Template:Character 2

**Niklaus Mikaelson** (***Elder Futhark:** ᚾᛁᚲᛚᚨᚢᛋ ᛗᛁᚲᚨᛖᛚᛋᛟᚾ*) was the main protagonist (and sometimes antagonist/anti-hero) of Template:The Originals. He was a former main character, antagonist/anti-hero of Template:The Vampire Diaries. Klaus was an Original vampire and a werewolf, making him the Original Hybrid.

Klaus was the biological son of Ansel and Esther Mikaelson, step-son of Mikael, nephew of Dahlia, maternal younger half-brother of Freya, Finn, Elijah, maternal older half-brother of Kol, Rebekah and Henrik Mikaelson and uncle of an unnamed and unborn nephew. Klaus was also the father of Hope Mikaelson, whose mother is Hayley Marshall-Kenner and as well as the adopted father of Marcel Gerard - an orphan boy he rescued.

Klaus was first mentioned in the second season of Template:The Vampire Diaries in *Rose*, during a conversation between Rose 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.

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. He then met with the vampire, Caroline Forbes, and starts to care about her, eventually falling in love with her and tried to win her love, and after a long time they were friends. 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 fallen in love before her death.

**Klaus** was primarily a member of the **Mikaelson Family**, and a member of an unnamed **Family of Werewolves**. He was connected to the **Labonair Family**, a royal werewolf family via his daughter, and a member of the **North East Atlantic Pack** as well as an unnamed **Witch Family**.

Mystic Falls, The Middle Ages, 10th Century
 File:Normal TheOriginals206-1204.jpeg
Niklaus Mikaelson was born to Esther and Ansel in a small village that would eventually become known as Mystic Falls, but was raised by his step-father Mikael, both believing he was his true father. Niklaus has six half-siblings fathered from his step-father Mikael, a Viking warrior and wealthy landowner who moved with his wife, Esther, to the New World after their home village was devastated by a plague. Mikael believed his beloved first born daughter Freya was a victim of it, not knowing she was taken by Esther's sister Dahlia as payment for a fertility spell to let Esther have children. Klaus was close to his family with the exception of Mikael. Mikael was inordinately hard on Klaus, having become an aggressive, violent, and strict man after he thought Freya died, always trying to teach his children to survive so he would not lose another child. In Klaus' case, Mikael was abusive to him for his impulsive and reckless behavior, justifying that his punishments would make Klaus stronger, but Mikael was only ever disappointed in everything Klaus did and beat him repeatedly throughout his mortal life. Elijah said that, as a mortal, Klaus was full of love and wanted to be loved in return. After becoming an Original Vampire and werewolf hybrid upon triggering his werewolf gene, his amplified temper and emotions, along with the psychological damage of Mikael's cruelty, turned Klaus into a violent and cruel person, much like his step-father Mikael. Many years before, his mother had an affair with a man from their neighboring village, whose inhabitants were known to be werewolves, men who transformed into wolves on the night of a full moon.
Once as kids, Elijah takes Niklaus into the woods to teach him how to hunt. Elijah encourages his brother,

 File:Klaus 1x16.jpg
stating that his aim has been improving, when he misses a shot; however, Mikael intervenes and scolds Elijah for encouraging his brother and snatches the bow from Niklaus, stating that he wasn't man enough to hold a weapon. Niklaus tries to apologize, but Mikael sees him as a weakling and starts kicking him. Elijah tries to stop his father from hurting his brother but he is scared off by Mikael who stated that if Elijah intervened he would be next.
He was once beaten, half to death, as a boy, when his father's blades went missing. In the days following the incident, Rebekah was particularly kind to him, which Klaus later realized meant that she had been the one to take them.
Niklaus and all his siblings used to play in the woods when they were kids, showing they all loved each other dearly. He even stayed awake, to comfort a scared Rebekah by holding her hand during a stormy night, and giving her a carved wooden knight, which he made for his father, stating that it will protect her, something that he has kept safely to this date as memento of his childhood.
Esther found a young Klaus in the woods once when he was hiding from Mikael, as Mikael wanted to bring him along to hunt, but Niklaus was afraid to go with Mikael. He was afraid so she gave him a necklace which he believed would protect him and remind him that Esther will be with him always and forever. A few years later, Mikael hurt Klaus in the woods during a fight between them, with Klaus starting the fight by believing that if he beat his father once, Mikael would show his approval to Klaus. Esther helped Klaus to heal. Klaus told her about the fight and that Mikael wanted to take his necklace she gave him. In *Every Mother's Son*, Klaus found out that the necklace made him weak, not strong. Because of Esther's spell, Klaus was weakened and his anger suppressed as she didn't want him to be strong, kill somebody and trigger the werewolf gene. This would reveal that Klaus was not Mikael's son, and she feared Mikael would kill them for her unfaithfulness and betrayal.

Both Niklaus and Elijah were in love with Tatia, even though she had a child with her husband who died in battle. They both vied for her attention and even had arguments and traded blows over her. She eventually chose to be with Elijah. Centuries later, Elijah finally told Niklaus he killed Tatia. Niklaus was very angry with Elijah over this, but he chose to forgive him. They later found out that Tatia's blood was used for the Immortality Spell placed on them, being the doppelganger of Amara, the world's first Immortal woman, as her blood was a powerful tool for a witch's spells.

Niklaus was once flogged by Mikael severely for taking his knife to carve chess pieces. When Elijah comes in and tries to stop his father from beating Niklaus to death, he gets pushed back. Rebekah then intervenes by threatening to kill their father with a sword if he doesn't stop beating Niklaus. Mikael snatches the sword from Rebekah and leaves in a rage.

 File:ORDP (9).jpg
When Niklaus and his brother Henrik went to see the wolves transform, Henrik was killed by one of the transformed werewolves. Devastated at the loss of another child, Mikael convinced Esther to use her magic to protect their remaining children. Upon Mikael's request, Esther performed a spell, called The Immortality Spell, which transformed Niklaus, his siblings, and his step-father into Original Vampires, the first vampire's to exist, and progenitors to the vampire species.

 File:Klaus becomes a Hybrid for the first time TO 1x01.jpg
When Niklaus made his first human kill, his werewolf gene was activated and he became a vampire and werewolf hybrid, thus revealing Esther's infidelity. Soon after becoming a Hybrid, Mikael had Elijah help him restrain Niklaus, and Esther to use her Dark Magic to place a curse on him which forced his werewolf side to lie dormant, and then rejected and abandoned him.

 File:Tumblr nevqdrFZa41qhzql2o10 250.gif
Mikael then hunted down and killed Niklaus' father and his entire family, not realizing that doing so would ignite a war between vampires and werewolves that has been perpetuated across the ages. In retaliation for the curse and rejection, Klaus murdered his mother and framed Mikael for the act.
After killing Esther, his family scattered and Niklaus stayed behind with Rebekah to bury Esther. Rebekah promised to never turn her back on him, like Esther did and so did Elijah. They swore to each other they would stay together always and forever.

Southern France

While fleeing from Mikael after the death of their mother, Klaus ran with his siblings for a significant amount of time, feeding on people along the countryside but always being careful to hide the bodies. Unsure of where they were going, Kol brought up the idea that maybe they should split up so as to better avoid their father. Finn agreed with the idea, tired of the killing and running, taking no pleasure in their descent into vampirism. Elijah was quick to remind his siblings of their vow to remain together always and forever.

 File:TO 301 0578KlausElijahRebekahKolFinnLucien.jpg
When they discovered a caravan filled with fine clothing belonging to victims they had just killed, Rebekah suggested they steal the clothes and pose as the victims since they were heading to a nearby castle. When they found a servant of the castle who was escorting the cart to its destination, he told them he could help them in their potential ruse. They put it to a vote, whether they should let him live. Kol and Elijah wanted to kill him, while Finn and Rebekah wanted to spare him. Ultimately, Klaus had the deciding vote and he voted to spare the servant. The servant, Lucien Castle, presented them to the count after trying to help them blend in and present themselves as nobles. After almost being caught, their plan worked and they were welcomed into the count's court. Some time later, Niklaus started an affair with the Count's daughter, Aurora de Martel. Despite knowing that his then friend; Lucien, loved her as well, he continued seeing her. But one day, they were caught by Lucien, who was so angry with Klaus, he started a fuss, that led Aurora's older protective brother Tristan de Martel to hear them. Aurora, not knowing Klaus was a vampire, feared for his life, and told him to flee - and he did. But Lucien didn't run on time, and Tristan caught him and tortured him because he was with his sister. Elijah and Klaus (who felt guilty) tried to talk Tristan out of it, but he revealed that because of Kol's antics he know what they are, and about their lies, and threatened to expose them if they don't stay out of it. Later Klaus came to rescue Lucien, but he was too angry of his betrayal that he stabbed him, despite knowing what he is. But then some of Klaus' blood spilled on Lucien's wounds, healing them. Lucien thought that he became like Klaus, and went after Tristan for revenge. But he got speared by a guard before he could get to him.

 File:Elijahklaus3x pire03.png
Later that night, Niklaus and Elijah stood over Lucien's funeral pyre, with Elijah asking his little brother if he was sure that Lucien didn't become one of them. Klaus replied that he tried to heal him with his blood but failed. Elijah then realized that they can only cure the living, and left. Just as Klaus was about to burn Lucien's body, he rose back, waking up in transition. Later, Klaus found his new vampire progeny feeding on women in the chapel. He tried to calm Lucien, and asked him to show restraint and asked if was still mad at him, but Lucien said that he wants Klaus to show him what it means to be like him, and said that he is no longer angry with Klaus, as he has given him a rare gift, and so, the two of them started wreaking havoc together. At the same time Klaus and Aurora's affair continued, until she saw him, Rebekah, and Lucien feed together, and she ran screaming. Later Klaus wrote her a letter explaining his family's unique condition, and she eventually understood and continued seeing him. But after that she begged him to turn her, and he refused. After some time, it was Aurora's birthday, and he brought her flowers. But he found Aurora crying in the chapel, she told him that she killed her mother as she gave birth to her. Klaus, wrecked with guilt, and saddened about killing his own mother -and unable to tell anyone about it- blurt out his secret to her. Afterwards, he found out that Aurora tricked his sister to giving her blood, and jumped from the roof - and turned to a vampire. The two slept together in the chapel.

 File:Normal TO305 2380KlausRebekahElijah.jpg
Short time later, an upset Finn informed his siblings that the villagers talks about demons feeding on human blood. The Mikaelsons realized they have been exposed, and that their father is on his way. Klaus came to Aurora's room, to take her with them, but she refused to leave her brother, and said she didn't love him, breaking his heart; and so, he left, leaving her. Unknown to anyone, Elijah compelled Aurora to think that, as he learned from her that Klaus killed their mother - and this was his revenge. Afterwards, desperate to avoid to their father, Elijah compelled Aurora, Lucien, and newly turned Tristan to think that they are Rebekah, Klaus and Elijah; respectively, so they can be a decoy. Some time later, the Mikaelson siblings run from their father, left France, and settled in Tuscany.

### Italy

 File:Klaus-and-elijah-in-season-4-episode-4.jpg
Klaus was with Elijah and Rebekah in 1114 AD Italy when they met a man named Alexander, a vampire hunter who was part of The Five. They spent a lot of time with him—the brothers in order to discover his plans for killing vampires and Rebekah because she loved him. Alexander did not seem to suspect them; they wore their daylight rings, allowing them to walk in the sun without burning, unlike the vampires whom Alexander killed on public display. However, when Klaus and his siblings were invited to a party at Alexander's home, the members of The Five daggered them in their sleep. Klaus, with half werewolf lineage, could not be neutralized by the White Oak Ash Daggers and upon awakening killed all of The Five, including Alexander. He undaggered his siblings (except for Finn) and found out from Rebekah that the weapon Alexander had told her about was a "cure" for vampirism. As a result of slaying The Five, Klaus was forced to endure 52 years, 4 months and 9 days of the Hunter's Curse - torturous hallucinations that haunted his dreams and every waking moment in an attempt to make him kill himself, but unable to, given his near-indestructible state.

### 1359

According to Elijah, Klaus has lost much of his humanity, hiding his loneliness with cruelty and anger.

### England, 1492

 File:Tvd-klaus-560.jpg
Klaus was an English nobleman during the late 15th century when he met Katerina Petrova, the second doppelgänger whose appearance he had been awaiting for five hundred years. Planning to use her in the ritual, he had kept her entertained until the full moon, but she learned of his plan before it could take place and escaped, taking the moonstone with her. As she fled, she encountered a vampire named Rose, whom she tricked into turning her into a vampire, thus ruining forever Klaus' plan to use her to break the curse. After Katerina turned into a vampire, Klaus assumed that her family line ended with her and that his chance to break his curse was gone forever. In retaliation, Klaus traveled to Bulgaria and murdered Katerina's entire family for her defiance.

### Copenhagen, Denmark. 1500s

It was mentioned by Freya in Save My Soul, that the Mikaelson siblings resided in Copenhagen in the 1500s.

### Cádiz, Spain, 1702

 File:Normal TheOriginals202-0011-0.jpeg
In 1702, Kol's violence in Spain drew too much attention and brought Mikael, straight to the family, burning the country in his wake. While the flames drew closer and Mikael beheaded Klaus' horse, Theo. Elijah and Klaus searched for Kol while Rebekah brought the daggered Finn on-board a ship to flee from Europe. They found him in a tavern where he drank and feasted on humans carelessly. Despite their warnings of Mikael's coming, he refused to flee. When Klaus and Elijah insisted, Kol attempted to resist them but was subdued by Elijah as Klaus pulled out one of the white oak ash daggers and successfully neutralized Kol.

### New Orleans, 1700s

 File:Klaus 3 TO 1x01.jpg
Having fled the Old World, escaping Mikael , Klaus, along with Rebekah, and Elijah, and their daggered brothers sailed across the Atlantic ocean to the new world, their once childhood land; through the Mississippi River, and arrived in New Orleans, 300 years from the present. Upon arriving off the coast of New Orleans, they slaughtered all the men who boarded their ship, but left one alive to question and carry their luggage. In 1720, Klaus and Elijah helped the Governor in building the New Orleans' first levees.

New Orleans, 1800s
At some point in this century, Klaus came across Rayna Cruz after she returned to New Orleans. She terrorized the French Quarter and killed many of his best men which made him nervous of her power.

New Orleans, 1820
 File:Klaus 10 TO 1x02.jpg
In 1820, Niklaus, Elijah, and Rebekah were living in New Orleans at the Governor's mansion; and were paying the governor in gold to keep quiet about the existence of vampire's. One day the Governor threw a party for the Mikaelson's. Rebekah went up stairs with the Governor's son, who she wanted to turn. Rebekah went to Elijah with the Governor's son and asked if she could turn him, to which Elijah suggested it wouldn't be a wise move to turn the Governor's son into a vampire. In that moment, Klaus took the Governor's son and threw him off the second story, killing him immediately. Klaus and his brother attended the funeral of the Governor's son, when Klaus sees a man whipping a child. Klaus saves the child; and decides to care for him. He names the child Marcellus.
He later meets the Governor to ask for Marcellus' freedom and chokes the Governor's neck until he grants the freedom. Niklaus asks Marcel about his father and quotes that family can be more than just those with whom they share blood and that they can choose. Marcel looked touched by his words.

 File:Klauselijah2x108.jpg
In 1820, Klaus is seen challenging a man in a duel; but Klaus wins the duel. Elijah then becomes a little worried and asks Klaus if it is not enough, that he has slaughtered dozens in just these past several weeks. Klaus explains that a city littered with bodies will surely travel the oceans. Elijah asks his brother if he wants to bring their father upon them; but Klaus tells Elijah to relax. Klaus then explains that he has sent rumor that the bodies are a result of the witches seeking blood sacrifice for their rituals. Elijah is shocked because he is in love with a witch named Celeste; but Klaus isn't concerned. Elijah takes a revolver and shoots at Klaus, who groans with pain. Klaus sees that Elijah cares about Celeste and warns that they're rounding up the town's witches as they speak.

New Orleans, 1821
 File:Normal TheOriginals202-0495.jpeg
Klaus grew jealous as Marcellus grew closer to Elijah rather than him. Feeling lonely, he undaggered his younger brother, Kol, so he'd have someone to have fun with. The two began happily causing chaos across New Orleans, even slaughtering an entire tenement building for fun. When Klaus revealed that he'd choose Marcellus over Kol, though, Kol grew angry and threatened to turn Marcellus into a vampire. Klaus, realizing his brother was too wild to control, daggered Kol yet again.

New Orleans, 1835
 File:Hosuerdigin15.jpg
By 1835, Marcel and Rebekah spent practicing fencing, when Marcel was finally an adult, he could best her in a duel he attempted to make his move on her only to be stopped by Klaus. Despite pleading with Klaus to let him be with Rebekah, Klaus still shot him down and forbid him from pursuing her. However this did not stop Marcel from trying again and making out with Rebekah. They were abruptly torn apart physically by Klaus who decided to punish them by daggering Rebekah.
In the same year, Marcel gets shot by the the Governor while trying to free some slaves. A dying Marcel forces Klaus to turn him into a vampire or let him die as a human. Niklaus against his wishes, gives in and fulfills Marcel's desire to become a vampire.

New Orleans, 1887
 File:Klaus 24 TO 1x02.jpg
In 1887, Klaus undaggered Rebekah, revealing he had left her daggered for 52 years. When she had asked to see Marcel, as she feared Klaus had killed him, Klaus sadistically revealed that he gave Marcel an ultimatum. Either live a long human life with Rebekah and die; or become a vampire, but to stay away from Rebekah. He chose the latter, even walking into the room as a proof, devastating Rebekah.

New Orleans, 1914
 File:Normal TheOriginals209-2416KlausElijahKol.jpeg
During the holidays, after catching his brother Kol in the act of stealing a rare paragon diamond (which he confiscated from Kol, together with Marcel), Klaus learned from Rebekah during a Christmas dinner party, that Kol was conspiring with some of the New Orleans witches against him. During the party that was hosted at the compound, Klaus made a speech about loyalty and betrayal, prompting Kol to try and flee from the party. Klaus pursued him and, in front of all of their guests, yet again daggered his brother with Elijah's help.

New Orleans, 1918
 File:Normal TheOriginals211-1063Klaus.jpeg
In 1918, Klaus wanted to convince Marcel not to fight in World War 1. He told him that he needs to stay with him at New Orleans, where the people who care for him are, but Marcel left New Orleans anyway- to fight the Germans. Much later Klaus visited Marcel on the war front in France, to entice him to drink blood of young ladies. At the same time he offered Marcel return to New Orleans. Marcel was starving, but he refused Klaus' offer again because he didn't want to leave his men.

New Orleans, 1919
 File:Dance Back from the Grave (7).jpg
In 1919, Klaus tried to make arrangements with werewolves in the city, so his rule could remain hidden. But their meeting is soon interrupted by the witch Alphonz Bellatunde Delgallo, also known as Papa Tunde, who demands to know how would it benefit for the witches. He demands a tribute as he thinks he is also the king in this city and brings them the head of the mayor who he has killed. Klaus doesn't like it and decides to find out who this enemy is. Klaus befriends him to find out his weaknesses so he could destroy him. With help of the Marcel (who just returned from WW1) he finds out that Papa Tunde channels two twin witches who always accompany him and kills them to get rid of this rival.
During this time, Klaus was very critical of Marcel and Rebekah's relationship, and they were determined to remove Klaus from their lives, and unbeknownst to Klaus, used a witch to call Mikael to New Orleans.
Six months after this, Klaus and Elijah attend a local club underneath the Opera Theater, and Klaus flirts briefly with Lana, the "Werewolf Queen" and owner, before he and Elijah contemplate the unification of New Orleans. Elijah tells him they worked together to build up the city, but it was originally Niklaus' vision.

 File:Mikaelthreatensklaus.jpg   Sometime later whilst sharing a drink with Elijah, Klaus notices Marcel and Rebekah attempting to convincingly avoid each other, as he stands, Elijah tries to pull him down to refrain him from causing trouble.
Instead of condemning the pair, Klaus admits that as they move into the new era, attitudes must change. He toasts to Marcel and Rebekah, that they find joy in each other and that he has killed Rebekah's lovers to protect her from a broken heart if they have to move. However they are now home and he wants her to be happy.
After a morning with Lana, she proposes tickets for the Theater that night. Rebekah and Klaus are later seen in a box at the Theater, and Rebekah heads towards the lobby to find Marcel. As Klaus is left alone and the curtain about to lift, Mikael appears behind him, poking his back with the White Oak. Mikael taunts him over the word "father" and that his real father would be just as embarrassed before telling him his plan. After Klaus demands Mikael just kill him, he is proud of his achievements in creating the city, Mikael taunts death will come, however afterwards he will stay in New Orleans.

 File:Klausrebekahelijah.jpg   He will stay long enough to make sure everybody who remembers Klaus will be dead, and it would be as if he never even existed. As Klaus mulls this over, the curtains lift and Mikael announces he made some changes, sarcastically baiting he would love them. The audience applause's and laughs, compelled by Mikael as the curtain reveals Lana, impaled with a stake and Marcel is staked to a cross, barely conscious.
Klaus tries to save Marcel however he is thwarted by Mikael, and Rebekah intervenes only for Mikael to stab her and push her aside. Only when Elijah appears, they decide to run, that it was too late to save Marcel who Mikael was feeding on. As they flee, Klaus feeds Rebekah his blood to heal her as they hear Mikael approach. She is devastated at Marcel's apparent death and reveals it was her fault. Klaus denies this, instead apologizing to her, saying this was his fault, and as the Opera burns to the ground ahead of them with screams rippling from inside, that he thought they found a home. Elijah tells them to leave, that he will hold Mikael off. After hesitation, Klaus grabs Rebekah and the two leave New Orleans.

Chicago, 1920's
 File:NKOH (14).jpg
During the 1920's, a few years after the New Orleans incident Klaus and Rebekah were yet again on the run from Mikael. The siblings were in Chicago in 1922 where they met the vampire Stefan Salvatore, whom Rebekah fell in love with. At first Klaus hated Stefan, but he grew to like him once he discovered that Stefan was a Ripper and they became good friends.

 File:Dsgvrb.png
One night, the speakeasy they were at was attacked, apparently by the police, though it turned out the raid was led by Mikael. Before he left, Klaus compelled Stefan to forget him and Rebekah. Later, when he and Rebekah were about to leave Chicago, Rebekah told Klaus that she was tired of running and wanted to be with Stefan. Klaus then forced her to choose between him and Stefan; she chose Stefan. Afraid of being left alone, he neutralized his sister with a White Oak Ash Dagger, then took her body with him in a car and left Chicago.

Rostock, Germany, 1933
In 1933, in Rostock Germany, Klaus and Elijah meet August Müller; they criticize his art. Klaus looks into the werewolf massacres and learn that August was slaughtering "beasts". He eventually kills August, but spares his family, Greta, Antoinette, and Roman Sienna; ultimately shaming them in the process.

In *Know Thy Enemy*, Isobel Flemming, a vampire working with Katerina Petrova (now known as Katherine Pierce) and who also happened to be the birth mother of the Third Petrova doppelgänger, was trying to find Klaus and ultimately succeeded by getting close to a member of his inner circle. Klaus found out what she was up to and compelled her to tell him what she knew. When he learned that she was working with Katherine and that the rumors about a Doppelgänger in Mystic Falls were true, he decided to use her in a plan to capture Katherine, the moonstone, and the new doppelgänger. Along with Klaus' trusted witch, Maddox, Isobel made Katherine believe that Klaus was willing to pardon her if she delivered the moonstone and the doppelgänger to him. While Katherine found the moonstone, Isobel helped Maddox capture her former husband, Alaric Saltzman. Katherine and Isobel then captured Elena at which point Isobel revealed her true colors and Maddox captured Katherine. He then ordered her to let Elena go since Klaus didn't need her yet. Maddox then transferred Klaus' spirit into Alaric's body so that he could spy on Elena and her friends.
In *The Last Dance*, Klaus interrogates Katherine for information about Elena and her friends and learns that a witch Bonnie Bennett could be a danger to him, so he decides to kill her. Still pretending to be Alaric, he attacks her at the 60's decade dance by compelling several students. Finally cornering Bonnie, he forces her to use enough power to kill her, until she apparently dies. He doesn't realize that she has faked her death to protect herself and Elena.

In *Klaus*, he has Maddox and his other minions, including Greta, bring his original body to him so that he can return to it. While they are doing so, he sets up a contingency plan by threatening Jenna's life. As Stefan stops him from killing Jenna, Klaus tells him that it would be easy for him to take his revenge if Elena tries to stop him from breaking the curse. At the same time, Elena learns from Elijah the true nature of the curse and why Klaus wants to break it. He is then released from Alaric's body and returned to his own body by Maddox and Greta.

In *The Last Day*, Klaus goes to the Mystic Grill to remind Damon not to do anything he will regret. Damon asks if he can postpone the ritual, but Klaus says he has everything he needs and the ritual will happen. He warns him not to screw it up if he wants to live. Klaus returns to Alaric's apartment and is immediately suspicious of Katherine. He compels her to tell him what she has been doing but, as she is taking vervain, she is able to lie. He is still suspicious and 'compels' her to take off her bracelet, walk to the window and stand in the sunlight. In order to keep up the ruse, Katherine complies and screams in agony until Klaus, satisfied that she has been successfully compelled, permits her to save herself. He then says she needs to do something for him. When the full moon begins to emerge, Stefan and Elena arrive home but are confronted by Klaus, who tells Stefan that he had him all nervous and thought he might have done something stupid. Klaus asks if Elena is ready. Stefan put his arm in front of Elena and says "*No*". Klaus tells him there is no reason for him to die, and he and Elena leave for the ritual. Klaus returns to Alaric's apartment and tells Katherine that Elena is with Greta. The door flings open and Damon tells Klaus to postpone the ritual, explaining that he rescued the werewolf and vampire and killed Maddox. Klaus tells him that he knew either Damon or Stefan would try to stop him and reveals that he always has a back-up plan. He shows Damon on a webcam that he has captured Jules. Damon asks if he has a back-up vampire and Klaus says he has got it covered, before darkness falls on Damon. Katherine wakes Damon up and tells him that Klaus has gone to begin the ritual. She admits that she had to do something so Klaus wouldn't realize she was on vervain, and reveals that Klaus made her call Jenna, pretending to be Elena, in order to lure her out of the house so Klaus could use her as the vampire sacrifice. Katherine explains that Klaus needed another vampire because Damon's blood was made impure by his werewolf bite.

 File:TVD - 2.21 - The Sun Also Rises.avi snapshot 27.51 -2011.05.07 15.49.40-.jpg
In *The Sun Also Rises*, Klaus appears at the quarry and begins the sacrifice by handing the moonstone over to Greta. Klaus walks over to Jules, who then tries to attack him but fails. Klaus rips out her heart then squeezes the blood into the spell. The sacrifice continues and Elena begs Klaus to let Jenna go, explaining that she doesn't have to die. Elena doesn't want to leave Jeremy without a family and points out that she did everything Klaus asked. However, Klaus realizes that Stefan has arrived and goes to speak to him on top of a cliff. Stefan tries to negotiate himself in exchange for Jenna's life. Klaus and Stefan return to the women and Klaus asks Elena who she wants to save and who she wants to die. However, he soon reveals that she doesn't really have a choice and stakes Stefan in the back. He explains that he has other plans for Stefan and needs him alive. Greta removes the fire circle surrounding Jenna, who rushes over to attack Greta as a last-ditch attempt to thwart her. However, Klaus stabs Jenna, lies her down, and stakes her in the heart.

Klaus appears and tells Elena it's time, offering her his hand. She refuses it and walks past him to the sacrificial altar. Klaus thanks her, but she tells him to go to hell. He bites her neck and feeds from her until she falls onto the ground, lifeless. Klaus announces that he can "feel it happening" and begins to transform. Bonnie Bennett appears and throws him across the ground. Greta heads towards them, but Damon snaps her neck. Bonnie continues to cast the spell with Klaus yelling to the top of his lungs in pain. As he is about to die, Elijah approaches him at which point Bonnie stops the spell. Klaus seems terrified as he sees his older brother towering over him. Elijah punches through Klaus' rib cage to get to his heart, and Elijah says that this was for their family. Klaus then tells him that he didn't bury them at sea and that their bodies were safe and that Elijah would never find them without him. After some consideration, Elijah saves his brother without Stefan or Bonnie being able to stop him.

In *As I Lay Dying*, a few days later, he wakes up in the forest with Elijah over him. Elijah gave him some clothes and asked him where the bodies of their family were. Klaus says that he will take him to them in time. Later they go to Alaric's apartment where they find Katherine and Stefan. Stefan tells Klaus that he needs his help for Damon, and knows Klaus has a cure for Damon's werewolf bite. Klaus suddenly daggers Elijah with the White Oak Ash Dagger seemingly for trying to kill him during the sacrifice, and then he runs towards Stefan and puts a wooden stake close to his heart. Stefan then tries to make a deal with him. Klaus will give him a cure for a werewolf bite and he will be at his mercy.  File:TVD - 2.22 - As I Lay Dying (24).jpg   He releases Stefan, and then he bites Katherine and gives her his blood and tells Stefan that his blood is the cure. In exchange for the werewolf bite cure, he forces Stefan to drink human blood several times to awaken Stefan's ripper persona. In the end he tells Katherine to go and give Damon his blood. Later he and Stefan go to a warehouse where he puts Elijah's body in a coffin and tells some men to put him with the others. Klaus then tells Stefan he has a gift for him, and beckons to a human girl. He says he wants to be sure Stefan will honor their deal, and feeds on the girl. Klaus releases her, but as she begins to flee Stefan attacks and feeds on her until she dies. Satisfied, Klaus says now they can go.

