After chastising Davina for being unable to defend herself without her magic, she requested that he train her to be strong physically. Mikael did so, knocking her down and hurting her ankle but forcing her to get back on her feet, even though it would be a struggle. Once she did, he nodded and thought that perhaps she had learned something. When his son Kol, now in the body of a witch, was invited to the cabin by Davina and secretly searched the room with the white oak stake inside and found it, Mikael stopped him and confronted him.
He threatened to kill him, not knowing it was his youngest son, but Kol told him he was a witch and would undo Davina's bracelet's spell, freeing Mikael, if he didn't harm him. When Klaus arrived at the cabin, having tracked them down, Mikael stood ready with the white oak stake. Klaus threw Mikael's staff through the cabin window, knocking Davina out. Mikael went to her and Kol where he ordered Kol to release him as promised. Kol performed a spell to take Mikael off his leash and it worked.
Mikael went outside, to confront his son. He viciously attacked Klaus with the white oak stake, overpowering him and nearly managing to kill him. However, Klaus unveiled Papa Tunde's blade and stabbed Mikael.
The blade burrowed into Mikael's body, incapacitating him and causing him an extreme amount of pain. Klaus then put Mikael in a trunk, sparing him so he'd suffer, but Mikael managed to pull the blade from his own chest, the only Original who was strong enough and had enough willpower to do so. In Red Door , Mikael abducted Camille, who Klaus had given the white oak stake, to use her as leverage. He explained that once he fed, he'd be back to full strength.
They stumbled upon a Halloween party of unsuspecting civilians. Mikael compelled the attendance to give Klaus a message. Mikael brought Cami to an abandoned building where he explained that he didn't always hate Klaus. It was only after Klaus accidentally got Henrik killed, killed Esther, and turned his siblings against him, that Mikael hated Klaus, seeing his acts as betrayal.
He then told her that instead of her counseling, he needed food. Despite having told her he wouldn't feed on her, he contemplated changing his mind since his wound from Papa Tunde's blade wasn't healing.
Mikael fed briefly on Cami, leaving her alive but rejuvenating some of his strength though still weakened by Tunde's blade and the lingering venom. Klaus arrived and the two fought once again. Klaus managed to hold his own in the duel but Mikael once again overpowered him, stabbing him with the white oak stake. Klaus was briefly neutralized but didn't burst into flames like Originals are supposed to do when stabbed with white oak.
Mikael was furious and confused by the turn of events, realizing someone was interfering with the stake's power. He found Davina and Kol performing a spell and attacked them to restore power to the weapon. He threw aside Kol and bit Davina before going back to Klaus's body to find Cami with the stake, threatening him.
Marcel and Hayley arrived, using their combined strength to hold off Mikael. Klaus awoke and told Mikael that he was outnumbered. Mikael just laughed at Klaus, telling him to find him when he was prepared to fight his own battles. Mikael then fled, his destination unknown. In The Map of Moments , Mikael had learned of Esther's resurrection of Ansel , hunting down werewolves in the woods to try and find Ansel's location.
As he butchered a few wolves, he was met by Esther, who told him that he could stop trying to hunt down Ansel since Klaus had already killed him, noting that he may not be his blood, but Klaus had inherited Mikael's violent nature. Mikael, still furious with Esther for her betrayal, was enraged until she convinced him to help her by offering up Klaus, no longer believing he'd ever accept her offer to be put into a new body.
Mikael agreed to her deal, and soon after helped their son Finn escape from his imprisonment in Klaus's compound. Mikael stated that together, they would be successful in their crusade and Finn responded by telling him that he could really use a man of his strength.
However, Finn forced Mikael to be his sacrifice in a spell so he could channel his power. The spell neutralized Mikael while his power was being channeled into Finn's own. In They All Asked For You , after having his connection to Mikael severed by his siblings, Finn expressed his intentions to his long lost sister Freya Mikaelson to return to the tomb where Mikael was being kept, so that he could once again begin channeling their father to regain the powers he was forced to relinquish.
