Line #17 Characters/Bitten


1	[[foldercontrol]]
2	!! The North American Pack
3	[[folder:In General]]
4	* GoodIsNotNice: They kill humans and wolves alike when their rules are broken, are willing to torture for information, and keep a cage in their basement.
5	* FamilyOfChoice: They function as this to each other, albeit not without some dysfunction. Elena even calls them one outright in her RousingSpeech [[spoiler:when she becomes Alpha]].
6	-->''"[[spoiler:No more Packs.]] We are a found family."''
7	* InvoluntaryShapeshifting: The change is usually [[VoluntaryShapeshifting voluntary]]. However, as Elena demonstrates in the first episode, if you go too long without changing, it will happen whether you want it to or not. Pain can also trigger an involuntary change.
8	* PainfulTransformation: Though the Pack appears to enjoy being wolves, the actual transformation looks uncomfortable at best. The first time can be fatal.
9	* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: And as such, it is chock full of (mostly male) FanService.
10	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: The involuntary part makes the change look kind of like eating or sleeping. You can do it as you want, or you can wait until it happens to you like it or not.

13	[[folder:Elena Michaels]]
14	->'''Played By:''' Creator/LauraVandervoort
15
16	* ActionGirl: She's a werewolf, the best tracker in the pack, and capable of holding her own against other members of the pack.
17	* AdaptationalJobChange: Elena in the books is a journalist. Here, she is a photographer.
18	* ApocalypseMaiden: Savannah has a vision of her standing inside Stonehaven as it burns down, which frightens both her and Elena. In season three, Elena herself begins to have visions of the event. [[spoiler:In "Truth, Changes, Everything," the vision comes true: she is given Jeremy's blessing to burn Stonehaven to the ground in order to destroy all records of werewolf bloodlines, giving Pack and non-Pack werewolves alike the freedom to make their own choices and not be forced into loyalty.]]
19	* IJustWantToBeNormal: Ever since her first kill, she's been unhappy about her werewolf status. She even says this word-for-word in "Summons."
20	* MissingMom: Her foster mother died when she was a child. [[spoiler:Later, it's revealed that this is also the case with her biological mother.]]
21	* MsFanservice: As a healthy, sexually active adult and the only female werewolf, she has a habit of getting naked.
22	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Rachel's girly girl.
23
24	[[/folder]]
25
26	[[folder:Clayton Danvers]]
27	->'''Played By:''' Creator/GreystonHolt
28
29	* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Inverted. In the novels, Clay came from an abusive household, but [[AdaptationalBackstoryChange this is not the case in the series]]. Also played straight: in the series, [[spoiler:Malcolm]] killed his mother after biting him, and his father [[DrivenToSuicide killed himself]] after assuming Clay was also dead. In the novels, nothing is mentioned about his family's fate after he was bitten.
30	* BettyAndVeronica: The dark, broody, violent Veronica to Philip's BoyNextDoor Betty, both to Elena's Archie. On the other hand, Clay is the "safer" romantic choice for Elena as he knows about her past and is also a werewolf, making him the Betty. Philip is a far more dangerous romantic choice as he is human and has no knowledge of her secret, making him the Veronica.
31	* TheBigGuy: He's the best fighter among the pack, and generally wants to get physical against any threat to the pack.
32	* ByronicHero: Clay is broody and tortured by the things Jeremy has made him do in the name of protecting the pack, and constantly struggles to find a balance between his better nature and his total loyalty to Jeremy.
33	* GeniusBruiser: He's big, ridiculously toned, and the acknowledged champion at hand-to-hand combat among the werewolves. He's also Dr. Danvers, professor of anthropology.
34	* TheLancer: To Jeremy.
35	* MilitaryBrat: His biological father served in the military.
36

38
39	[[folder:Jeremy Danvers]]
40	->'''Played By:''' Greg Bryk
41
42	* AdaptationDyeJob: In the novels, Jeremy has black hair and eyes. In the series, he has lighter hair and blue eyes.