Klaus and Stefan have spent the summer tracking a werewolf named Ray Sutton down the entire Eastern seaboard, leaving a trail of bodies behind them. They ultimately find Ray in Tennessee where Klaus has Stefan kill two more girls before they corner Ray in a bar. There, Klaus tells Ray that he is a hybrid and that he wants to create more.
He has Stefan torture Ray using darts tipped in wolfsbane to force Ray to reveal the location of his pack. At this time, Klaus' is warned that Damon Salvatore had gone to the house where they had killed two women. He decides to go and put Damon in his place but Stefan insists that he should go instead. Klaus lets him. He ends up getting the location of the pack from Ray, then he finds the location of Ray's pack and ends up feeding Sutton his blood before killing him in order to turn him into a hybrid.
In *The Hybrid*, Klaus and Stefan find Ray's werewolf pack in the woods. Klaus feeds each of them his blood and kills them, believing this will turn them into hybrids. When Ray bleeds from his eyes and continues to feel immense pain, Klaus suspects that something has gone wrong. Ray soon becomes rabid and flees the site. Stefan, on Klaus' orders, pursues Ray to stop him and ends up bitten. Klaus says he will cure the fatal bite if Stefan retrieves Ray. The other werewolves experience the same bleeding as Ray, and Klaus kills some of them while others simply bleed to death. When Stefan comes back with Ray's dead body, Klaus is angry that he seems unable to successfully create a hybrid. Klaus gives Stefan his blood to cure the bite and they leave the campsite littered with the bodies of the failed hybrids.

In *The End of the Affair*, Klaus and Stefan have arrived in Chicago, where Klaus plans to meet his "favorite witch", Gloria, to find out why he can't make any new hybrids. Stefan finds an old picture of them together at the bar, and Klaus reveals that they had met before, that they had been friends back in the 1920's and that Klaus was Stefan's "number one fan", as he liked Stefan's ways of torturing others before killing them. Klaus had erased Stefan's memories of him and his sister Rebekah to protect themselves, as they were on the run from a yet unknown person. Gloria tells them that she needs Rebekah, as she has something Gloria needs. Klaus resurrects his sister, but she does not have her necklace, which they need in order to contact the Original Witch.
In *Disturbing Behavior*, Klaus is still using Gloria to try and find the necklace. Klaus later finds out that Stefan was asking about Mikael, the person that he was maybe running from in the 1920's. Klaus seems angered by this and knocks Stefan out then takes him back to Mystic falls to find out why he is still holding on to his former life.
At the beginning of *The Reckoning*, Klaus corners Elena, asking her why she is still alive. He takes her by the arm and leads her to the gym, chasing away the other students by telling them they've been busted for pranking. Elena tells Klaus not to hurt anyone, but he argues that he has to. Rebekah drags Tyler's body into the gym, and they wait till Bonnie arrives, where Klaus tells her she has to find a way that he can successfully create hybrids.

 File:NKOH (25).jpg   Stefan later comes in and pledges allegiance to Klaus, but both knew it was a lie as soon as Klaus hurt Elena, and Stefan tried to stop him. Klaus then compels Stefan not to fight him and to listen to him. He orders him to kill the two teenagers, Dana and Chad, whom Klaus had compelled to stay there. To make a game of everything, Klaus sets the gym clock as a countdown: Bonnie has to find a way for him to create hybrids, or else Stefan must kill Elena when time is up.  File:NKOH (49).jpg
After Stefan tries to fight the compulsion, Klaus yet again compels him, this time much more emphatically, to turn his humanity off, and finally succeeds. Having overheard Matt tell Bonnie that the witches on the Other Side said the doppelgänger must be killed in order for the hybrids to survive, Klaus surmises that the opposite must be true - that the doppelgänger's blood is necessary to complete the process. He turns out to be right after he feeds Tyler a vial of Elena's blood and Tyler completes the transformation - the first hybrid after Klaus.

 File:NKOH (57).jpg   Damon arrives to rescue Elena at the hospital, where Klaus has hooked her up to a blood bag to extract her valuable blood. Klaus stops him in the parking lot, saying although he had promised Stefan he wouldn't kill him, now Stefan probably wouldn't care. Damon tells him that Mikael knows where they are. Klaus replies that he's bluffing, but Damon informs him that they found Mikael's tomb. Klaus throws Damon against a car and vanishes without a trace. He leaves town in search of werewolves he can turn into hybrids, and manages to find several, successfully turning them.
In *Homecoming*, Klaus receives a call from Stefan who tells him that Mikael is dead. Thanks to the fact that Elena really did stab Mikael with a white oak dagger, Stefan is able to override Klaus' compulsion when he is forced to tell the truth. Rebekah, who has learned that Klaus had killed their mother, corroborates Stefan's lie in an attempt to lure him back to Mystic Falls. Klaus says that he will be on his way. In the meantime, he gives Tyler orders to throw a party to celebrate Mikael's death.
After seeing who he thinks is Elena, he reveals that his hybrids are present throughout the crowd, and they have orders to kill Damon if Klaus is killed. The party goes well, until one of his hybrids says that a guest named Mikael is waiting for him. Visibly angered, he goes to meet his step-father at the door. Klaus attempts to have his hybrids attack Mikael, but Mikael reveals that while they are sired to Klaus, they are part vampire and can therefore be compelled by Mikael, an Original. Mikael reveals that he had one of the hybrids grab 'Elena' and threatens to kill her if Klaus doesn't come outside of the Lockwood house.
Klaus tries to call Mikael's bluff, but Mikael stabs her. To everyone's shock, it isn't Elena at all, but Katherine, who throws wolfsbane grenades at the hybrids and runs. Damon then appears and attacks Klaus with the white oak stake. However, Stefan interrupts the battle, pulling Damon off of Klaus. Klaus grabs the stake and drives it through Mikael's heart, killing him and destroying the stake in the process.

 File:Klaushomecoming.png   When Damon asks Stefan what he was doing, it is Klaus who answers by saying that Stefan was earning his freedom, which Klaus then grants him before leaving again. Unaware of his sister's role in the murder attempt, he calls to tell her that Mikael is dead and that it is time to go, but he is unable to reach her (Elena had daggered her before the homecoming dance). Stefan then calls and reveals that he had stolen the coffins containing Klaus' siblings, whom Klaus intended to revive now that Mikael was dead. Klaus threatens to kill Stefan and anyone Stefan ever met, but Stefan merely replies that if he does, he will never see his family again.
In *The New Deal*, Klaus is having a house renovated for himself and his hybrids to live in while in Mystic Falls. He meets Damon and Elena at the Grill asking where Stefan is. When they don't cooperate, he leaves, hinting that Stefan's whereabouts might soon be their problem as well as his. Later, while discussing his predicament with Damon, Klaus calls Jeremy and tells him to do "that thing" he'd told him to - clearly Klaus had compelled him earlier that day to wait for and obey his instructions to go outside into the street and not to move. Klaus' hybrid attempts to kill Jeremy by hitting him with a car, but Alaric saves him. Once back at his house, Klaus chats with Tyler about the day's events, mentioning that humans are a means to an end. Later he arrives at the Salvatore Boarding House to meet Elena, who leads him to the cellar where Rebekah lies daggered. Elena uses Rebekah as a bargaining chip in exchange for sparing Jeremy, but Klaus reminds her that he has plenty of ways to get what he wants, including hurting other people she loves. Before she leaves the cellar, Elena reveals that she told Rebekah about how Klaus was the one who killed their mother, not Mikael. Having returned to his mansion with Rebekah, he re-daggers her before she can revive, and returns her to her coffin rather than face her wrath for his betrayal.
In *Our Town*, Stefan visits Klaus and tells him to get his hybrids out of the town. When he doesn't agree, Stefan kills Mindy by decapitating her. Klaus is angry and tells Tyler to bite Caroline but he refuses. Later, Klaus attends the Founder's Council Feast and persuades the Mayor that his hybrids would protect the town. Damon tries to call Elena and Stefan answers; worried about what Elena has to do with Stefan's plans, he tries to convince Klaus Stefan means business. Stefan calls Klaus and threatens to take away his "blood source" by driving Elena off of Wickery Bridge. To prove his point, Stefan forces Elena to drink his blood. Hearing this and Elena pleading with Stefan to slow down, Klaus finally promises to get his hybrids out of Mystic Falls.
After Tyler unwillingly follows Klaus' orders and bites Caroline, he goes to Klaus asking him for help. Klaus goes to the Forbes house to heal Caroline. Liz invites him in and he has a intimate conversation with Caroline about being immortal. Eventually, he feeds Caroline his bloods and says "Happy Birthday". After Caroline wakes up the next morning, Klaus has left but she finds an expensive bracelet made of dozens of diamonds: a gift from Klaus.

 File:00642060819.jpg
In *The Ties That Bind*, Klaus appears in one of Bonnie's dreams as she tries to open the locked coffin. Back in present time Stefan comes home and finds Klaus there, "enjoying" their stalemate. Klaus repeats his demand that Stefan return his family, now that his hybrids left town. It is revealed that he ordered Daniel Warren, a hybrid, to go to the house of Abby Bennett Wilson and handle the situation, which he does by manipulating Abby and her foster son Jamie in order to get Bonnie to reveal the location of the coffins.
Later, after Bonnie finally divulges the location, Klaus arrives at the Witch Burial Ground to find Damon there. After insulting them, the witch spirits torture Klaus until he pushes back by threatening to end the Bennett line. He then commands them to show him the coffins and they do - except the fourth one is missing. He asks Damon where the last one is and he threatens to rip out his heart, but Damon reminds him that the fourth coffin is leverage and Klaus wouldn't kill the person that knows where it is. After the other coffins were moved to his house, Klaus is surprised by Elijah, un-daggered earlier by Damon, standing in front of him after killing a hybrid.

 File:Klaus Mom.jpg   In *Bringing Out The Dead*, Elijah attacks Klaus for having daggered him but Klaus overpowers him and, having pulled the dagger out of their brother Kol, threatens to use it on him. Elijah retorts that he would have to deal with Kol then. Klaus resigns himself to that fact and tells Elijah that Mikael was dead. Surprised to hear of their father's death, Elijah asks why their family remains in the coffins. Klaus asks Elijah to help him get the fourth coffin back from Stefan by reminding him of the oath that they had sworn to one another: **always and forever**. Elijah then organizes a dinner, inviting Stefan and Damon. The brothers tell the Salvatore brother's about the Original Doppelgänger Tatia and their love for her. They eventually offer a deal that, in exchange for the coffin, Klaus will leave Mystic Falls forever, a deal that Elijah deems to be fair.
Klaus later counters with his own offer: Elena's future happiness with a human husband, in exchange for the coffin; this would keep her safe from what he deemed to be a dangerous feud between the Salvatore brothers, and would ensure the continuity of the Petrova bloodline so that he could keep creating hybrids. Stefan refuses the deal. Klaus then grabs him and burns his hand in the flames while Elijah prevents Damon from intervening. Klaus tells Damon to bring him the coffin or he will kill Stefan. Damon complies and Klaus sends Elijah with him. However, Elijah and Damon return soon afterwards, not with the coffin but with the daggers that Elijah had removed from the other Original siblings.
Elijah claims to have learned not to trust Klaus' promises and declares that this will be done on his terms. Kol then appears, followed by Finn, who stabs Klaus in the hand after he tries to seize the dagger. As Klaus tries to run, Rebekah appears and stabs him, saying "This is for our mother". Klaus stumbles back and is caught by Kol. Elijah dismisses Damon and Stefan. Rebekah announces that they are all leaving him. Suddenly Esther walks in the door and tells her children to stop fighting. She tells Klaus to look at her and asks if he knows why she is there. When Klaus suggests that she is probably there to kill him, she says she is there to forgive him, and that she wants them all to be a family again.
In *Dangerous Liaisons*, Esther organizes a ball to celebrate the reunion of their family and asks Klaus who he is going to bring to the event. Klaus decides to send a ball dress as a present to Caroline, along with the invitation and a note to save him a dance. She arrives that evening wearing the dress and the bracelet he had given her for her birthday. She dances the waltz with him while he asks her how she's been doing since her father died, tells her how beautiful she looks in the dress he gave her, and compliments her dancing skills.

 File:Klausandcaroline.png   Klaus later approaches Caroline outside, where she is admiring a horse. Klaus confides that the closest Mikael ever got to killing him was the time he killed Klaus' favorite horse as a warning. Caroline asks whether he had ever thought to talk it out with his father, but Klaus insists his relationship with his father was far more complex than her relationship with hers. She allows this, but changes the subject as an excuse to go inside. Later, Klaus shows Caroline his private art collection. He tells her about his own work and asks if she has been to the Hermitage. When she admits she hasn't really been anywhere like that, he promises to take her anywhere she wants. Caroline chastises Klaus for his extravagance, positing that he wants to create hybrids to be his servants. He deflects her demand that he set Tyler free. She then blames his obsession with creating hybrids and giving expensive gifts on what she thinks is his belief that no one could love him otherwise. Angered, she leaves him alone in the room. At home, Caroline finds a drawing of her with a horse, as well as a note from Klaus thanking her for her honesty.
In *All My Children*, Klaus is with Kol in the house. Rebekah comes home from her one night stand while Klaus sits sketching. Kol says he's bored so he and Klaus leave the room. They head to the Grill where they meet Alaric and Meredith Fell. As a distraction, planned by Damon, Caroline enters the pub but seems displeased to see Klaus and immediately leaves. He follows her outside and dares her to get to know him. They sit together on a bench and talk. Later, after Kol gets neutralized, Klaus feels something in his chest and recognizes something must have happened.

 File:Klauselijahkol.png   He rushes to find Kol, pulls the dagger out and threatens to kill the Salvatores, but Elijah stops him. Together with Kol and Elijah he goes to the Witch Burial Ground, where Esther is performing a spell to kill her children. Klaus orders her to end this or he'll send her back to hell. She responds that she has hated to see how they all shed blood throughout the centuries. After the spell is interrupted thanks to the Salvatores, Esther disappears with Finn. Later, Klaus is burning the pictures he had drawn of Caroline when Rebekah joins him. She says she had hated him when she found out that he killed their mother, but Klaus is the only one who has never left her. She then delivers the shocking news that a sapling of a white oak tree had been planted 300 years after they left the Old World.
In *The Murder of One*, Klaus and Rebekah join forces to get Finn on their side by reuniting him with Sage. He then gets Bonnie to undo Esther's linking spell. He first tries to bribe Bonnie by offering to reunite her with her mother, but when Bonnie refuses, he instead threatens to kill Jeremy. Klaus watches as Rebekah tortures Damon, but they stop when Stefan comes by and offers to trade his white oak stakes for Damon's freedom. Klaus then learns that there are more white oak stakes and that one of them was used to kill Finn.

In *Heart of Darkness*, Klaus wants to get the last remaining white oak stake, and sends Kol to stop Damon and Elena from learning of their bloodline origin. He gets impatient waiting for Alaric's alter-ego to fess up and eventually kills him to speed up the process. Later, once Alaric had divulged its location to Stefan, Klaus sends Rebekah with Alaric to retrieve it, not knowing that Rebekah is possessed by Esther.  File:Klaus 3x20 dance.jpg
In *Do Not Go Gentle*, Esther, while possessing Rebekah, convinces Klaus to go the 1920's dance by telling him that Caroline will be there. At the dance Klaus sees Caroline and Tyler dancing and he interrupts them by asking Tyler where he's been. He then asks Caroline to dance; at first she refuses him, but then Tyler says it's all right. While dancing, Klaus tells her how she would have loved the 1920's and that he will be leaving Mystic Falls that night. After Klaus tries calling Rebekah, Stefan informs him that Esther is back.

 File:Tvd-recap-before-sunset-12.jpg
After Esther is killed, Klaus states angrily that Esther will never be able to stop him and that he will continue to live. In *Before Sunset*, Klaus is informed by Rebekah that Alaric survived, and that the white oak stake has no effect on him. Rebekah wishes to leave, but Klaus states that he will not leave without Elena, causing Rebekah to get angry and state that she won't care even if he does die, before leaving. Klaus then goes to Elena's house to collect her, however Stefan and Damon bar his way. He begins attacking the house from the outside, trying to force them to invite him in, but they manage to repel him. Just as he is about to cause the place to explode, Stefan comes out and says that Alaric has captured both Elena and Caroline and will only give them up if Klaus hands himself over. Klaus initially refuse, but Bonnie comes up with a plan that will allow them to actually succeed. He then agrees, but makes it clear that after this he is taking Elena and leaving. He waits in front of the school-where Alaric has Caroline and Elena-with Stefan and the two talk, Klaus trying to drive a wedge between the brothers again.
When Stefan states that all of Klaus' attempts to break the Salvatore brothers apart has only made their bond stronger, Klaus counters by asking what will happen when Elena finally chooses between them. Then, Bonnie, Damon and Jeremy show up. Bonnie gives the vampires a vial of her blood, saying that once they drink it, all they have to do is make a connection with Alaric's heart, and she will use her magic to stop it, effectively neutralized him. After drinking the blood, Klaus enters the school with the Salvatores.

 File:Klaroline-klaus-and-caroline-31366534-1280-720.jpg
He comes across Caroline and grabs her, keeping her quiet and telling her that she will be fine, and that she must get home as soon as possible, she thanks him then runs. Stefan and Damon restrain Alaric, and Klaus plunges his fingers into his heart, but Alaric manages to get free, break Stefan and Damon's necks and nearly drove his white oak stake through Klaus' heart. Ironically, Elena saved Klaus by threatening to kill herself, deducing that Esther bound Alaric's life to hers so that he could only live one life time. As she prepared to follow through with her threat Alaric went to stop her, freeing Klaus, who then ran off with her.
He then began draining Elena of all her blood, that way gaining enough blood to at least have some hybrids, while also killing off the greatest threat to him. When Elena asks why he is killing her, as he won't have an unlimited army anymore, he states that he doesn't need one as he has his family back. Elena counters saying that they will never truly trust him again, and that he is wants a back up family, which is why he is draining her blood instead of simply snapping her neck. Later, Tyler shows up and tries to free her, but Klaus finds him before he can get Elena out of the house.

 File:Klaustruepersonality.jpg   He asks how Tyler broke the sire bond, and Klaus states that that is impossible, Tyler countering by saying that true love is more important than sire bond induced loyalty. Klaus states that Tyler should be thanking him as he saved Tyler from the misery of life as a werewolf, but Tyler says that Klaus doesn't give a crap about him, he only wanted to not be alone. Klaus then prepares to kill him, but Stefan and Damon arrive. Tyler and Damon restrain Klaus, while Stefan plunges his hand into Klaus' chest, and Bonnie begins her spell again. Klaus looks at Stefan with a mixture of sadness and shock as his life fades away. He is then completely desiccated , and his dead body falls to the floor. Everyone then holds a victory party, and Stefan and Damon later drive off with the purpose of disposing of Klaus' corpse.
In *The Departed*, Damon stores Klaus' coffin in a warehouse outside of Mystic Falls. Bonnie arrives at the warehouse, and Damon tells her that he hid Klaus' coffin in compartment 1020, saying that compartment 666 would be too obvious (666 is the Devil's number, with Damon indicating that Klaus is the Devil). Bonnie and Damon enter the compartment, and open Klaus' coffin. Klaus wakes up from his sleep, but is still in a desiccated state. Bonnie then asks Damon to give her a moment alone with Klaus, saying that she wants to appreciate the sight of him like this. After Damon leaves, Bonnie tells him that he should burn in hell.

 File:The-Vampire-Diaries-S3x22-Alaric-killed-Klaus.jpg
However, she knows that if he dies, so does her mother and friends, and she questions him what she is supposed to do about that. Off-screen, Bonnie saves Klaus from Alaric by performing a spell that transferred his spirit into Tyler Lockwood's body and possibly preserve his physical form. Later, Alaric shows up at the warehouse, catching Damon off guard. He demands to know Klaus' location, and Damon tells him that he stored in one of the compartments. Rebekah later shows up to retrieve Klaus' coffin. Rebekah and Damon try to sneak Klaus out of the warehouse, but are caught by Alaric. Alaric slams Rebekah against the car and tosses her aside. Damon tries to stop Alaric from opening Klaus' coffin, but fails. Alaric does so, and brandishing the White Oak Stake, plunges the weapon into Klaus' heart. Klaus gasps in pain and bursts into flames, Rebekah screaming in horror. Damon gives Rebekah time to escape Alaric.
Afterward you see Bonnie talking to Tyler and realize she put a spell on him to transition his "soul" in with Tyler. He tells her that she did the spell brilliantly and he didn't think she had it in her as she tells him she did it to protect her friends and her mother.

 File:S4ep1p53.png
In the season premiere, *Growing Pains*, Klaus, still in Tyler's body, is still in hiding. Bonnie tells him that their agreement was for him to jump into another body, however Klaus learning that his body is still intact, he wants her to put him back in his body. Bonnie tells him she can't right away as she has to use her magic to attempt to bring Elena back to life. Klaus informs her that Elena is no longer his concern, but is convinced to let Bonnie try to save Elena in order to keep the Petrova Doppelgänger bloodline alive. While waiting, Mrs. Lockwood calls on Tyler's phone and informs Klaus of Caroline being taken. He rescues Caroline, but leaves Rebekah, to "keep them busy" calling her little sister, revealing that he is really Klaus.

 File:S4ep1p4.png
After escaping Caroline is happy to see that Tyler is still alive and the two begin making out, however Klaus calls her "love" which leads Caroline to realize that it is really Klaus. They find Bonnie to complete the spell and while she originally refuses to use the dark magic needed, Klaus begins ripping Tyler's heart out, forcing Bonnie to do the spell.
Later that night, now back in his body, he returns to his home to get the last of Elena's blood, when Rebekah arrives upset that he saved Caroline, but not her. Rebekah upset over his betrayal and her realization that he will always choose his hybrids over her, destroys the blood bags. He grabs her and tells her that they are no longer family, he snaps her neck and leaves her on the floor unconscious.

 File:4x03-03.jpg
In *The Rager*, Carol Lockwood calls Klaus and his last remaining hybrids back to Mystic Falls to serve as protection for Tyler. Although Klaus no longer cares, he isn't willing to let one of the few hybrids he has left die. He later meets Hayley, a werewolf who helped Tyler overcome his sire-bond, and discovers that Tyler has been keeping things from Caroline, thinking Tyler had an affair with Hayley while she helped him break the sire-bond. He joins Damon in the trapping and interrogation of Connor Jordan, where he discovers that Connor is part of a mysterious group of vampire hunters known as the Five. He then saves Connor from the explosion and also saves Elena from the werewolf venom she had drunk, claiming that she could be of some use to him after all.

 File:VD404b0056b-585307833092968177.jpg
In *The Five*, Klaus is first seen in the Mystic Grill when Rebekah was flirting on Matt and he told her she was trying to hard. He tried to get her to work with him after he told her that the Brotherhood of the Five still existed, but she was still mad at him for what had happened. He was later seen talking to Connor, who was tied up in his mansion, asking him for information. When Stefan entered, Klaus started telling him about the past. He remembers he was in Italy talking to his brother Elijah, when Alexander, one of the Five, showed in front of everyone a vampire, killing him by exposing him to sunlight, but Klaus didn't feel threatened by him. He later convinced Stefan to get Rebekah to his mansion, which he did. The three of them were having dinner when Klaus and Rebekah continue telling Stefan of when Alexander and the other members of the Five, who originally owned the White Oak Ash Daggers, daggered all of the siblings, but due to Klaus' werewolf side, it didn't work on him.

 File:Rebekah Klaus 4x04 (7).jpg
He killed all of the Five and undaggered his siblings, except for Finn. They told Stefan about the existence of The Cure, and Klaus said that the Hunter's Mark tattoo on Connor was going to lead them to it. He brought in Jeremy and ordered him to draw Connor's tattoo since he was the only one who saw it. Then Rebekah got angry after Klaus tells her he still didn't trust her and left. When Klaus later sees Jeremy drawing of the tattoo, he gets angry because Jeremy didn't do all of it, but he tells him that it grew each time he killed a vampire, and it wasn't complete yet. He then calls in Nate, one of his hybrids, and tells him to tell the girl to take Jeremy home and told Nate to make sure Connor stayed there and alive. Finally, he was seen again when Rebekah went to the Salvatore Boarding House to talk to Stefan, and he calls Rebekah a hopeless fool for loving too much, and daggers her.

 File:Klaus in Italy.png
In *The Killer*, Klaus was in Italy digging up Alexander's sword. He was first seen when Stefan was talking to him on the phone, telling him that Connor had escaped. He pointed out that Connor had werewolf venom, and since he was halfway around the world, he couldn't cure anyone since they had no access to his blood. He orders Stefan to make sure that Connor is kept alive at all cost, and also warned him to not tell Damon about The Cure.
He was later seen again when they had managed to find the sword. Tyler calls him and tells him that sending Dean to confront Connor was a suicide mission and that he should stop him, but Klaus threatened to tell Caroline about what he thought that Tyler had done with Hayley, so Tyler hung up and told Dean he could do it.

 File:Vlcsnap-2012-11-16-10h54m52s5.png
In *We All Go a Little Mad Sometimes*, Klaus was seen at the Lockwood Mansion along with his Hybrids, drinking in honor of Dean's death. Then after Caroline came to return all of Tyler's things and broke up with Tyler in front of him, he left the place with his hybrids to give them time alone. But as soon he left, it was revealed that Caroline, Hayley and Tyler faked it. Meanwhile, Klaus called Stefan and taunted him about ruining his plans for a hybrid filled future and asked him how Elena was doing with her hallucinations. Stefan asked him how he knew about that, and Klaus reminded Stefan that he had killed the original members of The Five, so he knew about it. Then he asked Stefan where he was. Stefan said he was at Elena's place. Klaus also came there and Stefan came out to talk to him. Klaus suggested for Stefan to hand over Elena, or else she'll kill herself before the end of the day. Meanwhile, Elena was hallucinating again and fled from the house, and Klaus took that opportunity to carry her away. Then Klaus put Elena in a windowless room. He said it was for her protection else she would take off her daylight ring and burn herself to death.

 File:Vlcsnap-2012-11-16-10h57m17s177.png
When Elena said she would never do that Klaus told her she would want to kill herself as he had once and he had to bear the torture for nearly 52 years. But when she asked him how he stopped it and he said it stopped on it's own. Later, according to Stefan's plan to rescue Elena from Klaus, Caroline came to distract Klaus when he was drinking at the Mystic Grill. Klaus offered Caroline a drink and asked her about the break up, but she brushed him off saying that wasn't his business. Then Klaus said that he would never allow Tyler to hurt her if Tyler was sired to him. Stefan texted everything to Caroline after losing Elena again. Caroline then confessed to Klaus what she was really doing and told him that they figured out a way to end the Hunter's Curse. Then Klaus arrived at the Lockwood Mansion when Chris was about to leave. He let Jeremy kill Chris, and the Hunter's Curse was broken. Later it was revealed that Klaus gave up one hybrid, (Chris), after Caroline agreed to go on a date with him.

 File:H058a-n29-vam1-10-08.jpg
In *My Brother’s Keeper*, Klaus was first seen when Stefan was in the woods alone and Klaus came up behind him and threatened him for telling Damon about the Cure. He ordered him to help Jeremy complete his Hunter's Mark, or he would give him up as a victim himself to Jeremy. He was later seen when Caroline was organizing the Miss Mystic Falls Ceremony and he asked her at what time he should pick her up for their date to following day. When she refused the date, he reminded her that he was promised a date in return of one of his hybrids, so she had to agree. He was later seen at the pageant when Caroline was complaining about how the ceremony was going when he came up to her and asked how he was, and she said perfect, despite him being so annoying that she can't even look at him. He pointed out that Tyler and Hayley where there together, leaving her confused.

He was later seen when Caroline and Elena were arguing and he came to stop Caroline because she was making a scene, and he told her to go with him to have some champagne. They were on a bench together and they were talking about being human, and when Caroline asked Klaus if he wanted to be human, he asked why he would rather be human instead of being one of the most powerful creatures on earth. Then, he started joking with Caroline, reading out her previous Miss Mystic Falls application, and she was trying to stop him. They were laughing together. Later, he came up to Caroline and told her that he once wanted to be a human. He had seen a hummingbird, with it's heart pattering like a machine gun, and he realized how beautiful it was to work hard every day to survive and the feeling of satisfaction every day for surviving.

 File:Klaus at his mansion.png
In *O Come, All Ye Faithful*, Klaus was first seen in his mansion drawing a painting of a giant snowflake to donate for the Winter Wonderland charity event and later told Adrian to take it to the Mystic Grill. Stefan came up to him and asked him about when they were going to find the cure, and he told him that he had done his part by finding the sword, now Stefan had to do his part by helping Jeremy complete his mark. Stefan told him that he didn't trust him about finding his sword, so Klaus showed it to him from the safe. He was later seen in the Mystic Grill when Caroline was looking at his painting and he came up to her to talk to her. He said she liked his painting, and he then offered to have some champagne together. At first she refused, but then she agreed, and asked her if that was their thing (having champagne together) and she replied they didn't have thing. It was shown that Tyler was planning to put Klaus in his body and then they would him in concrete. Hayley said that she had found the witch to perform to spell. They wanted to get rid of Klaus. Later, the plan had changed to put Klaus in Rebekah's daggered body. Klaus was later seen at night at the party when Stefan came up to him. He told him that he had broken in his mansion to find the sword, which he didn't, but instead he found his victims' letters, which he replied that it was his way of keeping a reminder that in the end we're left infinitely and utterly alone, which was like his way of writing his victims' names on the wall. Klaus saw Adrian and left with him.

 File:Klaus holding adrian's heart.png
He was later seen when Kimberley and the other hybrids were waiting for the witch, and Klaus showed up with Adrian and pulled his heart out. He started killing all the hybrids with the hunter's sword, and the last one left was Kimberley. She tried to run away in the Lockwood Cellar, but he followed her and asked her if she knew where Tyler was. She said that she didn't, and so he killed her by decapitation. It was revealed that Hayley didn't really have a witch, and she wanted Klaus the kill the 12 hybrids for the sacrifice.

