Hybrid

### Distinction

An amalgamated species that possesses the combined traits and abilities of two or more supernatural species.

**Hybrids** are a cross-breed of two or more different supernatural species. The term is commonly used to describe a Wolfblood turned into a vampire due to the fact that they were the first supernatural hybrid to be introduced in the series. However, since the Wolfblood-vampire hybrid's creation, there have been other cross-breed hybrids revealed in the series' universe, such as Siphoner turned witch-vampire hybrids, Wolfblood-witch hybrids, and, in the unique case of Maddie Spellman, a witch-Wolfblood-vampire tribrid.

Hybrids possess both the strengths and some of the weaknesses of their parent races, along with powerful attributes unique to themselves alone due to their combined heritage. For Wolfblood-vampire hybrids, this includes Day Walking and being able to transform into a wolf without the Full Moon's influence. For siphoner-vampire hybrids, they retain their ability to siphon magic and their own vampirism as a power source for their use in witchcraft; as they did not possess their own magic as humans, this is a skill that makes them powerful.

To become a Wolfblood-vampire hybrid, a Wolfblood must have either Christopher or Madeline's Blood in their system before they are killed so they can awaken a short time later in transition. Because no regular vampire has ever attempted to use their own blood to turn a Wolfblood into a hybrid, it is likely that such an attempt would be unsuccessful. After a Wolfblood dies with Christopher' blood in their system, their transformation will be successful only if the wolf completes his/her transition by drinking the blood of a human doppelgänger. If a Wolfblood is turned with Madeline's blood, her blood can also be used to complete their transition as well, just as a doppelgänger's blood would. So far, all hybrids have been created by Christopher; with the exception of Dwayne, Ariana, and Henry Benoit, who were created by Maddie Spellman.

Only one hybrid, Christopher Mikaelson, has been turned into a hybrid before triggering his Wolfblood gene. (This excludes his daughter Maddie Spellman, who was born a hybrid). However, since Christopher is the Original hybrid and was turned into a hybrid with dark magic performed by his mother Grace as opposed to being turned by another hybrid's blood, it is unknown if untriggered werewolves can be turned into hybrids successfully via the normal procedure. If it were possible, the Wolfblood would presumably trigger their Wolfblood gene during their first kill as a vampire following the completion of their transition by feeding on the blood of a doppelgänger or Maddie Spellman. However, this has never been done before and concrete details are still unknown.

If a newborn hybrid feeds on regular human blood to officially complete their transition, the hybrid will become unstable, causing them to bleed from the eyes, become rabid, and eventually die in pain. This result was demonstrated during Christopher' first attempt to turn werewolves into hybrids in The Hybrid, after he sired Paige's Pack. However, it is unclear why that happens. It might be a reaction to being fed the wrong blood in transition in addition to feeling the effects of the full moon overhead. After Christopher sired Paige's pack, they all began to experience unbearable pain and profuse bleeding from their facial orifices until they either killed each other, were mercy-killed by Christopher, or dying of failed transitions combined with exsanguination.

## History

* The Original Hybrid
* A New Species
* The Sire Bond
* The Revolution
* The New Generation

The first hybrid, Christopher, was conceived when his mother Grace had an affair with the Alpha of their village's Wolfblood pack, Daniel. Her affair was kept a secret from everyone, as well as Christopher' Wolfblood heritage. However, when Christopher made his first human kill after being turned into a vampire, he triggered his Wolfblood gene, which turned him into a the world's first hybrid and revealed that he was the illegitimate child of the Alpha of the same pack whose member was guilty of killing Grace and Thomas's son, Daniel.

When Thomas, Christopher' step-father, learned about his wife's infidelity, he set out and killed Daniel and his whole family, which began the feud between vampires and werewolves which has been perpetuated across the ages and, to some extent, to this day. Being a hybrid, Christopher has additional powers that his siblings and father do not. However, Grace, the Original witch, cast a spell on him to suppress his Wolfblood side and prevent him from accessing the powers that came with his father's heritage, both as a duty to Nature (to balance his powers) as well as a way of atoning for her affair. She bound the curse with the blood of the Tatia, the first Petrova doppelgänger, and the moonstone, and then turned her back on him, a move that resulted in her violent murder at Christopher' hands.

In 15th century England, Christopher, now a nobleman in England, along with his brother Brandon, came across Katerina Petrova, later to be known as Grace Pierce, a Petrova doppelgänger who had recently relocated after being banished from Bulgaria. When he recognized her as being the doppelgänger of Tatia, Christopher wooed her while secretly planning to use her to break the curse. However, upon learning the truth behind Christopher' desire for her, Katerina stole the moonstone and fled with help from Trevor, and ended up tricking Rose-Marie into turning her into a vampire, which put a damper on Christopher' plans to break the curse for over 500 years. In order to get back both the Petrova doppelgänger and the moonstone as soon as possible, Christopher spread a false rumor about a supposed "The Sun and Moon Curse" which limited the vampires' and werewolves' powers. In so doing, he set both vampires and werewolves, two warring species, into searching for a Petrova doppelgänger and the moonstone, knowing that any news of their discovery would eventually come back to him.

In 2010, Christopher enlisted a witch called Greta Martin to break the curse by sacrificing Jules, the Wolfblood, Jenna Sommers, who had been turned into a vampire, and Elena Gilbert, the Petrova doppelgänger. He succeeded in breaking the curse, but as he was in transition, Bonnie Bennett, a witch who had harnessed the power of a hundred dead witches, attacked Christopher with the force of nature and pushed him to the brink of death. Christopher' older brother, Brandon, attempted to kill him for having daggered and disposed of their family, but Christopher revealed that the bodies of their siblings were safe and that he could take him to them. Brandon helped Christopher escape, despite Bonnie's threat to kill them both even if it meant death herself. Christopher completed the transition and turned into a wolf for two days, killing many and remembering the kills. He later noticed that the fact that he had stayed a wolf after the full moon meant he could change into wolf form at will.

Christopher is more powerful than any other hybrid both because he is an Original vampire with over 1,000 years of experience as well as being able to turn into a wolf and kill any vampire with a single venomous bite. The difference between him and his pure vampire siblings are that Christopher cannot be neutralized by the dagger coated in white oak ash. Also important, unlike other hybrids or vampires, Christopher can also compel other vampires and hybrids. Christopher' blood is also the only thing that can cure a vampire from a Wolfblood bite's venom, as shown when he saved Oliver in exchange for William's loyalty.

