> **Damon** to **Stefan**, in *Pilot*

**Damon Salvatore** is one of the three main male protagonists of *The Vampire Diaries*. He was a major antagonist in the first part of Season One. He was born during the 1800s and lived in the colonial town of Mystic Falls with his brother Stefan, his father, Giuseppe Salvatore, and also with his mother Lillian Salvatore until her death in 1858. He became a vampire in 1864. At the time of his return to Mystic Falls, Damon and Stefan hadn't seen each other in fifteen years due to their bitter and violent relationship.

Damon's sole purpose in coming back to Mystic Falls was to free his sire Katherine Pierce from a tomb she was never in. Damon deeply loved her after 145 years. After realizing that Katherine never loved him, his love for her fades as his friendship and love for Elena, Katherine's descendant and doppelgänger (elena), grows. Due to her impact on him and the strengthening relationship with his brother, they begin working together to protect Elena, along with her friends and family.

Throughout the series, his bond with Elena continuously grows and they eventually fall in love with each other. Shortly after her death and subsequent transition into a vampire, Elena's feelings for Damon are heightened which makes her admit her love for him and they start a romantic relationship in Season Four. This leads to them getting married in the future and, after taking the cure for vampirism, having two kids: Stefanie and Grayson.

His best friends are Elena Gilbert, Alaric Saltzman and Bonnie Bennett. He was close friends with Elizabeth Forbes until her death (due to an illness). His friendship with his sister-in-law, Christine Meade, has improved during the last season and they now consider themselves as close friends.

**Damon** is a member of the **Salvatore Family** and was a member of the **Town Council**. Until he was caught.
