## Early History

During the Middle Ages, Kol was born in a small village, now known as Mystic Falls. He lived with his family as a human, up until his younger brother, Henrik, was killed by werewolves. It was because of this tragedy that his mother, Esther (who is the Original Witch), and his father, Mikael, decided to take action to protect the rest of their family. Esther performed the Immortality Spell at Mikael's request. She then gave her children wine laced with Tatia's blood and then had Mikael kill their children. Later, Mikael forced them to feed on human blood, thus turning them into the Original Vampires. After the death of Esther, the various members of the Original Family all went different ways and it can be assumed that Kol made his way to Europe around this time.

Before becoming a vampire, Kol practiced magic as a witch and was, according to him, very talented. He even described himself as something of a child prodigy. Kol was also the only one of his siblings to tap into his power and awaken his magic, and so, loved the rush and thrill it gave him. However, when he was turned into a vampire he lost his power and these thrills and was no doubt dismayed. In order to get a similar thrill to what magic once gave him, Kol, as a vampire, became a violent, formidable and feral force.

When Klaus told his siblings that Mikael had murdered their mother, they all ran from home together, fleeing in fear from their father.

### Southern France in 1002

After hearing Mikael had killed their mother, Kol fled from home with his siblings for months. They stuck together and fed on people in the countryside. One particular night, after attacking a carriage, Kol fed indiscriminately on one of their victims and was annoyed to have to spend time to hide the bodies. Elijah explained that if the bodies were found, word of their presence might reach Mikael. Feeling aimless and not knowing where to go, Kol suggested that they split up in order to better avoid Mikael. While Finn agreed with the notion, Elijah was quick to put it down, reminding them of their family vow of staying together always and forever.

After attacking a caravan belonging to five nobles in fine clothing who were clearly traveling to a nearby castle, Rebekah suggested that they take their victims' clothing and pose as them so they could live more comfortable lives. They discovered a servant of the castle who had overheard their idea of posing as the guests. He offered to help them with their ruse but the siblings couldn't decide whether to let him live or die. They put it to a vote, with Kol wanting to gut him since he only saw him as a dessert. Klaus had the deciding vote to let him live. The servant, Lucien, brought them into the castle and instructed them on how to properly behave themselves, brushing Kol's hair out of his face, to which Kol threatened to pull his arms off if he touched him again. After almost being discovered, the count welcomed them into his court.

Later that year, Kol began feasting on the local villagers indiscriminately, prompting them to believe they were being attacked by demons. Lucien warned Klaus that if Kol continued to give in to his decadence, the Mikaelsons wouldn't be able to stay much longer. Unknown to them, one of Kol's victims had survived the attack and told the count's son, Tristan, that it had been Kol who attacked her, though he had the face of a beast. Tristan revealed to Klaus and Elijah that Kol's behavior had given away their ruse. Kol's behavior, along with Klaus and Lucien's as well as the turning of Aurora and Lucien, contributed to the Mikaelsons fleeing from France. After they fled France, Kol, along with his four siblings and Dianna settled in Tuscany, Italy.

### Italy, 1114 A.D.

Throughout this time, Kol was in eastern Europe, presumably making the Originals famous with his actions along with Klaus; killing and turning people indiscriminately. Klaus, Dianna, Katie, Neveah, Elijah, and Rebekah had heard rumors of his actions from their own travels, as mentioned by Elijah. Kol would later join his family and Dianna in Italy where he went to a party held at a vampire hunter named Alexander's home. He was later daggered in a surprise attack but revived by his brother Klaus (who was unaffected by the daggers thanks to his along with Neveah, and Katie hybrid powers).

### Between 13th and 17th Century

Kol spent much time traveling on his own, often with witches, hoping to reclaim a connection to the magic that he had lost when he became a vampire. He spent time with witches in Africa in the 14th century, Haiti in the 17th century. During his time in Africa, Kol learned about medicinal herbs and remedies from a shaman in Uganda. All the witches he traveled with told apocalyptic tales about the immortal Silas, and how he would bring about the end of time. In his travels, Kol came across a cult that worshiped Silas. Fearing that the stories he had been told might be true, Kol murdered the entire cult, prompting him to believe Silas would never rise. While in Arabia, Kol learned the practice of Kemiya, and became an expert in its craft, despite not being able to personally use it as a vampire.

## Physical Appearance

Kol is marked by his brown hair and dark brown eyes. Despite being over a 1000-years old, he appears to be in his late teens, somewhere about 17-18. He is approximately 6'1" in height, very handsome and with a lean and athletic build. As shown while preparing for the Ball, Kol is very proud of his appearance, bordering on arrogance.

