Biographical Information
- Mason Greybeck is a purebred werewolf. As shown in the episode Alex Charms a Boy, his first appearance, he is a wonderful artist. Alex Russo, a teen wizard attending Tribeca Prep as well, met him in art class and complimented him on his art. They found themselves falling in love. Alex, disappointed that he only painted dogs in American history, put a spell on him with a magic conch shell, making him obsessed with painting her. She then ended the spell, and he kissed her for the first time as rain washed his mural of Alex away. In the episode Wizards vs. Werewolves, Alex and Mason fell more and more in love, and they continued to hide their true race from the other, When Alex became upset that Mason always left early from their dates, she suspected that he was cheating on her and hatched a scheme with her best friend, Harper Finkle, to follow him. They ran into him, and despite his please that they leave, they stayed to see him transform into a werewolf. Alex then revealed that she was a wizard, although Harper tried to convince Mason that she was just desperate. Alex, seeing how upset her brother Justin was about losing his girlfriend, Juliet Van Heusen, to an evil mummy, convinced Mason to go looking for her with his dog-like smelling ability because Alex wanted Justin to be as happy as Mason and her were. They travelled to Translyvania, where the evil mummy was defeated by Alex and Justin's younger brother Max. When Mason discovered the vampire he was hunting down was his ex-girlfriend, he impulsively told Juliet he still loved her. Alex took a magical necklace that glowed when the wearer was in love with the person who gave it to them and threw it away, confirming their breakup. Juliet then told Mason what they had was great, but Justin was her soulmate. Mason then convinced Alex to go back to Translyvania with him to prove he loved her with the necklace. Justin, Juliet, and Max went after them. When Justin tried to get Mason away from Alex, convinced that he was going to hurt her, Mason tried to fight with him. Juliet defended Justin and fought back. Mason was moments away from injuring Justin with a mortal wound when Juliet jumped onto Mason's back and bit him in the shoulder. He yelped in pain and smacked her with his paw, scratching her with his long and mighty claws. Juliet and Mason then confessed the truth to Alex and Justin that Vampires would lose their immortality if they were scratched by a werewolf, and werewolves would transform into a wolf forever if bitten by a vampire. Juliet's age became 2,193 years old, causing her to break up with Justin, despite how much they loved each other, and travel into the woods where she assumed would be her deathbed. Mason proved to Alex he loved her and became a wolf forever. Mason then returns in "Alex Saves Mason" where it is revealed that Mason was found by country wizards, who were checking traps in the woods, as a full wolf. Alex then sees him in a commercial and goes to save him. Alex and Mason then reunite. Mason is also going to show up in Wizards Exposed to help Alex and the gang to clear there name so people wont know there secret through out the world. Mason will return in the 4th season as a recurring charatcer. In the first episode of season four Mason and Alex are still shown to be dating and tries to help Alex free the wizards in whatever way he can. In front of the press he mentions he is a werewolf but is not taken seriously.
Trivia
- Mason's last name, "Greybeck", is pronounced 'gray back'; which may refer to Fenrir Greyback, the werewolf in Harry Potter.
- Mason is purebred, and only spreads his lycanthroapy by biting unlike justins ex girlfriend who was a mutt and could spread it via kiss
- Mason and Juliet used to go out about 300 year ago, and Juliet is 2194 years old, which could call into question if Mason is the same age (though they could be different as they're different species and could develop at different paces. )
- Mason has explained that werewolves are impulsive (proved by his response to Juliet's return).
- Mason's transformation is interesting as when he transforms to a werewolf he gets a brown fur coat (matching his hair), but when bitten by Juliet and reverted to a wolf, his fur becomes white.
- Jerry Russo kept getting Mason's name wrong, always either Martin or Jason, but when corrected claims that he said Mason
- Max has seemed to like Mason throughout the drama he and Alex went through, making Max the only Russo who was on good terms with him during the incident.
- His artisticness is played down.
- Werewolves can't age which seems contradictive because Mason is a teenager, and must have developed by aging in a sense.

- It is ironic, when Justin lost Juliet, Alex gained Mason, when Justin got Juliet, Alex lost Mason.( Justin also loses Juliet later as she returns to her real age, and Alex gains Mason again after playing the magical instruments in Alex saves Mason )
- Mason's was planned ahead of time, as future Harper asks Alex about him before his appearance (but she said did Mason break up with you already. However this could refer to the break up that occured after he became a permenant wolf and it is a possibility that he and Alex will remain together).
- It is revealed in the episode Wizards Unleashed (Alex and Mason puppy love), that Mason is still in love with Alex and Alex is still in love with Mason.
- Gregg Sulkin (who plays Mason) is going to be in the second movie of Wizards of Waverly Place as Mason Graybeck.
