Eichen House

Eichen House is a mental health facility within the fictional world of MTV's Teen Wolf.

Military Hospital
During World War II, Eichen House was used as a military hospital. In addition to military personnel, Eichen was used to treat prisoners from the nearby Oak Creek Internment Camp.

During an outbreak of bacterial pneumonia, a number of prisoners died because one of the doctors was stealing and selling the M&B Sulphapyridine needed to treat the disease. This led to a riot and the release of a Nogitsune. None of the Eichen House patients or staff survived the ensuing slaughter. (Read More...)

Mental Health Facility
As a mental health facility, Eichen House appears to treat a full range of illnesses. It gained the nickname "Echo House" among its patients due to the way sound and events seem to echo there. (Read More...)

Supernatural Lockup
One floor at Eichen House is used by Dr. Conrad Fenris as a prison ward for supernatural creatures.

Several different types of shapeshifters are incarcerated there. (Read More...)

The ward has Mountain Ash framed cells to keep supernatural creatures in. (Smoke & Mirrors)

Aside from the mountain ash, it also has electromagnetic fields, ley lines, from the telluric currents that keep beings such as the Dread Doctors out of the facility. (A Novel Approach)

Dr. Gabriel Valack was once Chief Medical Officer at Eichen and performed trepanation surgeries on creatures in the special ward. His theory was that the surgery would enhance their abilities. It worked but also resulted in their deaths. After regaining control of the hospital, he used the same surgery to amplify Lydia Martin's abilities until one of her screams shattered his skull. (Amplification)

L. Brunski
Brunski was the former chief orderly who secretly killed several patients as an act of mercy; including Lydia Martin's grandmother. His sadistic demeanor kept the inmates in line. He also helped fellow patient Meredith Walker carry out the Benefactor plan through blackmail until he was discovered by Lydia and Stiles and, later, killed by Deputy Parrish.

Marin Morrell
A former Druid Emissary to Deucalion, Morrell led group sessions at Eichen House. She helps Stiles attempt to control the Nogitsune possessing him. She later tells Malia where to find Scott McCall.

Conrad Fenris
Dr. Fenris works in the supernatural lock up portion of the institution. He specializes in supernatural creatures; particularly werewolves. He is fully aware of the inmates abilities and makes sure every precaution is taken seriously, especially with Dr. Valack. When Valack took over the hospital, he was "taken away" according to a patient.

Schrader
Schrader is an orderly at Eichen House who becomes in league with Valack after the doctor escapes. She also has a creepy crush on Lydia and, at one point, takes enjoyment in poking her arm with a hypothermic needle until a powerful scream throws him against a wall. It is unknown what happened to him after Theo's pack break into Eichen House.

Nurse Cross
Nurse Cross is stern and cruel nurse also working with Valack. She claims Lydia fakes her vegetative state and does not hold back her cruel remarks towards her. When Theo's pack breaks into Eichen House, she and Valck enter a old lab below the hospital. When Valack places a Dread Doctor helmet on her, it kills her and her body is stashed in a plexiglas cell as in Lie Ability.
