Niklaus Mikaelson




Niklaus Mikaelson (a.k.a. Nik or Klaus) is an Original/Hybrid, and the son of an unnamed werewolf and Esther. He has six siblings: a deceased unnamed older brother, four other half-brothers named Elijah, Finn, Kol, and Henrik, and a younger half-sister named Rebekah. Klaus is also the step-son of Mikael, with whom he had a strained relationship.        

He was first mentioned in a conversation between Rose and Stefan warning him about the Originals, Klaus is believed to be the most hated and feared of all the Originals and those who fear him are desperate for his approval. Over the centuries Klaus has become a recluse who confides in and trusts only the few members of 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 help find the moonstone and the Petrova Doppelgänger that was needed to break the actual curse. His goal was to bring out his werewolf side so he could sire his own super race of vampire-werewolf hybrids.

In 1492 he finally got his chance to break his curse when he met Katerina Petrova, the final piece for the ritual. He kept her entertained until the full moon, but was unaware that she had found out what he was and what he wanted from her, the knowledge of which precipitated her escape. After Katerina turned into a vampire, he assumed that her family line ended with her and that his chance to break his curse was gone forever. He traveled to Bulgaria and slaughtered her entire family in revenge.

For the next 500 years, Klaus searched for a way to break the curse without the doppelgänger, forcing generations of witches and warlocks to help him for centuries. Along his search for a way to break his curse, Klaus hunted down his family and neutralized them. He also hunted Katerina Petrova, who had escaped him and stolen his moonstone.

He is the main antagonist of Season 2 making his first appearance in Know Thy Enemy, in Alaric's body.

Niklaus is a member of the Mikaelson Family.
