Vernon Boyd

Intro Before his death, Boyd possessed the standard powers of a Beta Werewolf, including superhuman strength, speed, agility/reflexes, durability, senses, accelerated healing, pain absorption, and the ability to shapeshift into a humanoid being with wolfish features, including glowing gold eyes, fangs, claws, a ridged brow, and mutton chops. Boyd was known for being a large and powerful Werewolf, which was how he became Derek Hale's second-in-command in the brief amount of time he was able to actually participate in the Hale Pack. He was also one to hold grudges, as he never let go of his desire to kill the Alpha Pack members for their role in Erica's death, and was perfectly willing to get hurt or die in order to get his revenge on them. After losing Erica, Boyd became more aggressive and prone to violence, as best shown in Frayed, when he nearly started a fight with Ethan in a bus full of his human peers and refused to care about the consequences, only to be restrained and dissuaded from the idea by Isaac and Scott. In addition to these traits, Boyd also demonstrated that he was an extremely intelligent young man, as it was his idea to flood Derek's loft with water and put a live wire in it in order to shock Kali and the other Alphas when they entered the apartment; though the Alpha Pack anticipated this attack and disabled it, it was a plan that would have considerably weakened the Alphas had the attack gone as originally envisioned.