 File:Klaus talking to carol.png
At the last scene of the episode, Carol was the last one left at the party and was waiting for Tyler to pick her up. She sat down on the fountain, and Klaus came up to her, telling her that he was also looking for Tyler to have a word with him. Carol begged him not to hurt Tyler since he was her son and the only thing she had. He told her that she was also all that he had, and it was a beautiful symmetry. So, he grabbed her and drowned her in the fountain, killing her.

In *After School Special*, Klaus visited the lake house to check up on Jeremy's progress in growing his mark only to find that he hadn't killed any vampires since he was too busy being trained by Damon. Klaus chastised Damon for this, saying that there was a whole town of people he could turn into vampires that Jeremy could kill but Damon wanted to make sure Jeremy was all trained up before he began. Klaus managed to convince Damon that his way would be the most efficient and then proceeded to turn all of the townspeople, enjoying a quiet drink while the entire town was starting to transition.

 File:KlausPhine4x11.jpg
In *Catch Me If You Can*, he returned to the bar where Klaus had massacred those innocents so Jeremy could kill them all after they'd transitioned and grow his mark.. Elena went to see Klaus to beg him to call off Kol. She convinced him that they were all on the same team to a point -- Team Cure Should Be Found. They only differed on how to use it. So Klaus called Kol and told him to stay away from Jeremy, and if causes any more trouble, he'd end up back in a box. Kol agreed that he wouldn't touch Jeremy but compelled Damon to kill Jeremy. Later, Klaus saved Rebekah from Kol almost killing her. Which shows that he still cares about his little sister. We also had to see Klaus come to Elena's to demand he house Jeremy now that Kol will undoubtedly come after him again. Elena and Jeremy opted for Jeremy to stay at their house, where at least Kol couldn't get in but he noted that his brother could burn it down. Klaus told Elena to tell when Kol returns, and he told Jeremy there was no shortage of people to turn or loved ones to threaten, so they'd finish their work on the mark the next day.

 File:VD412HD 0068.jpg
In *A View to a Kill*, Klaus comes to Rebekah's house to momentarily unite their teams against Kol, who now has the white oak stake as well as Klaus’ set of daggers. Klaus knew Rebekah has the last dagger and some white ash, and he wanted it so he could put Kol back in a box. Rebekah didn’t want to leave herself unprotected, so she told Klaus to get gone. Klaus asked Stefan to talk some sense into her: If they dagger Kol, Damon will no longer be compelled to kill Jeremy, and the hunt for the cure could continue.

 File:VD412HD 0788.jpg
Stefan apparently agreed to the Original's proposal, but only on the condition that he takes Stefan's place as Damon's "babysitter" at the Salvatore House while Stefan tries to persuade Rebekah. He is later seen with Stefan visiting Damon at his confinement.
Stefan told Klaus to give Damon a vial of blood every couple of hours so he doesn't desiccate. He gave him permission to bleed him out again, if needed. Damon told Klaus that Stefan was still mad at him for sleeping with Elena, and Klaus told Damon about catching Stefan sneaking out of Rebekah's bed. Klaus was inside the cellar with Damon villain-bonding. Klaus asked Damon how he gets Elena to overlook every horrible thing he's done: "What is it you say to her?" Damon knew what this was about: Klaus is afraid Caroline won't forgive him for killing Carol Lockwood. Damon gave him a real answer: Damon is the bad guy to things get done, Klaus is a bad guy just to be a dick. "If you're gonna be bad, be bad with purpose; otherwise, you're just not worth forgiving."
Damon and Klaus, the latter of whom was infuriated by Stefan’s lack of communication. "It's one of his trademarks, like his brooding and his hair," Damon said. Klaus entertained himself trying to wind Damon up. He pointed out how Stefan had fought so hard to fight Klaus' compulsion to feed on Elena that he was able to momentarily beat it. Whereas Damon couldn’t resist Kol's to kill Jeremy. Damon may love Elena, Klaus said, but will Elena see that Stefan is the greater love when they find the cure? Klaus thinks that's what'll happen, and he believes Damon does, too. Kol called Klaus at that moment. He assumed that Klaus was in on this plan to kill him. Klaus, meanwhile, freaked out and asked Damon what Stefan and Elena were planning. Damon genuinely didn’t know. Klaus thought he’d compelled Damon to stay in the cellar, but Damon had been drinking that bottled water Stefan gave him, which had vervain in it.
When Jeremy staked Kol, Klaus had shown up, just in time to see Kol ablaze. He had tears and anger in his eyes. Elena tried to play it off like they had no choice, but Klaus knew they'd set a trap for Kol if he was even inside the house. He said he was going to set the house on fire and kill them when they fled. Jeremy said Klaus would never get the cure then for Elena to make more hybrids. Klaus let something slip: He didn't want the cure so he could make hybrids. He wanted it so he could destroy it. He was going to kill them all as soon as he found it. Before he could make good on his arson threat, Bonnie showed up. She crippled him, then told Jeremy to invite him in. She put up magical barriers to keep Klaus trapped there.

 File:500PX-~1.jpg
In *Into the Wild*, Klaus was still trapped in the Gilbert house, forced to stare at his little brother's charred body. Tyler showed up, still furious with Klaus for killing his mother. He was gloating, telling Klaus that the others would find the cure and when they did, Tyler was going to shove it down Klaus' throat and kill him in whatever way he pleased. Klaus told him that he couldn't be sure that he wouldn't die too, since he was part of his bloodline but Tyler seemed certain that once Klaus was human again, all the vampires in his bloodline would no longer be connected to him. Caroline arrived and after chastising Tyler for baiting Klaus, covered Kol's body with a tarp, relieving Klaus of having to look at his brother's body. When Caroline showed Klaus that she had now given up on him, not feeling sorry at all for him, Klaus struck quickly, pulling her up to him before biting her. His hybrid bite was fatal too her so she hastily began developing symptoms and slowly dying. Klaus told Tyler that he wanted an apology for turning his hybrids and on him and after some deliberation, Tyler did so but Klaus still didn't heal Caroline. It was only after she told him that she knew there was still a bit of humanity in him that Klaus reconsidered and healed Caroline.

 File:493px-Tumblr mheux1Ok1e1qb2ergo3 1280.jpg
In *Down the Rabbit Hole*, Klaus remained stuck behind Bonnie's barriers while Caroline was on the phone with Elena, trying to figure out where the sword was. Caroline and Tyler, knowing Klaus wouldn't be going anywhere, found the sword at his house and brought it back to the Gilbert's. They found secret messages beneath the hilt of the sword that Klaus decrypted in an ancient language. It revealed that there was only one dose of the cure. Knowing that with one dose, they wouldn't be using it on Klaus, Tyler decided to flee and go into hiding, knowing full well that Klaus would kill him the moment he was free. Caroline pleaded with Klaus to let Tyler go and after some persuasion, Klaus submitted but only that he'd give Tyler a head start.

 File:KlausHybrid.png
In *Bring It On*, Klaus saves Hayley from a vampire sent by Katherine to take her out for her part in the cure hunt. Klaus promises Hayley protection in exchange for her revealing to him all she knows about Katherine. Back in Mystic Falls, Klaus is visited by Damon who reveals that he knows about Hayley and wants to talk to her. Klaus refuses, although he does tell Damon about the vampire he attacked and that, due to the hybrid bite, does not have long to live. Klaus is later seen interrogating Hayley, after feeding her and she starts to reveal both her link to Katherine and her motivation: her desire to find her birth family led her to Katherine who promised that she could help if Hayley told her about the hunt for the cure. Klaus, enjoying the time spent with Hayley, then shows her his paintings and explains some of his motivations about art, namely his desire for control which he can channel through painting. Hayley then tries to convince Klaus to call off his hunt for Tyler, revealing that it wasn't resolve but the help of other people which would provide Tyler with his ability to escape him, just as Katherine had for five hundred years. Klaus later receives word from Rebekah that Hayley's attacker had been killed by Damon. He then tells Hayley that she can leave or stay. Hayley then reveals her liking for one of his paintings, saying that she liked it because it showed her how twisted Klaus really was, and that she could relate to it. The two then begin to make out before having sex. As Hayley is getting dressed, Klaus notices a birth mark on her right shoulder and reveals that the mark was common to all the members of a werewolf clan in Louisiana. Hayley asks him to tell her about her birth family.

 File:The Vampire Diaries S04E17.jpg
In *Because the Night*, Klaus arrives at the Salvatore House where Caroline is cleaning up after the previous night's party. She is still sore about the events of that night, namely Elena's attack on both her and her mother. She is also angry at Klaus for refusing to call off his quest to kill Tyler and refuses to forgive him. Stefan then arrives and reveals that he believes that Silas had followed them back to Mystic Falls. Klaus, although originally not interested, is alarmed when Stefan and Caroline reveal Silas' plans to bring down the Other Side, which would bring back every single one of Klaus' dead enemies. They raid Shane's office to find information about the Expression Triangle of massacres that he is trying to perform. During the search, Klaus and Caroline continue their bickering and Klaus states his belief that every person, no matter how pure their heart is, will be drawn to the dark. Caroline then finds out that the Triangle required three distinct massacres: a human one, a demon one (hence the massacre of the hybrids), and a witch massacre. Realizing Silas' plans, they deduce the location of the final massacre at two potential location and split up to find them. Caroline accompanies Klaus and they continuously bicker, leading Klaus to ask her why she went with him instead of Stefan. She says that she doesn't want him to kill Bonnie (who is working with Silas) when they find her. However, they are not at the right spot. When they join Stefan, they discover a coven of 12 witches led by Aja trying to purge Bonnie of the Expression magic by killing her. Stefan tries to save her but Klaus won't let him because this would call for the death of the linked witches, which would perform the final massacre. However, Caroline kills Aja, and the other witches to save her friend, despite Klaus' attempts to stop her.
Klaus later buries the witches and is shown to be angry at a distraught Caroline for performing the final massacre. Caroline tries to defend her actions by saying that she couldn't let Bonnie die but then realizes what she has done. Klaus then tells her that she needs comforting but he refuses to comfort her himself because of her words to him in the day and her actions that night. After Caroline leaves, Klaus is surprised to find Silas at the site, thanking him for performing the massacre. Silas then offers Klaus a deal: they can find the cure together and Silas will take it to accomplish his goals and therefore ensure that Klaus while not be at the receiving end of the cure. Klaus then boasts that he isn't scared of Silas, despite his age. However, Silas reveals that he stole the White Oak Stake from Rebekah and that he knows it is the only thing that can kill him. Klaus tries to attack Silas but the ancient immortal is much faster than him and stakes him from behind with the stake, breaking off the tip inside him, badly injuring Klaus before leaving him in severe pain.

 File:747904258.jpg
In *American Gothic*, Klaus was trying to get the piece of the white oak stake was still inside his back in a spot he could not reach. Caroline arrived. She touched his face. Instead, she said, "As much as I'd love to watch you die, you still haven't found me that cure." It was Silas. He can take the shape of whomever he wants you to see.

 File:747904033.jpg
Klaus was sweaty and cowering on the floor when Caroline came in again. He started to think it was the real her when she quipped about how she should be running three prom committees at that moment. He told her about the white oak stake, and since he was hurt, she was the person to call. She found that hard to follow: He ran Tyler out-of-town and killed his mother. But, Klaus reminded her, if he dies, Caroline and everyone she knows dies. She had to help. He told her she'd need to cut the stake out of him. Caroline was having a difficult time getting the stake out of Klaus. Caroline finally smartened up: If Klaus wants her help, he's gonna have to let Tyler come back and promise not to kill him. Klaus could feel the splinters moving toward his heart and begged Caroline to help him, but she wouldn't until he promised not to hurt Tyler. He wouldn't do that because Tyler tried to kill him, but yeah, Caroline's right, Klaus has tried to kill most of them. This turned into a conversation about trust being the foundation of friendship, and Caroline angrily yelling that she should've turned her back on Klaus ages ago. That was a punch to the gut, but silver lining, Klaus' pain was gone. Silas had gotten into his head and made him think he was dying. Caroline had taken Klaus' mind off of it enough to break the spell, apparently. Seriously, if Silas can make Klaus think he's croaking, then what can he do to the rest of them?
Caroline was ready to call it a night after using all of Klaus' bleach to clean up. He thanked her for her help. She poked his chest when she told him if he needs anything else not to call her because she has a prom to plan. "Friends?" he asked. She asked if he was letting Tyler come back to town. He didn't answer, at first. But he did then say she might have noticed that he's not exactly scouring the earth for Tyler. She smiled a bit. So did he.
In *Pictures of You*, at Klaus' mansion, he and Rebekah tried to convince Elijah who should get the cure, and again, provide a little recap: Silas will torment Klaus until he gets it, but he'll also open the floodgates so every dead supernatural being returns to our side. Rebekah really wants to be human. Elijah, being sensible as always, told Klaus his personal discomfort wasn't enough of a reason to put the world in jeopardy. Klaus' smile turned to a frown when Elijah agreed to give Rebekah a shot at happiness, and he told Rebekah when she's dying and asking for his life-saving blood, he'll deny her and compel her to forget him.

 File:Klauscaroline4x199.jpg
When Caroline showed up, Klaus laughed at Caroline, obviously, but couldn't resist her when she smiled and begged him to go into his "creepy trophy chest of family collectibles" and find her a gown that would make her look "Princess Grace of Monaco" hot to which he did. Rebekah had given Elijah the white oak stake, and Elijah presented it to Klaus as a peace-offering. Now Klaus had nothing to fear -- except Silas' torment. Elijah said Klaus could outrun Silas if he had to, and that naturally made Klaus think of Katherine. Elijah asked Klaus to let him have this opportunity to feel and to love and Klaus refused. If he doesn't the get cure and ends up running, he's headed to kill her. He'll make sure Elijah is never happy.
Klaus had decided to go to the prom for some unknown reason and saw what had just happened. Rebekah argued that she'd acted with human decency and Klaus said no, the most human thing in that moment would have been if she could stomach standing by watching April die knowing she couldn't help her. Before this episode ended, he a letter from Katherine telling him about a witch in New Orleans plotting a move against him.

 File:Klausmeetsawitch.jpg
In *The Originals*, Klaus travels to New Orleans, concluding Katherine's letter about the witch planning a move against him. Once in New Orleans he finds a real witch amongst a group of fakes, he asks this witch where he can find Jane-Anne Deveraux, the witch tells Klaus she cannot tell Klaus where she is or it would be breaking one of Marcel's rules. Klaus then asks this witch were he can find Marcel.

 File:The Originals 4.jpg   Klaus goes to a pub to find his progeny Marcel, who is singing on stage. When Marcel has finished he goes to celebrate with his buddy's and spots Klaus in the corner of his eye. Klaus and Marcel start to argue before celebrating Klaus' return. Klaus is Marcel's sire, and Marcel has shared the secret of the daylight ring with his inner circle, who he considers family. How did he get witches to make them rings? Marcel said he has the witches wrapped around his finger. Klaus said he was looking for Jane-Anne. "Show time," Marcel said.
Marcel led Klaus and his inner circle on a walk through the city, where we saw vampires on balconies and rooftops. It was unnerving even before we realized there really was a mob mentality. They'd all gathered because Marcel was going to confront Jane-Anne about practicing witchcraft beyond the bounds of the rules set forth and enforced by him. She denied it, but he's aware of the witches' every move -- they can't do anything without getting caught. Marcel then killed her and before she died, Jane-Anne had exchanged looks with Klaus, who seemed disturbed by Marcel's display. Klaus was angry that Marcel had killed her before he could find out what she'd wanted with him. Marcel said he never wastes an opportunity for a show of force -- a lesson he'd learned from Klaus. He told Klaus he'd find out what Jane-Anne had wanted for him. Klaus asked if Jane-Anne had a sister.

 File:Vampire-Originals.jpg
He went to see Sophie, who was crying. She wouldn't talk to Klaus because two of Marcel's men had followed him. Klaus threatened to rip their spines out, then dropped a $100 bill so the blonde we'd later learn is bar-tending psychology student Cami could serve them. Klaus had gone to a wild party filled with vampires feeding on humans and dancing badly. He spotted a guy with a day ring, which means he's inner circle, and asked him where Marcel was. Klaus threatened him when he said he only answers to Marcel. Marcel broke it up and said nobody harms his guys. Klaus told him he doesn't need chaperons, and Marcel asked Klaus to just let the witch hunt go. They went out on a balcony, and Marcel explained that more hotels meant more tourists, which meant more fresh blood. He'd taught humans to look away. Klaus wanted to know how Marcel knows when the witches are using magic. Marcel wasn't telling. Marcel chose that moment to take vervain. He wants to limit the number of things he's vulnerable to. He's full of himself, which is why when they spotted clueless Cami walking alone at night below. If she was brave, he'd let her live, and if she was dumb, she was dessert but she proved to be brave. Elijah suddenly appeared on the balcony and told Klaus he'd found out who was conspiring against him. He took him to Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, where Sophie was waiting. "He's all yours. Proceed," Elijah said. She told Klaus that Marcel was out of control and she's going to stop him with his help. Hayley was brought out, and told Klaus he needed to listen to Sophie. Klaus laughed. How could they think this one night stand meant anything to him. That's when Sophie said she has a special gift, which is telling when women are pregnant. Hayley is carrying Klaus' child.

 File:Klaus and Elijah TO.jpg
Klaus said vampires can't procreate, which is true. But Sophie said he was born a werewolf -- magic made him a vampire. So he's nature's loophole. Klaus blew up at Hayley telling her to admit she'd been with someone else. Hayley said she definitely would have confessed to sleeping around if she had, because it would have gotten her out of being captive. The baby is his. Sophie said Jane-Anne died performing the spell to confirm the pregnancy, and because of her sacrifice, the lives of Hayley and the baby are now controlled by them. If Klaus doesn't help them take out Marcel, Hayley dies. Elijah offered to kill Marcel, but Sophie said they have rules (and a timeline) that must be followed. Before Klaus could leave, Elijah told him to listen. Klaus could hear the baby's heartbeat. He finally said, "Kill her and the baby. What do I care?" Then, he stormed out. When Elijah caught up to him, Klaus insisted it was a trick. But Elijah saw it as a chance to take everything back. Here, now, is a chance for Klaus, Rebekah, and Elijah to have what they always wanted -- a family. "*This is us. The Original family," Elijah said. "And we remain together, always and forever*." Elijah said he was asking Klaus to stay there. He'd help him, stand by his side. He'd be his brother and they'd build a home together. "Save this girl, save your child," he said. His response: "No."
Klaus went back to see Marcel, again wanting to know how he controls the witches. They had a pissing match during which Marcel called New Orleans HIS TOWN. He's the one who got rid of the wolves, silenced the witches, and made people look the other way. "I'm not the prince of the Quarter, friend... I'm the king!" he yelled. "Show me some respect." To establish his dominance, Klaus bit one of the inner circle. He told Marcel he'd broken one of his rules and guess what, he cannot be killed because he's truly immortal. Klaus smiled and left.
Klaus walked to Jackson Square, where there was live music and painting. He spotted Cami, admiring the same artist. She doesn't paint, but she interprets art: Every artist has a story, she said. This one was angry, dark, doesn't feel safe, and doesn't know what to do about it. He wished he could control his demons instead of them controlling him. He was lost and alone. Klaus was emotionally fragile enough from a truly confusing evening that he nearly burst into tears.

 File:The-originals-pilot-vampire-diaries-spinoff-episode-stills-6.jpg
He'd gone to sit on a bench alone and think. So naturally, Elijah joined him. They talked about how they'd both hated leaving New Orleans -- it was one of the few places they'd ever been happy. "What is on your mind, brother?" Elijah asked. The walls were coming down. It was a different kind of scene than we've ever seen between them.  File:01134.jpg   Klaus said for 1,000 years, he lived in fear of settling in a town and having their father chase him out, which made him feel powerless. This town was his home, and in his absence, Marcel has gotten everything Klaus wanted -- power, loyalty, family. Klaus wants what he has. "I want to be king," he said. And what about Hayley and the baby? "Every king needs an heir," Klaus said. Later, Klaus gave his blood to cure the bitten vampire and said he'd like to stay in Marcel's city for a while if he's still welcome. He is.
In his last scene, he was on a street corner and left Caroline a message. He just said he was standing in his favorite place and hoped one day she'd let him show it to her.
Silas pretended to be Klaus in *She's Come Undone*, taunting Caroline in order to lure Bonnie out of hiding.

 File:Klausgraduation4x3223.jpg
In *Graduation*, he saves Caroline, Stefan and Elena from the 12 witches that Caroline had killed. The night after graduation, Klaus and Caroline have a moment. He tells Caroline that Tyler is free to return to Mystic Falls. In the most charming moment of the night, Klaus points out that Tyler is Caroline's first love. Klaus intends to be her last however long it takes. Then he escorts her home. This will mark his final appearance in the show for now.

 File:Tumblr mzibqgNv6V1t1477ao1 1280.jpg
Klaus made his return to Mystic Falls in *500 Years of Solitude*. While Caroline is searching for Matt, she is reunited with Klaus. Klaus wanted to talk to Caroline, but she had no time to chat because Matt was buried alive. "I literally just whooshed at the sight of your face," she told him, using her vamp speed to get away from him. But of course he could keep up. He told her that Damon had let him know that Katherine had taken a tragic turn, so Caroline correctly assumed that he'd come to gloat. He also heard that Caroline and Tyler had broken up. She confirmed it was because Tyler had chosen his revenge fantasy against Klaus over her. Klaus wanted to know if he were to abandon his revenge against Katherine, would Caroline offer him the same choice as Tyler? Meaning, her. Caroline didn't want him to distract her when Matt's life was in danger, but Klaus assured her that he'd heard Matt's call for help and that Matt would be happy with his rescuer.

 File:Klarolinekiss.jpg
Caroline and Klaus continued their walk in the woods, and he told her he'd leave Mystic Falls without gloating over Katherine's corpse in return for one small thing. He admits the real reason he’s returned. He wanted a confession. About him. He said as soon as they were done there, he was going to leave and never come back. She'd never have to again cover their connection with hostility and revulsion or loathe the darkest parts of herself that care about him despite all that he's done. He just wanted her to be honest with him. Caroline reminded him of her being in college and her future plans did not involve him whatsoever. Hurt, Klaus understood; but Caroline said he didn't and that he's right about her covering up what she wants. If he was serious about walking away and never coming back, she'd be honest about what that was. After making his promise, Caroline kisses Klaus, further leading to a passionate moment in the woods between them.

In *Moonlight on the Bayou*, Caroline, in a flashforward of three years from now, comes looking for Klaus in New Orleans, at St. James Infirmary with the twins. But the bartender - Sylvia, tells her that nobody had seen or heard from him for three years.

In present day, Klaus appears to Stefan in the St. James infirmary bar. He tells the bartender from the flashforward that Stefan is an old friend from Mystic Falls, and they start catching up - with Klaus aware of the situation in Mystic Falls, telling Stefan it was very noble of him to help the human faction as he did, and asking how Caroline is. Stefan then tells Klaus about the Heretics, the twins that Caroline gave birth to, and so on.

 File:714-086-Stefan-Klaus.jpg
Klaus is doubtful that Caroline will just hand over the babies to Alaric without so much as a second thought. Stefan, who earlier got a phone call from his brother about the "werewolf predicament" he is in, asked Klaus if he could spare some blood for them. But just then, Stefan's wound starts to bleed through his shirt, and Klaus becomes enraged when he sees the X-shaped blood stain on Stefan's chest. He is saying that it's the mark of the Phoenix Sword, and reprove Stefan for making an enemy out of Rayna Cruz. Stefan is stunned when he realizes that Klaus know of Rayna, and finally tells Klaus the truth - that he is in town to hide from her. Klaus gets angry at Stefan for luring a huntress to a town full of vampires. He tells him that Rayna was born in N.O.L.A, and that she will find him no matter where he runs to. Stefan begs for Klaus' help, but the latter tells him to leave the city, or he will kill him himself for his lies. By accident, Stefan forgets his phone on the table, and Klaus answers Caroline, who just then called Stefan.

 File:714-131-Stefan-Klaus.jpg
He talks to her and helps calming her down. Even offering his daughter old clothes, and a parenthood advice. He then offered his condolences to her for the loss of her mother, and she seemed touched by this. She makes him promise to protect Stefan, and gets surprised when the baby fall asleep like Klaus suggested. Klaus then saves Stefan by killing Rayna, and says that then need to leave as they are on werewolf territory in the Full Moon. Klaus then says that he will give him a ride to the train station, and the two have an honest conversation about their older brothers, Caroline, and love. Klaus then reveals he is taking Stefan to see a witch who might help him with his Rayna problem.
In *I Was Feeling Epic*, Klaus leaves Caroline a generous donation of three million dollars along with a letter that read: "Dearest Caroline, I have often imagined the paths your life might take, but your chosen future is more noble than I ever fathomed. Please accept this contribution to your virtuous cause. I do look forward to thanking you in person someday. However long it takes. Yours, Klaus" was sent to the Salvatore Boarding School.

In *Always and Forever*, Klaus is first seen during a flashback to the early 18th century. A crew is searching through an "abandoned" ship and finds the two coffins containing Klaus' neutralized brothers, Finn and Kol. Elijah and Rebekah appear, the latter having fed on and killed members of the crew, before introducing themselves. Klaus, suddenly appearing at the top of the stairs with a dead body in his arms and blood on his mouth, laughs with Rebekah about "leaving the best til last". In regards to introducing them, Rebekah retorts by calling him a beast as Klaus tosses the corpse down the stairs.
In the present, Elijah arrives in New Orleans in an attempt to find his brother and he heads into the bar Rousseau's, in which he strikes up conversation with the human barmaid. He tells her about his brother's paranoia that people are conspiring against him and asks if she knows of Jane-Anne Deveraux. Elijah, after finding out about Jane-Anne's execution, demands to know what she wanted with Niklaus from her sister; Sophie.

 File:Klaus becomes a Hybrid for the first time TO 1x01.jpg
As Sophie tells her of Niklaus' predicament, Elijah soon meets Hayley and uses his tactile telepathy in order to show her memories of his human days. He shows her the night that Henrik died, when Klaus carried his body back to the village. He also shows her after their transition, he, Niklaus and their father, Mikael were in the woods when Klaus suddenly dropped, screaming in agony as he began to transform into a wolf, indicating he had recently made his first kill. Later, flashbacks show Mikael and Elijah tying Klaus to a wooden pole as their mother, Esther, cast a spell to suppress Klaus' werewolf side.

Klaus is first seen in the present standing upon a balcony as Elijah appears behind him, telling him he has found out who is conspiring against him.

As he leaves, he snarls for them to kill Hayley and the baby. Elijah follows him outside in order to get him to change his mind. Elijah's words don't pacify him and he continues to deny the pregnancy and that it will not give him power, and that he isn't willing to be manipulated by the witches.
Klaus is then later seen with Marcel, observing the courtyard, the vampire's and loud music. He converses with Marcel over trivial matters, however begins to grow increasingly annoyed with the younger vampire when he calls New Orleans "his town". Klaus huffs that before he left 100 years ago, Marcel was a "pathetic little scrapper still trembling from the lashes of the whips" of those who brought him down as a child. Marcel knows he is jealous and snarls that it is his town, that he is the king. Klaus stands for a few moments, the music quietening down as people observe the scene, including Elijah from afar. Klaus smirks before quickly turning and biting one of Marcel's closest vampires, infecting him with his bite. He says to Marcel that he broke one of his rules yet he is immortal and cannot die, walking away saying "who has the power now, *friend*?"

As Klaus is heavily drinking around a back lot in the quarter, he smashes a bottle upon the floor, knowing Elijah is behind him. Klaus tells him to stop harping on about the baby and Elijah vamp-speeds towards him, determined to knock some sense into him. The two begin scrapping and Klaus knocks Elijah off him before the latter returns, saying he will belt him like "their father used to", in order for him to regain his humanity. Klaus calls him pathetic and a "sentimental fool" as Elijah tries to mention family once more. Elijah walks off, leaving Klaus to ponder the events.
Klaus is later sitting upon a bench, seemingly having thought about things, when Elijah sits down next to him. Klaus solemnly reveals that the town was his home once and that he wants it back, that he wants to be king again. Elijah asks if that is all the child means to him before saying the child could change him, give him something he never believed he had; unconditional love of family.

He shows Hayley that he has already taken care for the werewolves and tells her that they are also his clan. Then he asks Kieran to help him find Davina. Klaus and Hayley are having a moment when he advises her to just apologize to Elijah to fix things between them. As Sophie's plan to get power from Celeste's bones fails, Elijah comes up with the new plan involving the Originals. They decide to make their mother Esther a New Orleans witch so they could channel her power and finish the harvest ritual. They bury their mother and take her power but something goes wrong and the girls who were killed for the harvest don't resurrect.

Marcel blames Klaus for Davina's death and this is making another barrier between their relationship. Klaus hugs him and tells him that he understands, because after he fled New Orleans he thought he was dead and it took him years before he could even speak his name. When he goes home he talks to Rebekah and asks her how did she find Davina so quickly and they share their regret over their failed plan to save her. When Rebekah realizes that this power could not have just vanish it leaves them with another problem to solve.

