## Early Life

#### 1800s

Stefan was born the town of Mystic Falls,Virginia to Giuseppe Salvatore and Lily Salvatore on November 1, 1846. He has two older siblings,Victoria and Damon,who were very close and didn't pay him much attention till he was seven years old.At that time,Victoria was 16 and was interested in learning people's secrets,which led her to want to get rid of Damon,so she tricked them both into fighting with each other.When Victoria got sick and died,the two brothers got closer,and that became even more intense after their mother commited suicide a little later.Stefan helped Damon to get over the guilt for both deaths and find meaning to his life again.

In 1864, Katherine and Emily had come to stay at the Salvatore Estate.When Stefan had met Katherine, he had become stringly attracted to her and eventually had fallen in love with her, as did his brother Damon. However, despite Damon's feelings for Katherine, it seemed to be evident that the younger Salvatore was Katherine's preference as it was Stefan that she had asked to escort her to the Founders Ball.Stefan and Katherine were spending a passionate night together when she
suddenly bit Stefan. It was during that time when Stefan and Katherine were making love that Katherine reveiled her true identity to Stefan and that she was a vampire.He was clearly frightened of her, saying that her face resembled that of a demon and also told her to get away from him. To calm him down, Katherine compelled him to not be afraid of her. After hearing of the
town's plan to kill the vampires, Stefan went to see his father and unintentionally hinted to him that he
knew of vampires staying in Mystic Falls when he suggested that vampires might not be as bad as they are made out to be. During this conversation, his father tricked Stefan and drugged his alcholicc drink with vervain. When Katherine went to see Stefan that night and bit him so that she could feed on his blood as a form of foreplay, the vervain within Stefan's blood had poisoned and incapacitated her.Giuseppe then captured Katherine. Damon was extremely devastated and furious with Stefan, as Damon had made him promise not to tell their father about Katherine

As a result of indirectly betraying Damon, Stefan felt extreme guilt for unintentionally being responsible for Katherine's capture and promised Damon that he would do everything he could to help Damon get Katherine back. They then planned a course of action to get around the guards who were on watch for the vampires, and eventually made it to the cage where Katherine was being held captive.As they were about to set their plan in action,they both were shot by their father who was ashamed of his sons for sympathizing with and loving a vampire.The next morning, Stefan woke up,as he had died with Katherine's blood in his system.He and Damon both decided not to complete their transistion,but when Stefan visited Giuseppe that night and was accidentaly exposed to his blood he couldn't resist.Later he forced Damon into feeding as well,and Damon got furious and promised him an elternity of misery.Desperate to keep his brother in his life, Stefan begged Damon not to leave, that he promised he would do better. Damon showed no sympathy for his brother's pleas and left, saying he would not let Stefan get them both killed, and that he would leave him to do that to himself.After Damon left him,Stefan met a vampire named Lexi Branson who helped him control his bloodlust and turn his emotions back on.

#### 1912

In 1912, Stefan returned
 to Mystic Falls to attend the funeral of his half-nephew, Zachariah. It
 was there that Stefan saw Damon for the first time in almost fifty years. Damon initially had no desire to rekindle any brotherly relationship with Stefan, but Stefan convinced Damon to join him for a drink, saying he had missed him.

Later, while at a boxing ring, Damon tried to persuade a very resistant Stefan to have a drink of human blood with him again, selecting Marianna Lockwood and luring her away from the crowd. Stefan fed on her, but quickly lost control of himself and accidentally ripped her head off, astonishing both of them. Out of extreme guilt and remorse, Stefan irrationally apologized and tried to put her head back onto her body. Stefan, angry with Damon for forcing him to drink human blood, refused Damon's offer to help him learn to control it, then ran off into the woods. Damon watched him go, concerned for his brother's well-being, though not enough to pursue him. After drinking human blood in 1912, Stefan fell off the wagon and returned to his former Ripper lifestyle.

#### 1917

Klaus revealed that Stefan had become notorious for his horrific killing sprees, including the massacre of an entire migrant village in 1917, after which he became known as the "Ripper of Monterrey".

#### 1922

After Mexico, Stefan traveled to Chicago in 1922. It was there that he frequented a particular speakeasy, and one day caught the eye of a beautiful blonde, Rebekah. She initially resisted his interest, but they soon became romantically involved.

Stefan eventually met Rebekah's older half-brother, Nik. At first, Nik disliked Stefan because of his relationship with Rebekah. As time went on, however, they bonded over their similar family histories, as well as Stefan's penchant for petty cruelty toward humans, and became best friends who enjoyed each other's company immensely. The three of them frequently partied together at the speakeasy, enjoying booze, blood and dancing all night long.

On one such night of revelry, the club was attacked by what appeared to be the police. Discovering that the police were using wooden
 bullets, Stefan realized they knew there were vampires inside. He
sensed Rebekah's panic when she responded cryptically "*He's here*," but before he could find anything out, Nik compelled Stefan to forget about him and Rebekah. Unbeknownst to Stefan, Katherine was in the club
while the police were searching it; she spotted Rebekah's necklace on the floor and went to pick it up, but fled when she heard Stefan approaching. He in turn saw the necklace and picked it up, observing it carefully. A detective then approached him, showed him a sketch of Nik and Rebekah and asked if he had ever seen them before. Stefan told him what he believed to be the truth: that he had never seen those people before in his life.

In April of this year, Lexi found Stefan again, "dragged him off the train tracks" and started to help him recover his humanity and get off of human blood. According to Stefan's journal entries, it took the better part of a decade to do so; around 1935 he still felt cravings for human blood, but it was getting easier, and by the 1940's, still under Lexi's guidance, he continued to make progress with his rehabilitation.

#### 1942

Before he left for the war, Stefan, at Lexi's insistence, sought out his brother Damon in New Orleans
 in order to make amends with him. He approached his brother in a bar, and after an initial skepticism, Damon welcomed the reunion and seemed glad to have Stefan back in his life after thirty years apart. After
Stefan told Damon about his plans to join the war effort as an ambulance
 driver, Damon proposed spur-of-the-moment that he could join Stefan. Unknown to Stefan at the time, Lexi talked Damon out of leaving with Stefan, citing his profligate lifestyle and how Damon's behavior would not be good for Stefan's rehabilitation. She seemed to be proven right when, after Charlotte
 had brought a bleeding victim back to the bar, Stefan started to lose
himself at the sight and smell of human blood. Lexi's interference proved instrumental in the brothers' long estrangement, as Stefan left for the North African campaign believing Damon had abandoned him yet again.

#### 1960

Are the elections new president and a lady is walking alone through an alley, Stefan appears and attacks to her, he biting her and drinking her blood, he lets her go alive and compels her to forget everything, then a woman who seems to know everything about vampires appears and she knows who is he, she knows he is the brother of Damon Salvatore who she is looking for, Stefan asks who she is and she tells him that her name is Maggie James, Stefan advised her to stay away from Damon as he is lost by his comportment, she confesses that she is looking for Damon is only for kill him because he is a monster, so Stefan decides to attack her but only to scare her and leave the town.

#### 1994

Stefan warns Damon to stay away from them claiming that both of them are on vervain.

Damon wakes up in the shed without his daylight ring. Stefan wants to know what Damon's really doing there, and Damon says he wanted to feel a connection to his humanity again. He tries to convince Stefan to go on a road trip with him. Instead, Stefan reminds Damon of all the times he's ruined his life and how he can't seem to help doing it.

You owe me.It'll take you an eternity to pay me back."*.