Christopher wanted to become a hybrid in order to create his own species, to be used as soldiers that would aid him in anything he would face; in his words, "You don't build an army when war has been declared. You create an army so large that no one dare pick a fight." However, in truth, he really wanted a new family, one that was obedient and loyal to him, unlike his own siblings, who he alienated out of fear that he was unloved. Christopher brought William, who he had coerced into being his right hand man by curing Oliver of his Wolfblood bite and bringing back his blood-lust by forcing him to gorge on human blood for the first time in centuries. Christopher and William traveled all around the country in pursuit of werewolves who Christopher could turn into hybrids. They found Ray Sutton, a Wolfblood and caught up with him at a bar, where they tortured him until he admitted the location of his Wolfblood pack. Christopher fed Ray his blood before killing him, beginning his transition from a Wolfblood to a hybrid. From there, Christopher had Ray bring him and William to a Wolfblood pack in the mountains. He fed and killed all of those werewolves as well but as he did, all of them, including Ray, showed strange symptoms. They'd turn pale and sickly and feel sick, their eyes bleeding all of which Christopher had thought would fade away quickly but they did not. This turned all of them rabid and feral, so Christopher had to kill every last one of them, hugely disappointed by the failure of his hybrids. He traveled to Chicago to meet an old witch friend, trying to figure out what went wrong. When he learned that Elena, one of the sacrifices to unleash his dormant Wolfblood side, ended up living through the ordeal, he was furious about being tricked and though he, William and Christopher' sister Theresa assumed it was because she was still alive that Christopher couldn't mass produce hybrids, Christopher wanted to be sure before he took action.

He realized the Original Witch, his mother, had planned that if he did manage to break the curse on his body, then the Doppelgänger would have to die, so Christopher realized this was another trap by his mother and decided to do the opposite of the obvious. Instead, he decided Elena being alive was essential and that it was her Doppelgänger blood hybrids had to drink to survive the transition. With this hypothesis, Christopher turned Tyler Lockwood into a hybrid and with the help of Elena's blood, Tyler survived the transition and became the first successful hybrid. Successful hybrids had a built in sire bond to Christopher, feeling loyal and thankful to him for releasing them from the torment of having to transform on every full moon.

His victory was short lived, though. When Christopher heard rumors that his father, Thomas, was back and searching for him again, he fled. However, he took his time away from Mystic Falls to continue to build his power, turning packs of werewolves into hybrids with bags of Elena's blood he had managed to get before leaving. On these trips, he turned two of his most trusted hybrid lieutenants, Tony and Mindy, bringing all of his hybrids back to Mystic Falls when he heard that his father had been daggered by Elena. Throwing a party at Tyler's house, with all his hybrids as his backup, Christopher celebrated his father's daggering only to discover it was a trap. He expected as much, however, telling his hybrids that if anyone tried anything to hurt him, to tear that person apart. Thomas himself appeared having been able to use his compulsion on Mindy since she was still half vampire. Thomas threatened Christopher, telling him he was a coward to hide behind his hybrids. Thomas threatened to kill Elena if he didn't come outside, and Christopher called his bluff, so Thomas stabbed her. While Christopher was stunned at Elena bleeding out, Oliver took that opportunity to try to stake Christopher to death, but missed his heart. Grace revealed herself, having been posing as Elena, and she attacked the group of Christopher' hybrids with wolfsbane grenades to give Oliver more time to kill Christopher. However, William saved Christopher and giving him the opportunity to kill Thomas, knowing that the hybrids would kill Oliver if he succeeded in killing Christopher. In thanks, Christopher freed William from being compelled to serve him. William, appreciative of being released from his control, took revenge by stealing the coffins that contained his siblings, including a locked coffin that couldn't be opened.

The loss of his family's bodies made Christopher tighten his grip on Mystic Falls even more, deciding he wanted to settle there, in the place where he lived a thousand years before. His hybrids quickly began building a large mansion for his new home, which he hoped his family would soon live in as well. More than anything, he wanted his family back and was willing to hurt people if he didn't get his way. Tony, Christopher' right hand man, stalked Elena and after a scheme that nearly killed both her brother and Alaric Saltzman, Tony was beheaded and killed by Jeremy Gilbert. Christopher sped up his search for his family, having his hybrids search all over town, one of them being killed by William and Oliver when he was close to discovering the coffins' location at the old witch house. William decided he had to hit Christopher back hard for what he did, so after ordering Christopher to pack up and leave, he killed Mindy to show he was serious. Daniel Warren became Christopher' new favored hybrid, being there when Christopher was making his power play and solidifying himself into Mystic Falls by promising Mayor Lockwood that the hybrids would protect the town. William complicated things, though, attempting to kill Daniel but was interrupted by Oliver who saw the futility of killing all the hybrids, knowing it would only make Christopher even angrier.

Christopher then trusted Daniel Warren with an important task again, sending him off to threaten Bonnie's newly discovered mother, Abby Bennett Wilson, and when a deal was finally reached that involved the Salvatore's turning over his three brothers' coffins, Christopher seemed victorious. However, while standing by the coffins, saying that he'd un-dagger them once William was out of the way, Daniel's heart was suddenly ripped out by Brandon, who had been un-daggered by Oliver before being returned to Christopher. Brandon un-daggered the rest of the family and Christopher seemed to put his family first, focusing on them over his hybrids for a brief time.

Having been sired by Christopher, like all the other hybrids, Tyler Lockwood felt instinctively loyal to him. He would do whatever Christopher asked without a second thought, even helping in nearly killing Jeremy during the struggle over the Originals' coffins. Christopher had also ordered Tyler to bite Caroline Forbes, Tyler's own girlfriend, which would be lethal to her and when Tyler refused, it seemed he had finally thought for himself. However, the sire bond made him unwittingly bite her anyway the first moment he had a chance, showing that he truly had no free will anymore. This showed Tyler that being a hybrid really had its pitfalls, and after a lesson in trying to overcome the sire bond from Caroline's dad, fled town to try and figure out how to break it. He went out to the mountains where he transformed into a Wolfblood over and over, a hundred times, breaking all of his bones, because once he could own his pain, he would no longer owe Christopher for ending the misery of turning at every full moon. He had help from a young Wolfblood girl named Ariana and after months of self-torture and teaching himself control, Tyler felt comfortable enough to go home.

Tyler returned to Mystic Falls, telling Caroline that he believed that he was finally free from Christopher' sire bond but he couldn't be sure until he tested it out. Caroline told him to lay low as it was too risky and if Christopher found out the bond was broken, he'd no doubt kill him. Tyler disobeyed her after learning Christopher had shown romantic interest in her. He went to the school's 20s Decade Dance where he realized first hand that he no longer had to do what Christopher said, but kept up the illusion that he was still sired. He dropped the charade, however, when Elena was captured by Christopher who was trying to flee town since Alaric Saltzman had been transformed by Grace into a vampire with a White Oak Stake that could kill him. Tyler tried to free Elena, disobeying Christopher' direct orders but was caught by Christopher who tried to kill him since he was no longer loyal. Tyler fought back though and with the help of the Salvatore's and Bonnie's magic, they managed to desiccate Christopher' body, draining it of all of his blood and neutralizing him.

They planned on dropping his body in the ocean and being rid of him which overjoyed Tyler. However, when Alaric pursued them, wanting to fulfill Esther's plan of killing the Originals. They knew that since Christopher sired their vampire bloodline, that they would all die if Christopher died, and they knew that Alaric would go after Christopher first now that he was neutralized, so with their lives at risk, Bonnie performed a spell to transfer Christopher' soul into Tyler's body. This saved Christopher even when Rick staked him with the white oak stake. He remained in Tyler's body for a brief period before Bonnie returned him to his charred but healing original body.

