## History

### 2019

*Dear Olympia,*
*I wish I knew how this letter will find you. A child laughing and playing in wonder, a teenager with a mouthful of opinions to give me, or a grown woman as a strong and beautiful as your mother. I write to tell you that from the moment I learned of you, I wanted nothing more than to have earned the honor of being the father to such a beautiful child. You're a joy I thought had been stolen from me forever when I became what I am now. I fear that my presence in your life, with this evil in my ear, is only going to put you in danger.*
*So until such a time as it can be removed, I am sorry to have to leave you. I can't wait to remember you when the time comes that it's safe for me to have my memories of you back. And I beg you, be good to your mother. My only comfort is that that woman I love and the child I adore will be safe from this evil together and that she will protect you.*
*With Love, Always and Forever,*
*Your Dad, Elijah*
— **Elijah'**s letter to **Olympia** before having his memories of family compelled away
Elijah was first informed of his daughter's existence by his wife, Dianna, when she breaks the chambre de chasse to inform him of her pregnancy. After Dianna is able to wake Elijah from his five year slumber, she tells him that she decided to have the baby and go through with the pregnancy, so their daughter is now four-years-old. Elijah tells Dianna that he is not sure how he feels about being a father but does make a promise to her, that their daughter would always be under his protection and have her father's love; regardless of if he may fail as a father or not, he will never stop trying to do right by her.

Elijah later hears the voice of his four-year-old daughter over facetime on Dianna's phone, but decides not to show himself to her; believing that he'll die trying to free his half-brother, Niklaus, from Marcel the next day. So it would be kinder for Olympia to believe that he never woke up from his slumber. Elijah ends up looking through picture of his daughter on Dianna's phone, telling her that their daughter is perfect, strong, innocent, and that she has her mother's eyes. Elijah then makes Dianna promise that no matter what happens with Marcel the next day, that she would get out of New Orleans and go back to their daughter.

Elijah meets his daughter for the first time in person when he and his family arrive at Hayley and Dianna's safe house, where Mary Dumas was currently watchng over Olympia, and saw her lying asleep on the livingroom couch. Elijah smiled as he watched over his daughter in that moment. On May 27, 2019, when Olympia woke up, she was introduced to her father for the first time. She mentions to him that her mother has told her about him, and she then leads Elijah to the piano they have in the safe house. Olympia then attempts in her youthful, childish ways to play the piano for him. He smiles at Olympia's enthusiam and begins to teach his daughter how to play short and simple tunes on the piano. Elijah later takes Olympia out to show her how to gather wood for a bonfire, during that time time she asks him about his childhood was life, but he tells her that she is too young to hear about that right now.

Later that same night, when Dianna arrives for an impromptu date with Elijah, he at first asks her about their daughter. Dianna tells him that Olympia fell asleep while her mouth was hanging open, this makes him smile and he points out that Dianna does the same thing.

Later on, when Elijah is laying on the ground, dying at the hands of the Hollow; he still threatens her when she goes as far as to threaten Olympia, stating that Inadu will never get close to her. When Dianna needs help after Elijah's death and while inside Elijah's shattered mind, it is Olympia that calls out to her parents and saves them both.

Olympia is later seen hugging her father around his neck, as she falls asleep againt him after his resurrection. When the ritual that seperated the Hollow between her father, her aunt, and her uncles is completed, Olympia is taken to a hotel by her parents. Elijah fears for Olympia's saftey as the piece of the Hollow in him wants the entire Labonair bloodline dead. So he leaves two notes, one for his wife and one for his daughter, before kissing their foreheads and leaving them at the hotel. Elijah later had his entire family, including his wife and their daughter, compelled from his memory so he would stay away from them, that way they and Hope would be safe from the Hollow.