 File:Dance Back from the Grave (1).jpg   In *Dance Back from the Grave*, we can see flashbacks from his time in New Orleans from 1919. He tried to make arrangements with werewolves in this city, so his rule could remain hidden. But their meeting is soon interrupt by a witch named Papa Tunde, who demands to know how it would benefit for the witches. He demands a tribute as he thinks he is also the king in this city and brings them the head of the mayor who he has killed. Klaus doesn't like it and decides to find out who this enemy is. Klaus befriends him to find out his weaknesses so he could destroy him. With help from Marcel he finds out that Papa Tunde channels two twin witches who always accompany him and kills them to get rid of this rival. In the present time he is in very good mood after his trip to Mystic Falls. He frees Thierry at Rebekah's request. Then he informs other vampires in the quarter about Davina's death and the unsuccessful Harvest. He tells them that since Davina is dead they can't any longer control the witches in the quarter. So he orders them to keep them busy, until their power fades. He puts Diego on charge and is disturbed when Marcel doesn't join them. He talks with Marcel about his attitude but they are interrupted by Diego who has found some dead vampires. As they find two dead vampires, who are not even staked he wants revenge and make them suffer. He tells Diego to gather all the vampires and found out who did this, but most of the vampires are too freaked out to help. He realizes that others are so afraid of this new threat he decides to find the answers himself. On his way to figure things out he meets Sophie and finds marks of a dark sacrificial magic.
 File:Klaus and Papa Tunde.jpg
Soon he gets the call from Camille who tells him that Papa Tunde is killing Marcel. He runs to save him and confronts Papa Tunde himself, who is has all Rebekah's power so he is stronger than Klaus. He almost takes Klaus down, but Elijah and Hayley break the spell so that he loses power over Rebekah and Klaus overpowers him. He finds Marcel dying and tells Camille to find him somebody to give him blood. Camille volunteers, much to Klaus's dislike, but he allows her to save him. As he thinks the war with the witches has just started he asks the vampires in the quarter who will stay with him. Few leave, but most of them stay with him. He asks Sophie how could Papa Tunde return and finds out that it was because of the stolen Harvest power. As they learn that the Harvest might not be over he has Marcel back, because he will side with him to get Davina back and end this witch war. They want to stop him from killing more vampires and are alert that the garden is dangerous place if Papa Tunde discovers it, but they are too late. All of them are dead, leaving Klaus facing a stronger enemy.

 File:Klaus after attack.jpg
In *Crescent City*, Klaus is first seen in St Anne's church with Marcel to celebrate the reopening of it. They want Father Kieran to find out all that he can about the witches. Klaus gets a call from Diego who informs him that Papa Tunde is dead and they start to understand that their witch problems are only getting started. When he gets a message from Camille he meets her at the church and she asks for his help with her uncle Kieran, who has been cursed like Sean. Klaus comforts her and tells her that her uncle is a good and loyal man. Camille asks his for help and gives him Papa Tunde's knife, which she was asked to stab into his heart, but she chooses Klaus over witches. Then Klaus and Camille are going to father Kieran and are bleeding him out so Klaus could compel him to overcome his dark curse. When this is done he goes to seek out the witch who hexed Kieran in the first place. He takes Monique for leverage to lure them out, but Marcel does not approve of his plan. Marcel attacks him so Monique could escape and when Klaus fights him off he drops the blade. When he turns around Sophie pushes this blade to his chest. Klaus is screaming in unbearable pain and then collapses, leaving him to the hand of of his the enemy.

 File:The originals 1 1443.jpg
In *Long Way Back From Hell*, Klaus is completely paralyzed by the blade inside of his heart. Genevieve removes the blade from his heart and Klaus awakens in a weak state. He asks Genevieve why she is so kind to him and she says he never did anything to her and she can't help but pity him in his current state. She gives Klaus a brew made with magic and he drinks it willingly and Genevieve reveals that she will show him his sister's betrayal and that is how she will have her revenge against Rebekah. She shows him how Marcel and Rebekah sneaked around behind his back and he already was aware of this and tells her if it's part of her plan to turn him against Rebekah it is ineffective. Genevieve says that is not even close to the full extent of their betrayal.
Genevieve later revealed that Klaus' fear of Rebekah and Marcel's love had led to them conspiring to get rid of him. He is shown that Rebekah had manipulated Genevieve into summoning Mikael. Klaus is greatly affected by this and screams to Genevieve that he has had enough of her lies. Genevieve says that he must have known that Rebekah was responsible for calling Mikael, or at least suspected and Klaus refuses to believe that Rebekah had taken everything he had accomplish away from him. Genevieve responds by saying that when she is done he will realize how wrong he is.

 File:Bnyuf.jpg
Genevieve shows him more proof of what Rebekah did and this time he sees when Genevieve cast the spell that called on Mikael with his half-sister and Marcel present. During the ritual he sees Mikael's blade that went missing when Klaus was a boy and Mikael beat him half to death because he believed that he had stolen it, and he should have known that Rebekah had taken it as she was so kind to him the weeks after the beating. After the vision has ended he knows the truth and screams out Rebekah's name in anger. Genevieve also shows him how Rebekah killed her.
Genevieve apologizes for what she did and says it was necessary for him to see so he can take his and her revenge. She offers him her wrist so he can regain his strength and he accepts it. She then releases him and gives him Papa Tunde's Blade. Klaus speeds off and begins to search for Rebekah. When he finds her she claims that it isn't true and he wants to believe her, but her face tells a different story and she begins to run.

 File:LongWayHell3.jpg
Rebekah soon stops and Klaus comes down the stairs and reveals that he is no longer going to dagger her, he will use the blade on her and he describes what it's effects are, she tells him to do it. Klaus says that he is disappointed that she is not begging for mercy and forgiveness. Rebekah responds by saying that it won't do her any good and when Klaus asks how her father would look at her now, she attacked him and he threw her through a wall. Rebekah grabbed a metal bar and began to hit him with it but he easily defeated her and had her on her back. Marcel then came speeding in and Klaus threw him into a wall and was happy that he could kill him now. He tells Marcel that he will make Rebekah watch Marcel die and Rebekah claims that it was her idea to call Mikael and he turns to her and is about to stab her with the blade, but Elijah arrives and turns the blade on him and he is once again under the effects of the blade.

 File:The Originals s01e15 HD1080p KISSTHEMGOODBYE NET 0147.jpg  In *Le Grand Guignol*, Elijah removes the blade from Klaus' heart and asks Camille to look after him and slowly feed him her vervain laced blood, so he will recover slowly. When Camille asks him how he can hate his sister and he reveals that she has done something no one has done in over in a 1000 years; ripped his heart out. He begins to tell her that he allowed Marcel and Rebekah to be together and now realizes that he was a fool for not seeing their treachery, as they brought Mikael to town. Camille then assumes that he is consumed by revenge he will not achieve. Klaus responds to this by saying that he is not so sure because if they are going to run from him they will need a cloaking spell and for that they need a witch.
Later, Klaus tries to get up but he is still weak and Camille stops him from doing so. After Camille makes a joke about him he tells Camille more of the story and reveals his relationship with Lana and it led to him getting tickets to the opera. Camille then says she is not surprised that he likes opera and he respond by saying that he has always had a soft spot for the Le Guignol and says it reminds him of what happened in 1919.  File:The Originals s01e15 HD1080p KISSTHEMGOODBYE NET 0289.jpg
When he pours himself a drink, Camille then enters the room and when she mentions Elijah's name Klaus tells her not to speak to him about Elijah. Camille says that Elijah loves him and he agrees with her, saying Elijah proves time and again, even when Mikael enlisted Elijah to kill him. Klaus tells Camille that Mikael came to Elijah and wanted him to help Mikael to kill Klaus. Camille then interrupted him by asking him why he says kill when he is immortal and can't be killed, and Klaus reveals that he can be killed and Mikael had the one thing that could kill them; the White Oak Stake.
He continues to tell the story and tells Camille that Elijah refused Mikael's offer and said he would always stand by his brother and as a reward Mikael stabbed him with a piece of wood. Klaus says that Elijah often felt guilt for not stopping Mikael and Klaus would tell him not to blame himself. Klaus then received a text saying that Rebekah and Marcel have been seen in town. He then breaks a statue and pools out a stake. Camille asks what it is and he reveals that it is his own White Oak Stake.

 File:Klausm2.jpg
Klaus is later feeding on a guy and Camille comes out to ask him what he is doing and he reveals that he is going to kill Rebekah. Camille then tells him not to kill his sister because if he does he will be filled with guilt and he won't survive it. Klaus responds by saying that he almost didn't survive Rebekah bringing Mikael down on him. Camille then tells him not to hunt down and terrorize Rebekah and Marcel, like he was terrorize, because if he does it he will become his father. Klaus then says he has been called many shades of monster but that was new and he says that Mikael was the monster that monsters was afraid of. He then grabbed her to show her something. He brought her to the location of the opera that burned down in 1919 and reveals that it was the work of Mikael. He tells her how Mikael sat behind him with his stake aimed for his heart and when Klaus said that if Mikael killed him he would fall proud of what he had achieved. Mikael then agreed with what he said and revealed that after he killed him, he would kill everyone that remembers his name. Then as the show started it showed that Mikael had compelled the audience to applaud to what they where seeing; Lana impaled on the scene and Marcel chained to a x. Klaus reveals that he tried to save Marcel but Mikael stopped him and Rebekah intervened and Klaus says he believed that she was trying to save him all those years, and now realizes that it was Marcel she tried to save. He continues to tell Camille the story and Elijah came to help them and together they ran and as they fled Mikael burned the opera to the ground along with Marcel they assumed.  File:Klausvamp.gif   He says he lived but all that they built died as did the last shred of him that felt human and says that is what Mikael took from him that night. Klaus then assured Camille that he was not going to terrorize Rebekah and Marcel for centuries, nor will he torment, humiliate or dehumanize them, he will just end them. Klaus then speeds away before Camille can respond.
Klaus enters the cemetery and he screams for Rebekah much like Mikael screamed for him when they where leaving the city. He found his sister with Elijah and he told him to get away from Rebekah because she is his. He then puts his Hybrid face on and Elijah and Rebekah did the same.

 File:Storyville06.jpg
In *Farewell to Storyville*, he is in the cemetery with Elijah and Rebekah. He holds a hearing for Rebekah and she confesses what she did in 1919. He shows anger and goes after her when he possibly can. Elijah defends Rebekah and tells him what Mikael also did to them besides Klaus. Klaus stabs Elijah with the blade and then goes after Rebekah. He confronts her again and she tells him the truth. He shows sadness and stabs Rebekah with the White Oak Stake. Revealing that he missed her heart, he asks her what she wants. She tells him she wants what she always has: a family and a home, and he exiles her from New Orleans and lets her live her life. He shows great sadness at her leaving though.

 File:-the-originals- 1x17-8.jpg
In *Moon Over Bourbon Street*, after a month, he and Genevieve have become lovers. Elijah isn't happy with this relationship. He asks Klaus if he has forgotten that Genevieve tortured their sister and as a result she is now gone forever. Klaus responds that Rebekah harbored the desire to leave for quite some time. Elijah tells him that he should stop his ridiculous behavior and channel it into some action. He wanted to become king and now he must accept the responsibilities that come with that. Klaus clearly isn't interested. Elijah wonders what will become of his daughter if it so easy for him to abandon his home. Klaus is not happy with this remark. Elijah asks him if he has forgotten what it was like to live under the threat of violence. They must work together and make the city whole again. Klaus tells him that maybe the city is too broken to mend. Elijah tells him that if he will not do anything, Elijah will do it in stead.

 File:-the-originals- 1x17-1.jpg   Elijah wants to make a peace treaty involving all the factions. Klaus gives him some advice, Elijah should start with the werewolves if he wants peace. And if bringing everyone at the table is the problem, then he should just remove the table and throw a party. Elijah agrees and invites all the factions to a party at their home. Klaus attends to the party. He takes a specific interest in Jackson. He tells Jackson that his mother made a moonlight ring for his biological father that prevented him from turning. He could then access all the power he had as a wolf in his human form. Klaus tells Jackson he wants to give the werewolves rings like this so that they are strong enough to protect his unborn daughter. Vampires aren't loyal, werewolves however are. Family is very important to them and he wants the safety of that loyalty for his unborn daughter. Later Elijah wants Klaus to sign the peace treaty. Klaus however thinks the treaty will fail. At the end of the episode he's smiling as he looks at a painting he just made, the city of New Orleans with a full moon.
 File:Uneasy03.jpg
In *The Big Uneasy*, Klaus is seen painting Genevieve in the nude and then complaining to Elijah about the racket happening outside. Klaus is also trying to form alliances with the werewolves and the witches. He also asks Oliver to find Cary, which he does, and he asks Cary what stone the ring housed and to find out what it was. He is confronted by Genevieve about Esther's grimoire and he tells her that she doesn't have leverage over him. He comes to the witches' ceremony and presents Davina with a gift, for which she does refuse, and he apologizes for what he did to Tim, and she later accepts. She sees that it is a page from Esther's grimoire about how to make daylight rings. He then shows Genevieve the hands of the witch he cut off and she then tells him she was thinking about taking the hex off Kieran, but she changes her mind. He and Elijah also get into a fight, which ends with Klaus looking troubled. He later tells Cami that Genevieve won't take off the hex and that he will kill Marcel if he sees him.

 File:Klamille 9.png   In *An Unblinking Death*, he is seen looking for his mother's grimoire, but Elijah has put in a place where he can't find it since he knows about the alliances Klaus is trying to put together. He gets a call from Marcel about Kieran, and he goes over to the church. He then turns Kieran for Camille, but unfortunately he has to kill because the hex and the vampire lust took control and he has to save Camille, then he takes Camille to her home and calls Marcel to accompany her. He allows Marcel to come back for Kieran's funeral. He is then also given the grimoire by Elijah.

 File:TheOriginals120-0114.jpeg

In *The Battle of New Orleans*, Klaus shows Genevieve the spell required to create the moonlight rings and tells her of the changes he wants made to them. He then promises her that, in exchange for her allegiance, he will give her his mother's spell book and protect her from all her enemies. When Marcel snatches Jackson and Oliver as they arrived with the black kyanite stones needed for the spell, Klaus deduces from Genevieve's inability to locate them that Marcel had a cloaking spell around him. Klaus threatens Davina (who cast the spell for Marcel) by biting Josh into telling him where Marcel is. He heads to the warehouse where he and Elijah find Jackson bound to a chair tied to explosives.
A timer makes them go off as Marcel's revenge for Thierry's death but all three make it out alive. They return to the compound where Genevieve tells Klaus that she needs something to bind the spell, ideally another wolf who can control his transformation and Klaus offers his blood. Klaus also reveals that he had a Plan B: he had asked Francesca Guerrera to find black kyanite for them as a backup.

 File:852324.jpg   As Genevieve performs the spell, Marcel and his vampires attack the compound. Marcel draws Klaus away and the two fight, while Elijah holds off the whole vampire army on his own. Klaus bites Marcel to kill him but at that moment, the werewolves call on the stones to prevent their transformation and drain Klaus of his strength. Marcel escapes and Genevieve later finds a weakened Klaus and tells him what she did: that the stones drew their power from him and that he would now be weak and in pain every time a werewolf drew on them to prevent their turn. She then knocks him out with magic. Klaus later wanders aimlessly through the streets of New Orleans until he hears Hayley's screams coming from St. Anne's Church. He realizing that Hayley and his child are in danger, Klaus screams up to the sky in anger.

In *Alive and Kicking*, Klaus tells Elijah about a witch hunt him and Hayley went on. Elijah scolds him for his actions, but Klaus says he's helping her. Later on, Klaus and Hayley head out to the Bayou in search of werewolves. Eventually they find Oliver and many other werewolves. Klaus threatens him, but Hayley stops him, not wanting a fight. Oliver then insults Hayley and Klaus slams him on the ground. Eventually, the two leave, Klaus saying he's going to find a witch and "educate" her. Klaus is seen at the cemetery talking to Cassie (who was being possessed by Esther at the time) and having tea with her. He comments on the tea, saying his mother made it and he disliked it. Klaus them proceeds to tell Cassie how terrible and insane Esther was. Cassie stops him and questions him, but Klaus is offended, as she called him by his full name. He threatens to kill the werewolves in the room and leaves enraged. When he returns to the compound he tells Elijah that he studied her and figured out it was their mother. He says he is going to kill her. However, Elijah reveals that Mikael, their father is still alive and Klaus asks who they should decide to kill first.

In *Every Mother's Son*, Klaus, Elijah and Hayley are talking and there is a silver lid on a platter that starts to rattle and two starlings fly upward, and Klaus says it's an invitation from Esther. Klaus is staring at the invitation on the balcony and then notices Hayley laying on his bed. She says she's glad she didn't get to know her mother and says she'll glad add Esther to the body count. Elijah tells her no since they must know her intentions first before she finds a new host. Klaus is telling a caterer to skip the salad and picks a wine before dismissing him, while Hayley walks in. File:Klaus 2x03.jpg  She says letting Oliver lived paid off as she said that he informed her that Esther has another witch and Klaus suspects that she's building alliances to help her destroy them. Hayley wonders why she hates him since she has six kids and should have a maternal gene, but Klaus corrects her, and tells her that Esther had seven children, and at one time she loved them all very much. He says they lost a sibling before they came to Mystic Falls, and how Henrik's death pushed his mother over the edge. Hayley asks him what he believes about his mother and replies "I don't know. I just knew I wanted her dead". Hayley tells him every good story needs a wicked witch and it will satisfying when they melt her, which makes Klaus smile back. Klaus arrives at Marcel's loft and asks if he still has a necklace with a metal bird on it and Marcel says he does, revealing Klaus gave it to him when he turned 11. Marcel asks why he needs it and Klaus tells him he doesn't want him to be a part of his sprawling family drama and thanks him for holding onto the necklace. Hayley goes to Klaus and Elijah and updates them that Lenore is being held captive in the Quarter and Oliver's with her. Elijah is cut off by her and Klaus hands the necklace over to her and tells her that she needs find Gia, as she's getting another ingredient for the branding spell. Klaus and Elijah are both wearing fancy suits as they get ready for dinner with their mother. After threatening to tear her new body to pieces if she tries anything, Finn arrives and they don't recognize him as he's possessing a new body.  File:Normal TheOriginals203-1041.jpeg  Klaus and Finn exchange banter with each other, tells both of them that Kol has been resurrected as well and says that change is inevitable. Klaus gets angry and flings at Finn, but he stops it with magic and says they have much to discuss. Klaus gets frustrated and demands that Finn get to the point and understands Klaus' cruelty, but not Elijah's as he should've been the most compassionate one. He says Elijah took his place as oldest and that instead of fixing the problems of the family, he produced nine centuries of failure. After Elijah tells Finn off, Klaus is seen giggling at the insults, until Esther walks in and says she's missed them. Klaus asks her to tell them why she's there so the night will end and Esther wonders why they look at her with such disdain as she was just trying to protect them. It is revealed that Esther was responsible for Klaus being weak in his human life, as the necklace she gave him was spelled to protect him, so he wouldn't activate his werewolf curse. He gets angry and tells her that she also did so it would hide her transgressions and says he always sought approval was denied as he thought he was a weakling, but then tells her that she was the author of what he had become. Esther then starts gasping and Elijah says she's gone. It's revealed she has possessed Lenore and Elijah wonders if they weren't the only ones she was trying to get to that night and then they go to where Hayley is. Klaus and Elijah finally arrive at Lenore's store and Esther says she didn't come there to wage war against them. Klaus tells her they won't accept any offer she has given, but she says in due time they will beg her for her offer. She then disappears as hundreds of starlings come through the windows. Elijah asks her what else Esther had to offer besides rebirth and Hayley says Esther blamed them for what happened to Hope and her. After Hayley leaves after she contemplates taking Esther's offer, Elijah tells him he was never weak and Klaus tells him to remain wise as the family could learn something from him.

Klaus bested them all, and then found out from Hayley on the phone that Elijah was taken by their mother. So he left in a hurry to finish his business with his step father. Later he found Mikael with a bleeding Cami in his arms. Klaus and Mikael then have a showdown. Klaus is almost killed in the struggle as Mikael stakes him with the white oak stake.

Esther uses a spell to make Klaus see Elijah, but Klaus finds out, and tells her to stop with her tricks, as he wants to talk to her. Esther appears and begins to talk to him about their past - she tells him about Mikael's love for his older sister; Freya. Esther tells him that she will give him Elijah if he listens to her. They have a long conversation about their past together with Klaus calling her a whore for sleeping with another man, and Esther slaps him hard, telling him to watch his mouth, as she is still his mother, and after more banter, she then tells him where to find Elijah. When Klaus arrives at the location he meets his real father, but doesn't seem at all happy about it. He leaves and finds Elijah in one of the tombs in the city of the dead, but Elijah doesn't wake up. Esther then appears, and Klaus asks her why he isn't waking up, and confront her about the man he saw earlier, doubting it, as he thinks that was not his real father, but an illusion she casted. Esther tells him she brought him back from the other side before it collapses, so he can teach him what it means to be a wolf, if Klaus agree to take the body of a mortal, and he refuses yet again, so she asks him why doesn't he accepts her offer, and Klaus tells her that his hatred for her has only grown since the day he killed her, because she tried to kill his child - he then chokes her almost to death, saying that he would make her suffer as after all he is his mother's son.

After a while they save Freya - Klaus digs her up from the coffin she was buried in. While doing this Aurora shoots Elijah, after that Klaus had to take the bullet out before it was to late. After promising he wouldn't leave Elijah he takes the bullet out just in time. The three of them confront Aurora, but the latter flee. After they get back to their house, Klaus tells Freya that she should never be surprised that he saved her, because she is his sister. Elijah walks into the room, agreeing with Klaus, and all of them have a drink and talks about taking down everyone who comes after their family and their loved ones.

In *A Streetcar Named Desire*, Klaus takes his old friend Stefan to Freya, so she can help him with her magic to escape from the vampire huntress who is after him; Rayna Cruz. He then talks to Elijah about going after Aya, Aurora, and The Strix. Hayley then inform them that she and her wolfs found Aurora. When the two of them arrive there, it's a trap set by Aya, and they get kidnapped by the Strix and their witches. Klaus and Elijah get spelled and their minds are sent to a Chambre de Chasse where they meet Aurora her brother Tristan. While they are stuck talking to Aurora and Tristan, Davina is trying to find a spell to unlink them from their sirelines. Freya, with the help of Lucien Castle, Marcel, Stefan and Hayley, then comes to their rescue and manages to get Elijah in time but not Klaus. Unfortunately Davina's spell works and Klaus gets unlinked from his sireline. He then locks Aurora up forever in the city of the dead, and even though she begs him to kill her, he does not, saying she does not deserves his mercy. Klaus then says goodbye to Sefan, asking the young vampire to do the right thing by Caroline. Stefan promise, and the two part ways. While he is saying his farewell he feels exhausted, and later asks Freya about it. She tells him not to worry, and rest for a few days.

In *An Old Friend Calls*, Klaus gets paranoid because he thinks now that his sireline is broken his foes will come for him like never before. But Elijah and Freya don't share his paranoia. Elijah tells him to see his therapist to relive his pressure. He goes to her, and two talk. On his way home he sees an old foe of his; the vampire Gaspar Cortez. He is then reunited with his younger brother Kol, who was resurrected as on Original Vampire once again. He explains to Kol his fears, and Kol tells him he can help. They do a spell that will allow them to track down Klaus' enemies. The spell reveals no immediate concerns but Cortez, and then Klaus receives a message from Cami saying one of his foes -Cortez- is in Rousseau's and is trying to find the white oak. Klaus shows up and kills Cortez, but before Cortez dies he tells Klaus that all his foes will come for him just like he had imagined. Having only a few people willing to protect him, Klaus has no other choice but to run and hide. Kol and Freya do a spell that will make all witches who do a locator spell in order to track him down think he is still in New Orleans. He says goodbye to everyone in his family. He also tells goodbye to Cami, who tells him she doesn't love him anymore. He then gets inside a car asking Hayley if she has said her goodbyes. She says yes, and that she doesn't have anything in New Orleans anymore. Klaus says that maybe they have more in common than they thought. Then they ride along with Hope and leave New Orleans behind.

In *Alone with Everybody*, Klaus and Hayley are on the run from Klaus' enemies. Hayley comes out of a gas station shop and asks for the car keys, and Klaus hands them over. She gives Klaus a hat with the words 'Mother Trucker' and he asks how much he will despise this plan of hers on a scale of 1-10, and she replies a solid 85. They enter a bar along with Hope and a staff member tells them they are closed, as they are closed to his kind. Hollis tells his staff member that he can handle them. Klaus starts to argue with Hayley saying she came on this road trip with him to be away from Elijah. Hollis tells them if they want to be discreet, they should not talk so much. Hollis tells Hayley about a werewolf named Kayla McInnis triggered her Werewolf curse by killing someone and tells her where to find her. Hayley wants to go help her, but Klaus does not comply, saying his life and his daughter's life is on the line, telling her that from now on they do things his way and leaves the bar. He puts Hope in her car seat and Hayley tries to convince Klaus that she needs to help Kayla, however Klaus does not agree and demands she gets in the car. Hayley tells him that one day their daughter might go through the same thing as Kayla is going through now. Knowing Hayley is right, he lets her go to help her. Klaus follows Hayley and she asks him where Hope is, Klaus replies that he trust her with Hollis, since he trusts her. Klaus thanks Hayley for convincing him that it was right to help Kayla, telling her that they should decide things together as partners what is best for Hope. Klaus spots something hanging from the tree, an Kingmaker Land Development ID card, and figures that the wolves are being hunted by Lucien. Elijah calls Klaus and tells him it is time to come home, and Klaus tells him he has made a discovery about Kingmaker Land Development and the targeted wolves.

In *Behind the Black Horizon*, Klaus and Hayley are on a search for what Lucien is up to. Klaus tells Hayley that Lucien has kidnapped Freya. Hayley tells him he should go back and help his siblings, however he opts to stay with her to find out what Lucien is up to. After 5 failed attempts at different Kingmaker offices, they finally find the right one as a receptionist calls the guards, and the guards are aiming a gun at them. They defeat all the guards and break an employees neck and gets into a secret room filled with werewolves and one vampire. They free all the werewolves and Klaus gets a call from Elijah telling him that their brother Finn is bitten by Lucien, he rushes home and give Finn his blood to heal. However his blood does not work. While their family continues to find options to save Finn's life, he tells them not to leave him as he is dying. The 4 remaining siblings gather on the bridge and each take a turn to throw his ashes off the bridge, Klaus tells Finn that he will be avenged. Hayley returns to The Compound and tells them that Lucien's venom is derived from 7 pack of wolves, giving Klaus a bite that he cannot cure. Freya tells them that Lucien had two bottles of the serum, therefore the spell might wear off, however Klaus thinks that he made another one for Aurora. He goes to Aurora's entombment and finds the bricks broken and Aurora broken free.

 File:OR318A 0062r.jpg
In *The Devil Comes Here and Sighs*, Klaus grows restless as Freya has not found a way to kill Lucien. He goes out and finds Lucien but first stops by Lucien's Penthouse he should not invite him in, because it is not safe. He goes and finds Lucien with Papa Tunde's Blade and fights Lucien off. However he is stabbed with the blade by Lucien. He is taken back to Lucien's Penthouse and is chained up. Lucien leaves to find Elijah and Aurora stays at the penthouse. Klaus tries to convince her that he still loves her, however Aurora does not buy it, and drinks the serum that Lucien gives her. Aurora taunts him by asking how he would like to see her die, however Cami soon arrives, and then Aurora is ambushed by Hayley. Hayley is about to rip out Aurora's heart, however Klaus tells her that she drank the serum. Aurora snaps her neck and asks Klaus who should she kill first. Cami provokes her and she and Aurora fight, but Aurora quickly gets the upper hand, and pushes Cami into Lucien's uninvited penthouse, causing the young vampire to bleed, and Klaus tells Aurora to stop. Hayley wakes up and fights Aurora, while Cami injects Aurora with a needle that knocks her unconscious. Cami and Klaus look at each other and smile. Back at The Compound, Klaus thanks Hayley for her help today, however Hayley says he should really be thanking Cami.
In *No More Heartbreaks*, Cami walks into the compound calling for Klaus. He meets her immediately and asks her what's wrong. She tells him that Lucien wants him to be angry and that he's trying to lure Klaus into a trap. Klaus demands to know what Lucien did but senses the bite on Cami's arm. Cami puts her arms around Klaus's neck and says "I love you." She then faints in Klaus' arms. Klaus then puts a healing salve made by Freya on Cami's arm and sits next to her. When Vincent walks into the room he apologizes to Cami as Klaus jumps to his feet, blaming Vincent for turning Lucien into The Beast. Cami tells Klaus to stop and Hayley reminds him that they all need to work together to fix this. Klaus comes up with the idea that Lucien's blood may be the antidote for the bite. Vincent leaves to get Lucien's blood as Hayley gets the idea that maybe Hope can heal the bite.

 File:OR319B 0263r FULL.jpg
Freya gives Klaus a vial of something that Freya hope will slow the spread of the infection in Cami's body but Klaus needs to keep Cami relaxed. He complains that he is not a nursemaid. He takes the vial to Cami to drink and she pours him a real drink as she tells him how she loved being a bartender. Klaus tells her how good she is at listening. But then Cami asks him to write her will for her. He starts writing everything she says down but finally slams the paper and pen down yelling "enough!" He tells her that they are going to find a way to fix it. Vincent brings Lucien's blood back and Klaus watches as she drinks. Cami then lays down in bed to sleep while Klaus holds her hand and enters her thoughts.
In her head, they sit at a corner cafe and chat while they wait for Lucien's blood to take effect. They talk about the world travelling they will do once she is well. They walk around New Orleans as the city comes alive, holding hands and talking. She tells him that he's capable of everything that is human: joy, hope, love. She tells him that he is loved. He asks her why she is telling him this and she replies "because love will make you strong". She knows she is dying at Klaus is visibly upset. The things in the vision start to disappear. But as they look at each other the people and things reemerge.

 File:TO319 2029KlausCamiFreya.jpg
Klaus then takes them back to the night they met. Cami is surprised that he got every detail right. Cami says she's tired and her knees buckle. Klaus holds her up and whispers "Camille". They exchange "I love you's" and Cami asks him to make all the people go away. Suddenly they are alone and Cami is sobbing for Klaus. On the bedside, Klaus glances over at Cami's body laying in the bed. He goes back into her mind as she cries. He assures her that he is there for her. He tells her that she stayed his hand and quelled his rage; inspired goodness in him. And he will carry her with him. On the outside he can see that she is desiccating. Klaus sobs quietly into his arm.
In *Where Nothing Stays Buried*, Hayley brings Klaus the notebook that Jackson wrote with all the information that he got from Ansel about the ancient Werewolves, although she tells him there is nothing there that can help them kill Lucien. Hayley tells Klaus that they need to do something about Cami's body, as she knows that Cami wanted an Irish wake, telling him she can make the arrangements. Klaus told her that it doesn't matter what she wanted, as she's gone, and also that there is no time for that, as they are at war. Hayley agrees and leaves him be. Later, Kol and Marcel asks for Elijah's help in the resurrection of Davina. Elijah is reluctant to help them, as they are at war, but Klaus comes down the stairs, saying they will help. He then takes Kol with him, to clean him up. After that, Klaus, along with Freya, Elijah and Kol, stand in the living room, debating their next move. Freya says that she needs to channel an original in order to keep Davina safe.