Shockingly to all, Elena had been killed by Christopher's sister Theresa, with vampire blood in her system, turning her into a vampire. This made her blood useless to use in turning werewolves into hybrids so Christopher was forced to rely on the three blood packs he had left when he tried to kill her by draining her blood. Theresa crushed these packs, though, in a fit of anger after learning Christopher wasn't actually dead, and feeling betrayed because he chose to save Caroline over her. She accused her brother of trying to replace his real family with his hybrids, when he had her this whole time. This made it impossible for Christopher to make any more hybrids, and in his own fit of anger, disowned Theresa as his sister and snapped her neck.

After a new vampire hunter came to town and had tried to kill Tyler, Christopher ordered a few of his remaining hybrids to protect Tyler, citing that since hybrids were an endangered species now, he didn't want any more to die. Christopher learned that this new hunter, Connor Jordan, was a member of the Brotherhood of the Five and that this group of hunters was the key to finding a The Cure for vampirism. This cure gave him hope that he'd be able to return Elena to being a human and use her blood to fuel his hybrids once more. He took Connor captive, interrogating him for information and compelling Jeremy, who was the only one to see his Hunter's Mark, to sketch it, as the tattoo was a map to the cure. The tattoo grows with every vampire killed, so at the time it was only a partial map.

After receiving a vague sketch from Jeremy, Christopher had one of his hybrids, Nate, watch over Connor to make sure he didn't escape. Connor did just that, though, using his chains to rip off Nate's head, killing him. He brought Nate's head back to his trailer, where he extracted Wolfblood Venom from his mouth to use against the other vampires he wanted to hunt. With Connor out on the loose and Christopher flying off to Italy to find a sword that would help find the cure, he sent one of his most trusted hybrids, Dean, to capture Connor alive. Ariana, the Wolfblood who had helped Tyler break his sire bond found him in Mystic Falls and together, they plotted to help free the other hybrids from their sire bonds.

They tried to convince Dean that he shouldn't go after Connor, knowing it might mean death but his loyalty to Christopher made him go anyway. Connor had taken hostages at the Mystic Grill so Dean tracked him down there, entering the building cautiously. However, Connor had set up a trip mine that was connected to an explosive containing a lot of nails. Dean set off the trap, being caught in the explosion and pierced by dozens of the nails all over his body. Disoriented and wounded from the blast, Dean crawled up to his knees only to find Connor waiting for him, blowing a hole in his chest with gun, shooting out his heart and killing the hybrid, much to Tyler and Ariana's sadness and disappointment.

Despite Dean's death, Tyler and Ariana continued their efforts to free their hybrid friends. They would bring them to isolated areas and have them transform into their wolf forms repeatedly, dissipating the appreciation hybrids had for Christopher freeing them from their Wolfblood curse. They managed to free a hybrid, Chris, who helped them when Elena was suffering from the Hunter's Curse after she had killed Connor. However, when Chris was panicking, wanting to leave since he knew he'd die if Christopher found out he was no longer sired, Jeremy Gilbert arrived and killed Chris in order to activate his membership into The Five and save Elena from the Hunter's Curse.

This infuriated Tyler, upset that his high school friends would so ruthlessly murder one of the hybrids, especially one who was no longer loyal to Christopher. Tyler and Ariana continued their efforts, breaking the sire bond of twelve other hybrids, including Kimberley and Adrian. However, once there was no longer any loyalty to Christopher, their Wolfblood instincts made it so there had to be an alpha of the pack, a leader. Kimberley made her bid to lead, kidnapping Tyler's friends but Tyler nearly ripped her heart out, telling them all that he was the alpha and that he would offer them retribution for Christopher' crimes. They all followed Tyler, accepting them as their leader and his plan to rebel against Christopher began.

Tyler's plan came to fruition during the Winter Wonderland party the town was throwing. The plan was that the hybrids would all ambush Christopher and using the body jumping spell Christopher had always favored, and had used to possess Tyler a few months prior, have Bonnie plant Christopher' soul back into Tyler's body. They'd then bury Tyler's body in concrete, but only so long that the now freed hybrids would have a chance to scatter to the far reaches of the planet, far from the master they had betrayed. Despite his friends and mother not wanting him to go through with it, Tyler was adamant that it was necessary for his friends' survival. Good news arose, when Caroline and Bonnie brought up that they could put Christopher into Theresa's daggered body instead, not needing to use Tyler.

This made Tyler extremely happy but little did he know, his partner-in-crime, Ariana, had her own plans. She had been working with Atticus Shane, to help him complete the three sacrifices that he needed in order to create enough energy to fuel his plan to awaken the ancient immortal, Silas. Shane had promised her that Silas would be able to bring back her parents from the dead so Ariana agreed to help him gather twelve lives to kill in the second sacrifice(the first being the Town Council). She had Tyler gather all of the hybrids in one place but then, unknown to Tyler, told Christopher that his hybrids were no longer sired. Christopher, infuriated by the news, found the twelve un-sired hybrids in the woods.

He started by ripping out Adrian's heart before unleashing his wrath on his former pack, using his sword to behead and impale them. Kimberley managed to escape to the Lockwood cellar but Christopher followed her, realizing this failed attempt at a coup was Tyler's doing. He asked her where Tyler was but she tearfully told him she didn't know. He cut off her head, shattered by knowing that he now had no more loyal hybrids. He had stopped the uprising that Tyler had sparked but the cost of losing his followers made him want nothing more than to see Tyler dead. In retaliation he murdered Tyler's mother while Tyler discovered the bodies of all of his friends. Soon after, he found his mom's body as well, realizing his revolution had crumbled and Christopher had won, leaving the two of them as the only hybrids left on the planet.

Tyler was emotionally drained from the loss of his mother and pack at the hands of Christopher. Luckily for him, Christopher was too busy trying to find the cure to bother finishing off Tyler. However, after Elena and Jeremy had killed Christopher' brother, Dominic, and Bonnie had trapped Christopher in the Gilbert House, Tyler came face to face with his mother's murderer again. Gloating about the fact that his friends would get the cure and bring it back so he could shove it down Christopher' throat and kill him, Tyler was confident that Christopher' bloodline would be gone once he cured him, so there was no risk of dying when he killed Christopher. However Tyler was simply Making a mockery of Christopher, and he does not have any physical evidence, to back up this statement.

A new hope came for the hybrid race when it was revealed that they can have children with werewolves as Christopher impregnated the Wolfblood Ariana and now she is carrying his child. It was confirmed by witches that Christopher was the father through a spell one of them cast. This child is probably one of Christopher' only ways of making more hybrids until he obtains Grace's blood. It is unknown if Christopher can have children, with humans, or witches, or if non-Original male hybrids can have children, with werewolves, humans, or witches.

When Tyler came New Orleans for revenge against Christopher for what he had done to him, he began by kidnapping Ariana and tested a theory if the baby's blood could be used to turn hybrids it worked and he believed that Christopher would use the baby to sire more hybrids. With the tool of his revenge in front of him, he attempted to kill Ariana, but she escaped and Christopher arrived. There was a face off between the two hybrid and Christopher emerged as the winner. He didn't kill Tyler, but let him live in return so Tyler could still suffer even more now that he has failed.

The baby is revealed to have inherited witch abilities from Christopher, due to his mother, Grace.

The baby is born and her mother is killed mere seconds afterwards. However, due to the baby's blood in her system, she wakes in transition. Later, Ariana drinks a drop of her baby's blood so that she can complete the transition, becoming the first Hybrid of the new generation.

