**Elias Ari Hale**, or **Eli Hale** for short, is a shifter werewolf, and son of evolved shifter wolf and Alpha, Derek Hale, and werewolf-witch hybrid, Conri Tlanta. Eli is the grandson of legendary Alpha Werewolf Talia Hale and her unnamed husband, the nephew of Laura and Cora Hale, the grandnephew of Peter Hale and the cousin of Malia Hale. He is also the nephew of his late uncle, the Greek hero Perseus, on his birth father's side.

Eli is a member of the **Hale Family**, and the **Tlanta Family** and is a member of the **Hale Pack**

## Early History

**August, 2011**; Conri Tlanta drug Derek Hale to a bar in Mexico a few blocks away from their hotel where they drank alcohol mixed with wolfsbane, getting Derek drunk, and Conri extremely horny. They slept together in Derek's bed in the hotel room, and by the next morning, Conri left, but not before Peter Hale, Derek's uncle arrived and smelled the faint scent of new life on the bedsheets where Conri had been sitting. The hybrid was extremely fertile, and had conceived Eli only two hours after he and Derek had sex.

Due to Conri's genetic Omega characteristics, and the fact that he was carrying a child of both werewolf, and shifter werewolf heritage, the gestation time was closer to that of an actual wolf, similar to the gestations of the earlier werewolves that were closer to their wolf. Conri returned to his Victorian mansion in Long Island, which he'd held since 1916, when the mansion was bought by himself and his mother, Danae Tlanta, to house their wolves and witches during the wars. Conri's pregnancy was drastically shorter than normal, only four and a half months, compared to the normal gestational time of nine months, but as he was a wolf, he could handle it.

Eli grew faster than normal human babies, so by the time Conri was two months along in the pregnancy, Eli was at the stage of a five month old fetus, and by three months, Eli was nearly grown to full term. When Conri hit four months of his pregnancy, his wolf mind shifted him into his wolf form, and he migrated to the pool house, built over one of the underground tunnels, from the mansion, and had a back door that let directly out to the forest that took over eight acres of Conri's property.

**December 17th, 2011;** Eli was born in wolf form, a little baby cub that Conri's wolf took care of inside the pool house, until Eli's baby wolf grew soft, baby fur and he was able to trot alongside Conri's wolf form. His baby set of teeth had just started to come in when he had to shift back into a human for the first time at Conri's demand.

Eli remained a baby wolf as he grew for another month, until Conri forced him to shift back with a howl, and when he shifted back, he had the physical appearance of an eight month old. He was still mentally at one month old, so he didn't age physically until his mental state caught up with his body, which had grown bigger due to being born as a wolf.

**January 2012;** Derek Hale meets Eli for the first time in the living room of the mansion, and Peter Hale also meets his great-nephew. Eli bonds with Derek for the first time when his father puts him on his chest, and both he and Conri file Eli's birth certificate together, Conri wanting to give Derek a say in Eli's name.

Derek suggested Eli, and Conri came up with Elias, the formal version of it, before declaring that Eli would become a Hale, and Derek was surprised why Conri was deciding to name their son after Derek's family, and not his own. Conri assured him that Eli was both of them, and that would be reflected in his name. Conri decided on the middle name "Ari" meaning "Lion of God" putting it all together to name him; Elias Ari Hale.

Eventually, Conri learns why Derek and Peter went to find him. He was worth a lot of money on a supernatural Deadpool in Beacon Hills, and because he didn't want harm to come to Derek's family, some of whom were in Beacon Hills, and Derek himself was on the Deadpool, Conri left Eli behind with his grandmother, Danae for the first time.

**February 2012;** Upon returning, Conri and Eli were inseparable and Derek started sleeping in the same bed with both of them. Eli starts to register Derek as his father, and lets him feed him, rock him, hold him, and nap with him while Conri took care of diapers until Derek convinced him to let him take over while Conri took care of Eli's feedings.

