## Biography

Brandon Vincente Marshall was born on November 20, 1972 as **Karsten Mateus North** and was the son of Vincente North a warlock and practicing psychiatrist and Aurora Devereaux a human and woman of faith. He was conceived when his parents had an affair while she was being teated for her anxiety and drug addiction. During his birth, he was surrounded by priests because he was dubbed as evil by his mother after hearing a prophecy: *"the reincarnation of the wolf will be carried in mortal flesh"* and feared that he would become evil.

He was adopted by Liliana Marshall when it was revealed that Vince ran out of options to protect him from his mother and witch hunters who sought to kill him. From there on, he was raised as one of Liliana's children.

Brandon's teenage years was one of his hardest. With constantly getting into fights with his adopted brother. Brandon lived with Vince, who he believed to be his grandfather. During high school, he was extremely problematic but brilliant. He would then graduate and attend Stanford University where he majored in bioengineering and met the woman of his dreams. He then attended Harvard in 1995, and graduated in 1998, with a bachelor of medical sciences.

## Personality

"*I am a king, and I will not be disrespected.*"
—****Brandon**** to **Katerina Marshall** in *The Darkest Parts of Yourself*
Brandon is charming and cunning as well as deceptive. Like his father before him, he possesses a fierce and sometimes dangerous temper. He also has a way of getting what he wants. However, Brandon knows right from wrong and suffers from childhood trauma; the death of his mother at the hands of Grayson. However, with the birth of his niece, his priorities have begun to shift from redeeming him to ensuring her safety. Brandon acts as the family enforcer. He has become utterly ruthless in defense of his family in their war against Jéssę Russell-Huyler. Brandon's personality has become much darker, violent, and ruthless. Before being rescued by his family from Jéssę, Brandon has developed slight PTS (post-traumatic stress) as he dislikes being locked up, even if it is for his protection. Despite this, he shows no remorse for his actions regarding others in the same aspect, such as with Jéssę, knowing the feeling of being secluded for an extended period.

When it comes to his family, specifically the ones who mean the world to him, Brandon will go through extreme pain to ensure their safety. Brandon is noted to become vengeful when his enemies threaten the people he love. Had he not met the woman of his dreams, Brandon would have been what his mother had once described him as cruel & vindictive and ultimately dangerous.

## Physical Appearance

Brandon is a young handsome man. He is tall 6' (1.83 cm). He possesses dark brown hair and blue-gray eyes. More familiarly he had blonde hair that he has continuously dyed over the years. He also has a penchant for dark clothing such as polo shirts and button-ups as well as black skinny jeans. He also possesses a muscular build. While in his werewolf form, Brandon is an Alaskan timber wolf, and Katherine describes him as breathtakingly beautiful. He has the standard glowing eyes in his wolf form, but as a human he possesses red glowing eyes, indicating that he is an alpha wolf. Noted by some, Brandon looks like his father when it comes to facial expressions.

## Powers and Abilities

* Werewolf-Witch Hybrid
* Werewolf-Vampire Hybrid
* Spirit

As the son of the witch who was responsible for the creation of the wolf species, it was revealed that Brandon's lycanthropy does not negate his abilities as a witch, something that was thought to be unique to the tribrid. He is regarded to be one of the most powerful warlocks of all time. He also could inflict pain upon others as when he made Reuben think he was suffocating. However, Brandon was not always the great and powerful warlock known to the supernatural community. Instead, it was recently revealed that what led Brandon to improve his power was the loss of his mother at the age of 15. On that day, Brandon angrily promised his brother that he will rise in the black arts and become a powerful warlock to avenge his mother. Because he has Vince's blood running in his veins, and having inherited dark magic, this can taint his werewolf side, making him even more angry than before.

Brandon's physical strength is seemingly unusually strong. He is stronger than some vampires and has shown to be able to fight vampires of greater age as well, consistently defying the normal expectations of such outcomes. Brandon is currently the strongest werewolf hybrid known. Brandon continues to show great skill in physical combat, such as fighting multiple vampires at once and defeating all of them, seemingly one by one. He even moved fast enough that some of them couldn't even counter his attacks and could remove their hearts in the blink of an eye. Recently, Brandon demonstrated yet another unusual level of his powers by transforming into his wolf form within seconds, something that takes werewolves hours to complete. While in his werewolf form he was able to completely dismember them in seconds.

As a spirit, Brandon was shown to have the ability to speak to the living. This was demonstrated in *Give Em' Hell Boy*, when he speaks to Josiah.

No matter how many times they could get into an argument, it's noted that the two are made for each other.

### Luna North

"*Loosing you will break me.*"
—****Brandon**** to **Luna** in *Washing Away the Blood I've Spilt*

Jojo is Brandon's only grandson and he deeply cares about him. Brandon is the only one who can calm Jojo down and the only person who understands his needs.