Freya took the opportunity to request that Finn allow her to take a few minutes with their father, and Finn tried to sway her against this, telling her that their father was no longer the man she remembered from when she was five years old.
Despite this, he eventually relented and took Freya to Mikael, leaving them alone. Freya proceeded to revive her father with a spell and a drop of her blood.
Mikael awakened and demanded to know who she was. When Freya tried to reveal that she was the daughter he lost so long ago, Mikael angrily attacked her, calling her a liar. However, Freya recounted memories from her childhood that only the two of them shared.
Mikael was overwhelmed with emotion, slowly beginning to believe her. She revealed to him that she hadn't died but instead had been abducted by his sister in law, Dahlia. Near tears, he embraced his daughter and the two happily reunited.
Later, Mikael was shown to be working with his daughter as werewolves came to the cemetery. Mikael killed one, still famished from his sleep, but Freya called him off before he could kill Aiden , sparing his life. Freya then tasked her father with procuring items needed to defeat Dahlia. In Night Has A Thousand Eyes , Mikael returned to New Orleans with the items to make a weapon against Dahlia; ash of the vikings who oppressed her, soil from her homeland, and the blood of who she loved the most: Freya.
Klaus confronted Mikael and proposed the two fight Dahlia together. Both traded insults but decided to align together. With Davina's help, they bonded the ingredients to a knife, creating a weapon that can kill Dahlia. They chose to attack Dahlia head on with the weapon, being lead to the church knowing full well that it was a trap. When they confronted her, she unleashed mind-controlled acolytes of hers on them. Though they were a challenge, Mikael and Klaus slaughtered all of them until Dahlia stepped in herself, and used her magic to almost instantly desiccate the two Originals.
Dahlia tortured them both for specific acts, especially Mikael for taking her sister from her. Freya, Elijah, and Rebekah arrived and when Dahlia started to hurt Freya, Mikael violently fought off his desiccation and stabbed Dahlia with a large piece of a wooden church pew. However, it didn't kill her and Dahlia destroyed the weapon they had created and escaped. Mikael has a reunion with his children at Klaus' home.
Mikael was not surprised by the betrayal. Klaus questioned why Mikael fought for Freya who he barely knows anymore, and why he hated him even before he became a disappointment for Mikael. Mikael said solemnly that he did not know, and just did. Klaus offered him final words and Mikael took the chance to apologize to Freya and looked past Klaus, telling Freya that he loved her.
Klaus then staked Mikael for a second and final time, executing his step-father without a fight. Mikael tried to reach for his step-son in his final moments, a small gesture of his one time affection. Mikael's corpse burned to ash, providing the Mikaelsons with more Viking ash to use against Dahlia.
Prior to Freya's death, Mikael was described as a kind and loving husband as well as a good father, this is in spite of how his own father treated him, however, once Freya died Mikael became hostile, distant and cold due to the immense grief he felt due to the loss of his favorite child. Klaus' birth renewed Mikael's hope in his family but he was never the same man as he once was as his later personality can be described calculating, meticulous, aggressive, bad tempered and prideful - which Hayley described as "being a dick".
As a human, Mikael is characterized by his pride, valor, and devotion to the family. However, he also used fear to control people, particularly his children as he wanted to make them stronger, possibly to prevent any more deaths of his children, his actions however, led to them being alienated from him. Mikael has a deep hatred of Klaus, caused by the latter killing Henrik, then later murdering Mikael's wife and turning his family against him, disregarding the fact that Henrik's death was an accident, that he was indirectly responsible for Esther's death when he convinced her to suppress Klaus' werewolf nature, and that his children were already against him for constantly physically abusing Klaus until, he was an adult; as well as the fact that he physically abuse his biological children if any of them tried to stop him from physically abusing Klaus , however, Mikael didn't always hate Klaus, as when he was born he was overjoyed and loved him, he even named him, however, as Klaus grew up, he acted differently to his siblings and Mikael began to see him as weak and thus he acted negative towards him, Mikael tends to degrade his worth and often referred to Klaus as "boy" rather than his given name.
