Crescent Wolf Pack

“	Are you that delusional, Klaus? You cursed all of us! Every wolf that I fought for, everyone that stood up for our daughter. You took all of them away from their families!	”
	— Hayley to Klaus about the wolves in You Hung the Moon

The Crescent Wolf Pack, also referred to as the Crescent Wolf Clan, is a pack of Evolved werewolves native to New Orleans and its surrounding area, the Bayou. The Crescent Pack is comprised of several werewolf bloodlines. The most notable, the Kenner Family and Labonair Family, are considered werewolf royalty.

As of Fire with Fire, the pack was, once again, punished by Niklaus Mikaelson and Dahlia via the Crescent Curse, however, the curse was lifted in The Axeman's Letter by Davina Claire.

History

In Voodoo in My Blood, Davina reveals that in 500 A.D., that the origins of the Crescent Wolf Pack, as well as the werewolf species, was the result of the Werewolf Curse, cast by a powerful witch on her Native American tribe of witches that attempted to kill her.

Conflict between Werewolves and Vampires resulted in Marcel placing a curse on the clan. The Crescent Curse results in members being human only during the Full Moon. They remain in wolf form for the remainder of the month. Internal clan fighting weakened the pack and allowed vampires to get the upper hand. Jackson believes if the clan was united they would have defeated the vampires. The ruling families planned to reunite the clan by arranging the marriage of their children Jackson and Hayley.
