Twilight saga & Teen Wolf

His body then burns, while Aro stands smiling and holding his head. This spurres the Cullens and the bystanders into action, and they attack, and a battle ensues. Ultimately, the battle, like Carlisle's death, is averted. With the help of Nahuel the Witness , the wolves, and Bella's shield, their efforts were successful, and the Volturi retreated. Carlisle and his family's allies suspect the Volturi may seek revenge for their humiliation in the future, and Carlisle says they will act against them again if the time comes. Appearance Carlisle Cullen Carlisle is described as looking like a model. He has neck-length blond hair, a toned, medium build, and soft eyes. He was 23 years old when he was transformed. He is described as looking like a movie star, and Charlie (Bella's father) said many nurses can't concentrate on their work with him around. But once Carlisle settled down and married Esme , Charlie said the admiration quickly faded at the hospital. Carlisle is graceful, muscular, and has a slight British accent from his youth, but he can speak with a flawless American accent. In Breaking Dawn , it is also said that he looks like "Zeus's younger, better-looking brother." His original eye color was blue before he became a vampire. Personality Carlisle's most striking personality trait is his compassion, which motivated him to live on animal blood and use his powers to help those in need rather than kill them. Stephenie Meyer said that his "compassion-driven composure is truly so incredible that it almost makes it his talent."

His loneliness in the years before he betrayed Edward, and his love for his "children," also indicate that, like Esme, he is very family-motivated. Carlisle is also very patient and open-minded. He has a passion for collecting, reading, and medicine. He is also very curious about the unknown, such as the genetic makeup of the Quileute tribe. His peaceful and accepting nature has allowed him to make many friends over the centuries, from fellow vampires to humans and even werewolves . For a time, he was even willing to tolerate life among the Volturi , despite the marked contrast between his great compassion and Aro 's callous disregard for human life—as demonstrated, for example, when Aro threw a profusely bleeding human body outside the library where Carlisle was studying, simply to test Carlisle's self-control. In The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, Bree explained that she trusted him to accept her surrender, somehow knowing that when he said he didn't want to fight and only wanted to protect his family, he was telling the truth.

" How can you do that? Even Alice and Esme... " "Years and years of practice. I barely notice the scent... What I love most is when my... enhanced abilities allow me to save someone who would otherwise be lost. It's satisfying to know that thanks to what I can do, some people live better lives because I exist. Even smell is sometimes useful for diagnosis. " ― Bella and Carlisle [east] Carlisle is immortal and has spent centuries honing his medical skills, becoming a superb physician. Unlike most vampires, after three hundred years of practice, he is no longer tempted by the scent of human blood and can use it to aid him in the workplace, turning his "curse" to his advantage. He developed his own theory about why certain vampires possess enhanced abilities: they bring something from human life into their new existence as vampires. He also believes that each vampire's most powerful abilities are enhanced during their transformation. What he brought into his next life was his unparalleled compassion for both humans and vampires, which prompted him to primarily rely on animal blood for his diet. He also uses his sense of smell to locate wounded humans who might have a chance of being saved. His exceptional self-control isn't a gift, like that of, say, Alice or Edward. Out of great compassion for people and a dislike for his own nature, Carlisle chose never to drink human blood, which is how he developed his impeccable thirst control. Despite his naturally gentle personality and excellent control over his instincts, he is also quite adept in combat, much like his adopted children and wife, as he easily defeats the newborns in Eclipse. Family Esme Cullen Esme-484606 42962020 " More than eighty years had passed since Carlisle found Esme, and yet he still looked at her with those distrustful eyes of first love. It would always be that way for them. " ― Edward on Carlisle and Esme's feelings Esme Cullen is Carlisle's wife and the second vampire he turned. Carlisle and Esme first met when she was sixteen, and he was treating her broken leg: she had fallen out of a tree, and Carlisle was the only doctor present at the time. They both made an impression on each other—Esme never met anyone who matched him. Her affection for Carlisle was strong enough that he turned Esme into a vampire ten years later when he discovered her dying after attempting suicide due to the loss of her son. It also proved how much he truly loved her and was willing to turn her into a vampire because he didn't want her to die or suffer. To his surprise, Esme accepted her transformation. They fell in love and married "quickly and easily." Her ability to love others passionately helped her devote herself to her husband's lifestyle. Edward Cullen Edward-376194 429619737081258 1836140990 n " I look at my… son. His strength, his kindness, his radiance—and it only fuels this hope, this faith, more than ever. How could there not be more for someone like Edward? " ― Carlisle about Edward Edward Cullen is Carlisle's first adopted son and the first vampire Carlisle turned. He was created by Carlisle in 1918, when he was dying of the Spanish flu. Carlisle worked all night at the hospital, where he met Elizabeth Mason , who begged him to do everything in his power to help Edward. Elizabeth died an hour later, and, missing his hands and eyes, Carlisle brought Edward to his home, where he altered him to fulfill Elizabeth's wishes and because he wanted a companion after centuries of loneliness. Edward initially abandoned Carlisle due to his unusual lifestyle, but he eventually returned and has since traveled with him across the United States to keep their existence a secret, oblivious to the aging factor of their new life. He gives Edward a love and bond that his real father didn't have, and Edward considers him the best parent anyone could have. While Carlisle loves his son unconditionally and thinks highly of him, Edward does everything he can to live up to his father's expectations. Carlisle was deeply troubled by his lack of happiness, and so he was grateful when Bella entered his life. Rosalie Hale Rosalie-552502 429621110414454 1551636146 n Rosalie Hale is Carlisle's second adopted child and the third vampire Carlisle turned. He found her dying on the streets of Rochester, New York, in 1933 after smelling blood and could tell