Eli is the only living Lockwood left. The only son of Tyler Lockwood and a werewolf mother.
He's also the first natural born werewolf/vampire hybrid.
When Alaric and Caroline found him, they take him to a school where he meets Hope Mikaelson. The o...

Eli got dressed into his white t-shirt, cargo pants and motorcycle boots. Along with the jacket and two helmets. If they find Landon, they'll bring him back to the school because at this point, Eli doesn't care if he's human. Or something else they can't quite figure out. But Alaric and Dorian are human. Not supernatural.
Just as they were going to leave, Eli and Hope see Alaric. And he sees them. "You two going somewhere? Better questions, where the hell do you think you two are going and without telling me?"
Eli glanced at Hope. He knows about the fight she had with Ric and will admit what she said was harsh.
"Um, you know, I just said some really harsh things to you yesterday-"
"Which she will apologize, right?" Eli gave her a look.
"That and I just wanted to get you an oil change as a peace offering." Hope knows that's a terrible lie and Eli knows it.
"Please, Hope, if you're gonna lie, puts some effort into it. For me at least. I mean, it's 3:00am in the morning and even I don't change the oil of my motorcycle at that hour." Eli looks between the two. "Look, I can understand that you two are not on good terms, and yes Hope will apologize for what she said to you, and I can understand why skipping exams is not okay, but apparently Landon is in trouble."
"And what makes you think he is?" Alaric asked.
"If this thing is glowing, that means that he's in trouble." Hope said, a bit worried. Because he's pretty much Rafael's brother.
"Then we're going, and I'm driving."

So Eli decided to explain what Alaric and Hope on what his mom told him before she disappeared. But during the whole ride here, he was still thinking about what his mom showed him. It's crazy that his mom is a different toe of werewolf. He read that Inadu/The Hollow created the werewolves. The ones that turn into actual wolves. Not the humanoid ones that his mom turned into.
So to him, that means there's a subspecies of werewolves. The only question is how powerful are they and what makes them so unique from other werewolves?
Hope noticed how quiet it was in the van. She looks in the back and sees Eli playing with his necklace. "So what did your mom wanted to tell you?"
"Well I have more family living in Italy. Her family, not my dad's. And that apparently they're a different type of shapeshifters." Eli answered. This had Alaric and Hope wondering on what Eli meant when he said different types of shapeshifters. "And let's just say my mom turned into one and it was sort of like this."

Eli shows Hope a picture and frowns. "Are you sure this is what your mom looked like when she..."
"Trust me Hope, I wouldn't have believed it had she not transformed in front of me." Eli answered. "And my uncles... haven't met them yet, but one of them was the one that gave me the motorbike and clothes."
"Is there a way for you to get in contact with them? Because if they're not fans of vampires..."
"Caroline wouldn't be safe. Before we left, I had Derek send a message to the twins to inform them to stay away from Italy." Eli was already a step ahead on that. It's one of the issues he's acknowledged within the supernatural communities. Bigotry and blood purity is a thing among the supernatural communities. Some at least as for as he knows. And after what Hope told him about The Nightwalkers (a racial vampire group), he's hoping the school could try at the very least end this feud. Though he'll admit he hated vampires in general at first. But when he met Caroline and MG, as well as remembered Stefan and Enzo, he realized he only hated ones like Damon.
Even the mere mention of his thoughts are enough for him to wish he can revisit that moment and kill him already. But he chooses not to. Apart of him admits that he thought he had it in him. That since he killed werewolf hunters, same ones that murdered his Aunt, why should a former vampire be any different? The man that's tried to kill his father a few times until he finally succeeded.
He puts the thought in the back of his head and Alaric starts singing. But then asked Hope. "Indiana. Crossroads of America. What's the capital?"
"We learned that in, like, eighth grade." She really didn't answer that question, something Eli noticed.
"Oh, good, then you should know it." Alaric said while driving.
"I didn't say I absorbed the information."
"Yeah, well, you're not saying much of anything."
Eli sighs and answers. "Indianapolis." The two looked at Eli. "What? Did you guys think I was just your typical jock that didn't pay attention in class?"
Alaric hid his smirk. "Glad someone is." He then looks at Hope, who's slightly annoyed that Eli is getting praised, even though she already knew the answer. Though she's glad that he's not your typical jock. "Look, if you can't handle grade school geography... you're gonna flunk all your exams."
"Are Lizzie and Josie studying?" Hope retorts with a question before continuing. "Maybe you should focus on them."
"Yeah, well, they're still in Europe with Caroline, thank God." Alaric sounded relief.
"Religion has no place in the classroom, Dr. Saltzman. The Supreme Court made sure of that with its ruling on Engel v. Vitale. And Indianapolis is the capital of Indiana. I'm getting an "A" in geography. Chill. And no, Eli didn't give away that answer." Hope added. She then looks at her compass and it's turning left. "Take the next left. He's on the move."
"All right. Indiana is surrounded by what four states?"
Eli responded. "Surrounding states are Michigan to the north and northeast, Illinois to the west, Kentucky to the south, and Ohio to the east."
"I thought we just established that I am dominating geography." Hope eyes the both them.
"Fine." Alaric sighed, giving up.
Eli chuckled at her. "parleremo presto di quel bacio. (we're gonna talk about that kiss soon)."
While Hope kinda finds Eli speaking Italian hot, she goes onto say. "You might wanna say whatever you just said in English, Mr. Lockwood."
"Oh, it's Mr. Lockwood, huh, Miss Mikaelson. And I don't think you want me to say what this. But I'll give you hint. We dropped Landon at that bus stop and we had a talk that lead to..."
"Fine. Fine."
Hope doesn't want to talk about that kiss in front of Ric. It is between Eli and herself. Though she wonder if her feelings for him are real.
