Immortal

Immortals, also called immortal beings, are a species of monsters that are very difficult to kill.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Immortality**: Immortals possess an infinite lifespan and are therefore immune to aging, all known diseases, and death by conventional means.
	+ **Advanced Healing Factor**: Immortals, due to their unconditional immortality, are able to regenerate from any damage sustained to their bodies. Their bones snap back into place after being broken, and they have been observed to fully recover from gunshot wounds, stab wounds, broken necks, and impaled torsos.
	+ **Advanced Immunity**: Immortals possess a caliber of immortality that grants them immunity to all weaknesses. They are immune to wooden weapons, sunlight, vervain, werewolf bites, decapitation, heart extraction, or fire, and can enter a house unhindered without first being invited by the owner.
* **Psychic Powers**: Immortals possess various advanced psychic abilities that they can develop to affect any human or supernatural species, even over great distances. In fact, immortals are the only known species that possess abilities powerful enough to incapacitate or compel primordial vampires. After intense practice and consuming extraordinary amounts of blood, Immortals can even affect multiple targets with their psychic abilities. Silas was once able to control an entire crowd with his thoughts and make them forget afterwards. This ability seems to get stronger with age, practice, and high blood consumption.
	+ **Telepathy**: Immortals have the ability to enter another's mind, read their thoughts, and access their memories simply by being near them. This is not a passive ability, however, as Silas did not realize Damon was on to him until it was too late, suggesting that it takes a conscious effort on his part to activate and search memories and thoughts.
	+ **Illusions**: Immortals have the power to create powerful illusions. They are able to use these illusions on anyone they want, no matter how powerful they are. The ability to create illusions also allows for a form of shape-shifting, as they can make beings believe they are seeing the immortal in the form of another. They can be used on multiple people in multiple places at once. They can keep themselves at a physically safe distance while casting illusions. The illusions have proven sufficient against many vampires capable of brute force.
		- **Voice Imitation** : Using their illusions to appear as someone else, Immortals can change their voice at will and use their voice in addition to their appearance to make their victims believe that they really are what they claim to be .
		- **Psychic Pain Infliction** : Similar to witches with their pain infliction spells, immortals can inflict illusory psychic pain on their victims
	+ **Advanced Mind Compulsion** : Immortals can control thoughts, plague dreams, and erase memories of humans and supernatural creatures. They do not need eye contact and can influence extremely powerful supernatural beings such as Qetsiyah and Klaus. Unlike vampires, vervain does not prevent an immortal from entering the mind of a victim. They are even able to control entire crowds of people relatively easily from a distance after feeding on a large enough amount of blood.
* **Increased Strength** : Immortals have an above-average strength that makes them stronger than most humans, increasing their strength to a level more or less similar to the supernatural hunters of the Brotherhood of Five.
* **Increased Speed** : Immortals have increased speed, which allows them to move faster than humans.
* **Enhanced Reflexes** : Immortals possess enhanced reflexes that allow them to unconsciously react to stimuli faster than humans.
* **Super Durability** : Immortals are indestructible, they are very resistant to pain and can take a lot of damage without succumbing to physical injuries.
* **Enhanced Senses**: Immortals have a keen sense of hearing, sight, smell, taste, touch, and perception, but it surpasses that of humans, though its degree is still unknown.

## Weaknesses

* **Dehydration**: Like vampires, immortals can dehydrate if they do not drink blood.
* **Magic** : Immortals are susceptible to the power of sorcery. For example, they can dehydrate immortals.