she had been brutally raped by her drunken fiancé and his friends. He decided to turn her into a vampire to save her life. Furthermore, one of the reasons he changed her was because he hoped to make her Edward's mate, but they never showed any other affection. He didn't try to stop her when she pursued her attackers because he believed she deserved justice. Rosalie resented his actions, thinking he had taken away all that was human in her, but she chose to stay with her family to avoid being alone. Carlisle felt guilty for turning Rosalie against her will, so he complied with her wishes when she asked him to turn Emmett into a vampire. He believed it was a way to make things right by allowing her to choose her mate. Afterward, she came to respect Carlisle as a father and a doctor. She studied medicine to keep Carlisle up to date with the latest developments in world technology. Emmett Cullen Emmett-549711 429620033747895 270143180 n Emmett Cullen is Carlisle's youngest adopted son and the last vampire he created. Rosalie discovered him mauled by a bear in 1935, transported him 100 miles to Carlisle, and asked her to transform him into a vampire. During his transformation, he believed Rosalie was an angel and Carlisle was god. After his transformation was complete, they expected him to be upset by his betrayal, but instead, he found solace in it and became Rosalie's partner. The exact details of Emmett and Carlisle's relationship are unknown, but they are quite close, and Emmett is always willing to help him in difficult situations. Edward mentioned that Carlisle and Esme kicked out Rosalie and Emmett several times for destroying the houses they bought for them. Alice Cullen Alice-561432 429619343747964 2023403356 n Alice Cullen is Carlisle's adopted daughter. She knew about Carlisle and his family since 1920 thanks to her ability to foresee the future , which helped her find the Cullens and later join them with her companion Jasper in 1950. Alice respects Carlisle as a father figure, and Carlisle trusts her completely, even when she doubts herself. When she and Jasper left at the height of the crisis in Breaking Dawn , everyone believed they'd abandoned the others. However, Carlisle still respected her decision and defended her when Sam accused her of betrayal. He was overjoyed when Alice and Jasper returned with a remarkable ally to save them all. Jasper Hale Jasper Hale is Carlisle's adopted son. He and Alice joined the Carlisle family in 1950, leaving their previous lifestyle behind. Over the decades, they formed a strong family bond. In Eclipse , Carlisle demonstrates faith in Jasper's leadership skills and necessary knowledge about newborns . The exact details between Jasper and Carlisle's relationship are unknown, but it is known that Jasper has grown to love Carlisle as much as he has loved others over the years, though his emotional connections are not as deep as Alice's. Bella Swan Bella Swan in Breaking Dawn " Bella is like a daughter to me now. My favorite daughter. " ― Carlisle Bella Swan is Carlisle's adoptive sister-in-law, married to Edward. She learns of the Cullens' true identities after Edward becomes romantically attached to her, but finds their family intriguing rather than frightening. Carlisle and Bella first met in the hospital when Bella was nearly crushed by a van, and Edward saved her with his strength and speed. Carlisle is grateful for her existence, as he constantly worried that Edward would not find a mate. One day, she consoles Carlisle that he is not cursed as a vampire because of his kindness, unparalleled self-control, healing abilities, and immortality, which allow him to help people. In New Moon, Bella gathers Edward's family to vote on whether she will be allowed to become a vampire and join their family or remain human. Despite Edward and Rosalie's protests, Carlisle agrees to let Bella join them to prevent his son from committing suicide if she dies. Bella acknowledges Carlisle's authority as the head of the family, noting that his vote mattered more than any majority. She officially joined their family after marrying Edward, giving birth to Renesmee Cullen, and eventually turning into a vampire. Renesmee Cullen Renesmeeuntaggedpic Renesmee Cullen is the biological daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan (who was pregnant while still human), making her a human-vampire hybrid and Carlisle's adopted granddaughter. While Bella was pregnant, Carlisle and Edward wanted to abort the fetus, but with Bella's persistence, Rosalie's protection, and, most importantly, Esme's consent, Carlisle found himself in a difficult situation. After her birth, Carlisle comes to love Renesmee as much as he loves the rest of his family. Although they mostly try to get her to adapt to animal blood, she prefers human blood, and Carlisle sometimes brings in donated human blood from the hospital. Jacob Black Jacob- " No, I promise you I didn't mean to harm you. It's just… I find your appearance fascinating. I suppose elements of vampiric nature have become commonplace to me over the centuries. Your family's difference from humanity is far more interesting. Almost magical. " ― Carlisle on werewolves [ist] Jacob Black is a member of the Quileute tribe and a werewolf , capable of transforming into a giant wolf. His ancestor long ago made a pact with Carlisle's family to protect their tribe and forbade the Cullens from hunting on their lands or biting humans. Jacob is initially very hostile to the Cullens, especially Edward, because they are both in love with Bella and fighting over her. In Eclipse, when Victoria creates an army of newborn vampires to destroy the Cullens, they join forces with the Quileute wolves and emerge victorious. Carlisle also tended to Jacob's injuries after he was crushed by a newborn. Seeing Carlisle's gentle nature and kindness, he begins to respect him. After Jacob imprints on his granddaughter, Renesmee, the werewolf begins spending more time in the Cullen household, and his relationships with all the vampires, including Carlisle, improve. His imprinting on Renesmee also brings lasting peace between the Cullens and the Quileute wolves, as they have laws against harming an imprinted wolf. " It's true happiness to meet someone you can open your soul to and who accepts you for who you are. I've waited a long time for this day to become something more than I am. And with Bella, I feel close to that. No matter how much time we spend together, it will never be enough. Let's start with eternity? " ― Edward [east] Edward Cullen (born Edward Anthony Mason , Jr. ) is a telepathic vampire , one of the founders of the Olympic coven , and the main protagonist of the Twilight saga . He is the husband of Bella Swan and the father of Renesmee Cullen . Edward is the adopted son of Carlisle and Esme Cullen , and the brother-in-law of Charlie Swan and Renee Dwyer . He is the adoptive brother of Emmett and Alice Cullen , as well as Rosalie and