### Distinction

A Werewolf (s) who gain immortality from the bite of a Werewolf-Witch Hybrid, being freed from the pain of having to turn into a wolf on the full moon.

**Immortal Werewolves**, (also called; Wolves, and Creations) are supernatural shapeshifters, who unwillingly transformed into large, extremely hostile wolves on the night of the full moon before either one of the Werewolf-Witch Hybrids turned them immortal, freeing them from the pain of having to turn on every full moon.

## History

### Werewolf Genocide: 1200 A.D.

After the decimation of the Northeast Atlantic Pack, save for the survival of some members, and Danae Tlanta, along with her unborn child, the war between vampires and werewolves came to a head at some point in the centuries afterward, when the vampires discovered that the bite of a werewolf was lethal to their kind. This spurred the vampires to preemptively commit mass murders of werewolves to protect themselves from death at their hands. As a result, the werewolves were driven to near-extinction by these massacres, and vampires who were turned in the period of time following this Werewolf Genocide began to believe that werewolves were nothing more than a myth or legend.

In reality, many werewolves had survived the genocide, keeping their supernatural identities a secret as they began to reorganize themselves into packs in order to help them evade the vampires. These packs, which varied in size from one dozen members to upwards of a hundred, also helped give the werewolves a support system to assist them through their very painful transformations each month during the full moon. Many werewolves who were injured in the genocide were turned into **immortal werewolves** by either Danae Tlanta, or Conri Tlanta, due to their status as Werewolf-Witch Hybrids, able to grant immortality to werewolves and witches.

While the werewolf genocide wiped out a majority of the supernatural species, the hybrids were quietly building their species of **immortal werewolf** and witch hybrids, the numbers growing and growing, until the number of new hybrids passed the number of werewolves in Europe. The witches turned in the earlier century began building covens of their own, and teaching younger witches magic, pulling away from the hybrids, but never becoming disloyal or aggressive toward them as they continued to save werewolves from genocide, while killing the hoards of vampires that were attacking the werewolves, before turning the most injured ones immortal.

## Physiology

### Food

Like normal humans, immortal werewolves can eat human food if they wish. However, when they turn into wolves during the full moon, they are carnivores, even when they remain in their normal headspace. They have not attacked each other in human or lupine form, for a long time, but have been known to hunt both human and vampire prey while transformed under the full moon. This has been shown the most when Danae Tlanta attacked and killed Henrik when in wolf form on the full moon, and then couldn't remember doing it when she woke up as a human.

### Appearance

In their wolf form, they are quite similar to natural wolves, although unlike natural wolves, immortal werewolves are completely different with their glowing eyes, which glow bright blue after they're turned immortal. They can also control the transformation at will. Werewolves appear the same as any other human the rest of the month, aside from their enhanced abilities of speed, strength, and healing. sharp fangs, a larger size, and a much more feral and predatory appearance. They can also be distinguished from regular wolves by their displays of supernatural strength, blurred speed, and size which is comparable to fully grown humans. The fur color of wolf forms differs from one to the other (e.g., Danae Tlanta's white wolf form, Conri Tlanta's brown and gray wolf form, Jenefer Monique's white wolf dusted with gray and brown.)

### Transformation

During the transformation, into an immortal werewolf, the person is fed the blood of the Werewolf-Witch Hybrid, and then killed with various methods, including; broken neck, asphyxiation, nerve damage at the neck, and more. Then, the person wakes up immortal, and it takes a little while for them to get acclimated to their new powers. They gain glowing blue eyes, fangs, and claws, and are able to howl to alert other werewolves of danger, and are able to shift into their wolf forms fluidly once they gain control of it.

Older werewolves can control themselves to some extent on the night of the full moon, but many find it necessary to dose themselves with wolfsbane to weaken them before they lock themselves up in chains to prevent hurting anyone while they're transformed. Immortal Werewolves have complete control over their shifts, and are able to shift at will, and due to their immortality being their supernatural healing agent, the transformation is quicker and less painful as they are being healed the entire time they turn.

## Culture

### Loyalty

Werewolves are very similar to witches when it comes to their own kind. Werewolves have an unwavering sense of loyalty, and will often bond with other werewolves they meet. They form packs and work with each other, whether they are family or not, at least in modern times, while in the ancient times of werewolves, when each pack was built on blood, they would grow up together as family. The bond of loyalty between werewolves is so strong that while changed under full moons, the only beings they do not attack are other werewolves (regardless of whether or not they have activated their werewolf gene).

In ancient times, before the Werewolf Genocide, werewolves had a ritual a thousand years ago by which, on a blood moon, they would hunt and purposefully trigger their curse by killing a human, willingly enduring the pain of their transformations in exchange for the strength they gained as warriors. This ritual was meant to be a rite of passage, where young werewolves embraced their nature rather than shying away from it; this is in stark contrast to many modern-day werewolves, who do whatever they can to avoid triggering their curses and having to deal with the pain of their monthly transformations.

