Hectate

**Hectate** (**Elder Furthark:***ᚺᛖᚲᛏᚨᛏᛖ)*  was one of the most powerful werewolves in history. He was a major recurring character and a primary antagonist in the second season of *The Werewolf Diaries*.

He was the father of Jacob and Christopher Chamberlain, as well as the paternal grandfather of Cole, Adam, Elizabeth Chamberlain, as well as the great-grandfather of Jessica Chamberlain and Jupiter Chamberlain.

Hectate was later seen in the first season of *The Werewolf Diaries* during *Take Me With You*, when he first appeared as a ghost to attack Charlotte Marshall on The Other Side, and again in order to speak with Graysin Blackwell. He eventually convinced him to resurrect him by offering to help him kill Jake. In *Evil In My Blood*, Hectate was successfully resurrected by Graysin, but not without consequences; Graysin ultimately used the Bracelet of Obedience to ensure that he would always be under his control. In the second season, Hectate arrived in Los Angeles, to kill Elizabeth Chamberlain, and he will not hesitate to achieve this goal, even if it means destroying anyone who stands in his way.

Hectate was revived by his long lost son Christopher, reuniting a delighted Hectate with the child he thought he had lost. They formed an alliance to kill Inadu, who poses a threat to Christopher and Elizabeth. Hectate, after a failed team up with his children against Inadu, was executed by Jake for a second time, in order to procure the Viking ash Hectate's corpse would leave behind, to make another weapon against Inadu, all in front of Christopher, which devastated him.

**Hectate**  was a member to the **Chamberlain Family**via his wife, and was a member of the **Norwegian Wolf Pack** and an unnamed **Norwegian family of werewolves.**

**Hectate's** counterpart is **Mikael** from *The Originals*.

* Season One
* Season Two

### Season One

In *Eat, Sleep, Repeat*, Christopher showed his memories of his human life to a werewolf girl named Charlotte Marshall. While she was seeing his flashbacks in her mind, Christopher began to tell her of how their family lived a thousand years prior, before they had turned into vampires. Henrik, a villager, was killed by werewolves one night on a full moon, and the grief from this loss led Hectate to force their mother to cast a spell that would make them stronger, faster, and immortal, ensuring that their family would not lose any more children. Once the spell was cast on Jake, the vampire species was officially created. But he soon learned with all this power came a terrible hunger. once Jake had killed a human, Hectate and the rest of the family found out what he truly was, and Hectate says when he sees Jake turning into a Hybrid, *"He's a beast. An abomination"*. He convinced her to cast a spell to keep Jake's werewolf side dormant. When she did the spell Hectate was tying Jake up in chains and asked for Christopher's help and then screamed at him to help, Christopher then helped his father in tying Jake up.

Once Charlotte learned of Hectate she called him a **"Bastard"**. Christopher told Charlotte that for a 1000 years Hectate had hunted Jake, even away from Los Angeles, where they were happiest of all. Christopher also says he should have killed his father the moment he laid a hand on Jake.
In *Take Me With You*, Hectate begins to torment Jake through his dreams where there is a funeral of Father Kieran and in the coffin was Jake's baby girl and he smiles. He is then staked by Hectate with the White Oak Stake, he tells him, "Greetings, boy." Jake speaks Charlotte and Christopher about dreaming of Hectate. Christopher is worried because like Jake, he too has had dreams about their father, it is later revealed that The Other Side is falling apart.

