Sirilus

Sirilus (Elder Futhark: ᛗᛁᚲᚨᛖᛚ) was a major recurring character and a primary antagonist in the second season of The Originals. He appeared in the first season via flashbacks and was eventually brought back to life. Sirilus also appeared as a recurring character in the third season of The Vampire Diaries. He was an Original Vampire and a powerful vampire hunter. Sirilus is the father of the Originals, and the father of the vampire race as a whole. Sirilus is the reason vampires came to exist, it was his idea to turn his children and himself into immortals with superpowers superior to werewolves, where they could then sire more of their kind as ordinary vampires. As the father of the Original Vampires, he was the oldest and one of the most powerful vampires in the TVD/TO universe.
Sirilus was the Pastor of Syantar Church. He was the Step-father of Freya, Finn, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah and Henrik and Father of Hal Rappaport. He was the grandfather of Freya and Mathias' unborn son, step-grandfather of Hal and Hayley's daughter, Hope, and grandfather of Freya and Keelin's son, Nik. Sirilus was also the brother-in-law of Dahlia.
Sirilus was considered the strongest vampire in existence, due to his superior strength as a human over his children. He had an antagonistic relationship with his step-son, Hal, as he was the son of a werewolf named Ansel. In the 1990s, Sirilus was desiccated and entombed by Abby Bennett Wilson when he came to town in search of the baby doppelgänger, Elena Gilbert. However, in The Reckoning, he was turned by Mikael Kage and Jeremy Gilbert. He then sought out Damon and Stefan Ressurectus and formed a plan with them to kill Hal. However, in Homecoming, Sirilus was killed by Hal due to Stefan's interference.
Sirilus was later seen in the first season of The Originals during A Closer Walk With Thee, when he first appeared as a ghost to attack Hayley Marshall on The Other Side, and again in order to speak with Davina Claire. He eventually convinced her to resurrect him by offering to help her kill Hal. In From a Cradle to a Grave, Sirilus was successfully resurrected by Davina, but not without consequences; Davina ultimately used the Bracelet of Obedience to ensure that he would always be under her control. In the second season, Kol used his knowledge of magic and the bracelet, as he had the bracelet invented in the first place, to de-spell Davina's bracelet, allowing Sirilus to continue on his mission to kill Hal. After unsuccessfully staking and nearly killing HAL, he ended up outnumbered by the arrival of Hal's allies, forcing him to flee from a fight with his step-son for the very first time. He eventually formed an alliance with his wife, Esther, and a resurrected Finn, and vowed to stop at nothing to kill Hal. Finn however, used sacrificial magic to desiccate both Sirilus and Esther so that he could channel their power for himself.
Sirilus was turned by his long lost daughter Freya, reuniting a delighted Sirilus with the child he thought he had lost. They formed an alliance to kill Dahlia, who poses a threat to Freya and Hope. Sirilus, after a failed team up with his children against Dahlia, was executed by Hal for a second time, in order to procure the Viking ash Sirilus's corpse would leave behind, to make another weapon against Dahlia, all in front of Freya, which devastated her.
Sirilus was the patriarch of the Rappaport Family