**August 2012;** Eli's mental age finally catches up to his physical age of 8 months, and he begins to age naturally again, making both Derek and Conri relieved that he was healthy. Around this time, Conri got long texts from Stiles Stilinski, who had helped him when he had been in Beacon Hills, taking out the entire army of assassins involved in the Deadpool.

Leaving Eli with Derek, and taking one of his werewolves with him, Conri returns to Beacon Hills, and Eli grows even closer to Derek, while starting to feel separation anxiety from Conri. By the time he gets back, Eli is unable to let him go, and Eli meets his cousin, Malia for the first time, as well as Stiles, and once again, Peter. His whole family is together and he starts to bond with them.

**September 2012;** Eli starts talking, and Derek learns that Conri has been speaking in Norwegian to the boy, and Eli was rapidly learning the language, much to Conri's enjoyment. By the time Eli was nine months old, he was mostly speaking in Conri's native language, and Derek was the parent, along with the rest of his family and the pack that spoke English to Eli.

**October 2012;** Theo Raeken starts bonding with Eli after starting to live inside the pool house, and Eli enjoys his company if it means he gets food, and cuddles, since Theo uses him as a weight for working out on occasion. His English gets better, as does his Norwegian as Conri continued to teach him fluent Norwegian. When Halloween comes around, Eli is taken out in the neighborhoods by Peter and Theo, and has a good time being the cute baby dressed up for Halloween, to trick people into giving him candy.

**November 2012;** For Thanksgiving, Eli spends the whole day being taken around the house by his parents, being shown off to the rest of the house as everyone worked around the twin's cooking schedule until Liam Dunbar and Noah Stilinski arrived at the house and the entire event went haywire as Eli was presented to them, and was sitting with Conri and Derek at the table, while Liam asked Theo who he was, and when Theo told him that Eli was Derek's son, and Liam asked about Eli's mom, Eli was talking to Conri in Norwegian.

**December 2012;** In preparation for his birthday and Christmas, Conri took Eli out a lot, and one day when they came home, they found Derek playing the piano, and Eli was sat on the piano bench with Derek as he continued to play for a few more minutes, before he and Conri took Eli into the kitchen, and later, spent a lot of time in the living room when they put the Christmas tree up.

On Eli's birthday, he snuck out of his room to find Theo, and woke the chimera up who had been sleeping on the couch, and got him ready for the day as Derek and Conri were planning to take him on a day trip with just himself, Eli and Derek. They had a picnic in the park after lunch, and came home with Eli, and went to the pool.

**January 2013-May 2013;**

**Early 2015;** There was an evening when Eli was very young and was playing in the floor of his house when a pack of wild coyotes broke into the Hale residence. Derek scared them away by shifting into a Werewolf and unleashed a roar powerful enough to shake the whole house. Unfortunately, he scared and traumatized Eli to the point that he spent the majority of his time in his room and refused to talk to his father for several days. It was this event that created Eli's refusal and lack of interest in accepting his supernatural status and learning in how to control his abilities, which was why they never manifested after this traumatic experience.

## Personality

As an infant, Eli learned from his parents example, and was a joy to be around, always lighting up a room with his smile. He is a happy child and loves talking to the people in his family, especially in Norwegian, which is something he becomes extremely proud of when he becomes more aware, and starts developing core memories. He loves putting together puzzles, and eating bananas and croissants that would be baked fresh by two twin witches, Naeomi Snow, and Nixie Snow; both native to France.

When Eli was very young, about 3 years old, he was playing in the floor of his house when a pack of wild coyotes broke into the house from the forest surrounding the mansion, heading straight for Eli, but the happy toddler did not notice them until Derek entered the room, and scared them away by shifting into a Werewolf and unleashed a roar powerful enough to shake the whole house.

