==Throughout The Originals Series==
===Season Four===
In Gather Up the Killers, Alistair arrives in New Orleans to see Klaus and find Hayley as he believes she is the key in finding the other Mikaelsons. At Marcel's Penthouse, he is given a 70-year-old Scotch to appease him by Marcel, and demands to see Klaus suffering as he made him suffer many years ago. He asks for Klaus' blood as a way to test a theory he has about Klaus' family being linked to their brother and so they could be free of them. When Marcel denies him, he threatens him about going into the city with his followers with a sour mood, and Marcel tells him to be at the Abattoir at midnight. As Alistair leaves the penthouse, he receives a message reading that they found Keelin and Hayley, to which he replies back to kill them both. 
He then arrives at the Abattoir with his followers and many other vampires to see Klaus. He then sees Klaus and mocks him on how the mighty have fallen. Marcel offers the sword he was given laced with his venom to give Klaus a slow, agonizing death, with Alistair accepting it. He begins kicking and punching Klaus, asking him if he has suffered as he made his family suffered. When the crowd yells out to kill him, Alistair tells him he wants the last words he hears to be his solemn vow of finding Hope and eradicating his bloodline. Although weakened, Klaus retaliates by grabbing Alistair and biting him in the neck, injecting his venom and thereby killing him.
