The nephew of Dahlia Mikaelson-Stuart the half-uncle of Freya and Keelin's son Finn Mikaelson II, Kol and Bonnie's daughter Maisie Mikaelson, and lastly the half-uncle of his favorite sister Rebekah and Stefan's daughter Lady Lillian Salvatore II.

Klaus was first mentioned in the second season of *Queen Diaries* in *Chapter fifteen: Rose*, during a conversation between Rose Marie and Stefan Salvatore. Rose warns Stefan about the Original Vampires which led to Elena Gilbert believing Klaus was the oldest vampire in history. Elijah later mentions that Klaus is a recluse and trusts very few people, usually only in his inner circle.

while in Mystic Falls Klaus met his now wife Qetsiyah for the first time as Skai Jenna Bennett then 2 weeks later met her in real form he took a liking to her but his ego made him not purse her plus he came to break the curse not fall in love she fought him with her cousin and friends to stop him from killing Elena Gilbert and 2 days before it happened she left for france later that month she goes back to mystic falls with the spell on and she and Bonnie meet again she also meets Klaus for the second time.

Once Klaus turned into a hybrid she began asking him for help as his mother, the original witch was powerful he provided her with spells she was thankful for it they became friends she trigged her curse by accidentally killing someone she went to Klaus as he wouldn't judge her he helped her and dug the body for her she was still in shock they became closer and began to fall for one another.

For over a thousand years, Klaus had been trying to break a curse placed on him. He created the myth of the sun and moon curse in order to find the moonstone and the Petrova Doppelgänger, both of which were needed to break the actual curse. His goal was to liberate his Werewolf side so he could sire his own super species of werewolf-vampire hybrids.

In 1492, he finally got the chance to break his curse when he met Katerina Petrova, the final piece necessary to break the curse. However, Katerina managed to foil his plan to use her in the sacrifice by turning into a vampire. For the next 500 years, Klaus searched for a way to break the curse without the doppelgänger, forcing generations of witches to help him. During his search for a way to break the curse, Klaus hunted down his family and neutralized them. He also hunted Katerina, who had escaped him and stolen his moonstone. However, it should also be noted that he was also on the run from his step-father, Mikael, as Klaus had an abusive childhood.

Besides his family, during the 1920's, Klaus formed a strong bond and brotherly relationship with Stefan. In New Orleans, he had a father/son bond relationship with Marcel whom he works with in ruling New Orleans until Klaus discovered his treachery for bringing Mikael to New Orleans. They reformed their friendship when Marcel saved his daughter and they worked together to bring down their enemies. He also cared for the bartender Camille O'Connell, with whom he had been good friends with before her death. He eventually moved to France due to his wife then girlfriend asking him they eventually got married in 2012 after discovering she was pregnant in New Orleans.

Klaus is apart of the **Mikaelson Family**, the **Count Family**, and the **Stuart Family** by birth the **Hopkins Family**, and a member of the **Bennett Family** by his marriage to Qetsiyah and their children.

## Name

**Niklaus is a beloved masculine Slavic name whose origins are rooted in Ancient Greek. A form of Nicholas, Niklaus comes from the Greek title Nīkólāos, meaning “victor of the people.” Nicholas is renowned across the globe and has been borne by many remarkable saints and figures.**

**Klaus is a boy's name of German origin meaning ”victory of the people.” This heroic and valiant name was originally a derivation of Nikolaus, a moniker famous for its association with the beloved man in red, Santa Claus.**

**Alexander is the Latin variant of the Greek name Alexandros, meaning "defender of men." The name is most famously associated with Alexander the Great, 4th-century BCE king of Macedonia in Greece, and one of history's most powerful military commanders.**

**Mikaelson *(Elder Futhark: ᛗᛁᚲᚨᛖᛚᛋᛟᚾ)* is of Scandinavian origin and means "Son of Mikael".**

**Other spellings of the name Mikaelson include *Michaelson, Michelson, Mikelson, Michaelsen*.**

**The name Mikael comes from the Hebrew מִיכָאֵל (Mikha'el), which translates as the question "Who is like God"?**

**The name Mikaelson is a patronymic surname, or a name constructed using the father's given name and a suffix indicating either "son" or "daughter". Strictly speaking, Rebekah would have taken the patronym Mikaelsdotter, or "Daughter of Mikael", in earlier times, but during the 19th century, Scandinavian naming conventions began to evolve, such that families preferred to take a family name rather than a patronymic surname. Mikaelson is an example of a patronymic surname that was "frozen" to become an inherited family name. Iceland is one country where the practice of using patronymic surnames still exists, whereas inherited family names are now mandatory in other Scandinavian countries.**

**Bennett is a historically masculine name of English origin. It's thought to be derived from the Latin name Benedictus which means “blessed.” In some regions, Bennet is more commonly used as a surname than as a first name.**
