**The Parker Family** is a family of witches featured in *Season Six* of *The Vampire Diaries*. They came from Oregon and were members of the Gemini Coven.

On May 9, 1994, Kai killed four of his siblings, yet Jo, Liv, and Luke managed to get away. On May 10, 1994, Jo told Kai she was going to merge with him, but she lied. He was imprisoned in an alternate dimension as punishment on May 10, 1994.

Kai and Luke merge. Kai comes out the winner and the new Gemini leader. Luke dies. After giving all her magic to him, Jo learns from Kai that she is pregnant. Jo learns from Lily that she is carrying Josie and Lizzie twins, the future leaders of the Gemini Coven. Kai stabs Jo, killing her and the unborn twins. Kai kills himself, killing the rest of the Gemini Coven, along with Joshua and Liv (who is suffocated by Tyler to activate his lycanthropy). Kai then wakes up as a hybrid with Lily's blood in his system.

Luna, Kai's girlfriend later finds out she's pregnant with triplets, Apollo, Artemis, and Athena. It was later revealed that Josie and Lizzie survived, given a unique Gemini spell to save the unborn babies to perpetuate the coven.

## History

The Parker family has a history of holding the leadership of the Gemini Coven. Having produced a long line of leaders, their most recent was the powerful witch Joshua Parker. Along with an unnamed woman whom he was married to, they produced eight children: the eldest, Josette and Malachai, four deceased unnamed children, and the youngest, Lucas and Olivia. Malachai was born without his own magic, having the ability to siphon it from other witches, which transformed him into an unstable person, unable to properly lead the coven. Thus, his parents continued to have children until a new set of twins were born: Luke and Liv. However, this angered Kai to the point of killing four of the siblings and attempting to murder his younger twins. Jo managed to protect them and pretended to accept to merge with her brother. This way, the Coven sent Kai to his own personal prison, from which he has now escaped. Kai ends up being trapped for many years until Damon and Bonnie show up; they help him to escape and then he travels to Mystic Falls.

Potential leaders can only lead if they have a twin and pass through a horrific ritual known as "merging". After their 22nd birthday, the twins are required to "merge", so that one of them can absorb the magic of the weaker, who then dies. Since Kai and Jo did not perform this ritual on their 22nd birthday, Luke and Liv were expected to do so on their 22nd birthday. The Gemini Coven was destroyed in which all members of this family, with the exception of Jo's twins and Kai's triplets, are dead.