 File:TO320 Mikaelsons.jpg
She tells Kol that she can't use him, so Klaus and Elijah needs to decide. The candles on the desk lights and Freya says it's a sign that a NOLA witch is trying to meddle with one of them. Klaus says that Lucien has the new Regent at his beck and call, and it's him he is after. Suddenly, Rebekah's portrait catches fire, telling Freya that Rebekah is Lucien's new target. Klaus says that Lucien thought that killing Cami would have him charging into Lucien's lair on a suicide mission. When it didn't, he decided to go after Rebekah. Klaus adds that Lucien is kicking hornets' nests, until they will have no choice but to confront him. Freya says that now that the Ancestors are working for Lucien, he can find Rebekah. Klaus say he will go and get her, but Freya warns him that it's not safe. Klaus gets angry saying that if they stay at the compound, doing nothing, Lucien will: "...slides Rebekah's bitten corpse down the hall." Elijah then says that he will go, but Klaus tells him that he moved Rebekah, saying he did not like the two of them sharing secrets. Elijah demands Klaus to tell him where Rebekah is, and Klaus refuses, saying Elijah should stay and help Kol. He then storms off outside, saying that Lucien deserves their collective ire and that today, their grievances will be tabled. Later, when Klaus gets into his car, Hayley demand to come along, when he seems reluctant, she reminds him that she knows every inch of the bayou. Klaus then says that he will drive.
Later in the woods, Hayley is trying to comfort Klaus, but the latter says he don't need advice on healthy mourning from a girl who kept her husband's heart in a box. She tells him that she knows that he think that if he revert to being the cruel bastard that he was before he met Cami, he can pretend like she was never there. Klaus tells her that her husband may be dead, but they are not the same, as the person she share a connection with is still breathing. Elijah then calls Klaus, informing him that by sacrificing Davina, they will have the power to kill Lucien. Klaus tells him to look for another way, as by doing this, Kol and Marcel will turn against them, and he can't have that.

 File:TO320 2878.jpg
After he and Hayley find Rebekah's body, Hayley tells Klaus that it was nice what he did for Davina, even though he hates her. Klaus then tells her to talk with Elijah before it's too late, as the prophecy is still upon them. As they drive they talk about Elijah, when a car hits them. Lucien then appears, mocking Klaus, and the two of them fight. Just before Lucien rips out Hayley's heart, Elijah and Freya appears, and Freya strips Lucien of his beast powers, and so Klaus kills him, and they all burn his body. When they return home, a grieving drunk Marcel awaits them, saying he is not part of their family, and never was. He leaves in anger, with Klaus looking overwhelmed by his statement. Later, Klaus sits by his daughter's cradle, when Freya comes to comfort him, telling him Lucien was not his demons.

 File:TO321 1419.jpg
In *Give 'Em Hell Kid*, Klaus looks at the painting of the man he watched with Cami when they first met. He then attended Cami's wake with Elijah and Hayley. At Rousseau's, near Cami's coffin, Klaus talks to Will, and the human asks him if he knew her well. Klaus says he did. Will asks him how she died, and the hybrid tells him it was an accident. After that, Elijah tells Klaus to give Marcel -who just placed a rose on Cami's coffin- time. Klaus tell his brother that time won't bring Davina back, and that it's better to reach out to Marcel before his anger hardens into something worse. Klaus then go to Marcel's loft, where he finds him drinking. They talk about how Klaus and his siblings threw Davina to the wolves. Klaus then trying to convince Marcel that Freya and Elijah had no other choice, but Marcel remains angry, despite Klaus telling him that he is part of the family. Marcel tells him that he was his mentor, his savior, and his sire. But he's never been his brother. And that now he's nothing to him. Klaus looks hurt by this, and tells Marcel to give him one last chance to prove him wrong, and tells Marcel to come with him.
They go to the bridge where Klaus had Marcel scatter his father's ashes. Klaus reminds Marcel of the time he was newly turned and Klaus feared that the brilliant and kind boy he raised would be lost in a cloud of rage, so he brought Marcel to the bridge where their family crossed when they first brought him home. "The threshold between your past and your future" - as Klaus put it. Klaus tries to convince Marcel that he was always part of their family, and that Marcel is just like him; stubborn, and full of anger. But Marcel say that he is not, and that whatever debt's he owed Klaus, he paid them back a long time ago. Klaus then tells him that when he first returned to NOLA, he feared that Marcel would become his better, instead of feeling pride of the man Marcel had become. Elijah then show up, interrupting their conversation. Klaus tells him that his concerns can wait, but Elijah disagrees. Marcel and Elijah starts to bicker, and Klaus try to stop them, until Marcel pulls out Lucien's serum from his shirt. Marcel ponders to himself whatever or not he should take the serum, but Klaus cuts him off, visibly threatened by this turn of events. They start to argue, with Marcel reproving Klaus of his controlling nature. Elijah, now at the limit of his patience, order Marcel to give him the serum. Klaus tells Marcel that he can't allow him the means to destroy his family, with Marcel looks bitter, as Klaus finally admitted that Marcel never was part of his family.

 File:TO321 3044.jpg
The three of them start to shout at each other, with Klaus and Elijah siding against Marcel, with the latter swears vengeance against Klaus, until Elijah rips his heart out, and throws his body into the river, much to Klaus' dismay. Later, Klaus and Elijah stand on the bank of the river just below the bridge by a little fire, with Klaus saying that the current took Marcel's body. The two start to bicker, with Klaus saying that he could've talked Marcel down. Elijah disagree, but Klaus remains angry, and leaves his older brother by the river. Later, at the Mikaelson compound, Hayley talks to Klaus trying to convince him to forgive Elijah. She tells him that even after all the pain that Klaus have put Elijah through, Elijah has always forgiven him, and so Klaus have to forgive Elijah. Klaus then go to Marcel's loft, and tells Vincent and Josh that Marcel is dead.
In *The Bloody Crown*, Klaus stands in the courtyard of the compound holding Hope, talking to her quietly. He promises her that he will do right by her. Elijah interrupts his younger brother telling Klaus that he won't ask for forgiveness for killing Marcel. Instead he tells Klaus that he had no choice, as they protect the family no matter the cost. Klaus turns and faces Elijah and asks him if he thinks him unaware of the heavy burden of protecting their family. Elijah says that this time the burden may be too much for Klaus to bear.
Kol complains about hiding inside while Klaus' enemies gather at their gates. Klaus smiles at him and tells him that if they wants to die, let them come. The three brothers hear a noise and head towards the center of the compound. Their enemies swarm in from all sides and from top to bottom. In seconds, Klaus, Elijah, and Kol are surrounded. Marcel suddenly walks in saying that he never thought it would come to this, but the Mikaelsons made the choice for him like they always do. Klaus looks wide-eyed at Marcel and quietly says, "Marcel. How?" Marcel answers with more questions asking "how are we in your home?" and "how am I not a rotting corpse?" Klaus and Marcel stare at one another; Klaus says that he thought his friend was dead. Klaus asks him to send all of people away so that they can talk, just the two of them. Marcel tells Klaus that if he hadn't been one step ahead of him he'd be dead at the bottom of the river. Elijah then tries to take the focus off of Klaus by telling Marcel that his anger is with him, not Klaus. But Marcel tells Elijah that he has learned that if you take on one Mikaelson, you're taking on all of them.
Marcel then turns to the crowd around them saying that these are Klaus' sirelings and they are here to bear witness to the fall of the Mikaelsons. Kol tries desperately to reason with Marcel but he grabs Kol and bites his neck then throws him. Klaus watches with wide eyes and whispers, "Kol!" Both Elijah and Klaus rush at Marcel but he throws them off easily. They keep attacking, but Marcel flings Klaus into a cement beam, stunning him. Elijah continues to fight Marcel but he takes one of Elijah's arms and bites him as Klaus watches. Slowly Klaus stands, his eyes turning golden and his fangs emerging; the blood rippling beneath his eyes. He charges at Marcel only to be stopped by Rebekah, who at the last second, jumped between the two. She commands them both to stop. She tells Klaus to take their brothers and go so Klaus gathers Kol and Elijah and speeds away.
Klaus and Elijah arrive at Lucien's apartment carrying Kol between them. Kol tells Klaus that he’s going to die, and Klaus tells him that he won't. Kol laughs and asks "isn't that what you said to Finn and Cami?". Klaus shakes his head at that and has the idea that since Lucien made his venom from the seven werewolf packs, maybe that's the key to an antidote. Freya isn't optimistic as none of them will be alive to solve that problem, as none of them will survives the day.
Elijah is suffering alone when Klaus approaches him. Elijah asks Klaus to please take care of Hayley. Klaus has tears in his eyes as he promises he will. Klaus tells him that he can't do this without him. The brothers tearfully hug one another as Elijah tells Klaus that he needs to be strong because they need him. Rebekah calls Klaus and tells him that his sirelings want his blood and Marcel was ready to let them tear apart the city to find him. But she's gotten Marcel to consider an alternative: Klaus needs to stand trial for his sins. Klaus tells her he will not stand before a jury who wants him dead. She tells him that if he doesn't they will hunt him down and show no mercy to anyone standing in their way. Just then, Klaus sees Hope. Klaus tells his family about Rebekah's plan. Elijah tells Klaus to take Hayley and Hope and get out of the city but Hayley won't hear of it. Freya comes up with a plan to save all of them. Freya tells him that she needs time so, to save the family, Klaus must go stand trial but he must come out of that trial alive. Klaus then puts an envelope with "Hope" written on the front into his daughter's diaper bag. He looks at Hope in her playpen. He apologizes to Hayley for taking Hope from her then asks Hayley to take care of her.
Klaus meets Rebekah at the compound. She tells him that for Freya's plan to work she can't go mad and he can’t die. He reminds her with a smile that she once said that he could talk his way out of hell. They embrace and hold hands as they head toward the center of the Mikaelson compound. Klaus finds Marcel sitting on a makeshift throne. Klaus says loudly that he has nothing to hide. Marcel asks Klaus how it feels to be this hated. Klaus remains silent with a small smile on his lips. Marcel demands that he look at the people; finally Klaus complies. Marcel tells the stories of a few of the angry vampires looking up at Klaus. Klaus listens to each story, keeping a smile on his face still. Finally, Klaus bursts outs saying that his sins were terrible indeed, but they taught the world to fear him and that fear protected his family. Marcel says that Klaus once said that Marcel was part of their family. Klaus reminds Marcel that he took him in; made him all that he is. Marcel says that Klaus made every vampire there in his image: angry, paranoid, merciless. He accuses Klaus of making them into vampires, then abandoning them. Marcel then states, "And for that, you must pay".
Rebekah stands in the center and yells "enough!" Marcel lets her defend Klaus but she suddenly concedes; tells Marcel that he is right. She then says to everyone that she wasn't being honest. Klaus tells her that she isn't well, the curse has poisoned her mind. Marcel demands that Rebekah be allowed to continue speaking. She tells the crowd what Klaus has done to his siblings and that he ruins everything he touches. Marcel has heard enough and asks the crowd if they have come to a decision. The crowd starts yelling wildly. Klaus yells "enough!" and they all fall silent. Klaus tells Marcel that he is disappointed in him and he feels sorry for him for having to use his sick sister because that's not the mark of a true leader. Klaus points out that Marcel is clearly outraged by Davina's death and reminds him that in the end, she defied even him. Klaus then says that maybe Davina's death was Marcel's fault. Klaus turns to the crowd and tells them that he did indeed murder their loved ones. He tells them that each one of them is at this trial because he willed it to be so. Their immortality is a gift from him and a debt that they can never repay; it is one that far offsets all of his supposed crimes. He tells them all: "I owe you nothing", and that they will remember him as their maker.

 File:Klaus Mikaelson Subdued 322.jpg
Rebekah then bursts out saying that death is too good for him. She asks Marcel to make him suffer and to let that be his fate. The crowd screams "torture him!" Marcel stands, Papa Tunde's Blade in his hand and sentences Klaus to a fate worse than death. Marcel tells Klaus that this is for Davina, Diego, Thierry, Gia, Cami and the boy he used to be- the boy Klaus once called his son- and jabs the blade into Klaus' heart. Marcel then bricks Klaus away while he is the anchor for his family to cling to as Hayley searches for cures for all of them.

 File:The Originals 'Gather Up the Killers' Klaus.jpeg
In *Gather Up the Killers*, it has been five years since Klaus was imprisoned at the hands of Marcel, however, Klaus remains angry that he has missed the last five years of Hope's life. In the dungeon below the Abattoir, Klaus provides Marcel with information regarding one of his sires, Alistair in return for blood.

Marcel, however, returns a little while later, angry that Klaus had provided him with incorrect information. Klaus taunts Marcel about the difficulties of being the King, relating his own situation. However, after Marcel threatens Hope, Klaus agrees to kill Alistair and his entire faction. He later fights Alistair and his faction, losing at first, but getting the upper hand when Alistair too, threatens Hope. Klaus kills the closest members until he is subdued by Marcel.

Back to the Abattoir, Klaus sweetly talks to his daughter, asleep in her bed, while Hayley is watching them. Then he goes to the Lafayette Cemetery to talk to Marcel. While he is waiting for Marcel, Klaus looks at Cami's tombstone inscription. When Marcel arrives Klaus asks him to hear his confession. Klaus admits to Marcel that he was never a good father to him and that he failed him, to his eternal shame. Back to the Abattoir, before the ritual starts, Klaus talks to Elijah begging him to leave him to his fate, because he will aid their enemies otherwise. Elijah gives his word to him. After the ritual, Klaus should go away from Hope forever but he refuses to do so, before he knows that Hope will be alright. When Hope wakes up, in Hayley's arms, Klaus and his daughter look at each other, then Klaus tells her that he loves her and leaves, while Hope is desperately calling him.

## Personality

* Untriggered Werewolf-Witch Hybrid
* Original Vampire-Original Hybrid

 File:Young Klaus.png
While he was still an untriggered Werewolf-Witch hybrid, Klaus had a complicated life. He was close with his half-sister Rebekah, whom he affectionately called "Bekah", and with his half-brothers Elijah and Henrik. He also had a close relationship with his half-brother, Kol, but he did not get along at all with his half-brother, Finn, since childhood. However, he had a bad relationship with his overbearing step-father Mikael who was harder on him than any of his siblings. He was a victim of his step-father's physical and verbal abuse since childhood. Klaus even admitted to Rebekah that Mikael frightened him which made him constantly seek his approval without ever finding it. His mother Esther often tried to calm Mikael when he became angry with Klaus, but she never tried to stop him from humiliating or from physically/mentally abusing her son. Also as an untriggered werewolf, Klaus had the aggressive behavior of one, but he could not act on it due to his mother making him wear a magical necklace, created to weaken his strength and thus leaving him vulnerable to Mikael's abuse. These following reasons led him to resent both his parents and possibly to be jealous of his maternal half-siblings for having their approval. In the director's cut of the backdoor pilot of The Originals, Elijah pointed out that as an untriggered werewolf, Klaus was so full of love and life, and that all he ever wanted was to be loved in return, especially by his step-father. This belief that no one loved him and that he was doomed to be alone forever was the main factor that changed Klaus' personality.

 File:Niklaus HQ.jpg
When Klaus was just in the early stages of being a hybrid, he slaughtered six villagers. Which afterwards, he was devastated and cried into Elijah's shoulder. After finding out that Mikael is not his biological father, he was shocked and betrayed. Klaus is continuously described as being cruel, sadistic, careless, paranoid, reckless, impulsive, short-tempered, aggressive, volatile, unpredictable, slightly unreasonable, narcissistic, manipulative, jealous, obsessive and competitive. Though he shows little to no regard for human life in general, Klaus feels guilt and remorse for most of his actions, he just does not show it, and he also has morals. Despite his negative traits, Klaus has shown to be very protective of his younger half-sister Rebekah, who stayed by his side for centuries, and he is not pure evil, he is just sadistic. Unbeknownst to any, Klaus was not the son of Mikael, but the son of an alpha werewolf named Ansel, in another village which made Klaus aggressive, violent and angry. When he became a vampire, all these emotions were heightened and Klaus' temper became worse than ever. Years of humiliation and physical/emotional abuses at Mikael's hands and Esther's indifference, coupled with her rejection of him as her son, led Klaus to kill his own mother in revenge and for betraying him. After this, Klaus shut off his humanity to any but his family, killing any who crossed his path. Vengeful and power-hungry, he will stop at nothing to achieve his ends and remove those who stand in his way. However, Klaus does not believe that death is a punishment as seen when he denies Katherine death, instead keeping her alive so that she will suffer for having betrayed him. He will also place usefulness before pleasure and keeps people alive when it suits his needs. He has also shown a penchant for working with witches which was mentioned by Katherine in *Know Thy Enemy*. Klaus also has a sense of honor and will not go back on his word although, he will always look for loopholes in the deals he makes.
In 1933, despite the fact that his werewolf side was dormant at the time, Klaus still held werewolves in high regard. When he discovered August Müller, a vampire, had been massacring innocent werewolves as well as spreading his beliefs about the purity of species, i.e. that vampires are the apex predators, Klaus ruthlessly killed August and his followers. Despite this, he would spare August's wife and children.

Klaus has also shown a sadistic side notably when he deals with humans or vampires who have crossed him, such as Elena, Damon and Katherine (his sadistic nature is often mistaken as psychotic) however, Klaus' hunger for power actually hides a deep fear of being alone which must stem from his step-father's treatment of him. He wants the hybrids so that he will not be the sole member of his race as Esther intended when she placed the curse on him. He also desires, beyond anything else, to be reunited with friends and family as shown by his desire to have Stefan, his one-time friend, and his family back at his side. According to Elijah, Klaus also uses his cruelty to hide his fear of being alone. He has shown to have a softer side when he is around Caroline, or a member of his family, but rarely shows it around other people. Caroline brings out Klaus' humanity. He also holds grudges against the people who try to kill him, or members of his family, and rarely lets it go. Klaus is self-preserving whenever he is in a situation where he could be killed permanently, he reveals information that keeps him from being killed, like when he told Elijah that he didn't bury their family at sea, or when he told Stefan and Damon he is the one who sired their bloodline. Klaus rarely gets made a fool out of and also doesn't like to be made a fool out of either. He is rarely caught off guard. Klaus is highly intelligent, calculating, thinks of contingencies, he (secretly) admits he makes mistakes and learns from them as well, he is always two steps ahead of his enemies. Klaus is not a very forgiving person; as he rarely forgives people in general. Despite him being the world's most physically powerful immortal supernatural being, he often pretends to be arrogant to mask his fear of being alone, he is not completely fearless, he is afraid of the White Oak Stake, because it is the only physical weapon that can permanently kill him, other than the white oak stake, Klaus is also afraid of becoming like his step-father, Mikael. Klaus has a sarcastic sense of humor and he is sarcastic even towards members of his own family. Despite his lust for power, Klaus still cares about the remaining members of his family. Despite being manipulative, he does not like being lied to or manipulated. He does not take being betrayed very well, especially if it is from a member of his family. He is not tolerant of people who disappoint him in general. He has very little tolerance for disloyalty, if any of his friends or members of his family have try to kill him, or betrayed him to his enemies who wants him dead, Klaus disowns them and no longer see them as his friends or family; like Esther, Finn, Rebekah and Marcel. Klaus is ruthless and brutal towards his enemies, as he rarely shows any of his enemies mercy. Also if anyone tries to hurt or kill a member of his family, most of them will not live to regret it.
Klaus can sometimes be cold and ill-mannered, he is also not above killing children, if they are a threat to him or his family, despite this Klaus dislikes people in general who mistreat or abuse their children; due to how he was mistreated and abuse by his step-father, Mikael. Due to the fact that he was betrayed by Esther, Klaus does not trust people in general, he only trust those who have proven themselves trustworthy to him. He wants people in general, to be loyal to him and respect him of their own free will, he does not like to compel people to be loyal to him against their free will, he only does this if he believes they are plotting against him or his family.
Like Elijah, Klaus can easily be provoked when disrespected, as he has no tolerance for those that disrespect him, like his best friend Marcel, who spoke down to him. Klaus retaliated by biting Marcel's best friend Thierry Vanchure, to teach his best friend a lesson, to never disrespect him again or there will be consequences. Although he puts up a tough demeanor, deep down Klaus cares about his family; he just has a lot of difficulty showing it. Initially, Klaus hated being a vampire, after he was turned into one, but he eventually accepted his vampire nature, although he revels/embraces both his werewolf and vampire natures, there is still some part of Klaus, that resents Mikael and Esther for turning him and his maternal half-siblings into vampires against their free will. He later admitted to Esther that he forgives her for turning them and prefers them as vampires.
During his time in New Orleans, Klaus has grown to genuinely care about his unborn child, and was deeply hurt/enraged when Elijah and Hayley falsely accused him of using her to sire more hybrids; that he violently bit Elijah in retaliation. Although, he does still maintain a twisted sense of humor about his child as he once referred to his child as "that" when discussion how to keep it and Hayley safe from Marcel. Klaus is also shown to be more mellow as he was shown to genuinely regret daggering Elijah and went out of his way to show how sorry he was, even going as far as to spare Agnes for trying to kill his unborn child just so Elijah could keep his word. It is possible that being in his former home, with his family, has caused his humanity to show more. Klaus has also shown to have matured greatly as he no longer uses the White Oak Dagger to put down his maternal half-siblings when he disagrees with them like before but instead settles things in a civil and sometimes violent matter. As the baby's birth approached, Klaus became more and more protective of both her and Hayley. He even had a nursery built right next to Hayley's bedroom so she could be near her baby. His undying love for the child is evident as he willingly sent the child away from the chaos in New Orleans so that she could grow up properly in the loving arms of her aunt Rebekah.
Even if he is cruel, we can see he still has a part of humanity which is shown when he's about to cry when he sees his dead half-brother (Kol), when he admits his love for Caroline or when Hayley is pregnant of their child and he's fighting for her safety. Unlike Elijah, Klaus is far less calm, composed, and strategic in battle. Despite his temper, Klaus is shown to be very keen as he was able to figure out that Hope would be sacrificed at the cemetery because it was where the Harvest and the Reaping took place as well as the location of the ancestral witches' burial place. Klaus does seem to care about Tyler to a degree. When he told Caroline he defeated Tyler, he left out the detail that Tyler tried to kill Hayley and his unborn child. This could be due to not wanting Caroline to hate Tyler, however, it is very likely that he just wanted to keep his child's existence a secret as much as possible, as Klaus has made many enemies over the years, (until his child is old enough to protect herself). Klaus also did mention after Stefan watched knowingly as he walked into a trap by his hybrids, he wanted to kill Stefan but he fought the urge to and mentioned it took three days to finally lose the urge to kill Stefan, when he could have ended it in an instant by killing Stefan. In Season Two of *The Originals*, Klaus is shown to have developed strong paternal instincts since the birth of Hope. One such case is his belief a parent who trades their child for anything deserves a punishment worse than death. Klaus has also mellowed great deal a since season one, so much so he, in an ironic twist of fate, restrained Elijah when he lost his temper when Finn threatened Rebekah (and unknowingly Hope) unlike before where he would just let the blood flow. Klaus' main concern is keeping his daughter safe now that she has returned home.
Klaus has also developed strong friendship instincts. One example was when he gave up an opportunity to kill Mikael when he threw Papa Tunde's Blade at Camille and chose to safe guard her life over killing Mikael. Although he is paranoid and mistrustful, these traits have proven to be correct on more then one occasion, like with his maternal half-sister Freya, who he does not trust to begin with, due to the fact that she resurrected his maternal half-brother Finn, and indirectly helped the latter find Hope. Since the birth of his daughter, Klaus has become far more mature, responsible and selfless, and far less reckless, impulsive and selfish, as Hope has brought out the best inside him. Despite this, he still can be, though to a far less extent; cruel, sadistic, vengeful, ruthless, manipulative and jealous as when he declared only he will decide what is the best way to protect his daughter, not his maternal half-siblings or Hayley, and Dahlia picked up the fact that he fears Hope will grow up to call her step-father Jackson "Daddy". Klaus is a brilliant strategist, and skilled in making people suffer, traits he inherited from his mother. however, unlike Esther, he never underestimated members of his family, or his enemies, he committed immoral acts; he killed Elijah's girlfriend Gia, and daggered him with Papa Tunde's Blade, compelled Marcel to kill Rebekah, (who is in the body of the late Eva Sinclair) if she tries to escape the compound, had Dahlia reactivate the Crescent Curse on the Crescent Wolf Pack and Hayley. All these actions of his was partly as revenge/punishment for betraying him/for trying to take his daughter away from him, and mainly to gain Dahlia's trust to take her down.
Klaus still has guilt and remorse for most of his actions, however, he still refuses to show it; but he only shows his remorseful nature towards Camille. He also still has morals and a sense of honor. By the end of the second season, Klaus no longer has a sensitive side; as he no longer cares about what people in general think about him, particularly his maternal half-siblings and Hayley, with the exception of Hope. In his new role as a parent, Klaus has gradually begun to reveal an unexpected aptitude towards the demands of fatherhood by placing his daughter's needs above his own. In the act of abdicating his rule over the French Quarter and handing the reigns of control back to Marcel for the sole purpose of focusing his attention on raising Hope, Klaus exhibits a phenomenal turn-around in his priorities and power-hungry nature as well as in embracing the advent of parenthood and the experience of a new, self-sacrificing love. As a member of the North East Atlantic Pack by blood, Klaus does not get along with any member of the Crescent Wolf Pack at all, for good reason, with the exception of Aiden and Hayley, until the latter betrayed him; by trying to take Hope away from him.
In Season Three, Klaus is warned of a prophecy by Lucien Castle (the first vampire he ever sired) that the remaining Original Vampires will fall in one year, he initially brushed it off, but realizes that Lucien may be right about the prophecy. He also realizes he has to become the ruthless hybrid he once was (prior to him fathering Hope), he joins forces with Elijah and Freya to try to stop the prophecy.
By the end of the third season, Klaus chooses to sacrifices himself to save the rest of his family, going to his trial, for the sins he has committed over the centuries, despite knowing the fact that the trial was nothing more than a joke as Marcel and his former sireline already found him guilty before he was put on trial, condemning him for his actions that he had committed, while he claims he did it in order to protect his family. Klaus condemns them saying they would do the same thing. Klaus is upset that his friendship and family bond with Marcel had ended, as he understands Marcel's anger and vengeance, however, (silently) he cannot make excuses for his ex-best friend's behavior, the look on Klaus' face moments before Marcel stabbed him with Papa Tunde's blade; clearly indicates that he plans to make Marcel suffer for his treachery against him and his half-siblings.
Even five years after his imprisonment, Klaus' personality has not changed much as Marcel had failed to break him emotionally. Initially, he did not want to be reunited with his daughter, as he was afraid that he would fail Hope as her father (as he did not want her to become like him) just like he did with Marcel, despite his best efforts. After some encouragement from Camille O'Connell, a manifestation of his subconsciousness in responses to the torture of the Tunde Blade, he overcame this fear.
When an entity known as The Hollow threatened his daughter's life, he reluctantly returned to New Orleans to deal with this threat once-and-for all, though he gained a disdain for New Orleans, due to the fact that it reminds him of all the horrible things that had happened to the people he cares and love for, such as Camille's death. Despite this, and in an effort to change for Hope, Klaus has become far more merciful. This is evident by the fact that he gave two of the Hollows' followers a choice; they could renounce their allegiance to their master, and leave New Orleans; or they can be killed where they stand, instead of killing them out right as he normally does when there is a threat to his family.
Prior to being rescued by his family from Marcel, Klaus has developed slight PTS (post traumatic stress) as he dislikes being locked up, even if it is for his own protection. Despite this, he shows no remorse for his actions in regards to others in the same aspect, such as with Marcel, knowing the feeling of being secluded for an extended period of time.

## Attitude Toward Humans

Based on what has been seen throughout both *The Originals* and Template:The Vampire Diaries, like Katerina Petrova, Klaus has no regard for human life. However, like Stefan Salvatore, Klaus has been known to keep memoranda of his kills.

In *The Originals*, upon learning of his unborn child, Klaus was willing to allow the witches to kill his unborn child and Hayley to show that he will not be given an ultimatum. Klaus, however, realized what the child could do to his life and saved them, suggesting that he cares about his family. He is shown to kill humans if it suits to his advantage or for feeding. However, he is shown to care for some humans, such as Kieran O'Connell, someone he respected; prior to his death, and Camille O'Connell, his trusted therapist, friend, and a woman he was in love with; prior to her death.

## Physical Appearance

*Main article: Niklaus Mikaelson/Appearance*
 File:VD3X14DL5.jpg   File:Theoriginalsklauscropped.jpg
Klaus is an attractive man. His height is 5'11 (1.80 cm). Klaus possesses curled dirty-blond hair and dark blue eyes that contrasts with his pearl-white skin. His physical appearance is that of a man between 19-21, despite being over 1000 years old. As a vampire and a warrior (from the 10th century), he is well-built. Klaus possesses a delicate and yet masculine face, possibly due to the fact that he was a nobleman between the 11th and the 18th centurys.

Klaus' clothing style is quite casual, usually seen wearing shirts, jeans and jackets, although he can also use a more classic and refined outfit if the situation requires it (ex: the ritual of the moonstone; the Original ball thrown by Esther). He uses accessories, such as leather bracelets or necklaces as seen in most of his scenes on both shows.