Tyler is stripped of his vampirism by the Travelers, leading to his death. After his resurrection, he is no longer a hybrid because he died as a Wolfblood. This leaves Christopher, Ariana and Charlie as the last remaining hybrids in the world.

## Siphoner Hybrids

* Aberrations of Nature
* The Next Generation

The first witch-vampire hybrids, were originally a subset of mutated witches known as Siphoners. Considered to be unnatural for their ability to steal magic from other supernatural species (witches, vampires, werewolves, etc) or magical objects, they were cast out of their Coven. The original six then became known as the Heretics, making their way to Europe, where they eventually met Malia Salvatore. Malia had been massacring several thousand people in Europe in the years after she turned in 1858. After meeting Malia, a Ripper vampire, and her lover Julian, they quickly became close friends and a family.

Sometime later with a fallen out with Julian, Valerie dies with Malia's blood in her system. Valerie recounts that she drew herself a bath, laced her tea with laudanum, and went quietly to sleep (possibly drowning as well), then by virtue of pure happenstance, she became the first Heretic both witch and vampire. Malia would eventually turn the rest into vampires so they could remain together forever as a family. However, because their unusual Siphoner abilities had not been accounted for during the creation of Nature's laws, the Heretics quickly found that, as vampires, they could not only still siphon magic from other objects and beings, they could also siphon the magic that made them immortal and use it as a power source. They even found that their siphoning abilities could allow them to cure themselves of the deadly Wolfblood venom (which would be fatal to any ordinary vampire who was unable to ingest Christopher' blood as a cure) by siphoning the magical basis of the Wolfblood venom.

About 50 years later, a siphoner by the name of Malachai Parke] was born to the Gemini Leader, Thomas Parker. As a young child being treated differently for his inability to create his own magic, he would grow up to be resentful, angry, and hateful especially towards his own family. Eventually he would kill the majority of his siblings so that he would Force the Merge to happen, taking the leadership from his father. Though he was tricked and sent to the 1994 prison world. Many years later he would escape and merge with his younger (though biologically similar) brother, Luke, taking his magic and becoming a 'whole' witch with his own magic.

While traveling to the 1903 prison world, and eventually being trapped there, he would meet Malia and her 'family' of heretics. He would eventually escape that prison as well bringing the Heretics along with him (Malia escaped earlier with Bonnie and company). To further spite his family and coven, he would take Malia's blood and kill himself, killing his coven in the process as well as becoming a newly turned Heretic. A new generation of Heretic in over a century.

## Powers & Abilities

* Werewolf-Vampire
* Witch-Vampire
* Witch-Werewolf
* Original Hybrid
* Tribrid
* Vampire-Dragon

Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids have the powers and abilities of both werewolves and non-Original vampires, both physically enhanced powers and abilities of mind compulsion. Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids will grow stronger with age due to their vampirism and will also increase in strength when enraged, due to their Werewolf side. Their strength will also increase during a full moon.

* **Super Strength:** Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids are stronger than Werewolves, Evolved Werewolfs, non-Original Vampires, Supernatural Hunters, Immortals and Humans. Due to their vampire side, they also get stronger with age. The full moon will boost their strength and aggression. Older non-Original vampires may be stronger and more challenging for many newborn non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids. However, if a non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid fights a non-Original vampire closer to their age range, the non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid will win. Ray Sutton (a dying transitioning, unsuccessful non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid) was shown to be very strong and nearly killed Damon, a non-Original vampire more than 170 years old, until Stefan saved him. Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids are even capable of putting up a fight against non-Original vampires well above their age range as seen when Tyler was able to gain the upper hand and bite Nadia, a 500 year old non-Original vampire. It should be noted that Nadia did manage to overpower Tyler eventually and escape, implying that she had equal or slightly superior strength. Julian, while possessing Tyler's body, was able to fend off both Caroline and Stefan and even managed to kill the latter through heart extraction. A non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid in Werewolf-form will be immensely powerful and may be a slight challenge for even an original vampire.
* **Super Speed**: A non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid's intensified quickness, agility, reflexes, and endurance makes them faster than any werewolves, evolved werewolves, non-Original vampires, supernatural hunters, immortals, and humans. Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids can use this ability in human or Werewolf form. As with strength, non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids get faster with time. The full moon will increase their speed and being in Werewolf form will make them even faster. Tyler was particularly fast as a non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid, being fast enough to surprise Christopher and stake him.
* **Super Agility**: Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids possesses much more superhuman stamina, flexibility, reflexes, agility, and dexterity than immortals, non-Original vampires, werewolves, evolved werewolves and humans. They can move, jump, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion.
* **Super Senses**: Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids have extremely keen senses of hearing, sight, touch, and smell that exceed those of non-Original vampires, werewolves, evolved werewolves, and humans. Since they're a supernatural crossbreed between werewolves and non-Original vampires, non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids have the combined senses of both species thus making their ability extremely effective, Tyler Lockwood has been seen to use his super senses on multiple occasions such as when he overheard Katherine (in Elena's body) say that Caroline slept with Christopher or when he was able to hear Nadia compelling Matt but a prime example of this ability is in "Home", when Tyler is resurrected and hugs Caroline but then he tells her that it felt different, because he was no longer a non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid.

* **Super Durability**: Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids can bear a lot of trauma. They also hardly ever get tired or fatigued. Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids can take far more trauma than any non-Original vampires, werewolves, evolved werewolves and humans, without much discomfort or injury. Stakes and arrows can not kill a non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid when they are struck in the heart, they merely become unconscious, they are able to resist the bullets created by The Brotherhood better than non-Original vampires as Stefan said to Tyler, that if he was a normal vampire he would be dead.

* **Enhanced Healing Factor**: Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids have the combined healing capabilities of both non-Original vampires and werewolves, rendering them practically invincible to anything but fatal wounds that can seriously impair their healing capabilities like decapitation or heart-extraction. They can recover/heal/regenerate from any injury much quicker and more effectively than any non-Original vampires, werewolves, evolved werewolves, and humans. They also seem to heal much more quickly when exposed to vervain, wolfsbane, or wood. Human blood has also known to make the healing process faster.

* **Immortality**: Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids stop aging the moment they transition. They become immune to all conventional diseases, toxins, poisons, viruses, illness, infections, and injuries.

* **Day Walking**: Due to their Werewolf heritage, non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids are immune to the lethal effects that u.v. rays and sunlight have on non-Original vampires and original vampires. Allowing them to walk in daylight without the use of a day ring.

* **Emotional Control**: Due to their vampire heritage, non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids are able to exert certain control over their own emotions, e.g. They can turn off their humanity.

* **Enhanced Emotions**: Because of their vampiric and Werewolf traits, non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids experience emotions more powerfully than humans and non-Original vampires. Particularly emotions such as anger, rage, aggression, and violence due to their Werewolf heritage. Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids are more prone to violence and rage than non-Original vampires. However, emotions such as love, joy, and happiness are intensified for them as well, allowing them to live life more intensely. This ability allows them to feel emotions at their peak regardless of their age.
* **Lycanthrope Enhancement**: Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids are capable of using their Werewolf features to further supplement their powers and abilities. Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids can grow claws from their nails and Werewolf fangs from their teeth even when they are still in their human forms. When Christopher was in Tyler's body, it was shown that a non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid's claws are sharp enough to penetrate a non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid's very durable skin. Also, non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids can display both sets of vampire and Werewolf fangs. Their eyes also change into those of their Werewolf form, presumably granting them better eyesight. Due to their Werewolf heritage, a non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid's strength and speed are heightened further during a full moon and at its peak in their Werewolf forms.