Unfortunately, he scared and traumatized Eli to the point that he spent the majority of his time in his room and refused to talk to his father for several days at a time, until Conri returned home, and was informed of the situation from a distraught Derek, before going into Eli's room, and holding him in his arms, to soothe him, but it wasn't enough to help him recover.

It was this event that created Eli's refusal and lack of interest in accepting his supernatural status and learning in how to control his abilities, which was why they never manifested after this traumatic experience. After this, Conri never pushed Eli about his supernatural status, accepting that in time, he would accept himself, and when he would, Conri would be there for him.

As a teenager, Eli becomes rebellious and reckless, just like many other teenagers, getting into trouble with some of his soccer teammates in the beginning of the school year. He also takes to sneaking out of the house, through the window when he and Derek move to Beacon Hills, something that was impossible for him to do when he lived at the Victorian mansion, his birth home. When he lives in Beacon Hills, Eli puts skills he learns from Jenefer Monique, who taught him to hot-wire vehicles, using Conri's Ford Mustang. Eli constantly steals Stiles' Jeep from Derek's auto-shop he opens, and takes it for joyrides, despite not having the keys.

## Physical Appearance

Eli is a medium-height, lean young man with long, wavy brown hair that gains more volume, the more he plays with it, curling around his ears and down his neck. Eli has blue-green eyes that he inherits from each of his fathers as his eyes sometimes appear to be a soft blue, which he inherited from Conri's pale blue eyes, or bright, green, which comes from Derek's hazel eyes. Eli also has fair olive skin, with a splattering of freckles on his nose and cheeks, and a small beauty mark on his chin.

He dresses like most teenagers in high school, such as flannel shirts, sweaters, jeans and boots. He has a pair of worn sneakers that Conri bought for him on his birthday in seventh grade, and they still fit since Eli's feet never grew again after his third growth spurt, in the end of sixth grade.

In his full wolf form, when he was a newborn cub, Eli's fur was a light gray, nearly white, which resembled the fur of his grandmother, Danae's wolf form, whose fur is a pure white, with the smallest brown tips dusted on the tips of the thick fur of her ruff. Since Eli hasn't shifted into a wolf since he was a newborn, the current state of his wolf form is unknown, since he has not yet unlocked the ability to perform the full shift, but it it likely in the same color tones as his hair, varying from light brown, to black, and his eyes would be gold, like in his beta shift.

## Powers and Abilities

**Supernatural Abilities;** After activating his supernatural abilities, and healing for the first time, Eli now possesses the common powers of a Beta-level Werewolf, which include;

* **Superhuman Strength;** Eli possesses superhuman levels of strength that allows him to break through chains and deadbolt locks, punch through brick and marble walls, and throw grown men across a room with ease. He is also able to snap a person's neck with one hand, flipping overturned vehicles back on their wheels, and bending rebar with his bare hands to use as weapons. He has not yet exhibited these powers, to their most drastic levels, but possesses them nonetheless.
* **Speed;** Eli can run much faster than most athletic human beings, being able to keep up with vehicles such as motorcycles that are driving at top speeds. He can also run on all fours in full werewolf form, even though he has not shifted into a wolf since infancy.
* **Agility/Reflexes:** Eli possesses supernaturally enhanced agility and reflexes that allow him to leap very high and across large distances, jump from several stories up and land lightly on his feet. He can also process moving objects much better than humans can, allowing him to catch projectiles in mid-air and dodge speeding bullets before he can be hit.
* **Durability:** Though Eli can sustain open wounds like any other creature, he are much more durable to blunt force trauma than the regular human, allowing him to be thrown through walls and fall from tall heights without fatal injury.
* **Senses:** Eli, like his wolf counterparts, has extremely sensitive senses of sight, hearing, and smell. He can see in total darkness and across large distances with great clarity, track scents for up to several miles and can hear whispered conversations across great distances and from outside of buildings with ease. Using his sense of smell in particular, Eli can interpret the chemosignals that indicate identity and emotional states, a skill that, with practice, can be developed to the point of a supernatural sense of empathy.
* **An Accelerated Healing Factor:** Eli possesses an extraordinarily enhanced healing factor that allows him to heal from most mild to moderate wounds within moments.
* **Ability to Absorb Pain From Living Beings:** Eli has the ability to absorb pain from animals, humans, and other creatures through tactile contact. This is usually done by touching the person who is in pain, or the injured body part and drawing the pain into themselves, which manifests as the Eli's veins darkening as his body processes it. He has not used this power yet, but knows what it does.
* **Animal instincts:** Due to being a werewolf Eli is an apex predator, and, as such, he can assert dominance over other animals such as dogs, cats and deer.
* **Werewolf Bite:** As inheritance of Eli's other werewolf heritage, he has a special venom in his glands that no other shifter werewolves have. This is a toxin native to genetic werewolves, and is a deathly toxin to vampires, monsters, and some other supernatural creatures.
* **Immunity to Silver:** Another trait from Conri Tlanta, Eli is immune to all forms of silver, and even wears some silver jewelry, such as rings on his fingers on occasion, such as school.

