Main Characters
-
Damon Salvatore
Damon Salvatore is a deadly (but sexy!) piece of work. A blood-sucking playboy, he’s the rebel to his brother Stefan’s saint. Witty, charming, and oh-so-fine, the elder Salvatore brother is a regular people person. Erm, except for the fact he’s got this nasty habit of feeding on them...
Damon loved his vamp maker Katherine with a fierce devotion and he has spent the last century trying to find... -
Stefan Salvatore
Stefan Salvatore is the repentant 100-and-something-year-old vampire with a heart of gold. You’d totally want to hang with this vamp. He’s the nice, quiet guy with lots of interesting stories to tell — who also happens to be drop dead gorgeous.
Stefan’s usual diet consists only of animal blood. (How very Twilight of him.) Most of the time, Stefan can’t help but do the right thing — a choirboy... -
Katherine Pierce
Katherine Pierce is the bitch that started it all. Yeah, that’s right. That whole blood brother feud between the Salvatores? Her fault. The vamp Noah who stalked and intended to kill Elena? All Katherine. Isobel’s treatment of her own birth daughter? Good ol’ Kat was behind that, too.
Elena Gilbert’s vampire doppelganger is the catalyst that sparked the creation of the world that is Vampire... -
Bonnie Bennett
Bonnie Bennett isElena’s no-nonsense best friend. While she fills the role of counselor and confidant, Bonnie’s also the brassy-but-cautious witch who discovers her powers just in time to help out her girl Elena.
Salvatore brothers in trouble again? Don’t worry, Bonnie’s got that. Heck, her family has had it for centuries. (Bonnie’s grandmother was a witch and her great-great whatever was... -
Caroline Forbes
Though she started off insecure and in desperate search of a boyfriend, Caroline Forbes mellowed as a result of her relationship with Elena’s ex Matt Donovan. She spent the first half of Season 1 being Damon’s scarf-wearing sippy-cup, then began Season 2 as a vampire.
Managing to keep a tight rein on her blood cravings, Caroline proved to be a model vampire, only slipping up (i.e., killing... -
Matt Donovan
Matt Donovan is a down-on-his-luck townie (without health insurance!). Hardworking and noble, he’s quick to back up his friends — the very same buds who sometimes forget that he has to fend for himself for months on end. This kid is dirt-poor with a loser mother and dead sister, who he originally thought had just run away. He’s the paper chaser of the Donovan household and was once the object...
-
Tyler Lockwood
Tyler Lockwood is the jock prince of Mystic Falls. The mayor’s son, he (like the Gilberts) is a member of one of the town’s founding families. Cocky and quick-tempered T spent much of the first season making us wonder if he was on the juice. Why else would he treat Vicki Donovan and Jeremy that way? But actually, he’s not wired. He’s just got other weird and mysterious issues — like the kind...
-
Jeremy Gilbert
For a while there, Jeremy Gilbert was a moody mess. After his parents’ death, he fell off the delinquent end and became one of Mystic Falls’ druggie outcasts. He’s since reformed his ways, but he still has a whole lot of drama.
For example, he’s terribly unlucky in love. Both of his Season 1 girlfriends were killed. Stefan staked the little Gilbert’s first love, town bad girl Vicki Donovan,... -
Klaus
What’s scarier than a bloodthirsty vampire bent on destruction? How about one of the oldest, most powerful, virtually indestructible vampire determined to go on a 10-year murder spree? Meet Klaus. He’s the latter. He’s got all the strengths of a vampire and none of the weaknesses. What sort of lottery did he win? Well, Klaus is more than just a vampire: His father was also a werewolf, which...