Immortal Werewolves are generally the most loyal to their sires, the Werewolf-Witch Hybrids, and their cousin species, the Immortal Witches, and will be loyal to the allies of their cousin species and sires. Shown the most by the members of the Hale Pack that are immortal werewolves, who fight to the death with their alpha.

### Pack

Immortal Werewolves are social and pack creatures, thus they live in packs, where there are three distinct ranks, and two fundamental requirements for the continuation of the werewolf species, including the alphas, betas, and omegas. Most of the immortal werewolves of Conri Tlanta's bloodline live in a pack with him and his partner, who was a shifter alpha. They are loyal and serious to their pack and their allies and will fight for their pack and what they believe in, able to use more and more power than before they became immortal.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Werewolf Nature:** Being part werewolf, their bodies contains the werewolf gene that provides them with standard werewolf attributes and provides them with enhanced senses, such as hearing, sight, and smell, as well as heightened aggression. They can tell when someone is lying to them by listening to their heartbeat, a trait that they share with Shifter Werewolves.
	+ **Full Werewolf Shift:** They have the ability to shift into a full wolf, and controls the transformation, due to being immortal, able to shift at will, and with the immortality thrumming through him, healing their bodies as they shift, it isn't painful to become a wolf.
	+ **Carrying Young:** A trait largely bred out of the modern werewolf bloodlines, is the ability for male werewolves to carry young. These wolves are called omegas, and have a feminine wolf mind, which is what sets off the mechanism in the omega's head a month before birth, to shift into their wolf form, which has the mechanisms to give birth to a baby.
	+ **Werewolf Bite:** As a werewolf, their bite is lethal to vampires, monsters, and some other supernatural creatures. It can only be cured with Conri's blood, as well as Danae's and other hybrids in their family tree.
	+ **Super Strength:** Werewolves possess supernatural strength that makes them far stronger than immortals, hunters, and humans, There have been several occasions to suggest that untriggered werewolves possess more strength than any average humans, which would indicate some form of enhanced strength even before the activation of their curse. However, werewolves in their human form are not as strong as a vampire and have even been shown to be far weaker on several occasions. When they are in their wolf form, their powers amplify to a degree that excels of the non-Original vampires, making them more powerful than non-Original vampires. In wolf form, a werewolf can overpower and kill any non-original vampire with ease, and are strong enough to overpower an Original vampire in small groups.
	+ **Super Speed:** Werewolves are much faster than humans and some other supernatural beings. They possess this ability both in and out of transformation, with an animalistic quickness.
	+ **Super Agility:** Werewolves possess superhuman agility. In both human and wolf form, they have demonstrated that they can move, jump very high, climb, flip, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion. They can also jump down from incredible heights with almost gravity-defying grace.
	+ **Super Durability:** Werewolves can take far more trauma than humans without nearly as much discomfort or injury, however, not as much as vampires. They can also exert themselves for longer periods without tiring.
	+ **Healing Factor:** Werewolves possess superhuman regenerative abilities, meaning that if they are physically injured, their bodies will heal rapidly. Like vampires, werewolves can heal from the most grievous of injuries, even in human form, albeit more slowly in comparison to vampires. However, unlike vampires, when a werewolf's neck is broken, they stay dead.
	+ **Super Senses:** Werewolves have extremely keen and heightened senses of smell, sight, taste, hearing, and touch that exceed their wolf counterparts and that of regular canines.
	+ **Lycanthrope Enhancement:** Werewolves are able to make their eyes glow when angry or threatened, but only for a short amount of time. When a werewolf is furious or forced to defend themselves, their anger increases all their power and abilities for a short period of time, which allows them to access some of the power of their wolf form to give them an edge.
	+ **Full Moon:** A werewolf's strength, speed, agility, and all their powers are enhanced to their peak during a full moon.
	+ Immunity to Silver: Werewolves are immune to magic bonded to silver. Weapons made of silver might wound them, but the wound still heals at supernatural rates and will not be fatal to them.

* **Immortal Nature:** Due to immortality, both hybrids possess supernatural physical and psychic abilities. Although they are immortal, they are not full Immortals, more like a half Immortal due to their Werewolf sides and Witch sides tainting the full potential of immortality.
	+ **Mental Compulsion:** They are able to look into someone's eyes and manipulate their minds. This can be blocked by certain herbs, for humans, and supernatural abilities by witches and werewolves.
	+ **Advanced Healing Factor:** They are able to regenerate from any damage sustained on their bodies as a result of their unconditional immortality. Their bones snap back into place after being broken, and they have been seen to fully recover from gunshots, stab wounds, snapped necks, and torso impalement.
	+ **Advanced Immunity:** They possess a caliber of immortality that grants them immunity to all weaknesses. They're immune to wooden weapons, sunlight, vervain, werewolf bites, decapitation, heart extraction or fire and are able to walk freely into a home without being invited by the owner first. Their bodies are completely indestructible.

