Colin Woodell played a werewolf named Aiden in The Originals

Colin Woodell is well-known for his appearance as Aiden in The Originals. His character was a werewolf, who was the leader of a pack, which also included Esther and Finn Mikaelson.

He later joined Marcel Gerard and the other vampires by collaborating with Hayley Marshall and Jackson Kenner. He then got romantically involved with Joshua Rosza. However, Aiden was killed by Dahlia towards the end of season 2 while trying to frame Niklaus Mikaelson and cause problems for the Mikaelson family.

The character was only 17 years old when he realized that he was gay. He used to report to Jackson and cared a lot about those who were close to him. He betrayed the witches once and never had any hard feelings towards the vampires, although they were different.

Aiden soon began spying on Jackson for Klaus so that he could become the alpha. This was because Aiden did not think Jackson would be the perfect leader for the pack. While Aiden had the powers that were usually possessed by a werewolf, he later developed the abilities of the evolved werewolf.