43	* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In the novels, Jeremy is a werewolf-[[{{Youkai}} kogitsune]] hybrid. Here, the latter is AdaptedOut.
44	* BigGood: He and Antonio fought their way up the ranks of the Mutts in order to force them to accept Pack rules. They still enforce those rules, to the death.
45	* CulturedBadass: In a backwoods Canadian kind of way. He's an artist by trade, dresses well, lives in a big fancy house, and is very polite when he's not ordering executions. Or even when he is.
46	* AFatherToHisMen: As the alpha of the pack, and even outside of that he generally tries to be reasonable.
47	* LightningBruiser: Where Clay is big, he's quick. He barely had to lay a hand on a Mutt challenging him for the position of Alpha.
48	* RaceLift: Described as having Asian features in the novels, played by Canadian Greg Bryk in the series.
49
50	[[/folder]]
51
52	[[folder:Antonio Sorrentino]]
53	->'''Played By:''' Paulino Nunes
54
55	* TheConsigliere: Jeremy's adviser, going back quite a long while.
56	* DeathByAdaptation: Antonio is still alive in the novels.
57	* NumberTwo: Again, going back a while.
58
59	[[/folder]]
60
61	[[folder:Nick Sorrentino]]
62	->'''Played By:''' Steve Lund
63
64	* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: He has a brief romance with Paige, which never happened in the books. By the end of the show, he also strikes up a reletionship with [[spoiler:Rachel.]]
65	* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Paige in "Scavenger's Daughter."
66	* GreenEyedMonster: {{Downplayed}}. He opens the series quietly (or not so much) jealous of Clay's fighting ability and his relationship with Elena.
67	* ReallyGetsAround: He's had a string of lovers.
68
69	[[/folder]]
70
71	[[folder:Logan Jonsen]]
72	->'''Played By:''' Creator/MichaelXavier
73
74	* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:He dies before he can meet his infant son, Rocco.]]
75	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:How he dies, courtesy of Aleister.]]
76	* ThereAreNoTherapists: Logan is a psychologist and a werewolf, averting both this and AllTherapistsAreMuggles.
77	* TokenMinority: The black member of the Pack.
78
79	[[/folder]]
80
81	!!Mutts
82	[[folder:Karl Marsten]]
83	->'''Played By:''' Creator/PascalLangdale
84
85	* AccentAdaptation: Karl is not described as speaking with an accent in the books, though Hope notes upon meeting him in ''Chaotic'' that he seems like the type of person that would have one. In the series, his actor gives him his natural English accent, further adding to his "upper class" persona. However, considering mimicking accents is among Karl's many talents in the books and he's also established as being well-traveled due to his lifestyle, it's possible that it isn't his ''natural'' accent and that he picked it up during his travels.
86	* AdaptationDyeJob: Black-haired in the novels, brown-haired in the show.
87	* AdaptationalWimp: His fighting skills and ManipulativeBastard tendencies are downplayed compared to the books. Logan is able to catch him by surprise in "Settling", he gets captured and [[CurbStompBattle curb stomped]] by the Albino in the third season, and [[spoiler:is killed after being outnumbered and surrounded by Konstantin's men]]. He's also never seen assuming his wolf form, even in situations where it would be advantageous to do so.
88	* AffablyEvil: He's genuinely charming and affable, which carries over into his HeelFaceTurn.
89	* AntiHero: Becomes one after his HeelFaceTurn.
90	* BadassInANiceSuit: Every scene he's in has him wearing a suit.
91	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: He is loyal to Jeremy because he showed him mercy.
92	* BigDamnHeroes: When [=LeBlanc=] tries to stab Elena, Karl catches his arm and throws him into some glass, allowing Elena to kill him.
93	-->'''Karl''': It's not because she's a prize. It's because she's a lady!
94	* ButtMonkey: In the third season. He gets kidnapped, beaten by the Albino, and [[spoiler:dies in the series finale.]]