* **Mind Compulsion**: A non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid can compel the minds of Humans. They cannot, however, compel original vampires, non-Original vampires, Supernatural Hunters, Witches or Werewolves.
* **Shapeshifting/Transformation Control**: Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids have the ability to transform into their Werewolf forms at will. Most of them avoid transforming at all due to the pain it causes. They have complete awareness, but they still, however, have no control of their actions in Werewolf form. They can also perform partial transformations, manifesting single features of their Werewolf forms. Elijah informs Christopher that he remained a Werewolf for two days, even when the sun was up. Showing that a non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid can stay in Werewolf form longer than a normal Werewolf. As seen with Christopher when he bit Katherine, a non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid can transform partially, displaying their Werewolf eyes and teeth.
* **Sire Bond**: Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids seem to be sired to the source of their creation. Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids turned by Christopher had a deep sense of gratitude and commitment to him causing them to obey his every command. When Ellie Mikaelson's blood was used to turn a Werewolf into a non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid it obeyed Hayley's plea for help as she was still pregnant with Ellie and in danger. It is later revealed that Ellie's blood like Christopher' carries a powerful sire bond effect causing any non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid created from her blood to protect and obey her. A non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid is capable of breaking a sire bond if they transform into their Werewolf forms an excess of 100 times in a row. Transforming so many times in a row causes them to no longer feel pain from transforming into a Werewolf and they no longer feel a sense of gratitude, commitment or loyalty to their creator breaking the sire bond. Like non-Original vampires/original vampires, non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids can form a sire bond if the human they turn into a vampire has feelings for them before being turned. Although like non-Original vampires/original vampires, this is extremely rare.

* **Telepathy**: Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids have the ability, albeit a weak variant, to enter the minds of others as long as theirs is stronger than them. Normally, this ability works in a tactile fashion and the non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid requires physical contact in order for it to work successfully. Hayley has also been shown sharing her memories with others. Like their physical attributes, their mental strength increases with age.
	+ **Dream Manipulation**: Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids can control dreams and subconscious like non-Original vampires/original vampires. They can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares, or lucid dreaming. Other effects of this ability are the distortion of reality and trapped in the dreams.
	+ **Illusions**: Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids have the power to trick the minds of others into seeing/feeling things that aren't actually happening.
* **Werewolf Bite**: Due to their Werewolf heritage, non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids and Christopher have venom which is fatal to non-Original vampires and they themselves are immune to Werewolf venom. Non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrid venom seems to take effect much faster than a normal Werewolf venom.
* **Immunity to Silver**: Due to their Werewolf heritage, magic bonded to silver doesn't affect non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids. Weapons made of silver might wound them, but the wound heals at super-normal rates than regular wounds.

The hybridization of a witch and a vampire has long been thought to be impossible. However, a subsection of mutated witches with the ability to siphon magic known as siphoners have shown to bypass this rule. A group known as the Heretics consists of these hybrids.

* **Siphoning**: Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids possess the rare ability to absorb magic, in all forms, from another source.
* **Spell Casting**: Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids after having absorbed magic, possess the ability to cast spells like any witch.

* **Super Strength**: Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids have the same strength as that of non-Original vampires and are noticeably much stronger than Supernatural Hunters, Immortals and Humans and slowly grow stronger with time. They always have the advantage of superior strength in direct combat with a human. Their other feats include single-handedly lifting grown men high off the ground by the throat and snapping their necks, cutting off a person's head with their bare hands, and ripping out internal organs such as hearts with little to no effort. Their strength is also more powerful than that of Werewolves and Evolved Werewolfs in human form. Their strength allows them to jump higher and further than any natural creature.

* **Super Speed**: Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids possess the same speed as non-Original vampires; able to accelerate their movements to cover short distances in an instant, faster than the human eye can see. When running across long distances, they appear as vibrating blurs of motion. Their reflexes are similarly heightened. Like their strength, their speed increases with age.

* **Super Agility**: Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids possess superhuman agility. They have shown that they can move, jump very high, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion. They can jump with their super speed too. These abilities increase with age.

* **Super Senses**: Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids possess extremely keen senses of hearing, sight and smell that far exceed those of humans and werewolves.
* **Super Durability**: Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids can take a great amount of physical damage without being slowed down. Even vampires who have been shot with wooden bullets have been seen to continue fighting, as long as they were not shot in the heart, or the head. As they get older they become more powerful.

* **Healing Factor**: Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids possess the ability to recover tissue from any form of physical damage to their bodies in seconds, but still feel the pain of a wound before it heals. Vampires can snap their bones back into place after being broken and have been seen to fully recover from gunshots, stab wounds, and torso impalement.

* **Immortality**: Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids stop aging once turned. Upon their transformation, they become immune to all conventional illness, diseases, viruses and infections, though the exception is cancer, which can only be exacerbated by vampirism.
* **Day Walking**: Due to their Siphoner heritage, non-Original witch-vampire hybrids are be immune to the lethal effects that u.v. rays and sunlight have on non-Original vampires and original vampires. Allowing them to walk in daylight without the use of a daylight ring.

* **Enhanced Emotions**: Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids experience emotions more powerfully than humans. Emotions like love, joy, and happiness are magnified for vampires, allowing them to live life more intensely.

* **Emotional Control**: Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids have the supernatural ability to remove or dull their emotions by "turning off" or "switching off" their humanity which is directly connected to their emotions. Doing so allows them to block out their more negative emotions, such as fear and guilt, allowing them to feed and kill without remorse.
* **Mind Compulsion**: Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids have the ability to influence and control thoughts, emotions, and behavior and can alter or erase memories.

* **Sire Bond**: Although rare among them, sire bonds can be formed when a human is turned with the blood of the vampire whom they had strong human feelings for.

* **Telepathy**: Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids have the ability, albeit a weak variant, to enter the minds of others as long as theirs is stronger than them. Normally, this ability works in a tactile fashion and the vampire requires physical contact in order for it to work successfully. Like their physical attributes, their mental strength increases with age.
	+ **Dream Manipulation**: Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids can control dreams and subconscious. They can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares or lucid dreaming. Other effects of this ability is the distortion of reality and trapping people in their dream.
	+ **Illusions**: Non-Original witch-vampire hybrids have the power to trick the minds of others into seeing/feeling things that aren't actually happening.
* **True Face**: A non-Original witch-vampire hybrid's true face is the appearance they are hiding under their normal human face. When their true face is revealed, the sclera of their eyes turns blood-red, dark veins appear under their eyes as the blood pumps forcefully through them, and their canine teeth extend into razor-sharp fangs. Their true face can be revealed whenever they wish, but it will appear against their will whenever they are aroused by the scent of blood, or are feeling intense emotions such as anger, lust, sadness, etc. Their fangs are extremely sharp which gives them the ability to tear into almost any substance (including and especially flesh) and tear off limbs. Their true face will appear for the first time, either while they drink human blood for the first time or shortly afterward. With the fangs come the darkened veins under the eyes as well.

