KLAUS
THE ORIGINAL HYBRID
"I am immortal. I am the hybrid. I can't be killed!"
THE LEGACY
A thousand years ago, they were human. A family trying to survive in a world of werewolves and witches. Now they are something else entirely — the first vampires, the Originals.
The Beginning
In the 10th century, Mikael and Esther fled from Eastern Europe with their children to escape the plague. They settled in what would become known as Mystic Falls, where they encountered werewolves.
After losing their youngest son Henrik to a werewolf attack, Esther used dark magic to turn her remaining children into immortal beings — faster, stronger, and more powerful than any human. But every spell has consequences.
