Derek Hale (デレク・ヘイル *Dereku Heiru*) is a Mobian Evolved Werewolf and the second protagonist in ***"Fangs And Speed: A New Adventure"***. He's the middle son of the legendary Alpha Werewolf **Talia Hale**, the younger brother of **Laura Hale**, the older brother of **Cora Hale**, the nephew of **Peter Hale** and the father of **Eli Hale**.

## Early Life

Derek was born in 3250 as a middle child of renowned Alpha Werewolf Talia Hale on the outskirts of South Island, Mobius. As a member of a centuries-old and highly esteemed Werewolf bloodline, Derek was raised along with his sisters Laura and Cora and his uncle Peter to see lycanthropy as a gift.

In 3262, during a full moon, due to his lack of control, he accidentlly killed an unknown Mobian. Because he took an innocent life, Derek's glowing eyes color changed from bright Gold, to a cold steel Blue.

At one point, Derek's mother, Talia, met an evil doctor, named Doctor Robotnik. The two immediately became enemies and from that meeting a great conflict began between him and the Hale family. As part of the conflict, Derek and his family had to deal with robots trying to hunt them down.

In 3269, while Derek and Laura were on their way from school, Doctor Robotnik decided to kill the Hale Family for good. He snuck up to the back side of the house with two of his accomplices with a barrel full of gasoline, they poured the gasoline around the house. Then they took a lighter and lit the gasoline, and the whole house started to catch fire, and everyone inside was burned to death. Derek and Laura arrived too late and got to watch their house burning. After the fire was gone, Derek and Laura's glowing eyes changed from Beta Blue & Gold, to Alpha Red. Which means that Talia's alpha spark passed to them.

After the fire, Derek and Laura found an abandoned village, and stayed there for the next 2 years, knowing that someday, they will kill Doctor Robotnik and get revenge. But a few months later, Laura dissapeared. Derek searched for her for days, until he finally found her fatally mauled - Dead.

Laura's death was a crisis point for Derek. For the next 4 years he trained non-stop, using fear and anger as his anchor. Desperate to get ready for the day that he will face Doctor Robotnik, kill him, and avenge his family.

## Personality

Derek is a kind, caring, serious, compassionate, selfless, and very intelligent man. But it didn't happen overnight. At the begining, Derek was portrayed as a brooding and aggressive werewolf, filled of grief and anger following the Hale House Fire and the murder of his sister, Laura. For the next four years, he used violence and fear to train himself in preparation for facing his sworn enemy, Doctor Robotnik, and seeking revenge.

However, his encounter with Sonic and his friends eventually caused a shift in Derek's personality, this event got Derek to admit that the encounter changed his perspective and caused him to see life in a new way. Despite Derek's outward personality in the since the fire to the first couple of episodes, the one trait that has remained constant through the series is his selfless nature and his desire to protect the innocent people around him.

When he died, he finally fully realized that he now has a new family that cares about him. That allowed him to come back to life as an Evloved True Alpha Werewolf, two abilities that are incedibly rare.