Jasper Hale . After Edward nearly died of the Spanish flu in Chicago in 1918, Carlisle turned him into a vampire as the only alternative to death. Over the next ninety years, the couple gathered a family of vampires around them and called themselves "vegetarians." His counterpart in Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined is Edythe Cullen . Personality Edward is typically described as brooding and stubborn, yet also very kind and compassionate. Bella also describes him as charming, polite, and decisive. He easily dazzles girls with his beauty, scent, and body, coaxing them into doing his bidding. He always puts Bella's safety, humanity, and well-being above all else and does everything he can to protect her from any danger he perceives. Edward is also a bit of a romantic at heart. He often analyzes situations and is prone to overreacting, especially in situations where Bella's safety might be at risk—as seen in his decision to disable her car to prevent her from visiting the emotionally unstable Jacob Black . He retains some traditional thinking and archaic speech patterns from his human life in the early 20th century. Edward Cullen's character was influenced by Gilbert Blythe, Fitzwilliam Darcy, and Edward Rochester, especially the latter, who, like him, considers himself a "monster." Edward uses his free time productively. Since vampires do not sleep, he spends his nights reading books, studying languages, science, business, and music, and becoming a virtuoso on the piano, which he keeps in his home. As a human, he learned to play the piano and became a very good pianist. This character trait was passed on to him during his transformation, resulting in his passion for composing. Edward enjoys listening to a wide variety of music, including classical, jazz, progressive metal, alternative rock, and punk rock, but dislikes country. He prefers indie rock to mainstream music and appreciates rock and classical music equally. On one car ride, he surprises Bella by playing Debussy on his CD player. Edward mentions in Twilight that he likes the music of the 1950s more than the 1960s, but dislikes the 1970s completely, saying the 1980s were "merely passable." He never comments on the music of his own teenage years, nor on the swing music of the 1920s, which emerged a few years after his conversion. Edward and his family enjoy driving fast. He has a hobby: collecting cars. He owns a Volvo S60R, which turns into a C30 in the film adaptation, and an Aston Martin Vanquish—a car for "special occasions." In Eclipse, he also gave his sister Alice a yellow Porsche 911 Turbo. He bought a motorcycle to ride with Bella , but gave it to Jasper when he realized she was doing it with Jacob . Esme described him as a gentleman. Although Edward seems convinced of his soullessness, Bella noted that on some level he must believe he has a soul, since when he saw her in Volterra , believing her to be dead, he automatically assumed he had gone to heaven with her, not that she was alive. Stephenie Meyer explains that Edward was initially a pessimist. He always considered himself a failure, undeserving of happiness, and he didn't believe his relationship with Bella would last until he gave her a daughter and brought her more happiness than he could have ever imagined. For him, Bella's happiness meant everything, and more than that, he was the one who gave it to her. By the end of Breaking Dawn , he becomes a much more positive person and fearlessly faces the Volturi . Appearance Edward is exceptionally handsome. Bella often described his appearance as resembling the mythical Greek god Adonis. His facial features are described as perfect and angular—high cheekbones, a strong jawline, perfect brows, a straight nose, and full lips. His unkempt hair retains the unusual bronze hue he inherited from his biological mother, Elizabeth Mason . His eyes, once green, are now described as topaz or liquid gold. His appearance changes when he goes without drinking blood for a long time: his eyes darken, becoming black as onyx, and purple shadows appear under his eyes, resembling bruises. Edward is 180 cm tall, with a lean yet muscular build; he appears physically frozen at the age of 17, although he is technically over 100. He usually wears light-colored clothes and a light beige leather jacket. In The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner , Bree refers to Edward as "the red-headed mind reader" because she never knew his name. Biography Early life Edward was born on June 20, 1901. His parents and he both contracted the Spanish flu. Carlisle found him and his parents in the hospital. Edward's father, Edward Sr., died in the first wave of the flu, but his mother, Elizabeth Mason, held out long enough to convince Carlisle to do everything possible to save her son. Then, in 1918, he turned Edward into a vampire. Edward also gained his vampire ability, namely, mind reading. Twilight Main article: Twilight At Forks High School, Edward met a girl whose mind he couldn't read. The scent of Bella Swan (that was the girl's name) literally drove the vampire crazy, provoking him to attack. It was difficult for him, but through incredible effort and constant self-control, he managed to overcome his basic instinct—thirst, which was especially provoked by Bella ( for him, Bella was like "his personal brand of heroin"). The girl was different from other people not only in this—the young man couldn't read her thoughts; she also possessed an unusual ability—to attract trouble. Edward repeatedly saved Bella , falling more and more in love with her. Nevertheless, he realized that he simply could not bear it and kill her. However, it soon becomes clear that the girl is also not indifferent to him, realizing that Edward is a vampire and admitting that it doesn't matter to her. They begin dating. Edward introduces her to his family, his clan . One day, the Cullens and Bella are playing baseball, but then nomadic vampires who don't adhere to the "vegetarian diet" enter the Cullen territory. One of them, the tracker James , begins hunting Bella . Edward tries to hide her, but it's no use; if not for Edward's timely intervention, she would have died. James bites Bella, and she begins to transform into a vampire. At that moment, the Cullens come to the rescue and kill James . Edward drains Bella's infected blood , and she remains human. New moon Main article: New Moon Bella Swan is turning eighteen. She's terrified of it (it's giving her nightmares), so she asks everyone not to mention her birthday. Alice and Edward won't hear of it, however, and try to improve Bella's mood . Some time later, Alice persuades Bella to celebrate her birthday at the Cullen house , which Bella agrees to. However, while unwrapping gifts, Bella accidentally cuts her finger, and the vampire Jasper , Edward's brother, nearly attacks her. Bella is injured, though not seriously. Edward becomes distant, and Bella suspects something is wrong, but