Ansel Ross

## Ansel Lukas Ross

**Ansel** was a werewolf who first appeared in the first episode of TMD ONE He was the former Alpha of the North East Atlantic Pack with whom Esther had an affair with and made for him the first moonlight ring. He was the biological father of Niklaus Mikaelson and Aryia Mikaelson also one other child whose descendants sired Cary, and the grandfather of Aria, Ariana, and Ansel he is the step father of Freya, Finn, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik he is the step-grand-father of Mikael Sheila, and Henry the father-in-law of Kiana and Barrett the step-father-in-law of Keelin,Stefanie, Katherine, Bonnie, and Stefan he is the second husband of Esther and she is his second wife of his.

Ansel lived in the 10th century, the alpha of a pack of werewolves in the land that would one day become the town of Mystic Falls. A powerful chief, Ansel followed what are now known to the wolves as the 'old ways'. These include a more warrior-like culture for the members of the pack and embracing one's wolf form by killing a human during the 'Blood Moon'. The pack would also hold the life of its own as more sacred than anything.

At some point in the late 900s, a new family came to the New World: the Viking Mikael and his wife, Esther, a witch. They came with their friend, a powerful witch named Ayana, and their two children: Finn and Elijah. The death of their first child, Freya, from the plague led them to their exile from Europe. The new family quickly integrated themselves into the life of the village, with Ayana becoming the village healer. This peaceful coexistence would continue for several years to come.

However, the death of Freya had driven Esther and her husband apart. As Mikael continued to shun his wife, Esther began to take an interest in the young werewolf leader of the village. She would later tell their son Niklaus that he was greatly admired by his pack and the others for his leadership. Esther quickly found herself falling in love with Ansel, feelings he reciprocated. They began an affair, one which resulted in the birth of Klaus and Aryia

However, although she did not regret her decision or her love for Ansel, Esther knew that should Mikael learn of their affair that he would kill them all in his rage. Instead, she ended her relationship with Ansel and returned to Mikael so that he would believe that Niklaus was his son and not the son of another. Niklaus' birth renewed Mikael's hope of a family and Esther would later have three other children by him: Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik.

However, Esther's love for Ansel remained strong for she apparently started working on a ring which would allow the wolves to keep themselves from having to turn on the full moon. However, before she finished working on it, another death struck the Mikaelson family; Henrik was killed by the turned wolves the night he and Klaus went to see them turn, against the laws of the village. Another child's death led Mikael and Esther to try and protect their children through magic. Esther cast a spell which made her children into the first of the vampires. The bloodlust of this new species led them to slaughter half the village in their hunger.

When Niklaus made his first human kill, his werewolf side was triggered, making him the first hybrid. Mikael discovered that he was not his son and, in his rage, he slaughtered Ansel, his family, and half the village's werewolves before forcing Esther to suppress Niklaus' werewolf side. Ansel's death and the massacre of his family and pack, was the first seed for the war that started between vampires and werewolves, a war that continues to the present day.
