Guerrera Family

The Guerrera Family are an organized crime family of werewolves that has resided within New Orleans at least since the era of Prohibition. The Guerrera family was first introduced in Dance Back from the Grave. In a flashback, two male members of the Guerrera family had a business meeting with Klaus and Elijah in New Orleans. Though a specific date was not given, it can be assumed by the illegal deal the men were all striking that the meeting was held during the era of Prohibition.

Klaus called out the two members of the Guerrera family by referring to their crime family as a “brutish pack of thieves and killers,” and further stated, “that’s nothing compared to what [they] turn into on a full moon." Elijah attempted to defuse the situation, by first explaining to the two men that their werewolf bite would not kill an Original vampire, and by then reminding them that a war between the werewolves and Original Vampires would not be financially profitable. Elijah proposed the following deal to the representatives of the Guerrera family: since Prohibition was soon going to become effective in the state of Louisiana, he and Klaus feared that the increased federal presence at the docks, which the Mikaelsons controlled, would result in their exposure to their father; to remedy this, Elijah and Klaus offered to allow the Guerreras to smuggle alcohol into the city through the ports, under the condition that the Guerreras publicly acted as the ones in charge of the port (though the Mikaelsons would secrely still be in control).

This deal was interrupted by Papa Tunde, who had a deal of his own that he wanted to make. Marcel, who recounted this story to Cami in the present day, later mentioned to Cami that Papa Tunde killed many members of the Guerrera pack when they refused to comply with his rule. It was shown in a flashback that Papa Tunde put the heads of the Guerrera wolves he killed on spikes.

In 1925, the Guerrera Family engaged in a heated war with Marcel Gerard and his vampires. According to Marcel, the Guerreras were tough fighters, much tougher than the Crescents. Marcel killed the majority of the Guerrera wolves, and went on to believe that he had wiped out their entire bloodline, not knowing that baby Gabriel Guerrera had survived and was given the new name Gabriel Correa.

In The Battle of New Orleans, Cami finds a hidden room in Kieran's apartment which is full of files and Francesca- triggers wolf-genehistorical/magical artifacts regarding the supernatural presence in New Orleans. In a box labelled with her name, Cami finds a multitude of newspaper articles and files, which revealed that there are still living descendants of the Guerrera Family, who had been living as untriggered werewolves for decades. One of them is revealed to be Francesca Correa, who, along with her many brothers, are descendents of Gabriel (Guerrera) Correa. Francesca and her brothers, who had been living their lives as untriggered werewolves until that point, each waited until they possessed an enchanted moonlight stone before they each killed one of their bodyguards and triggered their werewolf genes.

Since gaining the moonlight stones, Francesca and her brothers, along with their Crescent wolf ally, Oliver, have leveraged their new physical power into more political power over the city, and have presumably gained control over the supernatural factions of the French Quarter.

In Rebirth every last Guerrera Werewolf is killed. Elijah enters the Guerrera house hold and kills Antonio, Benito, Carlos, and Domonique Guerrera. Then Hayley later kills Francesca Guerrera.

Facts

They are the first group of werewolves shown to be involved in organized crime.

Many of them were slaughtered by Papa Tunde in 1919, and were later pushed out of New Orleans by Marcel. In 1925, Marcel ultimately wiped out all but one of the remaining Guerreras.

Francesca Correa and her brothers are descendants of the Guerrera family, specifically Gabriel Guerrera Correa.

The modern-day Guerreras triggered their werewolf genes in The Battle of New Orleans, and kept their identities as werewolves a secret until the time came when it was no longer necessary. Before that point, they claimed to be humans and maintained their cover by being heavily involved in the human Faction.

They were some of the werewolves in possession of the moonlight rings.

All the triggered Guerrera werewolves are dead.