## Powers and Abilities

As an Original Vampire, later the Original Hybrid, Klaus is the second strongest of the Original Vampires, second only to his step-father. His Werewolf side has given him additional powers and advantages the others do not possess, making him the one of the most physically powerful immortal beings in the world. Although stronger than his maternal half-sibling due to his werewolf heritage, some of his siblings have been shown to be willing to fight with him with no fear, with Elijah actually able to do so on almost even terms, Elijah seems to have no difficulty trying to start and end fights with Klaus, usually having the upper hand on Klaus himself for a short period of time; before the latter turns the tables on Elijah. Klaus' step-father being notable for surpassing him and whom he initially feared greatly; made worse when Mikael had possessed the White Oak Stake.  File:Tumblr mzfvr5vB2I1tpcjv2o2 500.gif   Klaus' powers improve with the consumption of human blood, assuming his werewolf form or utilizing his lycanthropic enhancements and the full moon. In *Live and Let Die*, it is shown that Mikael was slightly stronger than Klaus, and it should be noted that Mikael was still affected with werewolf venom and Papa Tunde's Blade, therefore not even at full strength yet still demonstrated superior strength than his son. With the death of Mikael, Klaus was at the time the single most physically strongest being around, however, after Lucien and Marcel took the serum and become the Beasts, they had outmatched him in sheer power. Klaus currently remains the second strongest.
Even before Klaus became an Original Vampire, later the Original Hybrid, he was a fairly skilled swordsman, even though he rarely uses a sword, due to his supernatural powers, Klaus' swordsman skills have not diminished.

 File:Tumblr mwwt32haFc1rti9qho2 500.gif
Klaus has shown to be an expert fighter even when unarmed; When Marcel's army took him on, despite being overwhelmed to begin with, he was able to fight them, almost evenly and overpowered most of them, through his fighting skills and original hybrid powers. In that single fight, he killed roughly twenty four non-original vampires single-handedly, showing his skills as a combatant even further. Klaus is far less calm, composed, and strategic in battle than Elijah but has a better mind for coming up with long term plans and back ups, being nearly always one step ahead of his enemies. Due to his long existence, Klaus has seen countless battles and is very experienced in battle. In *Fire with Fire*, Klaus was able to take out six evolved werewolves without any difficulty, when he faced off against Hayley and Jackson, although he had some difficulty taking them both on at the same time, he ultimately got the upper hand; overpowers and defeats them.
His supernatural attributes aside, Klaus' greatest asset is his sharp intellect. His penchant for strategies and forming contingencies way ahead of time, despite the fact that Elijah's penchant for strategies and forming contingencies surpasses his, Klaus has outsmarted Elijah on more than one occasion, Klaus is able to discern a great deal of whatever or whoever is presented to him after only a few keen observations, he was able to figure out that Hope would be sacrificed at the cemetery because it was where the Harvest and the Reaping took place as well as the location of the ancestral witches' burial place, He was able to deduce that his mother was possessing Cassie, he also came up with a plan, to make it look like he has turned against his maternal half-siblings and Hayley, after Elijah daggered him, and after Hayley tried to take his daughter Hope away from him, in order to gain Dahlia's trust to take her down. According to Dahlia, Klaus is arguably the most intelligent of his maternal half-siblings with Elijah occasionally rivaling him.

## Weaknesses

Klaus has some of the typical weaknesses of an Original Vampire and a Werewolf.

## Relationships

### Elijah Mikaelson

*Main article: Elijah and Klaus*
 File:-the-originals- 1x17-1.jpg
Elijah is Klaus' maternal older half-brother. As humans, they were close, engaging in friendly sword fights, however their relationship became strained due to both falling for the same woman, Tatia. After transitioning into vampires, along with their sister, Rebekah, they made a pact to always stick by each other "Always and Forever". In 1492, their close relationship crumbled upon the arrival of the doppelgänger Katerina Petrova. Klaus wanted to use her blood to break the Hybrid Curse, but after her escape, Klaus was furious and blamed his half-brother. Although Elijah promised he would find her, their relationship never recovered as in 2010, Elijah planned to help the Salvatores and Elena Gilbert kill Klaus. After Klaus broke the curse, at Elijah's mercy, he revealed that he didn't kill their family and that their bodies were safe. Elijah saved his half-brother's life, however was neutralized in return. Their bitter relationship continued after Elijah was un-daggered by Damon Salvatore. However, the half-brothers became allies after their mother returned and were unsure of her intentions regarding their family. In the Season Three finale, Elijah bargained for his half-brother's body back and was clearly devastated by his "death". Throughout the trials and tribulations which threatened to rip their brotherly bond, they have recently begun mending their relationship and even though Klaus refused to grant Katherine freedom by Elijah's request, Elijah has stated he won't give up on finding Klaus' redemption.

Unfortunately, Klaus' relationship with Elijah takes a turn for the worst when Elijah chose to believe Tyler's lies over him, that he is (supposedly) aware that his child's blood can make hybrids, and he plans to use his child's blood once she is born to make an army of hybrids, to take over New Orleans, Elijah falsely accused him of only caring about his unborn child, so he could use her to sire more hybrids, Klaus became hurt/enraged by the accusation, he violently bit Elijah in retaliation, their relationship became damaged after this. Klaus eventually forgave Elijah, when he apologized to Klaus for his accusation. Despite the fact that their relationship is now repaired, Klaus is barely on speaking terms with Elijah.

Unfortunately, their relationship becomes worse than ever, when Elijah daggered Klaus and allowed Hayley to try and take Hope away from him, in retaliation Klaus kills his half-brother's girlfriend Gia, and daggered Elijah with Papa Tunde's Blade, their relationship becomes estranged/broken after this, as they both want nothing to do with each other any more.

They reconcile by the end of the third season after allying together to stop the Trinity.

### Rebekah Mikaelson

*Main article: Klaus and Rebekah*
 File:Klaus and Rebekah 2 TO 1x03.jpg
Rebekah is Klaus' maternal younger half-sister. Out of all his half-siblings, he is closest to her, and very protective of her. Klaus cares very deeply for Rebekah, but he seems to have a lot difficulty showing her that it is true. They are loyal to each other. Before she left New Orleans, thus separating, they had never left each other's side and stood by one another no matter what happened. After Klaus was "supposedly" killed by Alaric in *The Departed*, Rebekah was heartbroken over losing her older half-brother whom she loved and never left her. When she finds out in the Season Four premiere that he was still alive, their relationship started to completely and totally fall apart when he chose to save Caroline over his own half-sister. Rebekah confronted him about how she never stopped loving him through everything. It was always her that was there for him when Finn, Kol and Elijah weren't. She then realized that he truly doesn't love her when he told her they are no longer family, and disowned her. But later in the season, Klaus saves her when Kol nearly kills her with a White Oak Stake. Even when she hates him, Klaus shows that he still cares and loves her regardless of what has happened between them. After Klaus is again the King of New Orleans, she begins to form her own army and so to defeat Klaus and Marcel, since she tired of always being used by them. Nevertheless, Rebekah has tried to protect the daughter of Klaus at all costs. When discovering that it was Rebekah who brought their father to New Orleans, he decided to get revenge and wanted answers. She admitted that she wanted him dead as he robbed her of love and happiness. Klaus chooses not to kill Rebekah, but he exiles her from New Orleans permanently, possibly Klaus sees killing Rebekah too merciful; he indirectly threatens to kill Rebekah with the White Oak Stake, if she ever returns to New Orleans. Klaus decided to entrust the safety of her daughter to Rebekah, she returned to New Orleans to take Hope with her and care for her.

### Kol Mikaelson

*Main article: Klaus and Kol*
 File:Bs1eK 4PCUY.jpg
Kol is Klaus' maternal younger half-brother. Kol and Klaus both have a short temper. It is known that Klaus daggered Kol over a century ago. Kol and Klaus seem to argue every time they talk to each other, Kol even joked to Klaus about his dagger threats showing he was not over being daggered for a century. Even though he had been daggered for a century, he quickly got with times as he was seeing playing a video game perfectly. Klaus and Kol both like to drink together and have brotherly bond. Klaus cares deeply for Kol as he was rushing to his body when the Mystic Falls Gang daggered Kol. Kol seems to ruin many of Klaus plans like finding the cure for vampirism, by killing Shane and the newly turned vampires. In *Every Mother's Son* Finn reveals to his brothers that Kol is alive, and Klaus expresses disbelief that Kol would have gone along with Esther, stating that the only thing Kol listens to is his ego, but Finn confirmed Kol's supposed loyalty, saying that their mother's proposition had brought even the wildest of Mikaelsons onto her side. Kol later switches loyalties over to Klaus and Elijah. Klaus and Kol have been seen getting along at time since then, and fighting at others. They seem to banter often and in good fun. Klaus was furious with Kol for hiding where he hid Rebekah, and threw him to hungry vampires in his anger. But Klaus forgave him, when Kol was cursed by Finn. After all, everything Kol has ever wanted was his family to care about him. This wish came true when Kol died because of the curse. Klaus was there on his side, together with Rebekah and Elijah. Before Kol died he wanted Davina to leave him alone, but his three siblings came and Klaus said that Kol can't just flee from "Always and Forever". He died in their arms, as a part of the family. When Kol was brought back, Klaus hugged him even though Kol protected Davina who Klaus wanted to kill.

### Hope Mikaelson

I do not know how this will find you. As a child full of wonder, a teenager full of opinions, or as a woman with the world at her feet. I write to tell you I love you, and to explain that in our family's darkest hour, I was called upon to save my siblings, and so I did. Please do not mourn me, whatever pain I endure, I do so in service of those I love. My sole regret, is that I will be away from you. Be good to your mother. I draw comfort knowing that she will protect you. And I know she will not rest until our family is united. Until then, my sacrifice will allow you to grow. To become the beautiful daughter I can now only imagine. Please remember you are the legacy this family has always desired. The promise we fought to protect.
You are, and always will be, our Hope.

*Main article: Klaus and Hope*
 File:TO403-068-Hope-Klaus.png
Hope is Klaus' only daughter and child with Hayley. In the beginning Klaus wasn't happy with the arrival of his baby, then with time he started to change his mind and began to worry about her safety. He looked happy when Hayley told him that the baby would be a girl, then he began to fight for her protection against his enemies. Now he loves her more than anything and in order to protect her from the people that are trying to kill her, he and Hayley decided it was best to send her away. She was given to Rebekah, who would keep her safe. Klaus was reunited with Hope when her safety was compromised. Hope is now living at home with her parents. The supernatural community is now aware of her existence.

Hope and Klaus' bond remains strong during the rest of the series until they were seperated due to Klaus sacrificing himself to save his family. Klaus feared that Hope would reject him upon being saved from Marcel's captivity. But, apart from some bad things he's done, Hope knows what Klaus is and isn't afraid of him. Hope's memory of Klaus was kept alive because of her mother telling Hope about her father such as his loyalty to his family, his love for her and his interests that she now shares with him.

They were reunited after five years and, despite some initial nervousness on both sides, they shared a lovely day together, it showing just how alike they are. Klaus shared stories from his long life, Hope showed him her magic when she healed a butterfly and they painted together. She knows how strong he is and, because of that, she believes he can keep bad things away.

Once he promised that nothing was going to harm her, Hope hugged him. Despite their time apart Hope calls Klaus 'Dad', showing that their bond is still strong.

Because of her mother telling her about her father, Hope deems Klaus her 'fairytale prince'.

### Hayley Marshall-Kenner

*Main article: Klaus and Hayley*
 File:Klayley690.jpg
Klaus and Hayley first interacted in *The Rager*, when Hayley first visited Tyler in Mystic Falls, being the one who helped him break his Sire Bond. Klaus initially believed her to be a fling of Tyler's whilst in the Appalachians, however it was revealed she came to Mystic Falls in a deliberate attempt to have Klaus murder his hybrids, in exchange for information on her family. She succeeds and disappears, only to come back in *Bring It On*, where Klaus saves her from a vampire sent by Katherine to kill her. Klaus takes her back to his house, after talking a lot Klaus received a call form Rebekah, he tells Hayley that the vampire lurking around to kill her is dead. Even though she had to go, Klaus offers her to stay. She agrees and they end up having sex. Klaus tells Hayley he knows something about her family after noticing a special birthmark on her shoulder. Hayley ends up in New Orleans where she finds out that she is pregnant with Klaus' child. Not keen to the idea at first, Klaus has shown to care about his child in more than one occasion, fearing that someone might try to take her away from him. The relationship between Klaus and the mother of his child has evolved along the series, both coming to a mutual understanding, while Klaus also shows that he cares about her. After her encounter with Klaus' step-father Mikael on the other side and nearly killed by him along with her baby, Hayley is shown by Klaus their child's nursery after Hayley decides to move back to the compound. Klaus and Hayley share a moment in which Klaus asks her what Mikael has told her about him, Hayley tells him "Nothing true", which shows that they now have a good relationship. Klaus and Hayley are friends and they work together in order to keep their child safe.

Unfortunately, Klaus' relationship with Hayley takes a turn for the worse, when Hayley tried to take Hope away from him, in which Klaus became hurt/enraged by this attempt, that he had Dahlia place the Crescent Curse on Hayley and her pack, as punishment for trying to take his daughter away from him. After a few months Hayley is reunited with Hope but her relationship with Klaus remains fractured.

They became closer as they worked together to protect their daughter and their family. They fought against Lucien together with their family and defeated him, and by the end of the season, while Klaus is imprisoned, Hayley now searches for a way to reunite the family.

### Marcel Gerard

*Main article: Klaus and Marcel*
 File:Klaus-hugs-marcel.jpg
Marcel is Klaus' ex-best friend and former student. It's complicated, but they respect each other. There's definitely a history between them. It has been stated many times that Klaus loves Marcel like a son. Also, Marcel is very much in favor of embracing his true nature as a vampire and that’s something he learned from Klaus and something they certainly have in common. When Klaus returns to New Orleans after 100 years, he finds that Marcel has taken control of the city. Seeing that his former student has used everything he's taught him and achieved glory, Klaus wants what he has, forming a rivalry between the two. But Klaus still sees Marcel as his old friend. After Marcel attempted to bury Klaus, he surrendered New Orleans to him and despite their still unresolved differences, Klaus asked Marcel to rule side by side with him. After finding out that Marcel conspired with Rebekah to bring Mikael back in order to get Klaus to run from New Orleans and for him and Rebekah to be together, Marcel was banished from New Orleans. His relationship with Klaus is currently broken as Marcel lives in exile and tries to find a way to get New Orleans back under his rule. After he helped save Klaus' child from being sacrificed, Klaus gave him some blood to cure the werewolf bite and they returned to being allies once more.

By the end of the third season, they have become enemies again, this time for good. As Marcel has put him in agony with Papa Tunde's blade. Even five years after his imprisonment, Klaus still has not forgiven Marcel for his treachery against the Mikaelson family, and mainly because he has missed five years of his daughter, Hope growing up.

### Camille O'Connell

*Main article: Klaus and Camille*
 File:309 Klamille First Kiss.gif
Klaus and Camille's relationship together starts slowly. They first meet at Rousseau's, a bar in New Orleans. Later, they bond over a painter's artwork when Camille describes the artwork and the painter. Klaus is impressed by her and Camille is seen to bring out the humanity in Klaus. Klaus seems to have taken an interest in Camille. He first saw her when she was bar-tending, someone she later remembers as being the "$100 guy". However later on, after being given the news about his child, he was more interested in her when she was looking at an artist painting and she described the story she assumed of the artist. Her words about the man in the painting being "alone", caused him to show his humanity and seemingly change his mind towards the future of his unborn child. He later chose to withheld from her that his child lives, not wanting her to get further involved in the supernatural than she already is. She later found out that his daughter Hope Mikaelson, had survived and she watched over her for him for a short period of time. Camille is Klaus' go to girl when he needs support and she is more than willing to lend an ear and listen to his problems and help him deal with them. They both are shown to care very deeply for each other and have possible feelings for one another. After getting closer to each other gradually, they eventually share their first kiss on Klaus' balcony. However, Cami turned into a vampire due to Aurora's jealousy against Camille.

### Caroline Forbes

*Main article: Klaus and Caroline*
 File:Klaus and Caroline smiles.png
Klaus and Caroline's relationship has slowly been coming together ever since he saved her life on her birthday in *Our Town*. Klaus later developed an unrequited romantic interest in Caroline and invited her to his family's ball. At the ball, they danced and talked together and she soon discovered a soft side to Klaus. When she returned home that night, she found a hand-drawn picture of her and a horse, from Klaus. As the series progressed, Klaus fell for her even more because in his eyes, she's too smart to be seduced by him, she's beautiful, strong and full of light. Despite the constant attempts of her friends to kill him, with Caroline's help, who was trying to distract him, Klaus still cares about her. In *My Brother’s Keeper*, Caroline and Klaus had a date that she accepted in exchange for one of his hybrids to save Elena. They had a fun afternoon where Caroline asks him if he would ever take the cure for become human again, but he evades her question by asking her if she would take the cure. Later, Klaus revealed to Caroline the only time he wanted to be human again, Caroline likes that. When Klaus returned for her graduation, he told Caroline that he intends to be her last love, no matter how long it takes. He believes one day that she will choose him and let him show her the world. After returning to Mystic Falls to see the supposed death of Katherine, Klaus is in the woods with Caroline and he asks her to be honest about her feelings for him and that as soon as they are done with the conversation, he is going to walk away and never come back. Caroline finally accepts that they have a connection and then they share their first kiss which leads up to sex.

### Tyler Lockwood

*Main article: Tyler and Klaus*
 File:VD311C 0263b111230125841.jpeg
Tyler was the first successful hybrid of Klaus' bloodline and Klaus' most trusted hybrid. Initially Tyler was very grateful as Klaus had taken the pain of turning on a full moon away. However due to being supernaturally loyal to Klaus. Tyler was forced to do things he did not wish to do, such as when Klaus made Tyler bite Caroline. After losing his friends and his girlfriend, Tyler vowed to break the sirebond so he would no longer hurt his friends, even if that meant breaking every single bone in his body a hundred times. Klaus was unaware that Tyler started a coup d'etat against him by freeing the other hybrids and claiming the title of the Alpha of the Hybrid Pack. However Hayley who had helped Tyler with this task, had told Klaus, which resulted the massacre of the whole pack excluding Tyler. This wasn't enough to satisfy Klaus' anger, therefore he killed Carol Lockwood in a fit of rage. Enraged by this. Tyler swore vengeance against Klaus, and headed out to New Orleans, to avenge his mother and his fallen friends. After a hectic battle, Tyler was shown to be a worthy opponent despite being outmatched, and was eventually defeated by Klaus, who compelled Tyler to leave and know that he meant nothing to him. Tyler and Klaus were arch nemesis' and had the most intense rivalry on the show. The current state of their feud now is unknown, and possibly ended now that the two have gone down very different paths. Klaus being a father, and Tyler being a vampire hunter.

## Changes from the Books

 File:Klaus in the saga.jpg
In the books, Klaus is of unknown age, but is at least from the Bronze Age. He seems to have fought in every major war through time, most notably in Alexander the Great's army, in the Trojan War, and in the wars that led to the Roman Empire's downfall (on the Germanic side). He then decided to stick around the general area of Germany where, sometime in the 15th century. In the books, Klaus was the one who transformed Katherine into a vampire, in the TV series, it ended up being Rose who played the part, and Klaus and Katherine's back stories have been completely changed from the books. Klaus shows great strength and durability at all times of injury and other vampires feared law. For example: Klaus manipulates the mind of Katherine to inform the brothers Salvatore's that he is dead (Katherine kills Klaus centuries ago, because he is no longer useful). Klaus continually avoids Elena messages or visions to Bonnie and Stefan. A vampire must be invited by someone to enter your home, but Klaus enters Vicki's house and violently murdered her without one. Stefan and Damon fight against Klaus, but do not do any harm. In the books, when everyone tries to fight against Klaus, all of the weapons used against him fail. Klaus more or less kills Stefan, and nearly kills Damon as well, until an intervention from Elena's spirit, leading an army's worth of unquiet Civil War ghosts against him. The ghosts carry a screaming Klaus away, and his current whereabouts (and state of being) are unknown. It was later revealed that when he had attacked Meredith's grandfather before the books started, he had in fact been trying to capture Meredith and her twin brother Cristian. He failed to capture Meredith who became half-human, half-vampire as a result, but got Cristian who became a vampire himself.

## Name

* **Klaus** is a German variation of "Nicholas". From the Greek *Νικολαος* (Nikolaos) meaning "*victory of the people*". It's the name of a saint who is at the origin of Saint Claus legend. It is also a shortened name of Niklaus. **In** **Ancient Norse:**ᚾᛁᚲᛚᚨᚢᛋᛗᛁᚲᚨᛖᛚᛋᛟᚾ.
* **Mikaelson** is of of Scandinavian origin and means "Son of Mikael".

## Tropes

* Chronic Backstabbing Disorder - 'nuff said.
* The Casanova - Katerina (a little) and, most recently, Caroline.
* All Love is Unrequited - Caroline. Despite his attempts to woo her, and the fact that she knows he's in love with her, she is in love with Tyler and keeps refusing his advances. Still has chance to be averted, though is increasingly unlikely given the time he has left in Mystic Falls. See also Sympathy for the Devil .
* A Day in the Limelight - Has an episode named after him. Due to his nature at the time, it also classifies as a Villain Episode .
* Actually fits the Evil Brit accent trope - as the only character on the show with a British accent, this has not been averted nor inverted.
* Monster Sob Story - Due to an illegitimate birth, his step-father Mikael is unjustly more volatile towards him. See Abusive Parents . See also Cry for the Devil .
* Magnificent Bastard - Averted due to Villainous Breakdown
* And I Must Scream - Shared with family. However, instead of being daggered, Klaus must literally be chained and desiccated. When Alaric was turned into a vampire/vampire hunter, Klaus could do nothing to prevent Alaric from staking his desiccated body with the white oak stake .
* SelfMadeOrphan - Niklaus has killed his legal-father and mother.
* Papa Wolf Overprotective Dad- Klaus is very protective of his daughter and has no limits when it comes to Hope's safety and well being. He even killed his own father in order to protect his daughter after he found out about Hope still being alive. Klaus trusts nobody apart from himself when it comes to Hope and his love for her has no bounds.

* In *Farewell to Storyville*, however, he failed to protect Rebekah from Klaus, as the latter stab him with Papa Tunde's blade in retaliation for the pain he caused him, although Klaus chooses not to kill Rebekah, but Elijah is powerless to stop Klaus, who exiled her from New Orleans permanently.
	+ It's revealed that Klaus was the only one of his siblings that was abused by Mikael.

* In *An Unblinking Death*, Klaus snapped Kieran's neck and staked him as a mercy kill.
* In *A Closer Walk With Thee*, Klaus has a dream in which he sees his daughter in a coffin.
* Out of all of the Original Vampires, Klaus can be considered the most dangerous and tempered, as well as the most feared and hated Original Vampire, excluding Mikael as not everyone knows he is an Original Vampire, most believe he is an ancient vampire who hunts other vampires, although they both are tied for their traits and feared as the most dangerous and violent vampires in history.

* Klaus' daughter Hope is the person he loves the most in the world.

* In *American Gothic* Klaus can be seen wearing a cross.
* In *Every Mother's Son* it's revealed in a flashback that Esther gave him a necklace that weakened his untriggered werewolf strength and prevented him from getting enraged. She did this to prevent him from breaking his werewolf curse, though Klaus (correctly) believes it was to hide her affair.
* In *Every Mother's Son*, Finn states that he expected cruelty from Klaus when discussing how he was left daggered for nine hundred years, this indicates that Klaus became cruel and vicious within only a hundred years of being a vampire. This process started when Klaus sired Lucien as they both enjoyed feeding and killing humans.
* In *City Beneath The Sea*, Dahlia states that Klaus is the most intelligent of his maternal half-siblings, as he has no brute Viking blood in his veins.
* Klaus has killed both of his fathers.
	+ He killed Mikael, his step-father, who he grew up believing was his biological father, in TVD. But Mikael had been resurrected by Davina to kill Klaus. However, he was later killed by Klaus again in order to use his Viking ashes to make a weapon to kill his aunt Dahlia despite the two having worked together well earlier that day in a failed attempt to kill Dahlia.
	+ Klaus has also killed his biological father, a werewolf named Ansel, in TO, because Ansel knew Hope was alive and Klaus could not risk Esther finding out from him that his daughter is alive.
* In *Ashes to Ashes*, Klaus kills his aunt by means of Esther.
	+ This makes him the second Mikaelson, beside Mikael to ever physically harm Dahlia.
* Like all of his maternal half-siblings, it is possible Klaus had inherited the witch gene from his mother, though he never tapped into his power.
	+ It is also possible that Klaus could never be a witch due to his werewolf nature, or if he triggered his curse, his witch side would no longer exist.
* In *I'll See You in Hell or New Orleans*, it is revealed that he is the first Original Vampire to sire a vampire.
	+ Lucien Castle is his first sired vampire.
* Klaus is the only one of his siblings to kill all of his parents: his mother Esther, biological father Ansel, and step-father and the one who raised him, Mikael.

So I thought, I would check it out. See for myself what it is you've been hiding. Welcome back to Mystic Falls, Stefan."*
-- *Disturbing Behavior*

(To **Bonnie**) : *"You put a rather large kink in my plans, sweetheart. The whole point of breaking the curse and becoming a hybrid was to make more hybrids. I haven't been able to do that. Now my bet is, it has something to do with the fact that you're still breathing.*."