dismisses it as a false alarm. Edward soon tells Bella that he and his family are moving because people at Carlisle's workplace have allegedly begun to notice he's not aging (in reality, the vampire wanted to give Bella a chance to live a normal life). Edward is forced to break up with Bella , which drives his lover crazy: she begins to have nightmares—Edward's "ghost" haunts her. But Jacob Black comes to her aid , helping her forget for a while. But then Jacob matures, joins the boys he previously despised, and stops talking to Bella . Jacob struggles with the separation from his friend, but he can't tell her everything, though she figures it out. Bella , seeking an adrenaline rush and hallucinating Edward warning her against foolishness and recklessness, jumps off a cliff. She begins to drown and then hits the rock in the water. After being washed ashore by the waves, Jacob (who has a crush on her) finds her and performs CPR on her. When Jacob takes Bella home, she is greeted warmly by Alice . Alice , thinking Bella was dead, wanted to sympathize with Charlie , who was away ( Charlie's friend , Harry Clearwater , had a heart attack). It turns out Alice can't see werewolves. Alice later tells Bella that Edward has decided to go to the Volturi to have them kill him because he can't live without Bella . This is further reinforced by Jacob's answering Edward's phone call: Charlie isn't home, preparing for a funeral. Bella and Alice go to rescue him, and in the end, everything works out, and they decide to live together for the rest of their lives. But he soon realizes that in his absence, Bella has found solace in Jacob Black , one of the werewolves . Bella makes a choice about who to continue her life with. Eclipse Main article: Eclipse Bella and Edward's relationship is rekindled. Bella finds this difficult, as Jacob doesn't accept it and increasingly clashes with the young Cullen. Beyond their relationship problem, there's another, Victoria . The vampire desires Bella's death and has created a vengeful army of newly turned vampires to achieve this. To protect Bella and all the residents of Forks, the Cullens are forced to ally with a clan of werewolves , including Jacob . Before the battle, Edward proposes to Bella , who accepts, but Jacob, upon learning of this, begins to suffer greatly. The battle is a success—Edward and Seth defeat Victoria , and the vampire and werewolf clan successfully defeats the army. Jacob is wounded in the battle, but despite this, Bella decides to tell him everything. The werewolf doesn't accept his friend's decision, soon cuts off all ties with his friends, and leaves. Dawn Main article: Breaking Dawn In the final part of the saga, Edward and Bella become husband and wife, after which they go on a honeymoon, where Bella becomes pregnant. The pregnancy of the newly-wed Mrs. Cullen is unusually difficult – the baby drains all the strength from its mother's body. So much so that Bella begins to wither away with each passing day. All the Cullens decide that the child should not live, everyone except Bella and Rosalie . During childbirth , Bella almost dies, but Edward manages to make her a vampire. As a result, the Cullens give birth to a half-vampire child. The parents name their daughter Renesmee . Jacob begins to feel strange feelings for the girl. Soon after the birth , Bella and Edward go on her first hunt. There, Mrs. Cullen displays self-control unprecedented for a newly turned vampire. Renesmee , however, begins to grow extremely rapidly, and soon learns to walk and talk. Some time later, the Volturi learn of the unusual girl. Believing Edward and Bella have turned the child, they wage war against the Cullens , as there is a long-standing law prohibiting the turning of children, as they cannot control their thirst. A campaign to gather information begins. The Cullens from all over the world gather evidence of Renesmee's safety , and even a pack of werewolves joins forces with the vampires to assist. When the Volturi arrive, Bella reveals her gift, which has increased several thousandfold since becoming a vampire—she blocks Jane's gift , which brings pain to everyone she looks at. Alice , meanwhile, cites Nahuel as an example of Renesmee's safety . After all this, Bella and Edward return home. There, Bella, with great effort, finally removes her mental shield so Edward can read her thoughts. But soon the Volturi learn of a child from Irina , a vampire from a neighboring coven . Her mother was once executed by the Volturi for creating an immortal child. Irina believes this child is the immortal child. Such creatures have filled her with dread ever since, so she informs on the Cullens. The Volturi, as a coven, decide to "visit" the Cullens and, at the same time, induct some vampires with special abilities into the coven. During the meeting , they hear the story of Renesmee (Bella and Edward's daughter) and retreat. In the end, Bella and Edward will live happily ever after together for eternity. The second film In the second film, Alice shows Aro what will happen if the Volturi do try to attack the Cullens and their witnesses. Capabilities Edward, like any other vampire, possesses immortality, incredible strength, perfect vision, exceptional hearing, and a keen sense of smell. He runs and moves faster than other vampires. When exposed to sunlight, his skin, like that of other vampires, glows as if dusted with diamond dust. He also possesses greater speed than most vampires and a gift other vampires lack. Edward can eavesdrop on conversations from a distance, much to Bella's mild dismay . Carlisle believes Edward was quite perceptive in his human form. Special forces Telepathy —he possesses a gift unmatched by other vampires. He can read the minds of all living beings within three miles, with one exception: Bella . He also has difficulty reading the mind of her father, Charlie Swan . Edith Cullen is a character from Stephenie Meyer's book Life and Death: Twilight. Reimagined (the female equivalent of Edward Cullen), a telepathic vampire from the Cullen family who does not drink human blood, but feeds on animal blood, like her "brother" Edward in the original saga, and uses her gift to protect Bo Swan. She plays a key role in the confrontation with the werewolves, acting as a link between the Cullen clan and the pack, and her mind cannot read only Bo Swan. Main features: Vegetarian Vampire: Like the other Kalens, it feeds on animal blood. Telepath: Able to read minds, but only in those who do not have a mental shield like Beau Swan. Role in story: Performs functions similar to those of Edward in the original story, but in the female version, where she protects the heroine Belle (Beau). Clan Cullen: She is a member of the vampire family, but in the Life and Death version, her role and origins are different from the classic Edward. Difference from Edward Cullen: Edith Cullen is Edward's "mirror" in the upside-down story, where the main character, Bella