Hills High School and claims that he isn't good at the spot, a view his father disagrees with.

He ends up injuring his ankle early in the film and his father, Derek Hale, noticed he's not healing; insinuating that his shapeshifting and other werewolf abilities have not manifested.

**Eli** is a member of the **Hale Family** and member of the **McCall Pack.**

## Personality

When Eli was first introduced, he appeared to be similar to other teenagers in his age with a rebellious streak in him, which was evidenced by his few rides in Stiles' Jeep, despite not having license or the keys to the vehicle. Hope mentions many times that he reminds her of a mini version of Stiles. He also demonstrated reluctance and lack of interest in accepting that he was born with his father's lycanthropy and learning in how to manifest his powers. However, despite his continued doubts and frustration over his inability to transform, his doubts were slowly shredded thanks to the guidance of Derek, Scott, and Hope and his confidence increased to the point that he joined his father, Scott, Isaac, Theo, and Hope in taking down the Nogitsune upon completely shifting into his wolf form. He was heartbroken when Derek decided to sacrifice his life and was immolated to death along with the Void Kitsune. However, his opinions towards his future changed for the better when Sheriff Stilinski gave Eli the keys to Stiles' Jeep and was taken in by Scott and Allison as their ward.

## Physical Appearance

Eli is a medium-height, lean young man with long, wavy brown hair, blue-green eyes and olive skin. He dresses like most teenagers in high school, such as flannel shirts, sweaters, jeans and boots.

## Powers and Abilities

Eli possesses the common powers of a Beta-level Werewolf, including superhuman strength, speed, agility/reflexes, durability, and senses, along with an accelerated healing factor, the ability to absorb pain from living beings and animal instincts. Like all of his kind, he is capable of shapeshifting his features into those of a wolf, including glowing gold eyes, fangs, claws, a ridged brow, large siderburns and pointed ears.

### Abilities

* **Mechanical Knowledge**: Eli demonstrated moderate understanding of how to hot-wire vehicles, which he proved when he managed to hot-wire and start Stiles' Jeep for a few rides, despite not having obtained the keys from the Sheriff.

## Weaknesses

Eli possesses the typical weaknesses of Werewolves, including wolfsbane, letharia vulpina, electricity, rowan wood/mountain ash and ultrasonic and subsonic frequencies. He is also vulnerable to the different moon phases-- full moons and supermoons, along with intense emotions like anger or stress, may cause him to lose control over his transformations whereas lunar eclipse leave him and his fellow lycanthropes absolutely powerless.

## Name

* **Eli**: Eli is a name with origins from the Hebrew Bible. It may be a given masculine name, as it came to be used as a given name among the Puritans in the 17th century and was by them taken to the American colonies. Alternatively, it may be used as the unrelated abbreviation of other Hebrew names, like Elijah, Elias or Eliott. It means "elevated" or "high," with the "El" meaning God.
* **Hale**: The surname Hale is derived from a geographical locality, "at the hale," i.e. "hall" (either as a proprietor or servant at a residence there). It is also derived from the Old English *healh*, meaning "nook" or "hollow." In Northern England, the name often has a specialized meaning, either denoting a piece of flat alluvial land by the side of a river, or as a patch of dry land in a fen. It is also sometimes a habitational name from any of the several locations in England that shares the same name. Additionally, it could also have origins as a Middle English personal name derived from either of two Old English bynames, *Haele* ("hero") or *Haegel*, which is akin to the Germanic *Hagano* meaning "hawthorn." The name Hale was first recorded as *De Halys* in 1130, and it is said that the earliest Hales were related to Saint Edward, which was how the family's coat of arms had their arrows pointing downward.