Mikael physically assaulted Klaus even as a child for no apparent reason, and try to justified it by saying that he was trying to make him stronger, though going by what era they lived in and Mikael's viewpoint, it is entirely possible that Mikael was genuinely trying to make Klaus stronger as Mikael explained about fathers having to make their children stronger, Mikael was forced to learn how to use a staff despite being only eight years old and if he showed any strain, his father would have beaten him.
Klaus was not like his other half-siblings, he was more focused on art and making sculptures than learning to fight and survive in their deadly environment, something Mikael saw as a weakness, however, Klaus was anything but weak. Despite his anger and attitude towards Klaus, he still cared about him enough to save his life by turning him along with his half-siblings into vampires, proving he did care for Klaus before realizing Klaus was not his biological son.
His mistreatment of Klaus, is what ultimately turned his step-son against him, as well as the fact that it caused Klaus to despise Mikael, especially when the two would discover they are not father and son. After being turned into a vampire, the valor becomes anger, and pride in obsession. Mikael didn't initially want to kill Klaus, as even after discovering him to be an "abomination" and a child fathered by someone else, he did not kill him, but had his wife curse Klaus to make his werewolf side dormant, making him just like the rest of his siblings, an Original Vampire.
Possibly indicating that he still considered Klaus to be a part of the family, at least for his children and wife's sake, however, once Klaus murdered Esther and blamed Mikael for it, only then did he pursue his step-son with the intent to kill him. For a thousand years, Mikael tried to destroy Klaus, but during this time, still loved his biological family, telling Rebekah that she and the others were never who he was after.
Mikael is willing to kill and harm others, though, in his hunt for Klaus, threatening to and possibly nearly going through with tearing out Damon's heart when Stefan wouldn't tell him where Klaus was. However, Mikael later says this was simply just to "rile" Stefan up so that he could push past Klaus' compulsion, something Mikael says was a loophole.
Mikael seems to genuinely regret the consequences of having brought the Vampire race into existence, which is what motivated him into feeding exclusively upon other Vampires instead. This implies that in spite of everything he is and everything he became, Mikael still retained a sense of virtue about him, however he is more than willing to kill humans for his own agendas and to torment Klaus. However, Mikael has shown multiple cruel and sadistic traits far worse then Klaus , mostly when it comes to the target of his hatred, Klaus.
He wasn't content to kill Klaus until he has humiliated and psychologically tortured him, and then promised to undo everyone's memory of him, turning Klaus into nothing more than a ghost, utterly alone. According to Klaus, Mikael is a psychopath, as his reasons for tormenting his step-son for the last years was out of madness; instead of killing Klaus, as he had several opportunities to do it. Mikael is a hypocrite, he blames Klaus for turning his children against him, when his actions contributed to that, this has also been said by his daughter Rebekah, who told him that he was the one who destroyed his family when he turned them into vampires, as Klaus, had nothing to do with it.
Mikael's actions cause a rift in the family, thus turned against him completely, however, even after his children found out that it was Klaus who killed their mother, they are still antagonistic towards their father, though Rebekah was willing to allow Klaus to be killed after finding out the truth but did blame their father for making them violent, saying that Klaus wasn't born a killer.
Even Elijah and Kol still harbor negative feelings towards their father. Like Klaus and even Elijah, Mikael seems to be in a grey area morally, as in his pursuit of Klaus, he has killed numerous vampires and humans alike, especially if they get in his way, however, Mikael does have some morals, being regretful for his part in creating vampires and the bloodlust and so feeds only on vampires to avoid killing innocents needlessly.
He also respects those who can stand up to him, acknowledging people such as Davina and Camille when they show feats of strength or courage. Mikael while cold and aggressive is not devoid of emotions or positive traits but tends to conceal them or hides behind anger, once he is reunited with Freya, his favorite daughter whom he thought was dead, he was reduced to tears and embraces her.
