Evo is a term for a Caster that can control and influence someone to do, say, or feel whatever they want, like a Siren, can morph into whoever they want, and can borrow the powers of any Caster they touch. Evos are "Evolvers", who are extremely powerful Casters and a type of Dark Caster. Although they aren't as strong and powerful as a Cataclyst, they shouldn't be messed with.

Individuals
Althea Duchannes was an Evo. When she turned sixteen and was Claimed by the Dark, her mother couldn't stand to send her away and tried to keep her daughter with her, but she was eventually forced to after a girl drowned and a whole town of people got injured, it became obvious that there was no turning back.

John Breed's mother was an Evo who took on human form long enough to conceive a child with all the DNA of a Mortal and a Caster on one side and an Incubus on the other which is how John Breed is able to walk into sunlight, retain his strength without feeding and do things full-blooded Incubuses can't.

A male Evo is mentioned in Dangerous Deception to have lost Liar's Trade and Nox borrowed his powers to try to free Ridley. He wasn't that powerful and the borrowed Morphing power didn't last long.

Powers

 * Morphing: They are able to Morph, look and sound like anyone they want. They are only able to mirror human form and become Mortals for short periods of time. When they morph, they can also copy another person's clothing. When morphing into a Light or Dark Caster, they can mimic their eyes. An Evo could give birth to a Caster-Incubus Hybrid if they become a Mortal long enough to conceive a child with an Incubus or Succubus, with the DNA of a Caster and Mortal on one side, and the DNA of an Incubus on the other.
 * Voice Mimicry: They are able to inpersonate another's voice if they actually heard it before.
 * Thoughts Accessing: They are able to access the thoughts of those they morph into.
 * Memories Accessing: They are able to access the memories of those they morph into.
 * Behaviors and Mannerisms Accessing: They are able to access the behaviors and mannerisms of those they morph into.
 * Dream Accessing: They are able to access the dreams of those they morph into.
 * Mind Control: Evos are able to control and influence the minds of whoever they want, like a Siren. They are only able to control Mortals and weaker Casters, and are unable to control more or equally powerful Casters such as Sirens, Naturals and Cataclysts. Some can control multiple people at the same time, manipulate their bodies and movements without influencing their minds, or producing states of drowsiness in their victims. They can also act on the emotions of people, more easily on mortals. Depending on the Evo, they may have a "trigger" for this power, an object that is the starter of their magic and that makes people around them obey their commands.
 * Kelting: Evos, being incredibly powerful Casters, have the ability to speak non-verbally to other Casters who have the same ability.
 * Power Borrowing: Evos are able to borrow the powers of any Caster they touch. Borrowed powers are unstable by nature and the more powerful the Caster they belonged to was, the longer they last.
 * Power Absorption (occasionally): On rare occasions, Evos are able to absorb the powers of other Casters rather than simply borrowing them.
 * Possession: Evos are able to possess other people and project themselves into the bodies of others. When possessing a Light or Dark Caster, they can mimic their eyes.
 * Thoughts Accessing: They are able to access the thoughts of those they possess.
 * Memories Accessing: They are able to access the memories of those they possess.
 * Behaviors and Mannerisms Accessing: They are able to access the behaviors and mannerisms of those they possess.
 * Dream Accessing: They are able to access the dreams of those they possess.
 * Individual Powers: Some Evos possess individual powers in addition to their basic powers.

Behind the scenes

 * In the beginning of the film adaptation, Macon Ravenwood forced Ethan Wate to make himself look like an undesirable friend to Lena Duchannes. At the end, he also morphed into Ethan to sacrifice himself, so he could break the Duchannes family curse, indicating that he is an Evo in this adaptation.
