**Henrik Mikaelson** *(**Elder Futhark:** ᚺᛖᚾᚱᛁᚲ ᛗᛁᚲᚨᛖᛚᛋᛟᚾ)* was born in 985 A.D. He died when Klaus brought him to see the werewolves transform, but one of the werewolves lost control and mauled him to death. His death is what drove Mikael and Esther to protect their children by turning them into the Original vampires.

Henrik is the youngest child of Mikael and Esther. Henrik is the younger brother of Freya, Finn, Elijah, Kol, and Rebekah and the younger half-brother of Klaus. He is also the uncle of Freya and Mathias' unborn son; Klaus and Hayley's twin daughters, Hope and Faith; Kol and Vivian's twins, Jesus and Valentina; Klaus and Vivian's daughter, Lillian; and Freya and Keelin's son, Nik.

Henrik was brought back at the end of the first season of *The Originals*; when Esther brought back herself, Finn, and Kol in the bodies of New Orleans witches.

**Henrik** is a member of the **Mikaelson Family** and an **Unnamed Witch Family**. He is also a member of the **Claire Family** through his marriage to Davina.

## Early History

Rebekah mentioned that Henrik was the youngest brother, which means he is the youngest member of the Mikaelson family.

One night on a full moon, despite warnings from their parents, he and Klaus went out to see the werewolves transform, but he was brutally attacked and killed by one. This event caused Mikael to ask his wife Esther to transform their children into the first vampires; never wanting to lose another child again.

## Throughout The Vampire Diaries

### Season Three

According to his sister, Rebekah, Henrik died as a human. Klaus felt like it was his fault for Henrik's death, as he was the one who brought Henrik to see the werewolves turn.

## Throughout The Originals

### Season One

In *Always and Forever*, Elijah tells Hayley that what drove Esther to turn his family into vampires was Henrik's death, and that was how the Mikaelsons were labeled as, “The Originals.”

### Season Two

In *Every Mother's Son*, it was revealed that it was actually the tribe of Klaus' father that killed Henrik.

In *Red Door*, it was revealed by Mikael that one of the main reasons he has been hunting Klaus down for centuries was because he blames Klaus for Henrik's death.

## Powers and Abilities

Since being put into the body of Henry, he takes all of his witchcraft powers and abilities as his own. Esther intentionally put Henrik into a weaker witch's body to keep him from doing something he'll regret later on. In his own body he was quite powerful as a young Mikaelson witch.

Henrik has been shown to know how to use and control Sebastian's magic, although it is possible that this is influenced by Henrik's amassed knowledge of magic. He is first shown to use his powers to prank people in *Alive and Kicking*, telekinetically making a table of apples fall and using aerokinesis powers to blow a woman's dress up.

While in Sebastian's body he was able to perform spells but was shown to be far weaker than Finn while he inhabited Vincent Griffith. Henrik tended to try and channel power through others such as Davina Claire and the paragon diamond. While channeling the power from the paragon diamond, his power was briefly amplified enough to be able to keep Klaus at bay for a few moments, though causing a great deal of stress to Sebastian's body.

## Weaknesses

Henrik has the typical weakness of a witch/human.

## Relationships

### Davina Claire

*Main Article: Henrik and Davina*

Davina is Henrik's close find, partner in crime, and wife. They first met in *Rebirth* and the pair grew close. Original Davina had been completely ignorant of Sebastian's real identity, but she eventually discovers the truth in *Red Door*, and despite being rightfully furious, the pair establish an alliance founded on the mutual goal of Niklaus' destruction. From there, Henrik and Davina worked together attempting to fashion a dagger that would work on Klaus and during this time, their relationship, having been fed by Henrik's tendency to flirt, their mutual love of magic and palpable chemistry, blossomed. Their relationship strengthened through the season and the pair shared their first kiss in the mid-series finale. While on a quest to rescue Josh and Marcel, Henrik was hexed by his brother Finn, and after successfully creating a dagger to work on Klaus, which he gave to Davina for her own protection against Klaus, his condition quickly worsens. Despite Rebekah and Davina's attempts to save Henrik, he dies with his family, Elijah, Klaus, Rebekah, and his girlfriend Davina by his side, leaving them all devastated, especially Davina. Since his death, Davina has been working restlessly to try and bring him back to life. In *Night Has A Thousand Eyes*, she makes a deal with Klaus, exchanging her help with Mikael and Klaus to kill Dahlia for the ashes of Henrik's original body, so that she'll be able to use them to bring him back. When his siblings hijack the spell to bring back their mother Esther, as they needed her to kill Dahlia, Henrik remained dead. After many failed attempts, Davina was finally able to bring Henrik back to life in *A Streetcar Named Desire*, after the spell Davina used to unlink Klaus from his sireline created a Nexus Vorti, which she could channel for power such as when she resurrected Mikael when Hope, Faith, Jesus, and Valentina's birth created one, and the two of them were thrilled to be reunited. They consummated their relationship in *An Old Friend Calls*. Davina tragically dies, leaving Henrik devastated. However, the Hollow resurrects Davina to try and use her as leverage against Henrik. After defeating the Hollow, Davina and Henrik move away from New Orleans and Henrik intended to propose to her. As of the premiere of the fifth season of *The Originals*, Henrik and Davina are husband and wife.