Swan, is a man (Bo Swan) and Edward is a woman named Edith. Edythe Cullen is one of the main characters in Stephenie Meyer's novel Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined, published in 2015. Here are the main facts about this character: Gender Inversion: Edith is the female version of Edward Cullen. The book is a retelling of Twilight, where almost all the characters have changed genders (except for Charlie and Renee). Role in story: She is a vampire who falls in love with a mortal young man named Beaufort (Beau) Swan (male version of Bella). Appearance: Described as an incredibly beautiful girl with bronze hair and golden (or black, depending on hunger) eyes. Abilities: Like Edward, Edith has the ability to read the minds of everyone around her, with the exception of Beauty. Difference in ending: Unlike the original Twilight, the story of Edith and Beau in this book has a complete and more dramatic ending within a single volume. Banshee Connection: At least some Banshees appear to have a similar connection with Hellhounds, who are also harbingers of death and who share some of the powers that Banshees have, such premonitions and being drawn to recently deceased bodies. This has been demonstrated by Lydia and a Hellhound named Jordan Parrish, who share both a supernatural and a romantic connection that allows them to locate each other in emergency situations, along with being able to communicate important messages to each other regarding an impending death; for example, Lydia unconsciously appeared in Parrish's mind after he had been attacked by Belasko and urged him to hold on until help arrived, ("Creatures of the Night") and she did the same thing after she had become catatonic to warn him of her current status and the fact that Noah Stilinski was near death as well. ("The Last Chimera") Lydia was also shown to have a strong connection to another Hellhound, Halwyn, even when the latter was functionally dead after his vessel was shot in the head with a silver-coated bullet by Tamora Monroe ("Memory Lost"); while Lydia was unconscious on two separate occasions, Halwyn sent Lydia premonitions to help her understand his history and what had happened to him, along with information regarding the current threat of the Anuk-ite. ("Werewolves of London"), ("Genotype") Premonitions: As part of the Harbinger Connection, the Hellhound can experience premonitions (most often in the form of dreams, but they can also occur when the Hellhound and/or its vessel is awake); for example, the premonition Parrish experienced that depicted the future in which they are retrieving the bodies of the dead Chimeras (or dead supernaturals) and bringing them to the Nemeton to be burned in their ritual. ("Condition Terminal") However, since the future is ever-changing, those who are dead in the Hellhounds' dream may not end up that way if the event that caused their death can be stopped. Thermokinesis: Hellhounds have the ability to generate an extreme amount of heat from one's body, and can heat their and direct the heat through their hands to melt objects such as metal without having to utilize fire to do so. Parrish/Cerberus used a more advanced version of this ability to great effect during the war with the Hunters, as he was able to send out a wave of heat from his body that made the Hunters' guns heat up to the point of glowing orange, forcing them to drop them before they could be burned. ("The Wolves of War") Fire Immunity: Due to their pyrokinetic and thermokinetic abilities, the Hellhound is completely immune to the effects of heat and fire. Jordan Parrish was once doused in gasoline and set ablaze, and the only negative side effect that occurred was that his clothing melted; otherwise, he suffered no burns or injuries of any kind. Fire is even able to bring the Hellhound into control. Harbinger Connection: The Hellhound (and the Wild Hunt in general) has a mysterious connection to other Harbingers of Death. ("Amplification") This fire does not always need to be harmful, though, as the Hellhound has also used it to protect Lydia Martin and the bystanders from her Banshee scream. ("Lie Ability") After some practice, Parrish was able to produce projectile streams of fire from his palms, directing it wherever he wanted, such as using it as a weapon against an opponent.Green fire form Green fire form

Accelerated Healing: The Hellhound has been shown to heal from mild to moderate wounds extremely quickly. Parrish has had his abdomen clawed open and his chest impaled with a pipe, both of which healed completely within an hour. It appears that the Hellhound's healing ability is related to its fire-based powers, as the wounds are shown to literally smoke until the tissue is regenerated. This healing happens much quicker when the Hellhound is in control; when their human vessel is in control, their healing is remarkably decreased in speed. Pyrokinesis: The Hellhound possesses the ability to produce extremely hot flames from within their body, which they can use for many different effects. The Hellhound, while in Parrish's body, has been seen using the flames his body creates to set fire to the bodies of the dead Chimeras whose supernatural secret he was protecting; to enhance his fighting by using flaming fists to hit opponents; and using it as a defensive mechanism, such as when Corey Bryant grabbed him and was subsequently set ablaze. ("Amplification") This fire does not always need to be harmful, though, as the Hellhound has also used it to protect Lydia Martin and the bystanders from her Banshee scream. ("Lie Ability") After some practice, Parrish was able to produce projectile streams of fire from his palms, directing it wherever he wanted, such as using it as a weapon against an opponent.Green fire form Green fire form

("Werewolves of London"), ("Genotype") Premonitions: As part of the Harbinger Connection, the Hellhound can experience premonitions (most often in the form of dreams, but they can also occur when the Hellhound and/or its vessel is awake); for example, the premonition Parrish experienced that depicted the future in which they are retrieving the bodies of the dead Chimeras (or dead supernaturals) and bringing them to the Nemeton to be burned in their ritual. ("Condition Terminal") However, since the future is ever-changing, those who are dead in the Hellhounds' dream may not end up that way if the event that caused their death can be stopped. Super Senses: The Hellhound's heightened senses allow them to see, smell or hear things that normal humans cannot, though the exact range of this power has yet to be defined. Halwyn demonstrated a very acute sense of hearing, which he could use to identify people simply by listening to their specific heart rate and pattern.("Memory Lost") When their eyes glow with hellfire, their eyesight is enhanced enough to see in the dark and to perceive supernatural phenomena not otherwise visible to human sight, such as the Nemeton.

