**Malachai "Kai" Mikaelson-Parker** is the son of Joshua Parker and his unnamed wife, as well as the twin brother of Josette, and the older brother of Olivia, Lucas, Joey, and three other unnamed and deceased Parker siblings. When his true nature as a Siphoner is revealed in his adolescence after he accidentally siphoned dark magic, his family began to treat him poorly and referred to him as an "abomination," which, among other factors, made him more vulnerable to the dark magic and led to him growing up with sociopathic tendencies. He was closest to Jo because she consistently treated him with kindness and taught him magic when no one else in his family bothered to even touch him.

He was first seen trapped in a prison world with Damon Salvatore and Bonnie Bennett. After telling them his story, the three began a friendship and formed an alliance so they could all escape the parallel dimension and return to the real world. After escaping the prison, he sought out his twin sister so they could complete the merge. Jo agreed to do it, however, they had to wait until the next celestial event. The whole time the Gemini Coven, led by Joshua Parker, antagonized Kai and his new allies. Kai and Jo eventually completed the merge and he ultimately won, thereby becoming the leader of the coven. Kai placed Liv and Luke in a mystical slumber that was tied to his life and then stripped the rest of the coven of their power after they killed Jo and Alaric. Kai was the one that transferred his niece's fetuses to Caroline's womb. Shortly after, Kai left Mystic Falls in order to travel and explore the world.

Kai returns in Book 3 of Part 2 after Adrianna asks for his help with the conflicts in New Orleans. This is when he meets the Mikaelson Family and reunites with his friends. Kai becomes infatuated with Freya and decides to stay in New Orleans after the two began a romantic relationship. Towards the end of Book 3, Kai is kidnapped by some of the witches of New Orleans in order to be used as leverage against Freya. He ends up linking himself to the witches that were watching him before committing suicide and killing them. This also led to the death of his father and the rest of the Gemini Coven as they were still linked to him due to him being the current leader of the coven. Kai later woke up and transitioned into a witch-vampire hybrid. He also finds out that Freya is pregnant with his child.

By the end of Book 3, Freya bound Kai's life, as well as that of her siblings, to Klaus and placed their consciousnesses into a Chambre de Chasse. Kai and the Mikaelsons, besides Klaus, would spend the next five years in the dimension while everyone else tried to find cures to their various ailments.

He is eventually revived and happily reunited with Freya, his daughter, and the rest of his friends.

Kai is the husband of Freya Mikaelson and the brother-in-law of Finn, Elijah, Katherine, Klaus, Caroline, Kol, Bonnie, Rebekah, Stefan, and Henrik. He is also the father of Thalia Mikaelson-Parker. He is best friends with his wife Freya, Kol, and Katherine and is very close with Rebekah, Klaus, Adrianna, Bonnie, and Damon.

**Kai** is a member of the **Parker Family** and the **Mikaelson Family** due to his marriage to Freya. He is also the leader of the **Gemini Coven**.

## Early History

Malachai was born in Portland, Oregon in 1972 as the eldest son of Joshua Parker and twin brother of Jo. As a young child, Kai couldn't access magic like his twin sister, which greatly upset and distressed him. He was revealed to be a siphoner after he accidentally absorbed dark magic from some of his father's artifacts. His family began shunning him and he wasn't even allowed to touch anyone. The only sibling that would even speak to him was his twin sister, Jo. As twins of the Gemini Coven, Kai and Jo were expected to merge. However, Joshua and the rest of the coven knew that Kai would win the merge given his powers, and they didn't want him to be the coven leader. Due to this, Joshua and his wife kept having children until another pair of twins was born: Liv and Luke.

Not wanting his sister to die in the merge, Kai began searching for ways to save her life. On May 9, 1994, he found two spells that could potentially work and brought them to his father. However, Joshua dismissed it and insulted Kai before expressing that they had already found the solution to the problem, which was having another set of twins. Upon hearing this, Kai allowed his inner darkness, fueled by all the dark magic he has siphoned, to take over and he killed his siblings. Jo is able to talk him down after he stabbed her with a hunting knife, but before he found the twins. She expressed her love for him and agreed to do the merge, which allowed the darkness to subside for a few moments. As they were about to complete the merge, the coven harnessed the power of a solar eclipse to trap him in a purgatory dimension for his crimes and so he couldn't complete the merge.

In the Prison World, Kai tried to kill himself several times, each unsuccessful. He realized that it was part of his punishment, a safeguard by the Gemini Coven to make sure that Kai didn't end his eternal imprisonment early.