Mikael's personality has somewhat changed after his resurrection, being far less patient than before and overall had a more aggressive demeanor when interacting with others. Whereas before his death, Mikael was fairly patient, calculating and amiable to vampires such as Damon.
He also absolutely refused to feed on human blood, even to free himself from desiccation. However, after his resurrection, Mikael was more willing to feed on humans with only mild reluctance when Davina fed him her blood. Mikael later fed on party goers and Camille in a desperate attempt to heal himself which proved fruitless.
Mikael also didn't seem to have a problem feeding on werewolf blood, only telling Aiden that he preferred vampire blood. His decrease in morals may have been due to his increased desperation to kill Klaus, as the moment he was resurrected, he instantly sought out Klaus in an attempt to end his life.
Mikael also went after his stepson while weakened with werewolf venom, and later Papa Tunde's blade, rather than wait until he was fully recovered. It seems that even death didn't stop Mikael from tormenting and wanting to kill Klaus.
As he had been conspiring his resurrection with a young Witch and had promised the young witch if she did resurrect him, he would help her save her friend and get rid of Klaus for good. After being resurrected, he attempted to kill Klaus, though doing so would have killed Marcel and Josh, something Davina wanted to avoid.
Mikael was a tall and middle-aged man with short dark blond hair, blue eyes and muscular build. Like the other Originals, Mikael used to dress in an aristocratic manner, most reflecting his son, Elijah's attire. He wore dark suits over dress shirts. Mikael was a strong and skilled Viking warrior before his transition to becoming the first vampire in the world.
Mikael's skills were impressive enough that he had seemed to have single handedly slaughtered other raiders who had come to pillage and raid the village that he and his family lived in. Mikael was the first and oldest Vampire in existence and being an Original Vampire , possessed all the standard powers and abilities of one, but to a much greater extent compared to his children, likely due to being stronger as a human before he was turned.
Coupled with his greater combat skills and discipline as a Viking warrior, he is arguably the most powerful Original vampire ever to appear. As an Original Vampire, Mikael was stronger and faster than any non-Original vampires and is one of the most powerful supernatural beings with the exception of Marcel Gerard and Lucien Castle as Upgraded Original vampires , and possibly, but confirmed, Alaric Saltzman when he was an Enhanced Original Vampire and had strength at least on par with Klaus.
It was shown in Live and Let Die , that Mikael was able to fight Klaus on a relative equal ground now that Klaus broke his Hybrid Curse, even overpowering him at certain times, all while he was still weakened and recovering from werewolf venom. Mikael has overpowered three of his children in a fight, while facing all three simultaneously, a feat no other being has ever managed to accomplish.
In a flashback to Le Grand Guignol , when Mikael arrived in New Orleans in , he easily threw Elijah and Klaus across large distances with no effort while Klaus was still under the Hybrid Curse, and it took all of Elijah's strength to stop Mikael from staking him with the White Oak Stake, with Mikael not showing strain.
Elijah told Klaus as they fled that they together could not fight him, as he was to strong, a testament to his strength over his Original Vampire children. A more recent testament to his strength has been shown where he single-handledly slaughtered Werewolves wearing Moonlight rings and once again, overpowered his son, Elijah.
All of this with only having fed on little bit of Davina's blood. During said fight between Elijah and Mikael, their strength differences can be seen despite the fact that Mikael sustained multiple werewolf bites before squaring off with his son; while Elijah was only able to turn Mikael's head with a punch, the latter was able to send Elijah crashing into the counter with a backhand.
It has been implied by Michael Narducci that Mikael is stronger than his children because he was stronger as a human before turning, which was then amplified. While he has drank Vampire blood for centuries instead of Human blood, it has been confirmed to not have any affect on his strength.
We also know that his unique diet effected his ability to gain sustenance from Human blood, as he states to Davina that Human blood does little to sustain him anymore. Mikael's sheer strength seems to be superior to even Klaus', the Original Hybrid, as Mikael was able to dominate the fight between them and physically overpower Klaus when they struggled with the White Oak Stake. It should be noted that Mikael still had werewolf venom in his system during this fight as his wounds were still not fully healed.