Christopher Mikaelson and Taylor Hale are the only two known witch-Werewolf hybrids known throughout the franchise, though Christopher was untapped prior to becoming an original vampire, later the Original hybrid.

* **Channeling**: Witch-Werewolf hybrids have the power to invoke extra forms of energy by focusing on external forces.

* **Potion Brewing**: Witch-Werewolf hybrids have the power to brew and concoct potions, remedies, and elixirs that have supernatural properties.

* **Spell Casting**: Witch-Werewolf hybrids have the power to change and control events through the use of incantations and more.

* **Divination**: Witch-Werewolf hybrids have the power to divine future, past, and present events based on extrasensory perception.

* **Super Strength**: Witch-Werewolf hybrids have the same strength as werewolves and are noticeably much stronger than Supernatural Hunters, Immortals and Humans. There have been several occasions to suggest that untriggered werewolves possess more strength than any average humans, which would indicate some form of enhanced strength even before the activation of their curse. However, werewolves in their human form are not as strong as a vampire, and have been shown to be far weaker. When they are in their wolf form, their powers amplify to a degree that excels that of the non-Original vampires, making them more powerful than non-Original vampires. In wolf form, a Werewolf can overpower and kill any non-Original vampire with ease, and can also defeat an Original vampire in small groups.

* **Super Speed**: Witch-Werewolf hybrids possess the same speed as werewolves; they possess this ability both in and out of transformation with an animalistic quickness; however, the power is faster at night than in the day, due to the moon's presence, and their speed increases greatly when the Werewolf is transformed during the full moon. In wolf form, however, while under the influence of the full moon, they can use their speed to swiftly chase down their choice of prey; even vampires.

* **Super Durability**: Witch-Werewolf hybrids can take far more trauma than humans without nearly as much discomfort or injury, however, not as much as vampires. They can also exert themselves for longer periods without tiring.

* **Healing Factor**: Witch-Werewolf hybrids possess superhuman regenerative abilities, meaning that if they are physically injured, their bodies will heal rapidly. Like Vampires, werewolves can heal from the most grievous of injuries, even in human form, albeit more slowly in comparison to vampires. However, unlike vampires, when a Werewolf's neck is broken, they stay dead.

* **Super Senses**: Witch-Werewolf hybrids have the extremely keen and heightened senses of smell, sight, taste, hearing and touch inherent in all canines. Because they are supernatural and have powers that exceed their wolf counterparts, they can hear, see, and smell better than that of regular canines.

* **Lycanthrope Enhancement**: Witch-Werewolf hybrids are able to make their eyes glow when angry or threatened, but only for a short amount of time. When a Werewolf is furious or forced to defend themselves, their anger increases all their power and abilities for a short period of time, which allows them to access some of their powers to give them an edge.

* **Shapeshifting/Transformation Control**: During a full moon, they will unwillingly transform from their human forms and into their wolf forms. However, if a female witch-Werewolf hybrid is pregnant, they will not turn for nine months as the transformation would kill the baby.

* **Werewolf Bite**: A witch-Werewolf hybrid's venom is extremely lethal to non-Original vampires. While an Original vampire cannot die from the venom, they are not wholly immune to the effects of the venom. For non-Original vampires, the venom acts as a poison of sorts that will enter the bloodstream and deliver the toxin throughout the body, producing discomfort and weakness. All vampires who are bitten will ultimately develop uncontrollable hunger that progresses to delusions, hallucinations, rabid rage, and dementia. After that point, non-Original vampires will finally die, though many are "mercy-killed" before that point.

* **Full Moon**: A witch-Werewolf hybrid's strength, speed, agility, and all their powers are enhanced to their peak during a full moon.
* **Immunity to Silver**: Witch-Werewolf hybrids are immune to magic bonded to silver. Weapons made of silver might wound them, but the wound still heals at supernatural rates and will not be fatal to them.

Christopher has the powers and abilities of both werewolves and Original vampires, both physically enhanced powers and abilities of mind compulsion. Christopher will grow stronger and faster when he is using his lycanthrope enhancement due to his Werewolf side. His strength and speed will also increase during a full moon. Christopher is slightly more physically powerful than his maternal half-siblings, even more so when enraged, using his lycanthrope enhancements or when he is in his Werewolf form; due to his Werewolf heritage.

