George Lockwood

George Lockwood was a werewolf who appeared in the fourth episode of the second season of The Vampire Diaries. He was the son of Benjamin Lockwood and the first known member of the family to trigger his curse.
George Lockwood is responsible for helping Katherine Pierce to escape when the Mystic Falls vampires were rounded up and taken to Fell's Church to burn in September 1864, as the two of them had made a deal: she would give him the moonstone, and in return, he would help her fake her death, as she had been on the run from Klaus and Elijah Mikaelson for centuries.
George Lockwood was a member of the Lockwood Family and the Apisi Werewolf Bloodline.
==Early History==
George Lockwood was an American soldier who fought for the Confederate Army in the Civil War in 1864. After making his first human kill in battle, George unknowingly triggered his werewolf curse, which henceforth caused him to transform into a werewolf every full moon. After Katherine Pierce learned that recent mauling of townspeople on the full moon had been mistakenly blamed on the vampires, she realized that George was the werewolf responsible and used the information to blackmail George into helping her make her escape from the town. He used the vampires as a scapegoat for the humans he himself mauled while transformed, and ended up informing the Founder's Council about the existence of vampires in Mystic Falls.
Sometime in 1864, George warned Katherine about the round-up and when it was scheduled to take place. Katherine insisted that before the church was set ablaze with the vampires inside, the body count must be officially listed as twenty-seven, the total vampire population of the town including herself. George said he would ensure that it was done, and ultimately was the person who helped her escape the church before it was set on fire. In return, Katherine gave George the moonstone she had stolen from Klaus centuries earlier.
==Personality==
He had confidence and charisma when presenting himself to other people. He does have a secretive side as he blamed the vampires on the killings he himself had committed when he transformed into a werewolf. He did have a somewhat honorable side as he helped Katherine, but this could also be him wanting her to keep his werewolf curse a secret.
==Physical Appearance==
He had a tall stature and slim build, and wore refined gentleman clothing. He had short, dark brown hair and hazel eyes.
==Powers and Abilities==
George possessed all the standard powers and abilities of a non-Evolved werewolf.
==Weaknesses==
George had the typical weaknesses of a non-Evolved werewolf.