It was implied that he may have a certain tolerance for Werewolf venom, since he deliberately fed on vampires infected with that very venom shortly after Davina revived him. During the fight between step-father and step-son, their emotional states could be seen, Mikael being relatively calm with no sign of straining while Klaus visibly struggled during the fight.
Another notable skill for Mikael is his intense tolerance for pain, being able to practically ignore the effects of the werewolf venom, and even overcome the effects of Papa Tunde's Blade. A day later after this event and still weakened by the blade and only partially restored by human blood, Mikael was still able to fight Klaus and was still physically powerful as he was successfully pushing the white oak stake closer to Klaus' heart before the latter used Mikael's momentum against him and forced him into a pillar and then into a wall.
In addition to his tremendous strength and willpower, Mikael was a highly skilled fighter, being trained by his father since he was a child and he himself trained his children, Mikael utilized many martial arts moves and counter attacks in his hand to hand fights, using his immense strength to compliment his style as a technical fighter.
He is also noted to be one of two people in history that have ever made Klaus genuinely fear for his life, the other being Mikael's wife, and Klaus' mother; Esther. As said above Mikael has over-powered Klaus while still weakened with werewolf venom, and Klaus was far from calm in said fight and should Klaus ever become enraged or transform completely into his Werewolf form, Mikael still has superior fighting skills and a tolerance for werewolf venom, making a werewolf's primary attack, its bite, useless.
Mikael was able to stake Klaus with the White Oak Stake after a vicious battle it should be noted that the latter was forced to let his guard down, when Mikael threw Papa Tunde's Blade at Camille, Klaus had to save his friend's life ; however, Davina and Kol temporarily drained the stake of it's power, allowing Klaus to recover once pulled out before it was reactivated. Mikael was able to do this despite still recovering from werewolf venom, and being weak and recovering from Papa Tunde's Blade, demonstrating his power and skill over Klaus even while weakened, though it was shown that with the combined effects of the Blade and the venom, Klaus was able to fight on a slightly more even level to Mikael.
Mikael again demonstrated superior willpower and determination when he was able to still use his powers to wound Dahlia while being desiccated by her, whereas Klaus couldn't and had to be fed blood by Elijah before he could resume his attack on her. Mikael had the typical weaknesses of an Original Vampire though he was able to tolerate the effects of Werewolf venom and even overcome Papa Tunde's blade. To compare, Elijah was rendered unconscious after two bites from two werewolves, while Mikael sustained more injuries from a horde and managed to kill them all.
His ability to overcome Papa Tunde's blade came from his training, as he learned to master his pain. Unlike the relationships Mikael had with his other children, this one was the most profound as was the apparent loss of Freya that shaped Mikael into a cold and vicious man.
The loss of his first-born child negatively impacted the relationship with each of his future children and shaped him up to become "the Destroyer". After the loss of Freya - according to Esther - Mikael distance himself from Esther, hurting from the loss and grief. Which caused Esther to seek comfort in the hands of Ansel - and resulted in the birth of Klaus. This shows how much Freya's "death" impacted Mikael.
As a man with so much commitment to his family, Mikael turned into an abusive father - hiding his grief behind anger. He also was never shown talking about Freya. Not even once - not to his wife or children, although the loss of his first born child was understandable, this did not excuse his behavior for what he did to Klaus and his other children. After reuniting, Mikael was made aware of Dahlia's return, and was helping his daughter with her plan to kill Dahlia in a combined effort, even working together with Klaus.
Before being executed by Klaus, without a fight in a sneak attack, Mikael's last words were how he was sorry and loved Freya. Mikael was the step-father of Klaus.