(To **Rebekah's** dead body) : *"Here we are, Rebekah. Home sweet home. Only took a thousand years. And to think, I was counting on you being here with me. But that's all ruined now, isn't it? I'm so sorry, sister. We'll meet again one day*."
-- *The New Deal*

(To **Caroline**) : *"Do you really think that low of me?"*

I thought about it myself once or twice over the centuries, truth be told. But I'll let you in on a little secret, there's a whole world out there waiting for you, great cities and art and music, genuine beauty, and you can have all of it, you can have a thousand more birthdays. All you have to do is ask."*

(To **Rebekah**) : *"Ain't we a pair*"
(To **Kol**): "*Isn't she stunning?"*
(To **Caroline**) : *"Take a chance Caroline. Talk to me. Come on, get to know me. I dare you."*
(To **Caroline**) : *"Well, that's why I like you!*."
(To **Esther**): "*Enough. All this talk is boring me. End this now, Mother, or I'll send you back to Hell.*"
-- *All My Children*

(To **Bonnie**) : *"There's Jeremy, playing fetch with his new puppy. Oh, isn’t that just the most adorable thing you've ever seen?*"
(To **Bonnie**) : *"Yeah, you'll have to excuse the mess. Apparently Damon hurt her feelings. Go on, help him. Save the man who turned your mother into a vampire.*"
-- *The Murder of One*

(To **Stefan**) : *"So, the fate of the entire vampire race depends on you finding a stake? And to get it we need you to pass out. Which means that I feel totally justified doing this....There sleeping like a baby"*
(To **Stefan**) : *"That's a little gratuitous, don't you think, Stefan? I would have been more gentle."*
-- *Heart of Darkness*

(To **Caroline**) : *"I don't have to prove anything, love. I am the alpha male. Come on. One dance. I won't bite.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"You should be nicer to me. I'm leaving town tomorrow. I'd invite you to come with me, but we both know you're not ready to accept my offer. Perhaps one day, in a year or even a century, you'll turn up at my door and let me show you what the world has to offer.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"You mark my words. Small-town boy, small-town life, it won't be enough for you.*"
(To **Esther**) : *"Your trap failed Mother. I still live and I will go on living and should your beloved spirits try to preserve you again I dare you to come after me. I will build an army so big no one will ever touch me. My survival will haunt you for eternity. You will never destroy me*!"
-- *Do Not Go Gentle*

(To **Jeremy**) : *"Well, for starters, young Jeremy here could show some manners and invite me inside.*"
(To **Stefan** and **Damon**) : *"Hmm..poor lad. Loses one questionable father figure only to be replaced by the likes of the two of you.*"
(To **Damon**) : *"Oh, I know all about my mother's invulnerable little creation and that’s why I'm here. I'm leaving town, just need to pick up a few road trip necessities. Spare tire, flashlight, Doppelgänger.*"
(To **Stefan** and **Damon**) : *"Just so we are clear. The sun sets in about eight hours. If we don’t succeed before then, Elena will be dead, I’ll be gone, and the rest of you will be left to fend for yourselves.*"
(To **Stefan**, **Damon**, and **Bonnie**) : *"Before we all walk through these doors, let’s get on the same page, shall we? I was the one who created your vampire bloodline, therefore I am responsible for your lives and Tyler's life, Caroline's life, and of course, Abby's life, should anything go wrong.*"
(To **Damon**) : *"I'm not lying. But go ahead, call my bluff, let the teacher kill me. You'll all be dead soon thereafter.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"It's okay, it's okay, it's me, you're safe. We'll go save Elena, you go straight home, you stay inside. Do you understand? Do you understand me?.*"
(To **Elena**) : *"You know Stefan blames me for trying to tear him from his brother, but I think we both know who really came between them. You. That’s why you won’t choose. You know once you pick a Salvatore, you'll destroy their bond.*"
(To **Elena**) : *"Consider this me doing you a favor. Once you're dead, you won’t have to choose. No broken hearts. Their family stays intact. But just between us girls, who would you have picked?*"
-- *Before Sunset*

(To **Caroline**) : *"Your mouth was all over me, I was an innocent victim!*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"Maybe I'll take you up on your offer of hot hybrid sex.*"
(To **Rebekah**) : *"Hello, brother! I thought you were dead. So pleased you're not!*"
(To **Rebekah**) : *"I know how easily they can be silenced with a dagger!*"
-- *Growing Pains*

(To **Tyler**) : "*You went off to the Appalachians to break my sire bond. There you met a pack of werewolves, among them was a girl. She was gorgeous with the same animal instincts as you. Emotions ran high and ambitions ran low. In a moment of weakness the thick sexual tension became something much more real. And Caroline has no idea.*"
(To **Damon**) : *"Tyler's otherwise occupied (...) I, however.*"
(To **Connor**) : *"Truth be told, I'm as evil as it gets.*"
(To **Connor**) : *"Nice try, but I'm faster than your average vampire.*"
(To **Stefan**) : *"For future references one voice-mail is just as effective as nine.*"
(To **Stefan**) : *"If you were able to rid world of me, what would you do? Let´s play this game for a moment.*"
(To **Elena**) : *"You may be of use to me after all.*"
(To **Connor**) : *"Congratulation. You just become worth more to me alive than dead.*"
-- *The Rager*

(To **Stefan**) : *"I should probably buff up on the hybrid security.'"*
(To **Stefan** and **Rebekah**) : *"Oh and Stefan, trust me when I say this. That hunter in there holds the answer to all your prayers.'"*
(To **Rebekah**) : *"Rebekah, love, eat your veggies.'"*
(To **Rebekah**) : *"You got rid of all of Elena's blood so I can't make any more hybrids.'"*
(To **Rebekah**) : *"That's what big brothers do.'"*
(To **Elijah**) : *"He is nothing. I could eat him for sport.*"
(To **Rebekah**) : *"I mean it's pathetic really, isn't it? How she continues to hand her heart to any man who shows her a hint of affection. You think she would have learned by now from the endless cycle of disappointment and deception.*"
(To **Stefan**) : *"You have the chance to save Elena from the very thing that is going to destroy her. You can call it a deal with the devil if you'll like. But you know you won't walk away from it.'"*
(To **Rebekah**) : *"Cheers. To my sister's uncanny ability to choose men.*"
(To **Rebekah**) : *"I'm sorry little sister but you really are a hopeless fool.*"
(To **Stefan**) : *"Some secrets are stronger than family.*"
--*The Five*

(To **Stefan**) : *"And I trust no one. Which is why my sister is lying dagger in the box."*
(To **Tyler**) : "*Should I just assume your back to being, how did you phrase it, ah yes... My little Bitch"*
-- *The Killer*

(To **Tyler**) : "*Thought, I'd just pop round to celebrate Dean's successful retrieval of the vampire hunter."*
(To **Hayley**) : "*Maybe you should mind your business, wolf girl."*
(To **Stefan**) : *"The hunter was one of five. We'll find another."*
(To **Stefan**) : *"Have the hallucinations started yet?"*
(To **Stefan**) : *"You know, this would all be a lot more civilized if I was just invited inside."*
(To **Elena**) : *"The hallucinations tend to appear in strange forms. Don't say I didn't warn you."*
(To **Caroline**) : *"Caroline, you're beautiful but if you don't stop talking I will kill you."*
(To **Stefan**) : *"She'll need to come with me now. I'll lock her up; keep her away from any, sharp, wooden objects."*
(To **Elena**) : *"Oh, but you'll want. I did. The problem is, I'm immortal."*
(To **Elena**) : *"For 52 years, 4 months and 9 days. I was tormented… In my dreams. My every waking moment. Relentless, never-ending torture. It was the only period of my life when I actually felt time."*
(To **Hayley**) : "*Don't tempt me, little wolf."*
-- *We All Go a Little Mad Sometimes*

(To **Stefan**) : *"In what world do the words "tell no one" mean "tell your brother and every teenage sycophant in town.*"
(To **Stefan**) : *"Well, then I suggest you find some vampires for Jeremy to kill before I’m tempted to offer you up as a victim.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"Easy love, you're making a scene.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"Let's get you a drink. I'll tell you all about being the bad guy.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"Now, why would I want to cure myself of being the most powerful creature on the planet?*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"I never answered your question; if I ever thought about being human. Once, I was on a trek in the Andes, and a hummingbird flew up to me. It just hovered there, staring at me, its tiny heart was pattering like a machine gun. And I thought, what a thing, you know, to have to work that hard every day just to stay alive. To be constantly on the verge of death and how satisfying every day must be that it survived. And that was the only time I thought about being human.*"
-- *My Brother’s Keeper*

(To **Stefan**) : *"I prefer to think of it as an expression of post-modernism.*"
(To **Stefan**) : *"What is the point of my hybrids being sired to me if I can't maximize on the benefits of free labor?*"
(To **Stefan**) : *"I think right now I'm the best friends you've got.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"Well, it's a good thing that the high school part is nearly over.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"Is that our thing?."*
(To **Stefan**) : *"Loneliness Stefan, that's why you and I memorialize our dead. There's the briefest of moments where we hold their life in our hands and then we rip it away and we're left with nothing. So gathering other peoples letters or writing their names on a wall is a reminder that we are left infinitely and utterly alone."*"
(To **Carol Lockwood**) : *"And you're all he has. There's a beautiful symmetry to that, don't you think?*"
-- *O Come, All Ye Faithful*

(To **Damon**) : *"Twelve... that's a number. That's how many of my hybrids I slaughtered with my sword. Three. That's how many days it took me to quell the urge to kill your brother, after he knowingly watched as I walked into a death trap. One that's the number of purposes you serve.*"
(To **Damon**) : *"And here was I, thinking you were the fun brother.*"
(To **Damon**, **Jeremy** and **Matt**) : *"I was beginning to worry you boys wouldn't find the place.*"
(To **Damon**) : *"I'm going to need that cure sooner rather than later, hybrid shortage and all."*"
(To **Damon**) : *"Actually, I'm just perplexed.*"
(To **Damon**) : *"That's why I've already made the necessary corrections.*"
(To **Damon**) : *"I'm simply appreciating the sights and smells of nature, neither of which presently include rotting vampire flesh, so I’m a bit concerned.*"
-- *After School Special*

(To **Stefan**) : *"Well, I apologize for breaking up this sordid little twist.'"*
(To **Damon**) : *"I expected more the daring escape artist less the cell potato.'"*
(To **Damon**) : *"You brother's lack of communication is infuriating."*
(To **Damon**) : *"Well, if it isn't the happy homicidal maniac.'"*
(To **Damon**) : *"Is it willful ignorance or perhaps something more pathological.'"*
(To **Jeremy**) : *"You really think I care for an instant about my bloody hybrids. I want the cure so I could destroy it, I would have killed you all the second we dug it up. But now I'm just going to watch you burn instead.'"*
(To **Jeremy**) : *"I will hunt all of you to your end! Do you hear me?! Do you?!"*
-- *A View to a Kill*

(To **Tyler**) : "*I recommend drowning. There is nothing quite like the feeling for someone fighting for something as basic as human breath and let me tell you, your mother was a fighter."*
(To **Caroline**) : *"Tyler's mother is dead. So is my brother. We're even."*
(To **Caroline**) : *"How quickly you forget the part where I saved Tyler from the misery of being a werewolf. Or the night your mother invited me into her home to save the life of her precious daughter."*
(To **Tyler**) : *"See, now I think you're just telling me what I want to hear. I mean, you did call me pathetic earlier. And wouldn’t it be more pathetic of me to help now knowing that, hours ago, you announced your plan to kill me in a manner of which you’re still debating because you want it to have a certain amount of flair? Just asking."*
(To **Caroline**) : *"I'm a thousand years old. Call it boredom."*
(To **Caroline**) : *"Fine. Then maybe it's because I'm pure evil…and I can't help myself."*
-- *Into the Wild*

(To **Tyler**) : "*Well, if it isn't little orphan Lockwood. Come to show how laughably impotent you are against me?*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"Right. Well, might I suggest using the magic of the internet to purchase an Aramaic-to-English dictionary from your nearest retailer.* "
(To **Caroline**) : *"If only you spoke Aramaic.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"Not only I can, I have to. I have a reputation to uphold. Moreover, I want to.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"You prefer who you are now to the girl you once were. You like being strong, ageless, fearless. We're the same, Caroline.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"Mercy... for Tyler. Very well. Tell him to leave town immediately. (He starts walking away but turns back) And tell him to run and hide in a place I will never find him.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"Tell him that this is the mercy I extend for your sake... that I will give him a head start before I kill him.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"Don't worry, love. You know I'd never hurt you.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"I've done more than enough. I've shown kindness, forgiveness, pity... because of you, Caroline. It was all for you.*"
-- *Down the Rabbit Hole*

(To **Stefan**) : *"Don't underestimate the allure of the darkest, Stefan. Even the purest hearts are drawn to it*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"Somebody's been skipping their geometry classes. There are actually two places where the third massacre could be.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"So you never felt the attraction that comes when someone who is capable of doing terrible things for some reason cares only about you?*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"Hey, hey, You look like you're in need of comfort. Why don't you find someone less terrible you can relate to.*"
-- *Because the Night*

(To **Caroline**) : *"Well, I'm glad you are finding my misery so amusing.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"You killed twelve witches for your friend Bonnie, you can't even get your hands a little dirty for me?, here I thought we were becoming friends.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"I will not have my hand forced by you or anyone else.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"The pain is gone, it was... it was never there. He got in my head. Silas, got inside my head. You took my mind off it, you brought me back, Caroline.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"You might have noticed, I'm not exactly scouring the earth for him, am I?.*"
-- *American Gothic*

(To **Elijah** about **Silas**) : *"He wants to reunite with his lost soul-mate. You of all lovesick fools should applaud his devotion.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"Of course I heard you, Caroline. I think the whole of Mystic Falls heard you. I'm in no mood for company.*"
(To **Rebekah**) : *"Your happiness comes at the expense of my sanity, because I refuse to entertain yet another one of your whims, because you are bored and you're looking for a reason to matter.*"
(To **Elijah**) : *"I gave you that opportunity. And you sided against me. So if I run, it'll be to chase her. And as your only living brother, I will make it my cause that you never know a moment of happiness.*"
(To **Rebekah**) : *"You can stand idly by as poor April takes her final breath. You can ask, "Why does this always happen to innocent people? Where do the spirits go? Was there anything I could have done?" That is what it means to be human, sister. You give humanity too much credit.*"
(To **Tyler**) : "*Was it worth it?. To see her smile?. To make her dream night come true?. Was it worth it?. In the shared interest of giving Caroline the night of her dreams, I'm going to allow you five seconds before I rip the heart out of your chest. 5, 4, 3.*"
-- *Pictures of You*

(To **Sophie**) : *"I assure you love, there is not a thing on this earth that would matter enough for me to waste even 30 more seconds of my time.*"
(To **Sophie**) : *"Kill her and the baby, what do I care?.*"
(To **Elijah)**) : *"It's a trick, Elijah.*"
(To **Elijah**) : *"Marcel has got everything I ever wanted: power, loyalty, family. I want what he has. I want it back. I want to be king.*"
(Call phone to **Caroline**) : *"Caroline, I'm standing in one of my favorite places in the world surrounded by food, music, art, culture, and all I could think about is how much I want to show it to you. Maybe one day you'll let me.*"
-- *The Originals*

(To the witches) : *"There are plenty more of these to go around. Who's next? I can do this all day."*

(To **Caroline**) : *"You know, while you've been vamping off in all the wrong directions, I heard Matt's distant ans desperate screams.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"Don't worry, love. I've got it covered. Trust me. He'll be quite happy with his rescuer.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"I came all the way to Mystic Falls to gloat over a corpse to be, as you so poetically put it, but I will leave minus the gloating in return for one small thing.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"Me... As soon as we're done here, I'm gonna walk away and I'm never coming back. You'll never again have to look me in the eye and cover our connection with hostility and revulsion. You'll never have to loath the darkest parts of yourself that care for me in spite of all I’ve done. I will be gone and you'll be free. I just want you to be honest with me.*"
(To **Caroline**) : *"I will walk away. And I will never come back. I promise.*"

(To **Elijah**) : "*And noble Elijah always keeps his word.*"
(To **Elijah**) : "*Forgive me, my brother. There's no power in love. Mercy makes you weak. Family makes you weak. If I'm going to win this war, I have to do it alone.*"
-- *Always and Forever*

(To **Rebekah**) : "*Enough with all the shouting.*"
(To **Rebekah**) : "*He's king of the quarter now, and he has these rules about killing vampire. It will be fun to see what sort of punishment he comes up with you.*"
(To **Rebekah**) : "*Perhaps he's on holiday or taking a long autumn nap upstairs.*"
(To **Rebekah**) : "*Well, he wasn't good enough for you.*"
(To **Rebekah**) : "*I know you don't have many friends, Rebekah, but what some friends do when they get together is they drink, and when they drink, they tell secrets.*"
(To **Camille**) : *"Abnormal psychology, well, perhaps you could help me diagnose my friend over here. He's been a little bit depressed. Can't get his mind of a girl. He tells me she's a queen fit for a king. I think he should cut his losses and move on. What's your professional opinion?.* "
(To **Marcel**) : "*Only that she's grown considerably more insane in the last century.* "
(To **Marcel**) : "*Doubtful. Unless that biker bar is frequented by small-town high school quarterbacks, I can't imagine she'd be interested.* "
(To **Rebekah**) : "*It's not going to happen... sister, if we turned every man you dropped your knickers for, then, human beings would cease to exist and we would have no bloody food.*"
(To **Hayley**) : "*What stopped you? You could have been free of all of this, of me.*"
(To **Hayley**) : "*It's time to fight little wolf.*"
(To **Hayley** about **Marcel**) : "*I made Marcel everything that he is, I treated him like a son, and when my father chased me and my family from New Orleans a hundred years ago, we believed Marcel was killed. We each mourned him our own way. Yet when I returned, I found not only had he survived, he had thrived.* "
(To **Hayley**) : "*Now he is living in our home, he is sleeping in our beds. The letter "M" he stamps everywhere, i'ts not for "Marcel", it's for Mikaelson... I want it all back, and if I have to push him out to get it, then that's exactly what I'll do.* "
(To **Rebekah**) : "*Well, don't stand on ceremony.*"
(To **Rebekah**) : "*I did what I had to do! Marcel took our home.* "
-- *House of the Rising Son*

(To **Rebekah**) : "*Was I supposed to leave them in the front yard to rot? Besides, they were my responsibility. They attacked the helpless pregnant girl who's carrying my child.* "
(To **Hayley**) : "*My plan for global domination, or Rebekah's plan to find love in a cruel, cruel world.* "
(To **Hayley**) : "*In the front, if we're being specific.* "
(To **Hayley**) : "*Okay. Well, firstly, Marcel is not my mortal enemy—he is my friend, albeit one who is unaware that I'm trying to sabotage his hold over the supernatural community of the French Quarter, but a friend nonetheless. And secondly, I daggered Elijah in order to gain Marcel's trust. If I had known he would place my brother in the hands of a particularly nasty teenaged witch, I certainly would have weighed my options a bit differently. And thirdly, sister, please.*"
(To **Rebekah** and **Hayley**) : *"And I don't have only a Plan A. There's always a Plan B.*"
(To **Thierry**) : "*You're not still upset about that little, toxic werewolf bite I gave you, are you? I thought we were at bygones.*"
(To **Marcel**) : "*Your inner circle man lacks a sense of humor.*"
(To **Marcel**) : "*How can I miss my chance to meet the city councilman as he accepts your gigantic charitable donation?*"
(To **Rebekah**) : "*Much longer than you'd think, considering the answer was, as expected, "no". Marcel's man, Thierry, is suspicious. He thinks you killed 10 nightwalkers.*"
(To **Josh)**) : "*It's not about what he did. It's about what he's going to do when we're done here, which is whatever I want him to, just like you. For example, drive this through his torso.*"
(To **Josh)**) : "*Good. That is how a brand-new nightwalker such as yourself is here doing my bidding with no one the wiser.*"
(To **Josh)**) : "*Be quick about it. I have an army to build, and one compelled minion does not an army make.*"
(To **Rebekah**) : "*Oh, to be young and in love in a city where witches and vampires are at war. How very tragic.* "
(To **Sophie**) : *"Let me cut to the chase. Davina has Elijah. You witches, I assume, want to get Davina away from Marcel. We don't know where she is. Ergo, we need magic.*"
(To **Marcel**) : "*Still... You don't want the witches to get too bold, given that a witch's tip about a werewolf in town led to the disappearance of your nightwalkers. I'm sure you've considered the possibility that it could've been a trap.* "
(To **Rebekah**) : "*Well, this certainly is a fitting backdrop for tonight's events, I must say.* "
(To **Camille**) : *"Well, don't be fooled, love. I'm the devil in disguise.* "
(To **Rebekah**) : "*Well, this certainly is a fitting backdrop for tonight's events, I must say.* "
(To **Rebekah**) : "*Oh, I'm well aware. I killed Katie.* "
-- *Tangled Up In Blue*

(To **Camille**) : *"I think I prefer to talk to you. So, I'm going to offer you a job, as my stenographer."*
(To **Camille**) : *"My memoirs, of course. Someone should know my story. And it will give us time to discuss other riveting subjects, like your handsome suitor, Marcel. "*
(To **Camille**) : *"My memoirs, of course. Someone should know my story. And it will give us time to discuss other riveting subjects, like your handsome suitor, Marcel. "*
(To **Camille**) : *"I've seen quite a lot in my time. The world is a rather awful place. Best to meet it on its own terms."*
(To **Camille**) : *"I'm going to go ahead and insist that you change your answer to 'yes'. "*
(To **Tim**) : *"I believe you and I share an acquaintance... Be a good lad and help me send her a message. "*
(To **Camille**) : *"The boy has a gift. You can't compel a person to play like that. "*
(To **Camille**) : *"I've seen quite a lot in my time. The world is a rather awful place. Best to meet it on its own terms. "*
(To **Camille**) : *"We all must stand alone against our demons. "*
(To **Davina** and **Tim**) : *"You two are absolutely adorable! Warms my heart, it really does, but I do need a word with the young lady. "*
(To **Davina**) : *"You should know, I don't do well with demands. "*
(To **Davina**) : *"Your choice, little witch. Swear allegiance to me alone and the boy lives. Stand against me... "*
(To **Tim**) : *"It wasn't my intent to. But, sadly, we've run out of time to play nice. "*
(To **Davina**) : *"One of the tragic consequences of war. Innocent bystanders. What terrible guilt you'll have to live with, young Timothy's blood on your hands. "*
(To **Davina**) : *"If he remembers seeing you, he might come looking. If the witches learn of him, if they know you have a weakness, then poor Tim might end up as leverage in an awful scheme to control you. Again. "*
(To **Davina**) : *"All fixed! And now, you owe me a favor. "*
(To **Rebekah** and **Hayley**) : *"Fine! Agnes, Sophie, it's all the same to me! I'll slaughter the lot of them! "*
(To **Camille**) : *"I need your loyalty, yes, and though it may appear selfish to you, the scope of my plan goes far beyond myself! Power aside, I am trying to honor my brother! "*
(To **Camille**) : *"You will do nothing. Your brother was ill. He killed those people and himself, and it was a tragedy. All you can do is move on. "*
-- *Girl in New Orleans*

(To **Sophie**) : *"We had a deal! You protect my unborn child, I dismantle Marcel's army. And whilst I've been busy fulfilling my part of the bargain, you allowed Hayley to be attacked and almost killed by a gaggle of lunatic witches. "*
(To **Sophie**) : *"Well, I grow fonder of this child by the second. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*Rather you than me. All that responsibility seems like such a bore. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*Dead witches in the bayou. Sounds like less of a problem, and more like a cause for celebration. "*
(To **Sophie**) : *"Those witches tried to kill Hayley. I'd prefer for Marcel's informant not to find anything that would lead him back to us, to her, or to... you know... that. "*
(To **Rebekah**) : "*According to the dreadful signage, it's Big Auggie's Bayou Bar. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*Well, I suppose it will give us a chance to talk things over, like why you haven't returned Elijah. Maybe your young witch has grown partial to his company. She must get so bored. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*You and Sophie? You hypocrite. You torture those witches, and yet there you were, getting positively Romeo and Juliet with Sophie Deveraux. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*I might have read about that. The boy... killed a twin, or he was a twin or something. "*
(To **Rebekah**) : "*That was fast work, Rebekah. Where's Marcel? In there, touching up his lipstick? "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*An immutable law of nature, Marcel, is the strong always take from the weak. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*You've been playing king with a bunch of children for too long. Don't mistake me for one of your nightwalker lackeys, Marcel. I can take Davina anytime I like. "*
-- *Sinners and Saints*

(To **Elijah**) : "*I presumed, after so much time desiccating in a coffin, that my big brother might be a bit peckish. "*
(To **Rebekah**) : "*Nonsense. Elijah's back. In his presence, all problems turn to pixie-dust and float away! "*
(To **Sabine**) : "*Day one with you in charge, brother, and already the witch linked to Hayley has been abducted by zealots. "*
(To **Kieran**) : "*Easier said than done. Marcel is quite the little warrior. "*
(To **Agnes**) : "*Enough! Please, enough! I don't care about witch politics. I don't care about your ridiculous little Harvest ritual. What I care about is this trinket... Undo its curse, or I'll show you things worse than death! "*
(To **Elijah**) : "*You tend to give your word at the most inopportune times, brother. We've been doing things your way all day. Come on! Just one little snap and it's "Toodle-loo, Agnes." She deserves it! "*
(To **Elijah**) : "*My noble brother, how was that for personal growth, eh? Still, it is just like you to spoil all of my fun. "*
(To **Camille**) : *"Well, you needn't trouble yourself over her. She's already paid for her actions in blood. "*
(To **Camille**) : *"Forgive me if I'm a little surprised by your reaction... "*
(To **Camille**) : *"I've been alive for a thousand years, and I can assure you, many people have died for far less! Besides, now you can find comfort in the truth! "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*Oh, the Palace Royale didn't suit me, I moved on weeks ago. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*Well, how rude of me. I'll speak to Elijah. I'm sure he'll be pleased to host you and Davina for the evening! Especially after you were so hospitable to him. "*
-- *Fruit of the Poisoned Tree*

(To **Marcel**) : "*She's an old friend. You know how sentimental I am about old friends."*
(To **Elijah**) : "*Clearly, she hopes to make the acquaintance of more like herself. I suppose our company wasn't good enough for her."*
(To **Elijah**) : "*No, but I found someone else's. This vehicle reeks of someone I thought I was rid of...Tyler Lockwood."*
(To **Elijah**) : "*He wants revenge because I went after his girl."*
(To **Elijah**) : "*Back when I had the means to sire hybrids, he was my first, Although, I didn't give him much choice in the matter."*
(To **Elijah**) : "*He was loyal in the beginning, but he grew insubordinate, turned my other hybrids against me. I couldn't have that, so I massacred the lot of them. Tyler ran like a coward before I could finish him off."*
(To **Elijah**) : "*He needed to be taught a lesson!"*
(To **Elijah**) : "*So you do care about her. Well, go on, then. Have at it, brother. Save her. Claim what spoils you can. I've sampled what she has to offer and let me tell you, she is exquisite"*
(To **Elijah**) : "*Enough. I'll kill Tyler Lockwood myself."*
(To **Tyler**) : "*Hello, Tyler. You look well! I aim to change that."*
(To **Tyler**) : "*What would Caroline say if she saw what you've become? Perhaps I'll ask her, when I call her to tell her of your demise."*
(To **Tyler**) : "*Come on, mate! Give it a bit more effort! I want to enjoy myself."*
(To **Tyler**) : "*You've grown bloodthirsty. Perhaps it's best your mother didn't live to see you like this, hahahahaha!"*
(To **Tyler**) : "*It's sad, really. I thought I made you better. Turns out you're quite the disappointment."*
(To **Tyler**) : "*And thus ends your tedious little life. At least it was brief!"*
(To **Tyler**) : "*Ahhh, you want me to end your suffering, don't you, hmm? I did break you! Took everything from you, and now you're begging me to sweep away the shards of your shattered little life."*
(To **Tyler**) : "*Death offers more peace than you deserve. It's better to let you live. And each morning, you will wake knowing your wretched existence continues only by my will... Now go, and live the rest of your days knowing that you are nothing to me."*
(To **Elijah**) : "*And, of course, you assume it's true. I mean, why else would I show interest in my own flesh and blood? A heartbroken little crybaby points his finger at me, and my own brother falls in line, eager to believe it! How quickly you believe the worst, especially when it comes from her."*
(To **Elijah**) : "*My big brother, so, you doubt my intentions? Well, I can't say I'm surprised, standing next to the noble Elijah, how can I be anything but the lesser brother? A liar, a manipulator, a bastard."*
(To **Elijah**) : "*That's all I am to you, isn't it? And Rebekah. And, judging by the way Hayley hangs on your every word, it's clear she feels the same way! No doubt my child will as well."*
(To **Elijah**) : "*You've said all that needs to be said, Brother... I'll play the role I've been given."*
(To **Elijah** and **Hayley**) : "*You two enjoy each other's company. You'll have much to bond over, once the hallucinations and dementia set in. Consider that bite to be my parting gift to you both."*
(To **Rebekah**) : "*Elijah and I had a bit of a row. Haha, Hayley's conspired to turn him against me. You know our brother was never one to resist a pretty face! So, one thing led to another, and I bit him, left them both stranded in the swamp."*
(To **Rebekah**) : "*Perhaps we will. After all, you know I'm capable of forgiving those who disappoint me! As soon as they've seen the error of their ways, and suffered for them. You'd do well to remember that."*
-- *Bloodletting*

(To **Rebekah**) : "*He's been mysteriously silent - avoiding me, some might say. I thought perhaps he may have whispered reasons into your ear. Along with all of those sweet nothings. "*
(To **Rebekah**) : "*Oh, come on Rebekah, you've been giving me the devil's eye all morning. Out with it! "*
(To **Rebekah**) : "*Poppycock! I would never bite you. Elijah made some very offensive accusations about my intentions towards my child. He deserves a day or two of discomfort. Besides, you know my preferred method of punishment for your indiscretions is the dagger."*
(To **Camille**) : *"They have all forsaken me. My siblings are as deceitful in disease just as my parents ever were. Accusing me of using my baby for my own gain, trusting others before their own blood. "*
(To **Camille**) : *"That typewriter was good enough for Hemingway. "*
(To **Camille**) : *"You know if the daggers weren't missing I would put one in each of their hearts. Rid myself of the burden of my siblings for a couple of centuries. "*
(To **Camille**) : *"I'm scared of nothing. "*
(To **Josh)**) : "*All the world's a stage, young Joshua. And it just so happens I have the role of a lifetime for you. "*
(To **Josh)**) : " *When I run New Orleans, there will be a permanent daylight ring in it for you, Joshua. For services rendered on to your true king. "*
(To **Josh)**) : "*But if you ever betray me, I will make sure you spend the rest of your eternal life in exquisite agony, wishing for a merciful death. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*Apologies for my behavior can come later. You have something of mine. I want it back. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*The evil bastard Klaus has gone too far. Must be punished. And by his own sibling, nonetheless. How positively biblical. "*
(To **Elijah**) : "*Relax, brother. I've sent rumor that the bodies are result of the witches seeking blood sacrifice for their rituals. "*
(To **Elijah**) : "*Oh, yes! The witch you've been knocking around with. Well, fear not. Harlots are like rats in the quarter. You trip over one every step you take. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*Well, well, well. The great Marcel, self-proclaimed king of New Orleans, bowing before me. "*
(To **Elijah**) : "*Perhaps it should be you, brother! Stealing my child away with every fawning moment of tenderness you show to Hayley! "*
(To **Elijah**) : "*It has everything to do with her! She's adored you since she arrived. And now my child, my blood will grow up to call you father! "*
(To **Elijah** and **Rebekah**) : *"Is that so? What have I done lately, other than cooperate? I bow down to you, brother, to make up for daggering you. For the greater good of our plan to reclaim our home. Looked the other way, sister. While you repeat the same cycle with Marcel, falling again for a man you shouldn't be with, while he controls the empire that we built! That he took! Now, I make no excuses for past sins. But in the one moment when you two could have chosen to stand by me - to believe in me - to believe my intentions for my own child were pure. You chose to stand against me, to side with my enemies. I wanted our home back. Now I have it. So I'm going to live there. And the two of you... you can stay here together... and rot. "*
(To **Hayley**) : "*Because, Hayley, that child you carry is the only thing on this earth that matters to me. Now you can fight me on this, but you will lose. As will anyone else who tries to stop you getting in this car. "*
-- *The River in Reverse*

