Mason Lockwood

Mason Lockwood was a werewolf who first appeared in the first episode of the second season of The Vampire Diaries.
He was Richard Lockwood's younger brother and Tyler's uncle. A Mystic Falls native, he was estranged from the family before and lived Florida and ran with Jules' werewolf pack. He returned to Mystic Falls the wake of Richard's death. He had a relationship with Katherine Pierce and worked for her to find and retrieve the moonstone. He was killed by Damon Salvatore who ripped his heart.
Mason was a member of the Lockwood Family and the Apisi Werewolf Bloodline.
==Early History==
Before triggering his werewolf gene, Mason Lockwood was a surfer and he lived in an apartment in Florida, where he met a girl named "Kathy". He thought Katherine really liked him, however, unknown to him, Katherine was only using him. He would eventually kill his friend Jimmy who was compelled to attack him until he was killed.
After his first transformation, he continued to document his werewolf transformations by video-tapping each full moon while keeping a journal.
==Throughout The Vampire Diaries Series==
===Season Two===
In The Return, Mason returns to town for his brother's wake and subsequent funeral, saying that he had not seen Tyler since he was about 10, meaning he's been gone from Mystic Falls for 7+ years. Mason later catches Tyler and Jeremy drinking beer and hints at Jeremy to leave. Afterwards, he drinks with his nephew.
Later, Tyler breaks one of his father's pictures. Enraged, he tries to attack his mom, but Mason comes in and stops him, knocking Tyler down onto the floor. Tyler is confused as to why he got mad so easily, and Mason tells him it was the Lockwood curse.
In Brave New World, Mason goes to the carnival and competes against Tyler and Stefan in an arm wrestling match. Mason later defends Tyler when Carter picks a fight with him, showing his powerful strength by taking down Carter with a simple slap. He jumps really high and Tyler sees his glowing eyes for a second.
In Bad Moon Rising, it's shown that he goes to some underground cell (like a tomb) and ties himself up with chains because he can't control himself when he's in wolf form, which only happens on a full moon.
In Memory Lane, Mason discovers the Salvatore brothers are Vampires after being invited to Jenna's party. When Tyler questions him about the Werewolf curse, he reveals that, in order to transform, he had to kill someone; whether it is purposely or accidentally.
In Kill or Be Killed, Mason tells Liz Forbes about the Salvatores and finally attains the Moonstone from Tyler, delivering it to his "boss" and supposed new girlfriend Katherine Pierce and had been working for her for at least the past year after meeting her in .
In Plan B, he is kidnaped by Damon with the help of Bonnie and tortures him for information about the moonstone and his plans for it. Later Damon kills Mason by ripping out his heart.
===Season Three===
In Smells Like Teen Spirit, he appears in the Salvatore home and proceeds to attack Damon with delight of being able to exact revenge for his death.
In Ghost World, Mason tortures Damon much in a way that he himself had been tortured but he lets him live. When Bonnie makes all the ghosts visible, Mason goes to Damon and Alaric, and tells them why he came back: he wants to help Tyler and for that, Klaus has to die. Mason says that, among the Lockwood family's dark secrets one of them being a way to kill an Original vampire. Mason and Damon head to the Lockwood cellar where they break into a hidden part of it. Damon still refuses to trust Mason but then Mason saves him from vervain spikes which could have killed Damon. He tells him that he doesn't care about revenge: he wants redemption and he wants to help Tyler. They arrive at a cave that Damon is unable to enter as if he needed to be invited in. Mason finds what they are looking for but before he can tell Damon, he disappears due to the ghosts having been called back. Alaric later discovers that what Mason found was drawings on the wall of the cave and names in Viking script: the names of the Original vampires.
==Personality==
Mason was described as Tyler's "cool" uncle, Mason was sexy and athletic and possessed an easygoing charm. Though he had more control than his nephew, he can "flip in an instant" if crossed. He was in love with Katherine, and would do anything for her. He would die for her. However, he doesn't seem to trust her, as he hid the moonstone at the bottom of a well with vervain. Mason did care about his nephew, Tyler, but his main purpose was always to get the moonstone. Mason was reluctant to reveal to Tyler how to activate the dormant wolf gene, possibly out of fear that he may try to activate or may not want that burden on his nephew.
==Physical Appearance==
