Elijah first appeared in the Season Two episode Rose. He is a vampire and one of the Originals, a group comprised of the oldest and most powerful vampires.He's noble and a gentleman. He's always been loyal to his younger brother Klaus, and his baby sister Rebekah. He believes in family above everything else. He's a master in forgiveness. He's about a thousand years old. He believes he only truly loved twice, one of them was a witch named Celeste, and the other I think he meant Katherine or Haley.As you'll see in The Originals, which is TVD spin off based on the original family of vampires, at least the surviving members, aka Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah. Elijah is very protective of his family, and he will destroy anyone who threatens them.He is a man of his word, when he makes a promise, he will always keeps it.Klaus is Elijah's half-brother, from an affair their mother had with a werewolf. But neither Elijah nor Rebekah ever thought of that, they loved him and stood by him. An allegiance for a thousand years, that withstood the tests of time, jealousy, and family troubles. And now it's tested again, when Elijah has fallen for haley, who is carrying Klaus's child. But he'd never do anything about it, he always puts his family's needs and desires above his own, trying to act like a big brother.Most details regarding of Elijah's past are unknown, he was once human. He was turned sometime before the 15th century as he was far stronger than either Rose or Trevor, vampires turned in the mid 15th Century. At one point he was a confidant of the leader and most powerful of the Originals, Klaus, a vampire he now seeks to kill but in the 15th century serving to deliver the Petrova doppleganger.Rose and Trevor called him in the hope that he would pardon them because they were tired of constantly running from the Originals. They held Elena in the hope of using her as a bargaining chip. Initially skeptical of them having a Petrova doppleganger, he was surprised that Elena existed and was human. He forgave Rose because she helped Trevor out of loyalty to him, but he executed Trevor by decapitation. As they were leaving the house that Rose and Trevor were hiding out in, the Salvatore brothers came to rescue Elena. They shot him with a wooden stake in the hand. Then Elena came out and threw a vervain grenade, burning him in the face; however, he soon healed. Damon then staked him; however, some time later, he came to life and pulled out the stake.When Rose and Damon went to see a vampire named Slater looking for information about the curse, Elijah, from outside, threw some coins at the web-Caf Show less «