When Charlotte is temporarily killed by Julia's hex, Hectate introduces himself to Charlotte on The Other Side and tells her that they are technically family. He knows his reputation precedes him and he assures her she is not dreaming and that what she is experiencing is all real. He then uses his vampire speed to quickly go over to Charlotte and instantly puts her in a headlock, Hectate welcomes her to his "hell", as he is stuck in an eternity of watching over Jake. Charlotte quickly becomes afraid because she thinks she is dead and starts worrying about the baby, Hectate tells her that the child never had a chance, and tells her of how her bloodline is filth enough and she made it worse by merging it with Jake'. Hectate then starts to mock Jake. Charlotte then becomes angry and releases herself from Hectate's grip and tells him that neither her or her baby's dead or he wouldn't have tried to kill them. When Charlotte mentions his son has already beat him, he gets angry and says he's not his son. He calls Jake a scourge, a walking symbol of weakness. He tells her that there is no saving that "atrocity" in her womb, and he says Jake will destroy it, one way or another. He says it is better it dies now, and her along with it. Charlotte jumps down onto the first floor, Hectate jumps down to follow her but she spins around rapidly and rushes behind him, stabbing him in the heart with a stake from behind while he was caught off-guard by the jump. Charlotte tells him her daughter has an advantage Jake never had, that she will never know Hectate.
In *It's Going Down*, Hectate's ghost appears in the streets of the French Quarter and looks at Graysin, who's with Hope. He then vanished. Hectate then appeared behind Graysin, calling his name and when he turned around, he was gone. He reappears to Graysin, telling him it is no surprise Jake left Josh to die. He says he is the only man in history that has been capable of driving off Jake and bring him pain and fear. He says he will help save Josh aside from just wanting to kill Jake for his personal reasons, and Graysin seemingly agrees to resurrect Hectate.
In *Evil In My Blood*, Hectate's ghost appears in The Abattoir and is seen talking to Graysin and says, "One point for you, and one point for Jacob". Hectate's ghost then appear in a room with Graysin and explaining the spell in Christopher's grimoire that can resurrect him. Graysin resurrects Hectate using powerful cursed objects Father Kieran had stored away. Graysin passes out from exhaustion and Hectate successfully returns. He first heads to Jeffery's wounded army downstairs, viciously starts feeding on the rest of the wounded vampires, which allows the werewolf venom in their bodies to kill them faster.
Hectate retrieves the White Oak Stake, and is looking right at Jake holding his child from a hidden corner. Hectate makes his way to the nursery room holding the stake in his hand, and as he is about to ambush Jake, he finds he cannot move. Graysin forces his body to follow him to the attic where Hope stayed for months as a personal weapon, telling Hectate he will know how it feels to be his, allowing him to kill Jake when she sees fit and not before. He shows him an object she used for power to resurrect him, a cursed bracelet, which allows him to control his body, much to his annoyance.

### Season Two

In *The Werewolf Diaries*, Hectate is still under Graysin's influence, trapped in the attic. Jeffery has been going to a vinyl store to buy music for Hectate, his preference being ancient Icelandic Folk music. Hectate throws the White Oak Stake at Jeffry, who tells him he can't harm him. Hectate states his desire to want to hurt him is strong. He forces him to feed from him when he refuses. He wants to take the bracelet binding him to him so he can kill Jake.

In *The Bond*, Hectate returned to Los Angeles with the items to make a weapon against Inadu; ash of the vikings who oppressed her, soil from her homeland, and the blood of who she loved the most. Jake confronted Hectate and proposed the two fight Inadu together. Both traded insults but decided to align together. With Christopher's help, they bond the ingredients to a knife, creating a weapon that can kill her. They choose to attack Inadu head on with the weapon, being lead to the church knowing full well that it was a trap. When they confronted her, she unleashed mind-controlled acolytes of hers on them. Though they were a challenge, Hectate and Jake slaughtered all of them. Inadu stepped in herself, and used her magic to almost instantly desicate the two Originals. Inadu tortured them both for specific acts, especially Hectate. Christopher arrived and when Inadu started to hurt Christopher, Hectate violently fought off his desiccation and stabbed Inadu with a large piece of a wooden church pew. However, it didn't kill her and Inadu destroyed the weapon they had created and escaped.

Inadu has a reunion with his children at Jake's home. Wanting more Viking ash to make another weapon, Jake threatens Hectate with the White Oak Stake. Hectate was not surprised by the betrayal. Jake questions why Hectate fought for Christopher who he barely knows anymore, and why he hated him even before he became a disappointment for Hectate. Hectate says that he did not know, and just did. Jake offers him final words. Hectate apologizes to Christopher and said he loves him. Jake then staked Hectate for a second time, executing his father without a fight. Hectate tried to reach for his son in his final moments, a small gesture of his one time affection. Hectate's corpse burns to ash, providing the Chamberlains with more Viking ash for a weapon against Inadu.

## Personality

* Human
* Werewolf-Vampire Hybrid
* Spirit

"*Mothers love their children,fathers make them strong*"
—Hectate

Prior to Christopher's death, Hectate was described as a kind and loving husband as well as a good father, this is in spite of how his own father treated him, however, once Christopher died Hectate became hostile, distant and cold due to the immense grief he felt due to the loss of his favorite child. Jake renewed Hectate's hope in his family but he was never the same man as he once was as his later personality can be described calculating, meticulous, aggressive, bad tempered and prideful - which Charlotte described as "being a bastard". As a human, Hectate is characterized by his pride, valor, and devotion to the family. However, he also used fear to control people, particularly his children as he wanted to make them stronger, possibly to prevent any more deaths of his children, his actions however, led to them being alienated from him.
Hectate has a deep hatred of Jake, caused by the latter killing Henrik, then later murdering Hectate's wife and turning his family against him, however, Hectate didn't always hate Jake, as when he was born he was overjoyed and loved him, he even named him, however, as Jake grew up, he acted differently to his siblings and Hectate began to see him as weak and thus he acted negative towards him, Hectate tends to degrade his worth and often referred to Jake as "boy" rather than his given name.
Hectate physically assaulted Jake even as a child for no apparent reason, and try to justified it by saying that he was trying to make him stronger, though going by what era they lived in and Hectate's viewpoint, it is entirely possibly that Hectate was genuinely trying to make Jake stronger as Hectate explained about fathers having to make their children stronger, Hectate was forced to learn how to use a staff despite being only eight years old and if he showed any strain, his father would have beaten him. Jake was not like Christopher, he was more focused on art and making sculptures than learning to fight and survive in their deadly environment, something Hectate saw as a weakness, however, Jake was anything but weak.
Despite his anger and attitude towards Jake, he still cared about him enough to save his life by turning him into a vampire.
His mistreatment of Jake, is what ultimately turned his son against him, as well as the fact that it caused Jake to despise Hectate, especially when the two would discover they are not father and son.