## Weaknesses

* **Wolfsbane:** When ingested, wolfsbane causes a werewolf to become severely weak and feverish. Also, If a werewolf's skin is exposed to wolfsbane, it will burn them.
* **Magic:** Werewolves are susceptible to the powers of witchcraft. This is inclusive of mystical objects and dark objects. Multiple spells have been performed by witches against werewolves to cause several effects against them, such as slowing down or speeding up a werewolf's transformation during a full moon, telekinetically ripping a heart from a werewolf's chest, or cursing a pack of werewolves to be trapped in their wolf form at all times except for a few short hours during the full moon when they return to their human forms.

## Myths

* **Silver:** Contrary to popular belief, werewolves are not weakened by or allergic to silver, as the myth was probably started by werewolves. Silver actually has the opposite effect – when a werewolf is wounded by silver, it heals.
* **Wolfsbane:** Several myths have surrounded the use of this herb and its relation to and effects upon werewolves, including the myth that wolfsbane supposedly either causes or cures lycanthropy. These myths are false.

## Notable Immortal Werewolves

 Jenefer, or Jen; as she likes to be called, is a member of Danae Tlanta's **Immortal Werewolf** bloodline, and an avid auto mechanic, and former steam locomotive engineer. She was born in England and moved to Russia, where she was transformed by Danae in the winter of 1747, when she was caught in a blizzard that even her werewolf senses couldn't see past. She learned how to control herself with her newfound immortality, before she waited for her parents to die, so she could bury her mother, and get all of her father's inheritance.

 Ash was turned in 1835, and was one of the only werewolves that Conri turned that didn't travel with his sire for a few years to control his newfound immortality. Instead, he went off on his own until he fought in the American Civil War, before leaving the country, and settling down in Europe, living in Germany. He fled during the war, and lived with Conri and the rest of the **wolves** and witches until the war ended. After the first World War, Ash returned to Europe, not moving back to Germany, instead settling in Poland, where he lived until 1935, when he was taken to a concentration camp, by the Nazis, and was taken in as a test subject for the doctors until he was liberated in 1942. He now lives with the pack, and has a hard exterior due to the abuse in the camps.

 Gianna was turned in 1881, after she was freed from her slave owner father, and took revenge on members of his family who carried the werewolf gene as payback for saddling her with a disease that she despised. After becoming immortal in 1881, Gianna killed her biological father in her final act of revenge, before swearing off killing until she encountered the demon who had killed her in order to transform her, and used her claws, and venom to eat away at the demon, trapped in it's vessel until it fizzled out and died. Gianna became a nurse during both World Wars, and after the wars were over, she went into midwifery, and later on in 2011, helped with the birth and pregnancy of her sire, Conri Tlanta.

 After several battles and injuries, Erica and Boyd decided to leave Derek's pack to find a better one and attempted to flee from town until they had the misfortune of running into the Alpha Pack, who abducted them as well as Derek's younger sister Cora Hale to get Derek to join their pack. After spending nearly four months in the vault of First National Bank, Conri Tlanta, who was one of those keeping an eye on her came in when she had injured herself, and fed her his blood, to heal her, only for Erica not even two minutes before he left, deciding to fight for her freedom and engaged in a fight with Kali but the malicious Alpha came out on top and left Erica to die in front of her friends and fellow hostages. Her body was locked in a supply closet afterward, when Conri disposed of what he thought was her corpse as she was transitioning, and woke up in the dumpster behind the bank months later, after a lengthy transition and healing process. She rejoined the newly formed Hale Pack and lived close to the pack house, working at a tavern and diner, before going to school to become an ophthalmologist, specializing in neurology.

 During the war, Deucalion was called for help again, to teach the McCall Pack alpha, and his betas how to fight without their eyes, as the Anuk-Ite could kill with a look, turning you to stone after it merged, and Deucalion had the best experience in the field. He met with Conri to relay information, and when he was teaching Scott at night, the hunters began the true battle, shooting at them, hitting Deucalion multiple times in the chest, and he started to bleed out and die, since it was yellow wolfsbane in one of the bullets. He was saved by Conri, who fed him his blood, per Deucalion's consent previously, and slashed the nerves in his neck, cutting them off from his brain and killing him to transform him.
Waking up as an **immortal werewolf**, and still an alpha, Deucalion went on to reform himself, moving to Canada, after meeting with the pack to pledge his loyalty, and meet Conri's son, before he moved to Canada and built his own pack, his alpha status still allowing him to turn people into **werewolves**, just not immortal ones, like him.