Super Durability: The Hellhound's body is much more durable than that of a normal human, allowing them to endure impact trauma with little to no injury. Parrish and Halwyn have both been seen getting thrown forcefully into (and sometimes even through) walls and have gotten right up to continue fighting, and has handled being punched and hit by the Beast of Gevaudan with a similar amount of endurance. Halwyn was hit across the face with a torn-off locker door by Liam Dunbar and was barely fazed by the impact.("Memory Lost") Shapeshifting: The Hellhound has the ability to transform the bodies of their human hosts into Hellhound form, which involves glowing reddish-orange eyes, retractable claws and fangs that are deadly sharp, and skin that has the appearance of black volcanic rock with veins of molten lava running through it. Pyrokinetic Shapeshifting: The Hellhound can transform into a fire-based being, their bodies completely composed of flames with which it can selectively use to protect or ignite; for example, the flames covering Parrish's hand caused a Chimera named Corey Bryant to burst into flames and sustain third-degree burns over his entire body, ("Amplification") while a Banshee, Lydia Martin, was protected by the flames when Cerberus wrapped his flaming arms and body around her to protect her and the bystanders from her overpowered Banshee wail. ("Lie Ability") When the Hellhound is being compelled by a Ghost Rider of the Wild Hunt (or, in Garrett Douglas' case, a supernatural being who has taken the power of a Ghost Rider), their glowing eyes will turn from blazing orange-red to bright blue-green, reflecting the same color as the Wild Hunt's mystical energy.("Blitzkrieg") Accelerated Healing: The Hellhound has been shown to heal from mild to moderate wounds extremely quickly. Parrish has had his abdomen clawed open and his chest impaled with a pipe, both of which healed completely within an hour. It appears that the Hellhound's healing ability is related to its fire-based powers, as the wounds are shown to literally smoke until the tissue is regenerated. This healing happens much quicker when the Hellhound is in control; when their human vessel is in control, their healing is remarkably decreased in speed. Pyrokinesis: The Hellhound possesses the ability to produce extremely hot flames from within their body, which they can use for many different effects. The Hellhound, while in Parrish's body, has been seen using the flames his body creates to set fire to the bodies of the dead Chimeras whose supernatural secret he was protecting; to enhance his fighting by using flaming fists to hit opponents; and using it as a defensive mechanism, such as when Corey Bryant grabbed him and was subsequently set ablaze. ("Amplification") This fire does not always need to be harmful, though, as the Hellhound has also used it to protect Lydia Martin and the bystanders from her Banshee scream. ("Lie Ability") After some practice, Parrish was able to produce projectile streams of fire from his palms, directing it wherever he wanted, such as using it as a weapon against an opponent.Green fire form Green fire form

Thermokinesis: Hellhounds have the ability to generate an extreme amount of heat from one's body, and can heat their and direct the heat through their hands to melt objects such as metal without having to utilize fire to do so. Parrish/Cerberus used a more advanced version of this ability to great effect during the war with the Hunters, as he was able to send out a wave of heat from his body that made the Hunters' guns heat up to the point of glowing orange, forcing them to drop them before they could be burned. ("The Wolves of War") Fire Immunity: Due to their pyrokinetic and thermokinetic abilities, the Hellhound is completely immune to the effects of heat and fire. Jordan Parrish was once doused in gasoline and set ablaze, and the only negative side effect that occurred was that his clothing melted; otherwise, he suffered no burns or injuries of any kind. Fire is even able to bring the Hellhound into control. Harbinger Connection: The Hellhound (and the Wild Hunt in general) has a mysterious connection to other Harbingers of Death. Banshee Connection: At least some Banshees appear to have a similar connection with Hellhounds, who are also harbingers of death and who share some of the powers that Banshees have, such premonitions and being drawn to recently deceased bodies. This has been demonstrated by Lydia and a Hellhound named Jordan Parrish, who share both a supernatural and a romantic connection that allows them to locate each other in emergency situations, along with being able to communicate important messages to each other regarding an impending death; for example, Lydia unconsciously appeared in Parrish's mind after he had been attacked by Belasko and urged him to hold on until help arrived, ("Creatures of the Night") and she did the same thing after she had become catatonic to warn him of her current status and the fact that Noah Stilinski was near death as well.