## Personality

* Siphoner
* Witch-Vampire Hybrid

When Kai was first introduced, he was charmingly unstable and could be both playful and obsessive with a mix of adolescent angst. This is likely stemming from the fact that he was referred to as an "abomination" due to his unique magical ability. As he was growing up, Kai exhibited sociopathic traits, such as a limited ability to empathize with others and little to no remorse for any harmful actions, due to the emotional abuse he endured from his family. According to Jo, Kai could be kind, persistent, and considerate, as shown in his determination to find a way to complete the merge and save her life. These positive traits were likely only shown to Jo as she was the only one in his family that treated him with love and kindness.

Like his ancestors before him, Kai had an inner darkness, however, this darkness was intensified by Kai's sociopathic traits and when he accidentally siphoned dark magic as a child. This culminated in the darkness taking over and leading to Kai killing 4 of his siblings.

Kai can be quite manipulative, vindictive, vengeful, and dangerous. After merging with Jo, Kai absorbed some of her personality, causing a slight change in his personality. He became more empathetic and sympathetic with the people around him, though this was almost always limited to those he considered true friends, such as Bonnie, Jo, Caroline, and at times, Damon. He also shows that he now feels more remorse for murdering his siblings than he did in the past, though he still places a majority of the blame on his father because he believes that his treatment led to that conclusion.

Despite this change in personality, Kai is still prone to anger and often seeks revenge against those that have wronged him, such as when he placed Liv and Luke in a magical slumber and tied the spell to his life. He also has a dark sense of humor and has shown no qualms with murdering someone to get what he wants.

After meeting Freya, Kai fell in love with her, which is the first time he has ever fallen in love with anyone.
After becoming a non-Original witch-vampire hybrid, Kai's emotions were heightened. He doesn't have much regard for human life, in fact he regularly disregards the lives of those not included in his family. However, his positive traits are also heightened, including his love for Freya and their daughter.

## Physical Appearance

Kai is a very handsome and charming man, standing 6'0" in height with a slim build. His physical appearance is that of a 20-25 year old despite him being over 50 years old. He has dark brown hair that is usually gelled at the front and on top and blue-grey eyes. In regards to clothing, when he was in the Prison World, Kai dressed like a typical teenager or young adult, preferring to wear simple t-shirts with boots underneath dark blue or black jeans. He prefers to wear darker and neutral colors. He also enjoys wearing a variety of rings on his fingers, one of them containing the power he had stripped from the Gemini Coven.

Later in the series, Kai's fashion sense becomes more sophisticated and more mature and he begins wearing designer clothes. At special events, such as balls and dances, he wears smart attire such as tuxedos and suits. After transitioning into a vampire-witch hybrid, Kai wears a lapis lazuli ring, enchanted by Freya Mikaelson, as a means to walk around in the sunlight.

## Powers and Abilities

* Siphoner
* Witch
* Witch-Vampire Hybrid

As a siphoner, Kai possesses the ability to absorb a witch's power and use it as his own. This can kill said witch if Kai were to drain all of the witch's power for his needs. Aside from this ability, Kai has no other magical powers of his own and can only practice magic by stealing his magical power of others. After escaping the Prison World with Bonnie and Damon, Kai absorbed the power of the Traveler's anti-magic spell on Mystic Falls, showing that he can absorb power from active spells as well.

In addition to having the ability to siphon magic, Kai can sense magic in others, but this power was limited to being close enough to touch the person he intends on sensing the power on. After siphoning magic, Kai has the ability of a typical witch. However, the little time he had spent practicing magic has caused him to be quite amateur at focusing and casting spells correctly.

After Kai merged with Jo his powers grew stronger, which gave him permanent access to magic. Kai became the leader of the Gemini Coven and was now the most powerful member of his coven. He was so powerful that he was able to strip his entire coven of their power while he also transferred his sister's fetuses into Caroline's womb. Kai was also able to place his siblings, Liv and Luke, into a magical slumber and tied the spell to his life, ensuring that that they would remain in the slumber as long as he was alive. It is later revealed that Kai was linked to the members of the Gemini Coven and to all of the Prison Worlds.

Later in the series, Kai's power is demonstrated when he was able to channel power from Adrianna Gilbert and Hope Mikaelson while they were in Mystic Falls and he was in New Orleans. While doing this, he was also able to siphon and weaken an active spell in order to completely stop the spell.
Kai possesses all the standard powers and abilities of a siphoner-witch non-Original vampire hybrid.

## Weaknesses

Malachai had the typical weaknesses of a siphoner-witch. After dying and completing his transition, he has the typical weaknesses of a siphoner-witch non-Original vampire hybrid.

