## Powers and Abilities

* Witch
* Werewolf

"*You think I'm stupid? Well I'm not. I've been feeling a little Psychic lately.*"
—Brandon to Kai

Brandon is regarded to be the most powerful witch of all time. His brothers noted that he possessed knowledge of magic that nobody could possibly imagine. However, while the full extent of Brandon's power remains unknown, Kai explained to John that he (who is an extremely powerful witch) was still fearful of Brandon. This confirms that Brandon is much more powerful than Kai and that he is truly to be feared by his brother.

Brandon's mental abilities far surpass any Vampire. He can make illusions that are so real that he convinced Kai that he was dying. He also can inflict pain upon others as when he made John think he was suffocating.

Brandon is described as a cypher who is able to foresee the future. Kai states that Brandon is an expert in patterns, trends and cycles. However, his abilities are not absolute. Over time, the visions become more clear, and are vague in the beginning. His abilities as a clairvoyant are however, still very powerful.

His control over telekinesis was highly advanced. He proved powerful enough to be able to cast a privacy spell without any incantations, something John had a hard time learning and figuring out.

Brandon's physical strength is seemingly unusually strong. He is stronger than some non-original vampires and has shown to be able to fight vampires of greater age as well, consistently defying normal expectation of such outcomes. Brandon is currently the strongest Witch-Werewolf hybrid in the world.

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.

* Enhanced Strength: Brandon possess supernatural strength that makes him far stronger than Humans and Vampires.

* Enhanced Speed: Brandon is much faster than Humans and Vampires. He possess this ability both in and out of transformation with an animalistic quickness.

* Enhanced Agility: Brandon possess superhuman agility. Either in wolf or even in human form, he has demonstrated that he can move, jump very high, climb, flip, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion. He can also jump down from incredible heights with almost gravity-defying grace.

* Enhanced Durability: Brandon can take far more trauma than humans without nearly as much discomfort or injury, however, not as much as vampires. He can also exert himself for longer periods without tiring.

* Enhanced Healing Factor: Brandon possess superhuman regenerative abilities, meaning that if he is physically injured, his body will heal rapidly. Like vampires, he can heal from the most grievous of injuries, even in human form, albeit more slowly in comparison to vampires. However, unlike vampires, when a his neck is broken, he stays dead.

* Super Senses: Brandon has the extremely keen and heightened senses of smell, sight, taste, hearing and touch inherent in all canines. Because he is supernatural and has powers that exceeds his wolf counterparts, he can hear, see, and smell better than that of regular canines.

* Lycanthrope Enhancement: Brandon is able to make his eyes glow when angry or threatened, but only for a short amount of time. When he is furious or forced to defend himself, his anger increases all his power and abilities for a short period of time, which allows him to access some of the power of his wolf form to give him an edge.

* Shapeshifting/Transformation Control: During a full moon, Brandon will unwillingly transform from his human form and into his wolf form. However, if a female werewolf is pregnant, they will not turn for nine months as the transformation would kill the baby.

* Full Moon: Brandon's strength, speed, agility, and all his powers are enhanced to his peak during a full moon.

* Immunity to Silver: Brandon is immune to magic bonded to silver. Weapons made of silver might wound him, but the wound still heals at supernatural rates and will not be fatal to him.

* Advanced Werewolf Bite: Brandon possess a bite that is deadly enough to even kill a Vampire. Though it could alleviate some of the effects of the venom such as hallucinations, the his daughter's blood has been shown to be unable to cure it.