After being turned into a vampire, the valor becomes anger, and pride in obsession. Hectate didn't initially want to kill Jake, as even after discovering him to be an "abomination", he did not kill him, but had his wife curse Jake to make his werewolf side dormant, However, once Jake murdered his wife and blamed Hectate for it, only then did he pursue his son with the intent to kill him. For a thousand years, Hectate tried to destroy Jake, but during this time, still loved his family. Hectate is willing to kill and harm others.
Like Jake, Hectate seems to be in a grey area morally, as in his pursuit of Jake, he has killed numerous vampires and humans alike, especially if they get in his way, however, Hectate does have some morals, being regretful for his part in creating vampires and the bloodlust and so feeds only on vampires to avoid killing innocents needlessly. He also respects those who can stand up to him, acknowledging people such as Graysin and Jeffery when they show feats of strength or courage. Hectate while cold and aggressive is not devoid of emotions or positive traits but tends to conceal them or hides behind anger, once he is reunited with Christopher, his favorite sin whom he thought was dead, he was reduced to tears and embraces him.
Prior to his death, Hectate still held affection for his family despite that most of them were against him for years. He fought furiously for Christopher, something that made Jake jealous, as he had always wanted his father's love and approval. Hectate's protectiveness over Christopher granted him the strength and determination to fight through his desiccation and be the only one to manage to land a hit on Inadu. When questioned by Jake on why he despised him as he was growing up, Hectate claimed not to know. Hectate in his dying moments, reached out for Jake before burning.

Even as a ghost, Hectate was set on eradicating the world of his granddaughter. Hectate ordered the witches of Los Angeles to kill Rose at all costs. Although this made his children hate him more, he was doing so to save his children from Inadu, who would kill his children to get the power of the tribrid Elizabeth.

## Relationships

### Christopher Chamberlain

"*He is still my father.*"
—Christopher to Jake on Hectate

*Main Article: Hectate and Christopher*

Unlike the relationships Hectate had with Jake, this one was the most profound as was the apparent loss of Christopher that shaped Hectate into a cold and vicious man. The loss of his child negatively impacted the relationship with each Jake and shaped him up to become "the Destroyer". After the loss of Christopher - according to Jake - Hectate distance himself from his wife. After reuniting, Hectate was made aware of Inadu's return, and was helping his son with her plan to kill Inadu in a combined effort.

### Jacob Chamberlain

"*No, I wasn't born like this. He you fight for; bloody Christopher, the son you barely know. But there was a time when you knew me as your son! A time before all the disappointments, the revelations of betrayal, there were moments where all you had to do was be my father! And even then you despised me didn't you? I want to know why.*"
—Jake to Hectate[src]

*Main Article: Hectate and Jake*

Hectate was the father of Jake. Hectate and Jake have a complicated and antagonistic relationship. However, it was Hectate who chose a name for him. Hectate did not always hate Jake as he confessed when Jake was born he was very happy, but when he proved to be different than Christopher, he changed his attitude toward his son. Hectate physically assaulted Jake in his childhood, for which Jake despises him. When Jake killed his mother, Jake turned his family against their father by framing Hectate for the murder of their mother, and he ran away from Hectate. Hectate hunted down Jake for centuries, trying to destroy him until finally he was killed. The alliance between Jake and Hectate did not last partly because of Jake's jealousy of Hectate's relationship with Christopher, and mainly because Jake could not forgive Hectate for what he did to him as a child. Before killing him, Jake asked why Hectate was so cruel to him, and Hectate said that he did not know, that he just did, and this seemed to have saddened Jake. Once Jake staked Hectate, Hectate appeared to extend his hand toward Jake's face as a sign of affection before his corpse burned to ash, giving Jake a shocked expression as his father did not always hate him completely. Jake also killed Hectate as a way to acquire more Viking ash to make more weapons against Inadu.