When he was first undaggered from his coffin, he was dressed in what he was wearing in the early twentieth century; a collared shirt with a vest, and dress pants. Kol shares a similar fashion sense to the rest of his family, dressing in a very high-class manner, but with a casual edge similar to his brother Klaus' attire, that is more prominent in modern times. Kol tends to dress in darker colors, wearing casual-button down shirts, both short and long-sleeved. He also wears henleys and occasionally t-shirts. He also wears stylish jackets most of the time, wearing coats and simple jackets. The colors Kol wears range from gray to navy blue to black to brown.

Kol's hair had also been subject to change, and he has had many styles over the centuries. In 1702, like his brother's, he had long hair but had pulled it back rather than letting it out. His hair was slicked up when he first woke up in the 21st century, but he eventually lessened the gel as he adjusted to modern times, letting his bangs fall over his face.

## Personality

Next to nothing is known of Kol's personality when he was a human for the first time, before Esther turned her children and Dianna into vampires. However, it was shown that he was close to his family, and this is reaffirmed by Kol's sadness at the disintegrating relationships between his siblings over a thousand years later. Kol loved being a witch, being something of a prodigy with magic, and out of his siblings was one of the only ones to actually tap into his power aside from his oldest sister Freya. He specifically loved the power that magic gave him and hated having to lose it when he was turned into a vampire. According to Rebekah, even as a child, Kol would not continue to lie once he has been caught on the act.

owever, as an Original vampire, Kol is menacing, unpredictable, dangerous, wicked, cheeky, somewhat unreasonable and cocky to a fault. He can quickly go from being a respectful gentleman to direct and aggressive. When Kol is presented to Carol Lockwood, he greets her with dignity and charm, but when Damon Salvatore is introduced to Kol, he speaks to him very condescendingly. Kol patronizes his siblings often, challenging them with snark and contempt, especially Rebekah and Klaus, demonstrating his clear irreverence. He enjoys breaking the rules, and is naturally very defiant; Finn even aptly describes him as being the wildest one in the family. Kol is also not short on ego, a fact Klaus has remarked on and considers himself to be "handsome". Additionally, Kol comes across as a playboy and hedonist, seemingly taking great pleasure in his vampire nature. One of Kol's defining characteristics is his vindictiveness. Much like Klaus, Kol does not hesitate to get retribution on those who have caused him harm; plotting for decades against both Klaus and Rebekah for sleights that caused him pain. Kol does not forgive easily, though may pretend to further his goals of vengeance.

As an Original vampire, Kol finds child-like enjoyment in his acts of violence, sometimes comparing them to games like hide-and-seek and believing that there is always time for games when he is told to take a situation seriously. A sadistic facet to Kol's character has also been shown such as when he compelled an acting troupe to murder each other while performing Hamlet just for his own entertainment. This example also illustrates his dark sense of humor, resulting in Elijah to opine that his brother has a "vile imagination". Later, in 1914, Kol callously slaughtered half a church parish, including a young altar boy, just to kill one woman whose house he needed to be able to enter. Kol had no regrets about the massacre, happily going to a family dinner soon after.

However, part of Kol missed being a witch. He missed the power that magic had given him and to make up for it, he turned to violence and mayhem, embracing his vampire nature. It was later revealed that Kol hated being a vampire due to the blood lust and heightened emotions, and preferred being a witch because he finally got to be himself.

Despite his flaws, he is shown to truly care for his family. However, due to not being included in the "always and forever" vow made by Klaus, Rebekah, and Elijah, Kol has always felt excluded and isolated from his siblings. His extremely violent and aggressive antics are a result of wanting attention from them. Once Marcel joined the family, Kol's jealousy and bitterness grew worse since Marcel seemed to take his spot in the family. When threatened by Rebekah, he was even shown to be ashamed of what his family had become, and was saddened that Elijah was so disgusted by their fighting. He also was upset by how quickly Rebekah seemed to move on from his death when he returned from the Other Side. He has also stated his appreciation of witches, holding them in high esteem. He seems closest to Rebekah and Klaus, though he has stated he views some of Klaus' actions as "horrors". He along with the rest of his siblings (excluding Finn) seemed to look up to Elijah, seeing him as the noble one. However, Kol's violent, reckless, and impulsive nature often clashed with his family, despite really caring for them beneath his vain personality.

Like Klaus, Kol has a sense of honor as he will not go back on his word, however, like his half-brother, he will always look for loopholes in the deals he makes. Despite being intelligent and calculating, he is known to draw unwanted attention to himself.
