Damon Salvatore

Damon Salvatore (b. October 30, 1469Damon: She [Elena] thought he was two and a half years older than she was. (Evensong: Paradise Lost)Stefan: They had it all wrong. The wrong age for Damon, who had been just-turned-twenty-one for five hundred years. (Evensong: Paradise Lost)) was the eldest son of Conte and Contessa di Salvatore and the older brother of Stefan. He and his brother were fed vampire blood by Katarina von Swartzschild and, after Katarina staged her death, both became vampires after they killed each other.
In 1991, Damon and Stefan, who developed a hatred of each other over who was to blame for Katarina's apparent death, were led to Fell's Church, Virginia by the very vampire they believed was dead. There, they met Elena Gilbert, who had a strong resemblance to her. Both fell in love with her, which resulted in Katarina unsuccessfully attempting to kill all three of them, though Elena managed to kill her. Shortly after, Damon helped in the fight against Klaus, and later against Shinichi and Misao.
==Biography==
===Childhood===
He was still Damon, and he'd be a lot happier without the weight of all that hatred and prejudice and cruelty. He wouldn't keep remembering his youth and the other young blades who'd mocked his father for being an old fool, with his disastrous investments and his mistresses younger than his own sons. Neither would he endlessly dwell on his own childhood, when that same father had beaten him in drunken rages when he neglected his studies or took up with objectionable companions. And, finally, he would not go on savoring and contemplating the many terrible things he'd done himself." (The Return: Nightfall - Chapter 34)