## Relationships

### Jo Parker

"*It wasn't his fault that he ended up turning to darkness.*"
—Jo about Kai

*Main Article: Jo and Kai*

Jo and Kai are twins and grew up together as witches a part of the Gemini Coven. After it was revealed that Kai was a siphoner instead of a regular witch, their father deemed him an outsider and strongly encouraged his isolation from the rest of the coven. Kai also mentioned that he was not even allowed to touch anyone. Despite this, Jo and Kai maintained a close relationship, due to Jo breaking the rules and helping him understand his powers. Jo always treated him with love and kindness and always attempted to teach him all the magical lessons that she learned. Whenever their father would catch Jo interacting with Kai, he would often punish her by locking her in her room for days. This caused Kai to resent their father quite a bit and caused him to become very protective of his sister. Though Kai wanted to win the merge and become the leader of the Gemini Coven, he did not want his sister to die and so he tried to find spells that would prevent this from happening. He eventually found this and when he showed them to his father, he was insulted and dismissed, causing Kai's inner darkness to take over and leading to him murdering 4 of his siblings. Jo was able to talk him down and agreed to do the merge. As they were preparing to complete the ritual, the Gemini Coven harness the power of the solar eclipse to banish Kai to a Prison World. This made Jo very angry with her family because she believed that their emotional abuse led to him being the way that he was. She blamed them for his descent into darkness and as a result she transferred her magic into a knife and turned her back on the family.

### Freya Mikaelson

"*I've never felt this way about anyone before. I love you, Freya Mikaelson.*"
—Kai to Freya

*Main Article: Kai and Freya*

Freya is Kai's best friend, wife, and mother of his child. Kai first met Freya in Book 3 of Part 2 while in New Orleans on a favor for Adrianna. He helped stop a witch from breaking Klaus' sireline and helped to fight against the other witches in the town. While in New Orleans, Kai grew infatuated with Freya and the two go on to form a friendship. They end up spending a lot of time together and soon began a relationship. Their importance to each other became clear to those around them, evidenced by the fact that Kai was kidnapped by some of the witches of New Orleans in order to be used as leverage against Freya. This resulted in Kai becoming a vampire-witch hybrid. This was also the first time that they told each other that they loved each other and Kai finds out that Freya is pregnant. At the end of Book 3, Kai ingested a poison that was meant for Freya and as a result, Freya bound his life to Klaus and placed his consciousness, along with her siblings', in a Chambre de Chasse for five years. He is eventually revived after a cure for his poison was found and they are reunited. Kai and Freya later get married.

### Thalia Mikaelson-Parker

"*I love you, Dad.*"
—Thalia to Kai

*Main Article: Kai and Thalia*

Thalia is Kai's daughter with Freya. When he found out about the pregnancy, Kai was excited but also conflicted as he had doubts as to whether he would be a good father. He was assured by Klaus and Freya that he would be a good father. Soon after Freya revealed her pregnancy, Kai was placed in a Chambre de Chasse with Freya's siblings, besides Klaus, in order to give the rest of the family time to find a way to save their lives. As a result, Kai was not there for Thalia's birth or the first 3 years of her life. Kai finally met Thalia when he is awaken from his slumber and cured. He immediately fell in love with her and promised to give her the loving childhood that he never received. He spent a lot of time doting after her and he often gives her whatever she asks for, which is his way of making up for the three years he was not able to be in her life. The two are very close and Thalia trusts her father enough to feel comfortable with going to him for advice whenever she needs it. However, she does get angry because he tends to become overprotective when it comes to her potential lovers. Thalia is very similar to her father in terms of her often manipulative and ruthless behavior. Kai is very protective of Thalia and is willing to do whatever he can to make sure that she is safe.

## Trivia

* There are similarities between Kai and Klaus:
	+ They are both different from the rest of their siblings: Klaus was born werewolf then turned hybrid, Kai was born as a warlock without magic but has the ability to absorb magic, and later turned into a vampire/witch hybrid who can siphon their own vampirism to maintain constant magical powers.
	+ Both have hurt most of their siblings. Although in Kai's case, he killed Mose of them while Klaus prefers to neutralize his.
	+ Both are called with abridged versions of their full names (Malachai and Niklaus) by most people.
	+ Both needed blood from girls with supernatural heritage to free themselves from magical restrictions placed on them by their family
		- Klaus - Elena's doppelgänger blood to break the hybrid curse cast on him by his mother.
		- Kai - Bonnie's Bennett blood to free himself from his Prison World that his family sent him into.
	+ Their fathers feel ashamed of them and abused and rejected them as a result. This caused them to be the way they are.