95	* TheCharmer: He can be quite charming when he wants to be.
96	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Just like the books, Karl has a reputation for this. Daniel calls him out on his tendency to play the "long con" in an attempt to make him look untrustworthy, and Jeremy asks him if he can be sure that his apparent HeelFaceTurn isn't temporary. It's also the reason Clay suspects him of working with the Spanish alpha in "Bad Dreams".
97	* CigarChomper: He's introduced smoking a hand-rolled Casanegra cigar, and often carries them with him.
98	* DeadpanSnarker [=/=] GentlemanSnarker: In his introduction, he gives this dry remark to Nick about his club:
99	-->"You called? If it were for my design advice, I would suggest starting with a blowtorch."
100	* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Karl survives the entirety of the ''Otherworld'' books, but is killed by Konstantin's men in "Truth, Changes, Everything".]]
101	* DemotedToExtra: He appears in a majority of the first season, but only appears once in the second season due to the plot being more focused on the witches.
102	* EvenEvilHasStandards: For a given value of "evil," given he's not working against the Pack because they did anything ''to'' him, but because they also haven't done anything ''for'' him (i.e. not granting him territory, which forces him to move constantly under Pack law). He's consistently annoyed by [=LeBlanc=]'s violent and misogynistic tendencies and both his and Daniel's obsession with Elena. He's also not pleased when Daniel reveals he's kidnapped Clay. Eventually, this causes him to turn on them.
103	* FaceDeathWithDignity:
104	** When confronted by Jeremy, he stops Elena from defending him and says that all he asks for is a swift death. He's visibly surprised when Jeremy decides to leave him alive.
105	** Again in season three, when he's cornered by Konstantin's men. When they tell him they'll let him live if he pledges loyalty to Konstantin, he refuses.
106	* GentlemanThief: He's AffablyEvil and a thief.
107	* HeelFaceTurn: In "Ready," he helps Elena kill Thomas [=LeBlanc=] and corners Daniel Santos for the Pack to deal with him. Cemented in season 3, when he officially joins the Pack.
108	* LastNameBasis: Most characters call him Marsten. Elena, Nick and Jeremy occasionally use his first name.
109	* NoodleIncident: When explaining the hierarchy of Roman's pack to Nick and Jeremy, he mentions that he met Konstantin two years earlier while trying to steal money from the niece of a Russian oligarch.
110	* OnlySaneMan: He's the only member of the uprising (aside from Cain) that's not AxCrazy, and avoids being violent for the sake of it. He's quick to point out to Daniel that attacking Stonehaven with only three mutts is a suicide mission.
111	* RedemptionEarnsLife: His HeelFaceTurn and honesty when faced with death ultimately causes Jeremy to decide to spare his life. Following Malcolm's death, Karl and Cain are the only members of the uprising to still be alive.
112	* SharpDressedMan: Like his novel counterpart, he's rarely if ever not wearing a nice suit.
113	* SlashedThroat: [[spoiler:How he dies.]]
114	* TallDarkAndHandsome / TallDarkAndSnarky: He's portrayed by the dark-haired and handsome Creator/PascalLangdale, and can be quite snarky.
115	[[/folder]]
116
117	[[folder:Daniel Santos]]
118	->'''Played By:''' Michael Luckett
119	* AxCrazy: He takes a sadistic glee in watching a captive Clay struggle.
120	* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the books, [=LeBlanc=] slices Daniel's throat when Elena surrenders to him in exchange for Clay. In the series, Elena kills him by [[AndShowItToYou tearing his heart out]] once he's cornered by the Pack.
121	* DirtyCoward: He doesn't want to face the Pack himself during the attack on Stonehaven, forcing the other mutts to deal with them themselves. Karl calls him out on it.
122	-->'''Karl:''' A true king leads the first wave.
123	-->'''Daniel:''' I don't see ''you'' up there.
124	* EvilIsHammy: His VillainousBreakdown in "Ready".
