History[]
Early Life[]
Very little is known about Isaac's early life. From what has been revealed by Isaac, he grew up with his father, mother, and older brother Randolph. At some point, Isaac's mother died from unknown causes, followed shortly by Randolph, who enlisted in the Army after graduation and was ultimately killed in action while on deployment in Afghanistan.
Following their deaths, Mr. Reyes went from being a loving family man to an incredibly abusive single father who put a lot of pressure on Isaac, his only surviving family member, to succeed. If Isaac disobeyed him or got poor grades in school, his father would often beat him before locking him down in the basement for long periods of time, a punishment that would later cause Isaac to develop a severe case of claustrophobia (and, by extension, post-traumatic stress disorder and severe anxiety) which lead him to have panic attacks whenever he was forced into small spaces.
As a child, Isaac became close friends with Riley, with whom he bonded over their mutual love of comic books. Isaac's father was the coach of the local High School basketball team and held many parties at their house where he would allow the team members to drink and swim in their pool.
One night during one of these parties, Jackson was at the Reyes House to swap comic books with Isaac, where the two happened upon the party. One of the teammates threw young Jackson into the pool even despite his frantic protests that he didn't know how to swim, and he nearly drowned while the rest of the people at the party, who were drunk and too busy hooking up with each other, ignored him. Finally, Mr. Reyes saved his life by pulling him out of the pool and performing CPR, but the older man blamed Jackson's near-death-experience on him for not knowing how to swim before threatening him not to tell anyone what happened.
As a teenager, Isaac began working at the cemetery that his father owned, digging graves after school and at night to help out his family on top of going to school and playing on the basketball team.
Becoming a Monster[]
In February or March 2019, Isaac, desiring the power to defend himself from his abusive father, accepted Amenadiel's offer to bite him and transform him into a Primus Werewolf, making him the first to bitten by Malachai, in over two thousand years.
Personality[]
Isaac's personality throughout his time on the series has evolved quite a bit since his introduction. At first, he was shown as a timid, shy young man whose abusive father caused him to be fearful of those around him. After Amenadiel gave him the Bite, however, Isaac took advantage of his new powers and enjoyed using them to dominate others, enjoying the feeling of being powerful instead of powerless for the first time in his life.
However, throughout all of this development, certain parts of Isaac's personality have stayed the same, such as his sarcastic sense of humor and his ability to hold grudges against those who have wronged him. As a result of the abuse he sustained from his father throughout his adolescence, Isaac developed a severe case of claustrophobia due to the many hours he was punished by being locked in the basement, though he has been shown to overcome this phobia in life-or-death situations.
Physical Appearance[]
Isaac is a very tall and well-built young man who became very muscular and toned after his transformation into a Werewolf; his height in combination with his musculature made him a very intimidating presence as he often appeared to be a giant in comparison to his smaller peers. He has dark brown skin and eyes, and black hair that he keeps cut very short. His style prior to his transformation was that of a typical teenager, but after he was turned, he began dressing in a more edgy and trendy style, with designer t-shirts under leather jackets, vests, and hooded sweatshirts paired with black combat boots.
Powers and Abilities[]
Due to the nature and purpose of Malachai the one that created him, Isaac's powers and abilities are the most advanced and by far superior to any most other supernatural species with the exception of Primus Immortals in mental strength.

Etymology[]
- Isaac: Isaac is the English form of a masculine Hebrew given name, יִצְחָק (Yitzchaq), which means "He will laugh" or "He will rejoice," and which itself is derived from the Hebrew verb צָחַק (tzachaq), which means "to laugh." This name most famously mentioned in the Old Testament; it described how Abraham laughed after God informed him that his wife would become pregnant with a son, Isaac, in Genesis 17:17. In the Old Testament, Isaac was notable for having nearly been sacrificed by his father Abraham during a test of his faith by God. Fortunately, an angel stepped in at the last moment and prevented Isaac's death, allowing him to live on to be the father of Esau and Jacob.
- Variants of the name in other languages include: Sahak (Armenian); Isaak (Biblical Greek, German, Polish, Russian); Yitzhak (Biblical Hebrew); Izaäk, Sjaal, Sjakie (Dutch); Iisaaki, Iikka, Iiro (Finnish); Izsák (Hungarian); Isak (Swedish).