**Klaus** : *"Let us begin with a toast to our shared gift: immortality. After a thousand years, one might expect life to be less keenly felt. For its beauties and its sorrows to diminish with time. But as vampires, we feel more deeply than humans could possibly imagine."*
**Klaus** : *"So eat, drink and be merry, and tomorrow I suggest you have yourselves a little wolf hunt. Go ahead, have fun. Kill them all!"*
(To **Camille**) : *"And so then I bit Elijah and left him in the bayou with my hybrid venom in his veins. Serves him right for making such vile accusations against me. And then... Are you taking this down? "*
(To **Camille**) : *"My memoirs. Thousand years of history isn't going to write itself. "*
(To **Camille**) : *"I mean, to be clear, I only compelled you to give him a chance. Anything you felt for him was quite real... and for the record, the level of awkwardness we're all currently experiencing is entirely genuine. "*
(To **Camille**) : *"Actually I prefer "devoted stenographer". "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*Thierry was never disloyal to you, I set him up in an attempt to locate my brother. He's your friend, and consequently he can return to the compound at your discretion. Cami's part you just learnt, and then there's young Joshua. I've been compelling him from the beginning, although I suspect you already knew that as he was the one who led me into your trap. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*And then there's Davina. She's a powerful weapon, at this point I'd like to keep her close at hand. I think we should have her move in to the compound here with us. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*Yes, about that... Turns out your little witch is quite the actress. She made a deal with Elijah while he was in captivity, tricked you into letting her stay put in exchange for some spells from our mother's grimoire. "*
(To **Davina**) : *"Plus, there's excellent light in the afternoon... I see you're an artist. Wonderful! I look forward to witnessing your many talents! "*
(To **Davina**) : *"Davina, please. I understand you're devoted to Marcel, but Marcel is devoted to me. I assume you'll want what's best for all of us... We have a meeting to attend downstairs. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*I think it goes far more gracious than they deserved. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*You're disappointed by my lack of diplomacy. You out of all people should need no reminder of the human capacity for cruelty. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*I was beginning to worry about you. I don't think I could've taken any more of this differential nonsense. I mean clearly I underestimated the faction, that won't happen again, but tell me: Now that we've arrived to this point, now that they have come into our home, visited this upon our people... How would you council me to respond? "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*You're disappointed by my lack of diplomacy. You out of all people should need no reminder of the human capacity for cruelty. "*
(To **Kieran**) : "*There he is. Our lone survivor. Such a sad day for our city. Some of its best and brightest killed in a tragic boating accident on the Mississippi. Rather nasty explosion, I heard. "*
(To **Kieran**) : "*Very well. Use this reprieve to remake your human faction. "*
(To **Kieran**) : "*Well surely there's a depute Mayor. Choose new leaders. Then we'll re-open negotiations. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*To our united front! This act of yours, the imitation of friendship. Don't get me wrong, you played the part well enough, I should know, having played it myself. There was a time when the affinity between us was quite real. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*Fair enough. Then you should probably know the whole story. My decision was not entirely my own. If I didn't agree to usurp your power, the witches swore to kill my unborn child. But at first the promise of an offspring meant little to me. Then I recalled my father; how he held me in contempt from the moment I was born. As yours did with you. I will not do to my child what was done to me. To us. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*I admit. I was jealous. I saw the empire you had created on your own, without me. I saw it - and I wanted it. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*This community that you've built - you have their respect. Their love. I could rule them but I cannot win them, not without you. So rule with me. Side by side as equals. Friends. Brothers. "*
(To **Hayley**) : "*Not for long, love. I mean, this so-called family of yours, they haven't done you much good, have they? You said it yourself: they abandoned you and left you on your own. Now it's simply your turn to do the same. "*
(To **Hayley**) : "*Yes, while I have reason too, little wolf. If the werewolves are dead, then the vampires have less desire to kill you. I am trying to keep you safe. Not that you appreciate the effort."*
(To **Elijah** and **Rebekah**) : *"Serves you right, for your pathetic attempt to undermine my rule. "*
(To **Elijah** and **Rebekah**) : *"When I order werewolves to be hunted to extinction I expect you to stand aside and let the blood flow. "*
(To **Elijah**) : "*What home? This pathetic substitute? You see, despite all your doubts, all you attempts to thwart me, I've reclaimed our true home. I took back the entire city. "*
(To **Kieran**) : "*You see, I recently ordered the slaughter of a group of vagabonds out in the bayou. Turns out, I may have been too hasty. Thing is, if the vampires find out I'm protecting them, it won't sit well. "*
(To **Camille**) : *"You're tenacious. It's one of the things I like most about you. "*
(To **Camille**) : *"But you're looking for truths you don't want to find. Monsters are better left as fiction. It's time for you to leave this place, Cami. For your own good. "*
(To **Camille**) : *"If you knew even a fraction of who I am, it would break you in two! "*
(To **Camille**) : *"Knowing what you do about this world will only get you killed, and I cannot allow that. Leave New Orleans. Forget everything you've learned here today. Forget me. You have no reason to stay. "*
(To **Elijah**) : "*And yet you're obstinate in your desire to do so. When you're ready, should you be so inclined, both you and Rebekah are welcome to join me here. It is, after all, our family home. "*
-- *Reigning Pain in New Orleans*

(To **Marcel**) : "*You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to know the obvious. Our secret weapon has escaped. "*
(To **Elijah**) : "*That child, to whom you refer to so affectionately, is the most powerful witch in New Orleans. If she's fled, what's to stop her from destroying us? In fact, destroying all we've worked for? No, if she's not a friend to this family, then she is our enemy. "*
(To **Elijah** and **Rebekah**) : "*For the record, we're moments away from retrieving her. "*
(To **Josh**) : "*Joshua, my most disappointing minion. I suspected you wouldn't answer the call were it from me. "*
(To **Josh**) : "*You're lying. In fact Marcel and I were just chatting about your failed double agent status, and we've surmised that you're likely still in town and in the company of a friend – a young, angry witch. "*
(To **Josh**) : "*Are you really going to leave Davina's fiddler soul mate, Timothy alone with me? Oh, Josh. What would she think of that? I assure you I just wanna talk to her. Tim and I will be at the compound. I really do hope she comes home soon. "*
(To **Elijah**) : "*One might think you've forgotten what it's like to be in the grip of an all-consuming infatuation. She'll come. "*
(To **Tim**) : *"Ha! It's a fair point, Timothy, play something a little more upbeat, please. That's a good lad. Took you long enough to spread the word. "*
(To **Davina**) : *"Well, first, we have to have a little chat about you returning to the fold. "*
(To **Davina**) : *"Actually, that was my idea. Apologies. I've been known to go too far to make a point, But I do always get results. "*
(To **Rebekah**) : "*No. It wouldn't. You see, the poison I compelled Timothy to feed her is quite potent. It's just a matter of time for her. "*
(To **Rebekah**) : "*There is no dealing with those who threaten us. Davina sealed her fate when she stood against me. This was her choice, not mine. "*
(To **Elijah** and **Marcel**) : "*Oh, come on. The stench of your judgment is overwhelming. Need I remind you that Davina just bested the lot of us? I did what had to be done. Don't worry, Elijah. I remain as redeemable as ever. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*So, when you slipped away to allegedly check on your nightwalkers, you were, in fact, colluding with a witch. That's very clever. I suppose I should be proud. "*
(To **Marcel**) : "*Except that now you've involved the witches, who, last time I checked, were enemy to us all, to everything we have, and to our family. "*
-- *The Casket Girls*

(To **Elijah**): "*Who is now tucked in safe and sound down the hall under my protection. Your Celeste was quite beautiful and a portent of evil according to our volatile artist in residence. "*
(To **Elijah**): "*Oh. Are there any more inopportune deaths you'd like to wave in my face? "*
(To **Elijah**): "*Young, old, dead, or alive, witches are a pain in the ass. "*
(To **Marcel**): "*What's with all the racket? Bloody hell. "*
(To **Marcel**): "*This is madness. How can a 16-year-old girl shake the entire French quarter? "*
(To **Marcel**): "*Yes, yes. We've been over this part already. The point is in her present state she's useless as a tool against the witches. "*
(To **Sophie**): *"Charming little habit she's developed. "*
(To **Sophie**): *"Said the desperate witch conveniently. "*
(To **Kieran**): "*It will be by far the worst. But I didn't take over this town to watch it burn to the ground. "*
(To **Kieran**): "*Yes, but you're not gonna like how. "*
(To **Elijah**): "*Well, if this is her sedated, I'd hate to see her otherwise. We all agreed that Davina must be sacrificed. There's no need to let her blow the roof off our heads in the meantime. "*
(To **Marcel**): "*Ok. I'll let you have that one. "*
(To **Rebekah**): "*And you wanted to run off and start a life with this back stabber. "*
(To **Hayley**): "*If you say, "bayou," I will find a nice comfy dungeon and throw you in it. This is not the night to be out there. "*
(To **Kieran**): "*I asked Father Kieran to give them shelter. He suffers from an incessant desire to do good. But now I need you to be useful. Marcel and Davina have disappeared. I assume from the stupefied look on your face they haven't sought refuge in your attic. "*
(To **Kieran**): "*Then energize your resources. I don't need to remind you how important it is they be found. "*
(To **Hayley**): "*They're not your werewolves. They're my clan. From very far back. They've fallen upon hard times, and their plight has brought out the philanthropist in me. What can I say? Must be Elijah's influence. "*
(To **Hayley**): "*The blood that runs in their veins runs in mine. And in our child's. "*
(To **Hayley**): "*Listen, Hayley, word of advice when dealing with Elijah. Don't do as I do. Just apologize. He's accomplished in many things, but he is a master of forgiveness. "*
(To **Elijah**): "*You're a bit of a mad genius, Elijah. Count me in. "*
(To **Elijah** and **Rebekah**): *"Well, this is no family reunion without our mother. I'll fetch her. "*
(To **Marcel**): "*That won't bring her back, you know. "*
(To **Marcel**): "*My condolences the girl is gone. But don't lose perspective. We still have our community. The vampires of this town... "*
(To **Marcel**): "*I'm sorry. You may think I know nothing of your grief, but you are wrong. In the days after I fled this city, I thought you were dead. It was years before I could speak your name, so keenly did I feel that loss. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. "*
(To **Rebekah**): "*This whole thing was doomed from the start, you know? Yes, we saved the city, and I'm not complaining about the witches losing their power, but this did not go down the way I thought it would. You surprised me, though. You were quite resourceful today. "*
(To **Rebekah**): "*Sometimes I think I don't give you your due, little sister. "*
(To **Rebekah**): "*So did I. I was sure Davina would survive. There was so much life in her. "*
-- *Après Moi, Le Déluge*

(To **Elijah**): "*One moment, please, brother. You know how much I enjoy these illicit, little gatherings. "*
(To **Elijah**): "*And, lucky for you, my brother always keeps his word. You two are from the Guerrera crime family, a brutish pack of thieves and killers, and that's nothing compared to what you become on a full moon, is it? "*
(To **Papa Tunde**): "*I'm impressed. You're either quite ambitious or quite mad. "*
(To **Papa Tunde**): "*Well, I suppose we'll need a new mayor. "*
(To **Marcel**): "*Dearest brethren, your attention, please. No doubt, you're all surprised to see Thierry Vanchure, who's supposed to be rotting in the garden for the crime of killing one of our own, and I personally decided to issue him with a pardon. I hope you'll all welcome home Thierry. "*
(To **Marcel**): "*Well, as much as I might like to, I have pressing responsibilities here. (addresses the crowd of vampires) Now, as you all know, the witch Davina is no longer with us. Without Davina, we can no longer monitor the activity of our witch neighbors. However, since their harvest failed, their magic will soon be gone forever. Until then, I say we keep them on their toes. Diego, I wonder if you might lead a rousting in the cauldron. "*
(To **Marcel**): "*Ugh, is this what's it's come to? I bear the full weight of our kingdom while you pout like a child. "*
(To **Marcel**): "*You'd rather sit wallowing in sorrow for your lost little friend. "*
(To **Marcel**): "*I am sorry Davina is gone, ok? I'm sorry, but this mournful attitude is unworthy of you, and it's boring to me. "*
(To **Diego**): "*We're gonna find whoever did this, and I will show them what suffering is. "*
(To **Elijah**): "*Ah! Someone will die for this. "*
(To **Elijah**): "*I had hoped never to see that symbol again. I recall it is the signature of a fool who once stood against us. "*
(To **Diego**): "*When night falls, I want you to gather every vampire in the quarter. Get me the head of whoever did this and put it on a stick. "*
(To **Diego**): "*Marcel has run off like a scared child. You lot are left with me. Now, who of you will fight to defend our home?... Not a single one of you will stand with me, so afraid are you of this new threat? You should know better. I'll handle this myself. "*
(To **Marcel**): "*There he is. Our war hero triumphantly returned. Oh, good to have you back, Marcellus. Welcome home. "*
(To **Elijah**): "*Now that you are here, perhaps you could help settle an argument. You see, you've traded a war abroad for one here in the quarter. Some rogue witch wants a piece of the city we built, and Elijah, for reasons beyond my comprehension, insists that negotiation is our best recourse. "*
(To **Elijah**): "*On the topic of your failed comprehension, you neglect, as a soldier, Marcel has seen not only how small the world has become and how fast news can travel, but also the very horrors of war itself. Surely, Marcel would agree with me. "*
(To **Elijah**): "*Of course. We're not savages, are we? "*
(To **Papa Tunde**): "*Thank you for accepting our invitation, and welcome. I hope you'll allow me to play the role of host. If there's anything you need- Anything at all... "*
(To **Marcel**): "*Oh, you've deigned to break your despair long enough to pick up the phone. "*
(To **Marcel**): "*I'm in the cauldron now. You could meet me here. We could start burning passersby at the stake. "*
(To **Marcel**): "*And where might that be, the bottom of a bottle of scotch? "*
(To **Marcel**): "*Or you could snap out of this funk and come and help me end this. "*
(To **Sophie**): "*Sophie. Just the witch I was looking to brutalize. Perhaps you could explain the attacks on my men. "*
(To **Papa Tunde**): "*I'm sorry, mate. Elijah is the brother you meet when negotiations are to be had. I'm the one you get when negotiations are closed. "*
(To **Papa Tunde**): "*Oh, in fact, I made it a point to learn all about your power. I noticed how you're almost always near those twin sons of yours, how they bear your distinctive Mark. Got me to thinking. "*
(To **Marcel**): "*Let's concentrate on the immediate problem, shall we? Papa Tunde wants revenge. He'll continue to attack us, channeling power from the vampires he sacrifices. "*
-- *Dance Back from the Grave*

(To **Marcel**): "*Then pay attention. We're meant to seem like devoted parishioners. "*
(To **Kieran**): "*Lovely sermon this morning, Father. Quite inspirational. "*
(To **Kieran**): "*Oh, we were hoping for some word from your human sources on the recent Haitian invasion. "*
(To **Kieran**): "*Well, don't look at me. I tried to send her away."*
(To **Elijah**): "*Well, don't look at me. I tried to send her away."*
(To **Elijah**): "*Papa Tunde defeated Rebekah with these, almost got the two of us as well. If he was supposed to be the prize fighter, why leave him for dead in our front yard? "*
**Klaus** : *"First, Papa Tunde returns to settle old scores, now your murdered lover is back. This isn't witches attacking vampires. They're declaring war on us."*
(To **Camille**): *"I can see why you hate me. Truth be told, I have done some dreadful things. But the lies your uncle told were meant to protect you. He is a good man with a loyal heart. And he is your family. As for these witches, their attack on Kieran should be proof enough they are the enemy. In that we are united. "*
(To **Camille**) : *"And yet you chose to reject their offer. "*
(To **Kieran**): "*A vampire is trying to reverse a witch's hex placed on you, and it's the cup you find sacrilegious. "*
(To **Camille**): *"Not remotely. But I can't attempt to use my compulsion to counter Bastianna's curse if the good Father has vervain in his system. Thus, we bleed him out. I never said this would be pleasant. "*
(To **Kieran**) : "*Drink up. It will heal your wound. "*
(To **Kieran**): "*I think you've suffered enough... You will overcome what the witches did to you. You will resist the dark urges of their hex. "*
(To **Camille**): *"Well, I guess that's our answer. "*
(To **Camille**): *"I'm gonna find the witch who did this, and then I'm gonna do what I do best. "*
(To **Marcel** and **Sophie**): *"Or don't. Who needs a locator spell when I have all the leverage I need right here? "*
**Klaus**: *"Witches of the French Quarter! I have with me Monique Deveraux. What a shame it would be were I forced to sent her back to the death she's just escaped! Should you wish to prevent this, bring me the witch Bastianna!"*
(To **Marcel**): "*I'm opening negotiations. "*
(To **Marcel**): "*Spare me the hypocrisy of your moral code. It didn't stop you from killing Monique's mother. Bastianna! I know you're close. The stench of witches hangs in the air. Mark my words! I will end this girl with the very blade you meant for me. "*
(To **Marcel**): "*I decide who lives and dies here, Marcellus. "*
-- *Crescent City*

(To **Elijah**): *"It's been months! I've adhered to our plan sit and do nothing, sell our grief, and now my child is safely away, and another full moon is upon us, another night of pathetic weakness as the moonlight rings steal my strength. The inertia is killing me. I need to act. I... I need... I need to spill blood."*
(To **Marcel**): "*A warrior fights for what they believe in. A warrior fights for his family. "*
(To **Elijah**): "*This was my fault, all of it. If had just accepted Hayley's pregnancy instead of... playing king. I should have listened to you. Instead, my greed and my envy robbed me of my daughter. My actions... led to the release of a weapon that can kill not just me but you. "*
(To **Elijah**): "*You chase my redemption like a man rolling a stone up an endless mountain. "*
(To **Elijah**): "*We lost our child. I mean, what could I possibly say to ease her pain? "*
(To **Hayley**): " *You know, over the years, I've had my share of friends, enemies, lovers, losses, and triumphs. With time, they all begin to run together, but you will find the real moments are vibrant. The rest just fades away. Your pain will fade. "*
(To **Hayley**): "*We defeated my mother and her witches because we stood united. That is how we will face all our enemies... as a family. "*
-- *Rebirth*

(To **Dahlia**): "*I was just looking for a polite way to ask, "What the hell is taking so long?"*"
(To **Marcel**): "*Because all she needed was a drop of her blood. Unfortunately, I have no idea where the vile harpy has fled to.*"
(To **Camille**): *"I had to make it seem as if I cared for nothing, for no one. But, you should know that when I hurt you...Our battle is not yet won, and I need you to protect the most important thing in my life. I need you to do it here, where magic is void.And, I'm sorry. I will find a way to make it up to you.*"
(To **Esther**): "*Ah, Mother. I've arrived just in time for another one of your deaths, and as much as I appreciate the front-row seat, I'm afraid I'm going to have to postpone the festivities.*"
(To **Elijah**): "*Why not? My plan's worked perfectly. Easy, Elijah-- I can see your red door swinging wide open, but our job's not yet done.*"
(To **Esther**): "*To be clear, I do want her blood, but I want it on this blade -- which I've had bound with the soil from Dahlia's homeland, not to mention Viking ash. Mother's demise will have to wait. You see, I need her to weaken Dahlia's defenses. Bit of psychological warfare before I slaughter the both of you.*"
(To **Dahlia**): "*One stake, three of us. Even if you don't hesitate, the other two will rip you in half.*"
**Klaus**: "*Seems we're officially orphans.Seems we're officially orphans.*"
(To **Rebekah**): "*Raise my daughter... with the help of my sisters. One big, happy family.*"
(To **Camille**): *"You know, I prefer to see it the other way. If it wasn't that night, this bar, that $100 bill, it would've been Jackson Square, staring at a painting, or Frenchmen Street, listening to jazz. I would have found you. Thank you... for the drink.*"
(To **Hope**): "*Once upon a time, there was a wolf king who fought a war for the most precious treasure in all the kingdom... his beautiful little princess. But, victory came at a price. Allies lost... New enemies made...And so, the wolf king stood alone. Happily ever after, it was not. But, sometimes, even the worst endings are not really endings at all. And, you should know, my littlest wolf, that even when all seems burnt to ash-- in our story, there is always another chapter to be told.*"
-- *Ashes to Ashes*

**Klaus**: *"In the beginning, we were so naive. Our mother had made us into beasts who fed on blood. But, immortality was beyond our grasp, compulsion a trick we had yet to learn. All we knew was a fear of being hunted... That, and a terrible hunger. So we ran, as a family. And when we needed to, as a family, we fed."*
**Klaus**: *"Always and forever, indeed."*
(To **Camille**): *"Well, I'd hoped we'd have one of our little chats, and I thought you might appreciate the change of venue. So, I'm allowing you a private tour... of my exhibition.*"
(To **Lucien**): "*And I wouldn't expect an uncultured savage to crash such a formal affair.*"
(To **Count** in flashback) : "*Your Grace, I look forward to hearing tales of your hunting escapades! May I present our sister?*"
(To **Lucien** about **Aurora**): "*She is exquisite.*"
(To **Camille**): *"We can discuss my discourteous friend Lucien at our next little chat. For now, let's preserve your precious boundaries, shall we?*"
(To **Camille**) *"Yes, well, vampire business is now Marcel's purview. Or Elijah's, when he's not busy loathing me. By all means, check with them.*"
(To **Lucien**): *"Oh, well, I can assure you that all those who stood against me ended up either desiccated, dust, or dinner."*
(To **Alexis**) : "*You think you can fool me with bad poetry and parlor tricks?*"
(To **Lucien**): *"I AM KLAUS MIKAELSON! I don't need anyone, nor will I be warned by lesser men! I am the thing lesser men fear!"*
(To **Camille**): *"I didn't come here to quarrel, I came here to offer a gift.*"
(To **Camille**) *"Well, you already invited me in once, love, so technically--*"
(To **Camille**): *"Keep the gift. I painted it for you.*"
-- *For the Next Millennium*

(To **Freya**): "*I just hadn't realized you were back from wherever it is you go to when you leave! Perhaps I was thrown off by the lack of strange gentleman callers perusing the contents of my refrigerator this morning!"*
(To **Elijah**, **Hayley** and **Freya**): "*Oh, good! It's my not-so-loving older brother and my former one-night-stand! What a nice, normal family gathering!"*
(To **Lucien**): "*With Alexis as your crowning achievement, no doubt."*
(To **Lucien**) : "*Speaking of which... Perhaps we should go pay your seer another visit? See if anything has snapped into focus in regards to that mysterious threat against us."*
(To **Freya**) : "*Really, Freya? Is that the way you greet the brother you've spent your entire life trying to find?"*
(To **Freya**) : "*Freya, please. I am asking as your brother for your help."*
(To **Tristan**) : "*Tristan? Tristan! Come out, come out, wherever you are! Unless, of course, you're afraid!"*
(To **Tristan**) : "*Or maybe you should move along before I make you cry in front of all your little friends! Hahaha!"*
(To people of the party) : "*You know, I used to find it insulting that I was barred from your special little club. But now, I realize that I lack the flexibility to become a member-- I could never get my head far enough up my own ass."*
(To people of the party) : "*Come on. Let's go. This party's dead anyway."*
-- *A Walk on the Wild Side*

**Klaus'** letter to **Aurora**: "*I never meant for you to know me. I never meant to let you in. But then, I should not have kissed you. Not the first time. Certainly not the second. There is a light in you so bright it makes me feel like the man I wish I was... and forget the thing I am. I am chained to certain hungers, and have damned another to my fate... You've seen what we do-- we hunt. We feed. We kill. But what I am, I can't answer. My family are the first-- there is no name for it. But I also desire. Deeply. And I can love... As I love you."*
(To **Elijah**): "*If you mean to confess a thousand-year-old secret that will divide us after our hard-won reconciliation, then te absolvo, brother-- there is nothing you could have done involving her that would be worse than what she did to me."*
(To **Aurora** in Flashback): "*You are perfect just the way you are. Take, for example, these lovely long locks, hmm? Now, how did you manage to capture the scent of a summer's day in the tresses of your hair?"*
(To **Aurora**): "*If yesterday were the apocalypse."*
(To **Aurora**): "*Let me guess-- in the time between being with me and seeking refuge in the arms of your brother, you slept with mine?"*
(To **Aurora** in Flashback): "*You believe that you are cursed, but you are not alone. There is a thing that I have done that I never told anybody. It will break Rebekah's heart. Kol would rage, Finn would disown me, and Elijah... would never forgive me.....I killed my mother....Not in childbirth, but in a fit of rage. Twice she birthed me-- once as a bastard, and then once as this thing I am now. She crippled me from becoming who I was meant to be, and then she turned her back on me in shame... And so, I killed her, and I blamed it on my father, and we've been running ever since. Until now. Until you. So, you see, however broken you think you are, you are not as broken as me."*
(To **Aurora**): "*You've had a thousand birthdays since. If I forgot to send a card, it's because I forgot about you. Is that why you're here? To remind me?"*
(To **Aurora**): "*We could've been the greatest love story ever told! Perhaps you've forgotten why we're not."*
(To **Aurora**): "*You are breaking my heart... And you swore you would never speak of this."*
(To **Aurora**): "*You know, you should count yourself lucky. In a thousand years, no one has talked to me that way and lived."*
(To **Aurora**): "*You've had a thousand years to tell me of Elijah's betrayal. Why now?"*
(To **Elijah**): "*You speak to me of enemies when the greatest traitor of my life stands before me."*
-- *The Axeman's Letter*

(To **Freya**): "*We had a little chat about the past."*
(To **Freya**): "*Couldn't agree more. You see, gentlemen know when to call a truce and turn our fury in a more pertinent direction."*
(To **Aurora**): "*Will you be taking candy from a toddler next?"*
(To **Aurora**): "*I'd love to know whose side you're on. But it would be rude of me to ask such blunt discourse from so beautiful a woman without first buying her lunch. Wouldn't you agree?"*
(To **Aurora**): "*So, you choose to ally with the brother who locked you in a prison and the stable boy who, until now, was always so far beneath you?"*
(To **Aurora**): "*My desire for answers is only fair-- we are on the brink of war. But, if you doubt the veracity of my feelings for you... Then our tour has one final stop."*
(To **Aurora**): "*If you want to know what's been in my heart for the past few centuries, come with me. Life is like a city-- built in layers. No matter what new experiences come along, the foundation remains."*
(To **Aurora**): "*Two hundred years ago, it was my art studio. It became a tomb for my memory of you. I thought if I painted what haunted me, I could free myself of you forever. In all my years, I have never been more wrong about anything."*
-- *Beautiful Mistake*

(To **Elijah**): "*You shout loud enough to wake the dead."*
(To **Elijah**): "***They're** not really my type."*
(To **Aurora**): "*You look ravishing."*
(To **Aurora**): "*Nonsense, love! My brother merely wishes to make certain we're all on the same page. So, who would like to begin?"*
(To **Aurora**): "*You're bluffing. Tell me you're bluffing!"*
(To **Lucien**): "*Shut up, Lucien, or I'll tear your tongue from your head."*
(To **Elijah**) : "*Well, it's half a dozen of one and six of the other, isn't it? Why don't you take the stable boy? Tristan and I are long overdue for a good catch-up."*
(To **Lucien**): "*Oh, if anything happens to Camille..."*
(To **Tristan**): "*I think she might be more amenable if she's forced to watch as I tear you limb from limb."*
(To **Elijah**): "*Elijah! These are our guests."*
(To **Elijah**): "*You know, I doubted my brother's wisdom in bringing us all together today, but he was right. We must confront the harsh realities we all face and make difficult choices to ensure our collective survival. And I have every confidence that my choice... will be the right one. Were you anyone else, the servants would already be mopping your blood from the floor. If you do not bring my sister home, Tristan will die, and in tremendous pain."*
(To **Aurora**): "*Now I have your brother-- a sibling for a sibling. I want Rebekah back."*
(To **Lucien**): "*Lucien, you will take me to Camille, and you will surrender the medallion, or you will meet an end so cruel, the devil will weep."*
(To **Camille**): *"Cami? Camille?"*
(To **Camille**): *"I need... I need to know you're safe. Call me back, please."*
(To **Elijah**): "*My affections are not the point. What matters now is that we have this maddening prophecy under control."*
-- *Out of the Easy*

(To **Lucien**): "*I afford courtesy to those who are in my good graces! You've fallen short."*
(To **Lucien**): "*Aurora is upset because I have her beloved brother. She took Camille as leverage. Well, it'll be the last mistake she ever makes."*
(To **Lucien**): "*Perhaps I should murder my friends, starting with you."*
(To **Lucien**): "*I trust her, which is more than can be said for you. Now, if you're gonna help me, then help me. Otherwise, bugger off."*
(To **Aurora**): "*I remember full well the extent of your jealousies. But what surprises me is that they extend to the, uh... The lowly therapist. Aurora, you can't believe she means anything to me."*
(To **Aurora**): "*Honestly, Aurora... These petty displays are so far beneath you. Wild scavenger hunts, threats against innocent acquaintances... They cast you in a very unflattering light. Jealousy's more my game."*
(To **Aurora**): "*I tire of this fantasy. You were someone I left behind long ago. There is nothing between us now."*
(To **Aurora**): "*You presume to know me? Then know this-- I will gladly end you for what you did to Camille. But first, I'm gonna make you suffer in ways your spoiled little mind cannot possibly imagine. And when it's over---When your sweet recollections have been rendered obsolete, you will associate my name with fear and pain, and perhaps the dull realization that you---Are nothing to me."*
(To **Aurora**): "*And took the only thing I needed from you. So... What's to stop me from killing you now?"*
(To **Camille**) : "*Well, for tonight, I'd like you to stay here... where I can protect you. Camille, I want you to know... what happened today..."*
(To **Camille**): "*Your incident at the university... the man you assaulted? I've already compelled some people to go and kill him."*
(To **Camille**): "*...It doesn't have to be."*
(To **Camille**): "*Whatever you want."*
-- *The Other Girl in New Orleans*

(To **Camille**): *"I assume you called first. I've been told turning up at someone's home uninvited could be considered rude."*
(To **Camille**): *"I'm here as your friend."*
(To **Will**): "*While I can't take away the feelings of worthlessness that haunt you now, I can tell you you will learn to live with them. I certainly have. I have also come to find that the very thing you believe is worth the least matters most of all. There is beauty in the courage of the fragile fighter-- those who persevere despite all they've been through. Those who still believe there is good in the world. Us dark things often find we need the light the most. What you do not see in yourself, others see in you. You do matter."*
(To **Will**): "*Go to her. Enjoy Christmas. In the new year, you will return to your captain, and he will welcome you with open arms. And Detective? You will remember today as your darkest day. Tomorrow will be better, the day after better still. You will go on."*
(To **Camille**): "*If I'm going to save my sisters, I can't be worried about you. Right now, the safest place for you is with me. Please."*
(To **Camille**): "*We write our wishes and then burn them for luck. Strangely, I don't recall wishing for an influx of enemies, and yet year after year..."*
(To **Rebekah**): "*Right now, what concerns me is our enemies. They have the weapon they intend to use against us. They cannot know that we found you, Rebekah. Our best advantage is if they believe you are lost at sea."*
(To **Rebekah**): "*Run far and fast, stay on the move, and-- should you happen to meet some handsome fool-- know your weaknesses."*
(To **Camille**): "*You look..."*
(To **Camille**): "*I was going to say 'contemplative'."*
(To **Camille**): "*A penny for your thoughts?"*
(To **Camille**): "*Don't. Please. When I think of all the ways she could have hurt you..."*
(To **Camille**): "*Because you wished it. Because what's important to you is important to me. What makes you happy makes me want to keep you so. What scares you I want to tear apart. I do not wish to watch you from behind glass, Camille."*