Mikael and Klaus have a complicated and antagonistic relationship. However, it was Mikael who chose a name for him. Mikael did not always hate Klaus as he confessed when Klaus was born he was very happy, but when he proved to be different than the rest of his children, he changed his attitude toward his step-son. Mikael physically assaulted Klaus in his childhood, for which Klaus despises him. However, despite how abusive Mikael was, in his mind, he genuinely was trying to make Klaus stronger in order to be able to survive and even though he was angry at Klaus for taking Henrik with him to watch the werewolves turn, which led to Henrik dying, he cared for Klaus enough to include him among the rest of his children to be turned into immortals.
After all the children of Mikael and Esther turned into immortals, it was revealed that Klaus is not the son of Mikael and when Mikael found out about this, he felt relief but even after learning Klaus was not his son, he still did not want to kill him and only had Esther suppress his wolf side. However, when Klaus killed Esther , Klaus turned his family against their father by framing Mikael for the murder of their mother, and the siblings ran away from Mikael, Mikael hunted down Klaus for centuries, trying to destroy him until finally he was killed.
Mikael is the only one who still has emotional control over Klaus, and not looking at the fact that they hate each other, they still look at each other as father and son, even after Klaus met Ansel , his biological father.
He still considers Mikael as his only true father, despite not being biologically related, because only a father could inflict as much pain as Mikael did to Klaus, as well as the fact Mikael raised Klaus. Mikael and Klaus first worked together against Dahlia to save their daughters.
They almost overcame Dahlia together, but she was too strong and destroyed their weapon to kill her. The alliance between Klaus and Mikael did not last partly because of Klaus' jealousy of Mikael's relationship with Freya, and mainly because Klaus could not forgive Mikael for what he did to him as a child.
Before killing him, Klaus asked why Mikael was so cruel to him, and Mikael said that he did not know, that he just did, and this seemed to have saddened Klaus. Once Klaus staked Mikael, Mikael appeared to extend his hand toward Klaus' face as a sign of affection before his corpse burned to ash, giving Klaus a shocked expression as his step-father did not always hate him completely and he appeared sad for a moment.
Klaus also killed Mikael as a way to acquire more Viking ash to make more weapons against Dahlia. Season One. Season Two. Season Three. Season Four. Season Five. The Vampire Diaries Wiki Explore.

Mikael went on to burn down much of the city of New Orleans and slaughtered more vampires, leaving Marcel as one of the few survivors of his wrath. Chicago Mikael in the s.
In the s, three years after the New Orleans massacre, Mikael had tracked Rebekah and Niklaus to Chicago, where they were regular customers at Gloria's Bar. As it was Prohibition at the time, Mikael infiltrated the Chicago police force and became the Police Chief, using the fact that Gloria was running a speakeasy as an excuse to send the police officers to shoot up the bar with wooden bullets in search of his children.
However, when Mikael finally arrived in the aftermath of the gunfight, Klaus and Rebekah had already vanished. Mikael questioned many of the bar's patrons, including Stefan Salvatore, but since Stefan was compelled to forget that he ever knew Klaus and Rebekah, he was unable to be of any help to him. Mikael realized that Klaus had compelled away Stefan's memories and informed the officers that they were done there, and began his search anew to find where his children had fled next.
Despite the Founder's Council's best efforts to kill Mikael, they were unsuccessful, and Abby Bennett Wilson, Elena's mother Miranda's best friend, decided to use her powers as a witch to neutralize Mikael by tapping into dark magic to desiccate him.
She lured him out of town to Charlotte, North Carolina, and once he was incapacitated, she entombed him in a cemetery there, where he laid dormant for nearly twenty years. However, tales of Mikael, the vampire who hunts vampires, were still told by many throughout the centuries, and Katherine Pierce even mentioned that she had heard stories of him from her best friend Pearl in the s, which was why she was ultimately the person who tracked him down and released him with the intention of killing Klaus for good.

Prior to his death, Mikael still held affection for his family despite that most of them were against him for years, he was pleased to see Rebekah again and upon seeing her in her new body, asked with amusement on what mischief she had gotten herself into, indicating he was used to seeing Rebekah getting herself in trouble. He fought furiously for Freya, something that made Klaus jealous, as he had always wanted his step-father's love and approval.
