Mortal Tribrid

Nothing like them has ever existed before so we have no idea what they could do! We know nothing about what they can control or not! They could be a danger to all of us!
— **Freya Mikaelsdotter** about **Hope** and **Olympia Mikaelson**
**Mortal Tribrids** are a rare and powerful creature that is created by the combination of witch, werewolf, and vampire bloodlines. They are alive but have unique vampiric traits. There are currently only three known in existence.

## Creation

Two of the three Mortal Tribrids that currently exist were born of unions with an Original Vampire. This species was created when Niklaus Mikaelson conceived Hope Mikaelson with Hayley Marshall, proving that his werewolf side was able to overpower his vampire nature in order to allow him to procreate.

The second Mortal Tribrid was born as the result of a spell cast by Esther Mikaelson, allowing all of her Original Vampire child to conceive a child with their partner regardless of either's vampire status.

## Variations

### ½ Werewolf - ¼ Vampire/Witch

Hope Mikaelson is the only existing and known example of this variation of a mortal tribrid. She received one-fourth of her werewolf, vampire, and witch from her father, Niklaus Mikaelson, and the other one-fourth of her werewolf from her mother, Hayley Marshall-Kenner. Hope has the ability to practice magic and also has enhanced agility and senses due to her vampiric nature.

### ½ Siphoner - ¼ Vampire/Werewolf

You are a Hagen and Eriksson siphoner with a werewolf mother and an original vampire father. You are so special that you could bring all the factions together and that is against their beliefs.
— **Dianna** to **Olympia**

Olympia Mikaelson is the only existing and known example of this variation of a mortal tribrid. Olympia received one-fourth of her witch and werewolf genes from her mother, Dianna Mikaelsson, and one fourth of her witch and vampire genes from her father, Elijah Mikaelson. If she had been born a full witch, Olympia's natural power of two Norwegian witch bloodlines would have been too much for her body to contain; so she was born a siphoner, rather than a witch, to protect her from that. She is the second known siphoner of the Hagen bloodline and the first known siphoner of the Eriksson bloodline, and as a firstborn, Olympia holds tremendous siphoning power.

### ½ Witch - ¼ Vampire/Werewolf

Eden Griffith-Malraux is the only existing and known example of this variation of a mortal tribrid; though she was magically created, not naturally conceived like Hope or Olympia. Eden was created by magically combining Freya and Keelin's eggs into one (which is what gives her one-fourth of her witch, vampire, and werewolf genes) and combining that with Vincent's sperm (thus giving her another one-fourth of her witch gene). She was carried and birth by Keelin.

## Powers and Abilities

### Olympia Mikaelson

* **Siphoning:** She has been shown to be able to siphon magic from much further distances away than most siphoners. She has been shown to be able to siphon from multiple sources even when some are rooms away at the same time. She is also shown to struggle with control over this ability of hers as she is shown to nearly siphon the vampirism (and by extension the life of) of nearly 10 vampires all at the same time even though only one (Elijah) was within her line of sight.
	+ Her siphoning is unique in the fact that she does not require physical contact in order to siphon.
* **Spell Casting:** Once she has absorbed magic from a source, she can then cast spells like any other witch.
	+ **Telekinesis:** The ability to move people or objects from one place to another.
	+ **Pain Infliction:** The ability to inflict excruciating migraines.
	+ **Pyrokinesis:** The ability to manipulate fire
* **Potion Brewing:** With her mother's instruction, Olympia has become quite capable with magical concoctions and elixirs with supernatural properties.

## Weaknesses

### Olympias Mikaelson

* **Mortality:** The amount of magic she is capable of siphoning at once and the amount of magic that her mortal body can handle channeling is out of portion to one another, nearly costing her her life if not for her mother's intervention. She can also die by any number of means that would kill a mortal being.
* **Dark Objects:** She is also shown not to be able to siphon from the Vampire and Werewolf sides of her nature, much like her half-cousin, Grace, but when the two are together they can siphon from these sides of one another's natures. It is also shown that if enough Witches are used to create an object to prevent siphoning (and it is unknown how many witches are required), she can be completely stripped of her ability to practice magic until the item (chains, for example) are removed, such as what occurred at Shiloh Place.
* **Lobelia Flower:** it is likely that if Lobelia Flower is ingested by Olympia, even if she were able to siphon magic she would be unable to use it until the effects of the flower wore off, though it is likely to take a large amount of this plant to do so.
* **Witch-Knockout Powder (Witch Sleeping Powder):** It is shown that due to the fact that a Siphoner is by genetics a witch, this powder has the same effect on her that it would on a Witch, however at Shiloh Place she showed that due to being able to siphon the magic effect of the dust, the effects do not last nearly as long as it would on a Witch, and that due to the strength of her siphoning, it does not last nearly as long as it did on her half-cousins, Hope and Grace, even though the latter is also a Siphoner and would have been able to siphon it as well.