("Condition Terminal") However, since the future is ever-changing, those who are dead in the Hellhounds' dream may not end up that way if the event that caused their death can be stopped. Weaknesses The Hellhound is implied to be reborn on Earth in the body of a human when it has a duty to fulfill, such as the Hellhound Cerberus' mission to defeat The Beast of Gevaudan and possibly protect the Nemeton. When the Hellhound is initially possessing a human, they are only partially active, as they spend most of the daytime hours in human form where their control is suppressed, and therefore their vessel is usually ignorant to their true nature. Additionally, they are more vulnerable during the daylight hours, as it usually isn't until after nightfall that the Hellhound takes control of the body and suppresses the human spirit. Fire is currently the only known thing that can reliably force the transformation from Human to Hellhound so as to counter this weakness.Additionally, because of their dual nature, their actions while in Hellhound form can be unpredictable. The dual nature is implied to be the reason why the Hellhound was losing his battle against the Beast, as it is fighting against Parrish's spirit for control. This can be rectified by the Hellhound spirit and human spirit communicating and agreeing to become balanced in their control over their shared body. Ghost Riders are able to exert some control over Hellhounds, as the Ghost Rider captured by the McCall Pack compelled Cerberus/Parrish to use his fire to burn away the Mountain Ash barrier trapping him and nearly caused them to free him. After consuming the pineal gland from the aforementioned Ghost Rider, Garrett Douglas gained some aspects of their powers, allowing him to take control of Cerberus/Parrish by stating, "Steigen, Höllenhund!", which is German for "Mount, Hellhound!" This allowed Garrett to force the Hellhound to open a rift so the two of them could safely travel to the Phantom Train Station. ("Blitzkrieg")Additionally, Ghost Rider weapons, such as their pistols, are able to temporarily deactivate a Hellhound's power by extinguishing its flames and forcing it back into human form. All of the aforementioned weaknesses leave a Hellhound vulnerable to the whims of the Wild Hunt. Like other animalistic shapeshifters such as Werewolves and Werecoyotes, taking too much physical harm can also weaken and force a Hellhound back into its human form, such as impalement by metal bars or even claws. This leaves them open to threats of a mundane level as their human form lacks most of their supernatural durability. While the myth that Werewolves are vulnerable to silver is just that—a myth—Hellhounds actually are susceptible to silver bullets, as being shot in the head with one can cause them to enter a deathlike state, as evidenced when this exact circumstance happened to Halwyn after being shot by Tamora Monroe. Halwyn then ultimately died as a result, as the removal of the bullet caused his body to heat up as it healed the damage, subsequently melting the leftover silver fragments and causing him to die from silver poisoning. Another possible weakness is that despite the spirit's age, the host does not inherent the spirit's experience, as while Parrish had the ancient Cerberus as his spirit, he was still unable to defeat Halwyn, who had been a host for longer than Parrish though it is unknown how old Halwyn's Hellhound spirit was. Known Hellhound Vessels Jordan Parrish Hellhound Vessel; September 2011 – Present

4x09 Parrish Parrish was first possessed by the Hellhound when he was in Afghanistan in the autumn of 2011 (which took place during the Season 3 episode Alpha Pact). He was attempting to defuse a bomb, but when he cut the wrong wire, it blew up in his face at the exact same moment that the Nemeton in Beacon Hills was being reawakened by a surrogate sacrifice ritual performed by Scott McCall, Allison Argent, and Stiles Stilinski. The reawakened Nemeton somehow caused the Hellhound to be reborn into Parrish's body, which Parrish himself had no recollection of happening until the Argents helped him remember in The Sword and the Spirit. When the Chimeras created by the Dread Doctors in hopes of resurrecting The Beast of Gevaudan began to fail and risked the exposure of the supernatural world, the Hellhound within Parrish was activated, and he began unknowingly taking the dead Chimera bodies and leaving them at the Nemeton, thus protecting the secret. Parrish began dreaming about the sacrifices, but he didn't learn until recently that they weren't dreams, but are actually true visions. ("Condition Terminal")

Characteristics It is unknown how many Hellhounds exist in the Teen Wolf universe, but, at present, only two have been introduced. The first Hellhound, who is referred to as Cerberus, is currently possessing Jordan Parrish, and the second, known as Halwyn, has been possessing an unnamed male vessel since at least 1912. Cerberus Parrish's Hellhound has gone by many names throughout its immensely long life, including Cerberus, Garmr, the Black Shuck, and the Black Dog, presumably gaining the names from various different cultures' version of the Hellhound legend in mythology. From the short amount of time the Hellhound has been seen in control of Parrish's body, he has given the impression of being aloof and focused solely on fulfilling his mission, barely seeming to notice anything else around him due to his view that it is small and unimportant in comparison. However, he is perfectly willing to eliminate any obstacle in his path if they seem to get in his way, such as the violence he has committed in his pursuit to take the bodies of the dead Chimeras to the Nemeton. That said, he worked with Scott McCall, Stiles Stilinski, and Liam Dunbar, allowing them to follow him in his pursuit of the Banshee, Lydia Martin, at Eichen House; he even moved Stiles out of the way with only minimal force so he could shield them from the force of the Banshee's scream. This contrasts strongly with his reaction to the members of the Chimera Pack, who he forcefully attacked after Theo Raeken ordered them to take him down. The Hellhound even warned Scott and his pack about the Beast's trap, suggesting that he at the very least views the pack as innocent creatures who are not worth killing; given the fact that the Hellhound is known as the Guardian of the Supernatural, he may have been trying to protect them in the same way he intended to protect the secret of the supernatural world's existence. Personality-wise, Parrish's Hellhound is seemingly completely neutral and thus neither good nor evil. While he views Parrish as nothing more than a vessel in his mission to defeat the Beast, he was willing to listen to Lydia when she told him that he could only defeat his foe by accepting Parrish's spirit and allowing them to work together. While his duty is to cover up the supernatural, hiding it from the human world, he hasn't attempted to kill witnesses of his behavior, nor those who know about the supernatural, suggesting that he has some sort of moral code that he follows regarding loss of innocent life. Halwyn Halwyn was very determined in his hunt and also used violence against those who would impede him (at least those who were supernatural, such as the Werewolf Liam Dunbar and fellow Hellhound Jordan Parrish), having a similar single-minded goal as Cerberus in that they intended to hunt and kill something that was a serious threat. Halwyn mistakenly hunted Liam but later realized that he was not the entity he was after and changed tactics. The entity he was hunting was revealed to be an Anuk-ite, a powerful shapeshifter that fed on and generated fear; Halwyn had previously caught it and trapped it in the Wild Hunt at some point during or prior to 1912, after which point he helped build Eichen House, where he could have a safe place to go dormant until he was needed. Powers and Abilities Amortality: According to Cerberus, he is beyond life and death and are one of the few (if not the only) infinite beings in the Teen Wolf universe. He implied that his spirit is extremely old, and judging by the comment he made about being known as Cerberus, a Hellhound figure from Ancient Greek mythology, he has possibly existed for millennia.