* **Super Strength**: Christopher is much stronger than immortals, Supernatural Hunters, non-Original vampires, werewolves, Evolved werewolves, non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids and humans. He is able to decapitate other species with a single chop and shatter windows and doors with small objects. He is even slightly physically superior to the Original vampires, even more so when enraged, using his lycanthrope enhancements or when he is in his Werewolf form, due to his Werewolf heritage; Elijah and Dominic have displayed the ability to fight Christopher on almost equal terms, though not enough to defeat him. Elijah has been able to fight Christopher to a stalemate and has even defeated him once, while Rebekah has been easily subdued, though unlike Elijah, Rebekah very rarely fights back. Christopher' strength is enough that he could kill twelve non-Original Werewolf-vampire hybrids single-handedly, and was able to fight and kill twenty-four non-Original vampires on his own with only some difficulty as well as kill six evolved werewolves with little difficulty. Christopher has also been able to put up more of a fight against beings who have overpowered his siblings in strength, such as holding Alaric to a standstill over the White Oak Stake when he had become an Enhanced Original vampire whereas Rebekah was easily overpowered his siblings in strength, such as holding Alaric to a standstill over the White Oak Stake when he had become an Enhanced Original vampire whereas Rebekah was easily overpowered. Lucien, an Upgraded Original vampire, was proved to be much stronger than Christopher in their confrontations.
* **Super Speed**:\* Christopher' intensified quickness, agility, reflexes, and endurance makes him much faster than immortals, non-Original vampires, werewolves, evolved werewolves, non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids, supernatural hunters and humans, he is slightly faster than his Original Vampire maternal half-siblings, as he once said, "I'm faster than your average vampire", even more so when he is using his lycanthrope enhancements or when he is in his werewolf form; due to his werewolf heritage. He is able to stop other supernatural species in their tracks and run miles in mere minutes. His reflexes are similarly heightened, as he once caught Connor's arm before the latter could stab him with a small stake; he later saved both himself and Connor from an explosion intentionally triggered by Connor to kill both them and Damon. Only Marcel and Lucien, as Upgraded Original vampires, have been able to surpass his speed.
* **Super Agility:** Christopher possesses much more superhuman stamina, flexibility, reflexes, agility and dexterity than any immortals, non-Original vampires, werewolves, evolved werewolves, non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids, and humans, even slightly more than original vampires. He can move, jump very high, flip, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion.
* **Super Senses:** Christopher has a more enhanced sense of hearing, sight and smell that far exceeds those of other supernatural beings.
* **Super Durability:** Christopher can take far more trauma than other supernatural beings without much discomfort or injury. However, like with his maternal half-siblings, he has never been dismembered, implying that his durability may be close to invincibility though he can still be hurt. Wood and White Oak Ash Daggers do not weaken him, making him virtually indestructible.
* **Enhanced Healing Factor:** Christopher heals and recovers faster from any and all injuries than those of other supernatural beings. He also seems to heal much more quickly when exposed to vervain, wolfsbane, or wood than the individual species. Vervain or wolfsbane laced liquid has also been shown to weaken him, though he recovers from the effects much more quickly. Human blood has also been known to make the healing process faster.
* **Immortality:** With the last White Oak Stake destroyed, no physical weapon on earth can kill Christopher. Nothing but immense magical power worth a hundred witches summoned by an exceptionally powerful witch, or the bite of an Upgraded Original vampire, can kill Christopher. Despite the extent of his immortality, Christopher still needs to feed otherwise he will desiccate and become immobile just like any other immortal or vampire-based species.
* **Day Walking:** Due to his werewolf heritage, Christopher is immune to the lethal effects that UV rays and sunlight have on vampires thus allowing him to walk in daylight without the use of a daylight ring.
* **Emotional Control:** Due to his vampire heritage, Christopher is able to exert certain control over his own emotions and can turn off his humanity.
* **Enhanced Emotions:** Because of his vampiric and werewolf traits, Christopher experiences emotions more powerfully than humans and other supernatural beings. Particularly due to his werewolf heritage, he experiences emotions such as anger, rage, aggression, and violence more deeply and more prone to violence and rage than the other Original vampires. However, emotions such as love, joy, and happiness are intensified for him as well, allowing him to live life more intensely. This ability allows him to feel emotions at his peak regardless of his age.
* **Lycanthrope Enhancement:** Christopher is capable of using his werewolf features to further supplement his powers. Christopher can grow werewolf claws and fangs even when he is still in his human form. Christopher can display both sets of vampire and werewolf fangs. His eyes also change into those of his werewolf form, presumably granting him better eyesight. Due to his werewolf heritage, Christopher' strength and speed are heightened further during a full moon and at its peak in his werewolf form.
* **Mind Compulsion:** Christopher can compel the minds of most sentient creatures; humans, non-Original vampires, and non-Original hybrids. He cannot compel supernatural hunters that are members of the Five due to them being immune to mental manipulation. Christopher cannot compel werewolves, evolved werewolves, or any of the other Original vampires. His inability to compel werewolves was even confirmed by Ray Sutton.
* **Shapeshifting**/**Transformation Control:** Christopher has the ability to transform into his werewolf form at will. Elijah informed Christopher that he remained a wolf for two days, even when the sun was up. He can transform some features partially, displaying his werewolf eyes and teeth.
* **Sire Bond:** Non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids turned by Christopher had a deep sense of gratitude and commitment to him, causing them to obey his every command.
* **Telepathy:** Christopher has the ability, albeit a weak variant, to enter the minds of others as long as he is stronger than them. Normally, this ability works in a tactile fashion and requires physical contact to work successfully. Christopher has also been able to share his memories with others.
	+ **Dream Manipulation:** Christopher can control dreams and subconsciousness. He can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares, or lucid dreaming. Other effects of this ability are the distortion of reality and trapped in the dreams.
	+ **Illusions:** Christopher has the power to trick the minds of others into seeing or feeling things that aren't actually happening.
* **Werewolf Bite:** Due to his werewolf heritage, Christopher has venom which is fatal to non-Original vampires and Christopher himself is immune to werewolf venom. Christopher' venom seems to take effect much faster than a normal werewolf venom and a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid venom.
* **Werewolf Bite Cure:** Christopher' blood is the only cure for a normal werewolf or a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid venom, this ability seems to be unique only to Christopher and his daughter, Ellie. However, Christopher' blood won't cure a bite from the Beast.
* **Immunity to Silver:** Due to his werewolf heritage, magic bonded to silver doesn't affect Christopher. Weapons made of silver might wound him, but the wound heals at super-normal rates than regular wounds.
* **Procreation:** Sophie explained that Christopher was only able to procreate due to being the Original hybrid — a born werewolf, turned into a vampire by magic — Nature's loophole. This has since been made impossible.

Ellie Bennett is the only known witch-werewolf-vampire tribrid and the full extent and limits of Ellie's powers are currently unknown. According to Morgana, Ellie's werewolf temper and vampire blood would possibly taint her witch side. Furthermore, as a firstborn of her bloodline, Ellie will inherit great, but unstable power.Ellie completed her transition into a fully activated tribrid, giving her access to all of her abilities.

**Werewolf Gene:** Being part werewolf, Ellie's body contains the werewolf gene that provides her with standard werewolf attributes and provides her with enhanced senses, such as hearing, sight, and smell, as well as heightened aggression. Ellie even demonstrated that she can tell when someone is lying to them by listening to their heartbeat.Christopher states, in response to Caroline's question, that Crescent wolves and by extension, Ellie, cannot control their first transformation despite being able to control their shifts with Transformation Control as Evolved werewolves.Ellie explains to Landon that her ability to control her transformation stems from her tribrid status, as with other werewolf-vampire hybrids. Currently, whether it's the former or latter which grants her transformation control or additional abilities, remains unknown.

**Vampire Gene:** Being part vampire and prior to transitioning, Ellie's body naturally produced vampire blood, constantly running through her system, tainted with dark magic. As a fully transitioned tribrid, she seemingly possesses all the abilities of at least a non-Original vampire, such as compulsion. Ellie compelled a vampire bartender who was sent by Triad Industries to spy on her, and later, compelled a much older vampire.

* + **Enhanced Healing Factor:** Ellie can heal from injuries with a speed comparable to normal vampires. Her blood also retains the vampiric ability to heal others as Ellie was able to heal her mother while in the womb.
	+ **Siring:** Ellie's blood has the ability to turn werewolves into werewolf-vampire hybrids as long as they drink her blood before dying and after, completing the transition. She can also sire vampire-witch hybrids without the need for them to drink her blood after.
* **Witch Gene:** Being part witch, Ellie can channel vast amounts of mystical energy. According to Morgana, as a firstborn of her bloodline, Ellie has the potential for great, but destructive magic. As a fully activated tribrid, she can still practice magic and cast spells.
	+ **Channeling:** Ellie has the power to invoke extra forms of energy by focusing on external forces.
	+ **Potion Brewing:** Ellie has the power to brew and concoct potions, remedies and elixirs that have supernatural properties.
	+ **Spell Casting:** Ellie has the power to change and control events through the use of incantations and more.
	+ **Divination:** Ellie has the power to divine future, past, and present events based on extrasensory perception.
* **Werewolf Bite Cure:** Ellie's blood is the only cure for a normal werewolf or a non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid venom; this ability was inherited from her father, the Original hybrid, Christopher. Like Christopher' blood, Ellie's blood cannot cure a bite from the Beast.
* **Malivore Mud Bullets Cure:** Unique to Ellie, as her status of being one of Nature's loopholes and a tribrid, her blood is also a curative to Malivore mud bullets, weaponized by Triad scientists; this was proven when her blood healed Josie's wound. Her blood is also lethal to Malivore himself and what caused his destruction.

