Brandon Smith when her was resurrected in 2018. He created this curse by using the immortality spell, combined with a vampire (who is over 500 years old) heart, blue moon werewolf venom, and a significant amount of witches.

A lunar vampire was created by Brandon to fight off his brothers. When Brandon was resurrected in 2018, he was only a mear witch. Unlike his brothers who were Original vampires. After his resurrection Brandon became a vampire, making him a witch/vampire hybrid. Brandon was also made into an original vampire by his witches. But his powers were still significantly weaker than that of his brothers.

The lunar vampire curse causes an original vampire to become stronger and much faster than that of a non-original vampire. Lunar vampires are products of a lunar eclipse. If they are fighting while an eclipse is happening, they will become much stronger and faster. This happens because Brandon used the power and energy from the lunar eclipse to act as an talisman.

Lunar vampires are immune to werewolf bites, and lunar vampire bites. It its unknown if a zombie bite can kill then

## Powers and Abilities

* **Super strength:** Non-Original lunar vampires are stronger than Werewolves, Evolved Werewolves, non-Original Vampires, Supernatural Hunters, Immortals and Humans. Due to their vampire side, they also get stronger with age. A lunar vampire is stronger than an original, depending how old the vampire is when they turn. A vampire like Nickolas Johnson who is over 1000 years old, is barley stronger than an original. When Nick was turned into a linar vampire, his immense strength was doubled. He has even strength to overpower an original vampire. 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 Werewolves in human form, non-original vampires, and hybrids. Their strength allows them to jump higher and further than any natural creature.
* **Super Speed:** Non-Original lunar vampires possess the similar speed as non-Original vampires. They are slightly faster and are 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.

* **Super agility:** Non-Original lunar vampires 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 lunar vampires possess extremely keen senses of hearing, sight and smell that far exceed those of non-original vampires, humans and werewolves.
* **Super Durability:** Non-Original lunar vampires 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 lunar vampires 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 lunar vampires 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. Lunar vampires will heal from a stake to the heart, and heart extraction. Only a removal of the head can kill them.
* **Lunar Vampire bite:** Lunar vampires have a toxic and fatal bite, Similar to a werewolf bite, their bite is extremely toxic to all vampires.

## Weaknesses

* **Broken Neck:** Breaking an lunar vampires neck will result in the lunar vampires unconsciousness.
* **The Cure:** If an lunar vampire takes the cure, they will revert back to being a human 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 lunar vampire 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, lunar vampires are unable to enter a home without an invitation.
* **Magic:** lunar vampires 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 them even with being a witch, they are still susceptible
* **Physical Trauma:** Minor physical injuries such as gunshots, stab wounds, and broken bones will cause an lunar vampire 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.
* **Vervain:** Vervain prevents an lunar vampire from compelling anyone who takes it and burns them on touch. lunar vampires will heal very quickly from vervain wounds, however.
