Ethan

* Human
* Werewolf
* Merged

**Ethan Steiner** is a former antagonists who were introduced during Season 3 of MTV's *Teen Wolf*.

The characters are identical twin werewolves and had the ability to merge both their bodies into a single large creature. The mechanism for this transformation is never explained and was lost, along with their alpha status, when their merged form was "killed" by Jennifer Blake. After his brother was resurrected and that his brother joined the new Hale Pack, then Ethan decide to join the pack as well and with his boyfriend Jackson.

## Throughout *Teen Wolf*

### Season 3

The twins attempt to capture Isaac Lahey and a mysterious girl (Braeden). On foot they are able to chase down and almost catch the motorcycle on which Isaac and the girl try to escape with. After the bike wrecks, they merge into one giant alpha and begin to charge Isaac and the girl. An electrical bolt fired from a "modified tazer" causes them to split back into two separate individuals. Later, they appear at Beacon Hills High School and attack the mysterious girl again, along with the rest of their pack.

Ethan and Aiden are seen in friendly conversations with Lydia and Danny in the school library.

Ethan rooms with Danny during the team trip. The pair make out until Ethan begins to hallucinate and leaves to try to kill himself. Stiles Stilinski stops him. In the morning, he tells Scott that Derek is still alive. He blames him for the death of Ennis and says either he must join their pack, or be hunted down by Kali.

Ethan admits that he and his brother went after Lydia and Danny because they knew one of the two would be important to Scott. Aiden and Lydia make out. Both Twins hold Jennifer Blake captive during the attack on Derek's loft.

Aiden confronts Ethan and tells him to stop talking to Danny. Later, he is seen making out with Lydia until she confronts him about killing Boyd. Ethan reveals the Twins' backstory to Scott and Stiles: they were the Omegas of a pack, always the last to eat and the first to be abused, until Deucalion found them. He showed them how to control their power of merging together, allowing them to eliminate their whole pack and becoming Alphas by killing their own.

## Personality

Ethan, like his twin Aiden, was an aggressive person who did whatever was necessary to survive. However, Ethan has never seemed to possess the quick temper and impulsive nature that his brother Aiden displayed frequently. Also like Aiden, Ethan enjoyed taking advantage of his new-found Alpha powers by dominating those around him to compensate for the powerlessness he felt as an Omega, carrying out Deucalion's every violent order, even if it was an act with which he disagreed. However, after he went undercover as a student at Beacon Hills High School, he slowly began to become a more sensitive person, especially after he started a romantic relationship with Danny Mahealani. This led him to be the first member of the Alpha Pack to start questioning his orders, especially when he started to get to know the members of what would become the McCall Pack.

Upon learning that Deucalion lied about Derek killing Ennis and had really killed Ennis himself, Ethan defected from the Alpha Pack entirely and instead went to the McCall Pack for help in stopping Aiden and Kali from killing Derek.

Both Ethan and Aiden's association with the McCall Pack helped them to grow into more selfless and compassionate people who were willing to put their life on the line for their friends. In fact, Aiden ended up meeting his death while in a battle with an Oni to buy the pack time to defeat the Nogitsune, and though he gave up his life, he was able to kill the Oni in the process, proving to all who knew him that he did have the potential to be a hero.

## Physical Appearance

Ethan is a lean and muscular young man of medium stature, with slightly tanned white skin, reddish-brown hair, and hazel eyes, though Ethan is slightly taller and leaner than his twin, Aiden, though just as muscular. The twins preferred dressing in trendy clothing, choosing designer jeans, v-neck t-shirts in various colors, black leather jackets, and motorcycle boots.

## Powers and Abilities

Ethan and his twin brother Aiden possessed all the standard powers and abilities of an Omega-level Werewolf, including superhuman physical attributes such as strength, speed, agility, durability, and senses; the ability to shapeshift into a partially-lupine form that includes glowing blue eyes, fangs, claws, a ridged brow, and mutton chops; the ability to absorb pain from living creatures such as animals, humans, and other supernaturals; and animal instincts such as tracking and the ability to assert dominance over other canine creatures such as dogs.

As for Alphas, they also possessed the ability to merge into an extra-large Werewolf, an Alpha roar that could force creatures of lower rank to transform, and the ability to turn a human into a were-creature through a bite or a scratch, though this could also kill the human in question in some cases. Finally, they also could inflict wounds on lower-ranking supernatural creatures that would take longer to heal than normal wounds. These powers were lost when their Alpha form's body was killed by Jennifer Blake.

## Weaknesses

Ethan and Aiden possessed all the standard weaknesses associated with werewolves, which included wolfsbane, mountain ash, electricity, the modified canine distemper virus, and the lichen known as letharia vulpina. After getting their neck snapped by Jennifer Blake, the twins lost not only their alpha spark but their ability to merge as well. This made them weaker and more vulnerable to attack.