Caleb is, for a lack of a better description, a vampire-dragon hybrid, though the term "hybrid" has yet to be used. Caleb describes himself as only "part" dragon. Under the thrall of Malivore, he transferred a dragon into Caleb's body and used him to do his bidding. When Hope stabbed Caleb in the dragon's soft spot, Caleb died, though when he revived, he retained some of his dragon abilities. Understandably, an unusual conception to create a hybrid.

* **Vampire Nature:** As a vampire, Caleb possesses all the abilities of a non-Original vampire.
* **Dragon Nature:** When possessed by a dragon, transferred into him by Malivore, Caleb, rather the possessing dragon, possessed all the abilities of a dragon, such as fire-breathing and, at least, partial transformation. The dragon only demonstrated the ability to produce wings from Caleb's back. After Caleb revived, and Malivore was defeated, he still felt like himself, but could breath smoke from his nostril and he believed he was still part dragon. The full extent of this is unknown.

- **Overexertion:** The excessive use of magic could lead to disorientation, nose bleeds, unconsciousness, and if taken to the extreme, death.

- **Physical Trauma:** Minor physical injuries such as gunshots, stab wounds, and broken bones will cause a witch-Wolfblood hybrid pain and will also slow them down. However, this is only temporary, as they will heal completely within minutes.

- **Broken Neck:** Breaking an original Wolfblood-vampire hybrid's neck will result in the Original Wolfblood-vampire hybrid's unconsciousness.

- **The Cure:** If an original Wolfblood-vampire hybrid takes the cure, they will revert back to being a Wolfblood again. Once taken, the cure prevents them from being immortal again, causing the body to reject vampire blood.

- **Desiccation:** Being completely drained of blood or the heart-stopping will cause an original Wolfblood-vampire hybrid to desiccate due to their vampire side, losing most of it's strength and any ability to move. This process can be replicated artificially by magic.

- **Invitation:** Due to their vampire heritage, original Wolfblood-vampire hybrids are unable to enter a home without an invitation.

- **Magic:** Original Wolfblood-vampire hybrids are susceptible to the powers of witchcraft. This is inclusive of mystical objects such as the Starling Necklace, Gilbert Device, Papa Tunde's Blade, Cursed Stake and Dark Objects. It is possible, but equally as unlikely that a Siphoner can also siphon the magic from an original hybrid.

- **Physical Trauma:** Minor physical injuries such as gunshots, stab wounds, and broken bones will cause an original Wolfblood-vampire hybrid pain and also slow them down. However, this is momentary as they will heal completely within seconds. It seems physical trauma can hurt them anywhere on the body (ex-eye gauging, drowning).

- **Poison:** There are various poisons invented by Dr. Wes Maxfield and Aya, to name a few, that are capable of incapacitating or desiccating a vampire when administered. Christopher also used a poison to kill Tim that not even vampire blood could cure. It is unknown what effect any of these poisons would do if ingested by a non-Original Wolfblood-vampire hybrid.

- **Vervain:** Vervain prevents an Original Wolfblood-vampire hybrid from compelling anyone who takes it and burns them on touch. Original Wolfblood-vampire hybrids will heal very quickly from vervain wounds, however.

- **Wolfsbane:** When ingested, wolfsbane causes an original Wolfblood-vampire hybrid to become severely weak and feverish. Also, If an original Wolfblood-vampire hybrid's skin is exposed to wolfsbane, it will burn them. Original Wolfblood-vampire hybrid will heal very quickly from wolfsbane wounds, however.

- **Disbelief:** The act of denying or disbelieving in one's potential could cause Madeline to inadvertently suppress their magical power.

- **Distraction:** Denying Madeline from concentrating or giving full attention to her spells, may render them ineffective.

- **Emotions:** Madeline's magic is subject to the influence of her emotional state and may fluctuate according to them when untrained. According to Sheila Bennett, strong emotions such as worry and anger can fuel a witch's power while emotions such as fear may prevent a witch from properly accessing their powers.

- **Herbs:** Ingestion of certain herbs can cause a witch to lose consciousness and prevent them from using magic for an undetermined amount of time. The Lobelia flower prevents concentration and the practice of magic and can be used to weaken a witch as one would weaken a vampire with vervain. Being part Wolfblood and vampire, she may also acquire the adverse effects of wolfsbane and vervain as well.

- **Huntress' Blood:** Consumption of a supernatural huntress' blood will cause a witch to lose their ability to use magic. Prolong exposure poisons them, leading them to get sick and some brands will appear in their body and may eventually lead to death. According to Alex and Rayna Cruz, Rayna's blood can't be reversed for anything and all the attempts to make a cure were unsuccessful. It is unknown what effect Rayna's blood has on Madeline.

- **Magic:** Madeline is still susceptible to the powers of witchcraft. This is inclusive of mystical objects such as Papa Tunde's Blade, her bracelet, and dark objects. A siphoner can siphon the magic from a witch where prolong exposure may lead to death.

- **Mortality:** Despite her mystical attributes, Madeline is still human and share many of the same weaknesses as non-supernatural beings (e.g. age, decapitation, disease, heart-failure, suffocation, snapped neck, etc.)

- **Overexertion:** The excessive use of magic could lead to disorientation, nose bleeds, unconsciousness, and if taken to the extreme, death.

- **Unique Physiology:** Being born with aspects of all three species, Madeline's nature is somewhat at odds with each other. Diana deduces that without proper guidance, Madeline's potential as a firstborn of her family's bloodline will prove destructive and unstable when mingled with vampire blood and Wolfblood aggression.
	* **Death:** Having been born with vampire blood constantly produced in her system, Madeline has the potential for vampirism upon death.
	* **Murder:** Having been born with the Wolfblood gene, Madeline has the potential for lycanthropy when she kills someone.

### Hybrids

* **Doppelgänger Blood Magic:** If blood from the last pair of doppelgängers is used in the Magic Purification Spell, all non-Original Wolfblood-vampire hybrids will have their vampire powers stripped from them little by little and then they will be brought back to the last stage of their Wolfblood life; death. They will then relive the way they died when they went into transition to the point where they die again. Kai absorbed the magic purification barrier and it's gone now.

### Original Hybrid

* **Doppelgänger Blood Magic:** If blood from the last pair of doppelgängers is used in the Magic Purification Spell, an Original Wolfblood-vampire hybrid will have their vampire powers stripped from them little by little and then they will be brought back to the last stage of their Wolfblood life; death. They will then relive the way they died when they went into transition to the point where they die again. Kai, however, absorbed the magic purification barrier.
* **Golden White Oak Ash Dagger:** A weapon originally forged by witches and transmuted by Dominic and Natalie using Kemiya as a way to subdue Christopher since he is unaffected by White Oak Ash Daggers. If dipped into the White Oak ashes and then stabbed Christopher' heart, he will be neutralized and desiccate and will remain that way for as long as the dagger stays in place. As of *Ashes to Ashes*, the dagger was destroyed by Diana.
* **White Oak Stake:** The White Oak Stake was the only weapon on earth that can permanently kill Christopher, Diana destroyed the indestructible white oak stake.
* **Enchanted Thorns:** Magically infused thorns created by Scarlet Witch, that were grown in the ground laced with Marcel's blood, an Upgraded Original Vampire. A single scratch from these thorns will kill an Original; the rosebush and thorns have all been destroyed.