("A Credible Threat") The Hellhound spirit itself exists forever by being reborn into new human bodies when he has a supernatural duty to fulfill on Earth. This immortality appears to extend to their vessels, as Halwyn's vessel appears to have not aged in the one hundred or so years that it has been imprisoned in Eichen House, though it is unknown whether or not his period of dormancy had anything to do with this arrested aging process.("Memory Lost") Possession: The Hellhound can take a human vessel by imbuing it with its spirit and power. By doing so, the human gains all of the powers and the abilities of the Hellhound, a process that the Hellhound has seemingly performed countless times throughout its long life. After possessing a body, the Hellhound can either dominate the vessel's spirit and control their body like its own, or they can merge themselves with the spirit of their vessel so that they can work together for a common goal, such as what happened with Parrish and Cerberus when it became clear that they would unable to defeat the Beast without each other's cooperation. It's possible that the human needs to be moments away from death in order to be possessed by a Hellhound, as was the case with Parrish, who had just accidentally triggered an I.E.D. explosion while serving in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan when the Hellhound Cerberus possessed him, keeping him alive in the process. ("A Credible Threat") Super Strength: The Hellhound is incredibly strong. This was demonstrated when Parrish knocked Theo Raeken out with one punch and flipped over Stiles' Jeep with ease while Stiles was still inside of it.("Strange Frequencies") It even had enough strength to possibly rival the Beast by blocking its strong strikes, though he had to this with two hands due to the immense size difference between them.("The Sword and the Spirit"), ("A Credible Threat"), ("The Beast of Beacon Hills"), ("Apotheosis") After the McCall Pack successfully trapped a Ghost Rider in a cage and surrounded it with Mountain Ash, the Hellhound was compelled by the Ghost Rider to break the mountain ash barrier; when both Scott and Liam attempted to stop him, they were both forced to sync their efforts and push off from the bars of the cage while lifting the Hellhound from the ground just to knock him back and prevent the Hellhound from getting closer. ("Blitzkrieg") Super Speed, Agility, and Reflexes: Like most supernatural creatures, the Hellhound is very fast, easily faster than any normal human. The Hellhound appears to be one of Teen Wolf's most swift creatures, as it was running so fast that it easily kept up with the pace of the Beast of Gevaudan ("A Credible Threat") and was able to completely clear up the blood and body left after Donovan Donati's death within moments so that it appeared as though no one had ever been there.("A Novel Approach") Jordan's Hellhound form Jordan's Hellhound form

Super Senses: The Hellhound's heightened senses allow them to see, smell or hear things that normal humans cannot, though the exact range of this power has yet to be defined. Halwyn demonstrated a very acute sense of hearing, which he could use to identify people simply by listening to their specific heart rate and pattern.("Memory Lost") When their eyes glow with hellfire, their eyesight is enhanced enough to see in the dark and to perceive supernatural phenomena not otherwise visible to human sight, such as the Nemeton.

Banshee Connection: At least some Banshees appear to have a similar connection with Hellhounds, who are also harbingers of death and who share some of the powers that Banshees have, such premonitions and being drawn to recently deceased bodies. This has been demonstrated by Lydia and a Hellhound named Jordan Parrish, who share both a supernatural and a romantic connection that allows them to locate each other in emergency situations, along with being able to communicate important messages to each other regarding an impending death; for example, Lydia unconsciously appeared in Parrish's mind after he had been attacked by Belasko and urged him to hold on until help arrived, ("Creatures of the Night") and she did the same thing after she had become catatonic to warn him of her current status and the fact that Noah Stilinski was near death as well.

("Werewolves of London"), ("Genotype") Premonitions: As part of the Harbinger Connection, the Hellhound can experience premonitions (most often in the form of dreams, but they can also occur when the Hellhound and/or its vessel is awake); for example, the premonition Parrish experienced that depicted the future in which they are retrieving the bodies of the dead Chimeras (or dead supernaturals) and bringing them to the Nemeton to be burned in their ritual. ("Condition Terminal") However, since the future is ever-changing, those who are dead in the Hellhounds' dream may not end up that way if the event that caused their death can be stopped. Precognitive Dreaming: Hellhounds capable of perceiving future events in dreams. He first began experiencing premonitions in general in dreams in which he was taking the bodies of the Chimeras who were considered failures by the Dread Doctors to the Nemeton to be burned in order to hide them from the human community. Rift Manipulation: Due to its connection to the Wild Hunt (as well as their pyrokinetic powers), the Hellhound is able to safely cross through rifts in the fabric of reality and can use its strength to manually open a rift so that others can safely travel through it as well. This was demonstrated when Garrett Douglas, who was controlling Cerberus/Parrish at the time, compelled them to forcefully open a hole in the rift so that the two of them could pass through. ("Blitzkrieg") Supernatural Immunity: Like Banshees, the Hellhound is immune to several types of supernatural phenomenon. Electricity, including that produced by Kitsune and Chimeras with electrokinetic abilities (such as Josh Diaz), have no effect on the Hellhound, nor will Kanima venom paralyze them like it does other humans and supernatural creatures. They also are immune to Mountain Ash, due in part because their pyrokinesis can literally burn out the mystical energy that creates the barrier. Harbinger of Death Sense: Hellhounds have the limited supernatural power to sense an impending death or a death that has already happened, much like their Banshee compatriots. Weaknesses The Hellhound is implied to be reborn on Earth in the body of a human when it has a duty to fulfill, such as the Hellhound Cerberus' mission to defeat The Beast of Gevaudan and possibly protect the Nemeton.
