**Enhanced Original Vampire** is a term used to describe the type of Original vampire Mikael became when Esther recast the Immortality Spell to turn him. She made changes such as binding Mikael's life to a doppelgänger, whereas the other Originals' immortality was granted by the white oak tree. This meant that he could not be killed at all, as long as the doppelgänger lived, thus meaning even the white oak stake or the white oak ash daggers have no effect on him, as it will not even neutralize him. The only way he could die is if someone killed the doppelgänger, which is why he had to guard the doppelgänger life.

## ***Powers and Abilities***

* **Super Strength:** The Enhanced Original vampire was much stronger than other human and supernatural beings even possessing enough strength to overpower Original vampires, and even the Original Hybrid.
* **Super Speed:** The Enhanced Original vampire was much faster than other human and supernatural beings. Alaric was slightly faster than Original vampires, and was of similar speed to the Original hybrid.
* **Super Agility:** The Enhanced Original vampire possesses more superhuman agility, flexibility, and dexterity than humans and other supernatural beings. They can move, jump, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion.
* **Super Senses:** The Enhanced Original vampire has extremely keen senses of hearing, sight, and smell, even greater than vampires and Original vampires.
* **Super Durability:** The Enhanced Original vampire can take far more trauma than humans and other supernatural beings without much discomfort or injury. Alaric could heal faster than normal vampires when exposed to vervain and sunlight.
* **Semi-Immortality:** The Enhanced Original vampire will not physically age and is immune to all illnesses, toxins, poisons, and diseases.
* **Healing Factor:** The injuries of the Enhanced Original vampire healed faster than other human and supernatural beings. Human blood has also known to make the healing process faster.
* **Emotional Control:** The Enhanced Original vampire can control and manipulate the emotions of one's self. Alaric was completely devoid of humanity while as an Enhanced Original vampire, completely driven by "The Darkness", his split personality that hated all vampires and even humans who protected or ignored their presence.
* **Enhanced Emotions:** The Enhanced Original vampire experienced emotions more powerfully than humans. Emotions like love, joy, and happiness are intensified for vampires allowing them to live life more intensely.
* **Mind Compulsion:** The Enhanced Original vampire can compel the minds of humans, non-Original vampires, and non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrids.
	+ **Dream Manipulation:** The Enhanced Original vampire could control dreams and subconscious. The vampires can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares or lucid dreaming. Other effects of this ability is the distortion of reality and trapped in the dreams.
	+ **Illusions:** The Enhanced Original vampire had the power to trick the minds of others into seeing or feeling things that aren't actually happening.

* **True Face:** An Enhanced Original vampire's true face is the appearance they are hiding under their normal human face. When revealed, the sclera of their eyes turns blood-red, dark veins appear under their eyes as the blood pumps forcefully through them, and their canine teeth extend into razor-sharp fangs.

## Weaknesses

* **Animal Blood:** Animal blood weakens an Enhanced Original vampire's strength.
* **Broken Neck:** Breaking an Enhanced Original vampire's neck will not kill them, but it will render them unconscious for several hours.
* **Desiccation:** Being completely drained of blood or the heart stopping will cause an Enhanced Original vampire to desiccate like any other vampire or Original, losing most of their strength and any ability to move. This process can be replicated artificially by a witch casting a desiccation spell.
* **Invitation:** In order to enter any house owned by humans, they had to be invited by that person. Once invited the vampire cannot be uninvited, only if ownership of the house is changed can they be removed until re-invited. If a vampire lives in a house, other vampires can enter freely and if a vampire is in the house without being invited in it will become disoriented and will begin to suffocate.
* **Link to doppelgänger :** If the doppelgänger dies, then so shall the Enhanced Original vampire that is bound to her.
* **Magic:** Enhanced Original vampires are susceptible to the powers of witchcraft. A witch with enough magical power at their disposal could harm or even kill it. Magic can also be used to trap an Original through boundary spells, and magic can also be used to desiccate an Original. This is inclusive of mystical and dark objects. Likewise, it is assumed that the Cure would have similar effects as with non-Original vampires.
* **Physical Trauma:** Minor physical injuries such as gunshots, stab wounds and broken bones will cause an Enhanced Original vampire pain and also slow them down.
* **Sunlight:** The sun also burns the Enhanced Original vampire but it cannot kill them. Alaric seemed to be able to tolerate sunlight better than Original and non-Original vampires.
* **Vervain:** Vervain burns Enhanced Original vampires just like it does with the other vampires, although an Enhanced Original vampire will heal very fast to the point where the damage done by the vervain is gone within seconds.
* **Werewolf Venom and Enchanted Thorns:** Similar to Original vampires, it is assumed that werewolf venom can't kill an Enhanced Original vampire and will likely experience similar effects. It is unknown whether or not Marcel's advanced werewolf venom or the Hollow's enchanted thorns could kill Alaric given the difference in the spells that created the two different, yet simlar species.