125	-->'''Daniel''': You think [Karl] is of use to you? [[SuddenlyShouting LOOK AT WHAT I'M CAPABLE OF!]] I created an empire of mayhem. And you…you never even saw it ''coming''.
126	* VillainousBreakdown: Has one after Karl betrays him.
127	[[/folder]]
128
129	[[folder:Zachary Cain]]
130	->'''Played By:''' Noah Danby
131	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He wants to settle down and raise a family with his girlfriend, Amber. Tragically, he is forced to take her off of life support after she is bitten and left brain-dead with no hope of recovery.
132	* HeelFaceTurn: He joins the Pack to help fight Aleister and Clara.
133	* HeroicSacrifice: In "Fine Temporum," he takes several bullets for Clay so that he can rescue Elena. He survives.
134	* RedemptionEarnsLife: He survives his above HeroicSacrifice after helping the pack fight Aleister and Clara, making him and Karl the only members of the first season's Mutt uprising to still be alive. [[spoiler:Cain becomes the sole survivor after Karl is killed in the series finale.]]
135	* SparedByTheAdaptation: He was killed by Clay in the first book. In the series, everyone ''thinks'' he's dead after he's attacked by Clay, but the second season reveals him to be alive [[spoiler:and he ends up surviving past the series finale.]]
136	[[/folder]]
137
138	[[folder:Thomas [=LeBlanc=]]]
139	->'''Played By:''' Curtis Caravaggio
140	* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Karl's dry wit tends to annoy him, but he can't help but chuckle when Karl insults Daniel's "Italian leather" shoes.
141	* AxCrazy: He's a deranged, misogynistic SerialKiller and SerialRapist.
142	* BriefAccentImitation: He makes fun of Karl's British accent at one point in "Ready".
143	-->'''[=LeBlanc=]:''' Have you gone bonkers on us, Mr. Marsten?
144	* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Elena killed him alone and in her wolf form in the books. In the series, Elena and Karl team up to kill him, with both in their human forms.
145	* EvilIsPetty: He forms a vendetta against Elena for ''breaking his wrist''.
146	* FourEyesZeroSoul: He wears glasses and tells Elena that he has no morals.
147	[[/folder]]
148
149	!!Humans
150	[[folder:Philip [=McAdams=]]]
151	->'''Played By:''' Paul Greene
152
153	* BettyAndVeronica: The Betty to Clay's Veronica, both to Elena's Archie. Alternatively, Philip is the more dangerous romantic choice as he has no knowledge of Elena's past, making him the Veronica and Clay the Betty.
154	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Elena has successfully kept him in the dark about her past and werewolf nature. Not so much after he sees her in wolf form.
155	* MuggleAndMagicalLoveTriangle: He's human, and Clay and Elena are both werewolves.
156	* MyBelovedSmother: Neither he nor his sisters are particularly happy with their mother.
157	[[/folder]]
158
159	[[folder:Rachel Sutton]]
160	->'''Played By:''' Genelle Williams
161	* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: She's excited to become a mother after becoming unexpectedly pregnant. Subverted when she tells Logan that she got an abortion because she cannot deal with the new supernatural aspects in her life after discovering he (and by extension their son) is a werewolf, then double subverted when it's revealed that this was a lie.
162	* MamaBear: To her son, Rocco.
163	* SuperhumanTransfusion: She becomes a witch after being injected with Savannah's blood.
164	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Elena's tomboy.
165	[[/folder]]

167	!!Witches
168	[[folder:Savannah Levine]]
169	->'''Played By:''' Kiara Glasco
170	* TheChosenOne: In the prophecy, she is the one who takes "the poison" (Elena's blood) to start the Undoing.
171	* CuteWitch: She's a young, yet powerful witch.
172	* InnocentBlueEyes: She has blue eyes and is naive and kind.
173	* TriggerPhrase: Aleister brainwashes her with the phrase "I am the lock," to which she responds "I am the key."