Like all of his kind, Eli is capable of shapeshifting his features into those of a shifter wolf, different than the shift into a genetic wolf. These traits upon shifing include;

* **Glowing Gold Eyes;** These glow upon activation, showing Eli's rank as a werewolf, and fade back to a natural human color when Eli wills them to.
* **Fangs;** Eli's fangs are razor sharp, and when he bites, the bite will definitely break skin, and are meant to be used in order to hunt.
* **Claws;** The claws of werewolves extend from their normal human nails and curl in the direction for slashing and ripping things apart.
* **Ridged Brow, Large Sideburns, and Pointed Ears;** These facial features are what allows the shifter werewolves to turn their features into those of a more lupine wolf.
	+ **Full Wolf Shapeshifting;** Some werewolves are able to do this, but not many, and it is usually exclusive to Alphas, however, because Eli comes from a secondary werewolf species, and not just one he was born in a full wolf shape, and after a month of life, he shifted back into a human, and hasn't shifted back into a wolf since.

* **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. He learned this skill from his grandmother, Danae's friend and werewolf, Jenefer Monique, when he hot-wired Conri's Ford Mustang for the first time.

## Weaknesses

Eli possesses the typical weaknesses of shifter werewolves, including;

* **Wolfsbane;** Though Eli is weak to the toxic flowering plant, Conri's werewolf-witch heritage makes him slightly less vulnerable, meaning he can easily heal from a wolfsbane bullet, but cannot heal on his own from mass amounts of it.
* **Electricity;** Eli is weak to electricity, but only on the same level as a normal human, as on Conri's side of the family, werewolves are invulnerable to electricity, so it doesn't interfere with his supernatural healing abilities when he is subjected to it.
* **Rowan Wood/Mountain Ash;** Eli is not as affected by Mountain Ash as he would be if he were a pureblood shifter wolf. He is a hybrid of both species, therefore he has an easier time with Mountain Ash, and is able to pass through barriers when concentrating, and using his strength.
* **Lunar Eclipse;** This celestial event can both weaken Eli, and supercharge him, as both wolves of his biology have different reactions to the eclipse. Shifter werewolves lose their powers during an eclipse, while genetic werewolves are able to shift at will for the small amount of time during the eclipse, so Eli remains in possession of his powers while other shifters lose theirs.
* **Magic;** Eli, like all werewolves that are rough bloodlines, he is susceptible to magical enchantments made by witches and hybrids. He can be put to sleep with a spell, or even killed with a spell.

## Etymology

* **Elias**: Elias 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. It means "elevated" or "high," with the "El" meaning God.
* **Ari**: The name, Ari means; Eagle; Lion; Sun-like. Its Scandinavian origins suggest Ari means “eagle,” while it's Hebrew origin means “lion.” In the Badaga language, Ari means “sun-like.”
* **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.