Mikael's protectiveness over Freya granted him the strength and determination to fight through his desiccation and be the only one to manage to land a hit on Dahlia. When questioned by Klaus on why he despised him as he was growing up, Mikael claimed not to know. Mikael in his dying moments, reached out for Klaus before burning, showing he did care for Klaus.

A time before all the disappointments, the revelations of betrayal, there were moments where all you had to do was be my father! And even then you despised me didn't you? I want to know why. Mikael is the fourth Original vampire to appear in the series.
Mikael was the first to show that an Original Vampire could compel a hybrid due to them still being part vampire. Mikael was the only Original vampire that wasn't neutralized by the Brotherhood of the Five as he was not in Italy at the time of the ambush.
Mikael is the first vampire shown to drink other vampires ' blood in the series, and does not feed on living things, but from the predators themselves. In the novels Katherine and Klaus also drained vampires of their blood.
Elijah claims that Mikael despises the vampires as a species, despite having a hand in creating them, therefore he kills them and feeds on them for food. Though usually choosing not to, Mikael will feed on humans if he needs to or if he wants to use them as bait.
Mikael has killed more werewolves than anyone else in the entire show. Like Klaus, all of his kills were shown off screen. He fiercely hates them. He considers their bloodlines as filth. Of all the Original vampires, Mikael can be considered the most threatening and proud.
Mikael's title has three meanings to it. It refers to him as a Hunter of Original Vampires, as well as being the first vampire hunter to exist, as well as identifying he is an Original Vampire, who hunts other vampires.
He is also known as The Destroyer as he has burnt many cities to the ground hunting his children, including half of Europe over 1, years according to Elijah. He is known as The Hunter of Vampires, or the vampire that hunts vampires. Mikael sees werewolves and hybrids as abominations. Like when he sees Klaus transform, he calls him a beast and an abomination. According to Klaus, New Orleans have been burned down twice, the second time by Mikael himself.
In Le Grand Guignol , it is revealed he favors Rebekah over the rest of his children. It is also shown that he is proud to call Elijah his son, which is the complete opposite of how he views Klaus. His previous favorite child was also a daughter. In Le Grand Guignol , it is revealed that Mikael promised to Marcel that he will permit him be with Rebekah and will make him a leader of the city in thanks for calling him to New Orleans.
It was revealed in Farewell to Storyville , that Mikael was physically abusive to Klaus, and to his other children if they tried to help him. In Le Grand Guignol , Marcel describes Mikael as "The worst of them all," in regards to the threats he has faced and survived.
Similarly Klaus states that, "Mikael was the monster that monsters were afraid of. Davina uses the birth of Hope Mikaelson , a Nexus Vorti , an event so infrequent that it is practically a miracle, to resurrect Mikael. He is technically the first Original vampire in history to be fully resurrected in both body and spirit, his body having been burnt to ashes with the White Oak Stake, is restored with his spirit, with Klaus' body not burning fully in Season 3, as well as his spirit not being in his body, was able to return his spirit to his body without harm.
Alaric is the second Original to be fully resurrected in both body and spirit. Mikael's characterization in the flashbacks of his children is somewhat different from the characterization he has when people are dealing with him directly. This may be because all of his appearance in flashbacks have been narrated by his children, who have a strong bias against him.
Mikael was hard and strict on his children, especially Klaus, try to justifying his abusive behavior of Klaus as necessary to make him stronger to survive before it became a habit he seemed to enjoy. Upon learning Klaus was not his true son, and after Esther 's murder, Mikael lost whatever feeling he may have had to his once son, desiring vengeance for 1, years, something he has not shown to other characters except his children, enforcing their bias.
According to Michael Narducci, Mikael is stronger than his children because of his human strength and vampire blood is merely a preference of his. If true, then Mikael would indeed be one of, if not the most powerful supernatural creatures in the series, with feats exceeding Alaric ; it is shown that Klaus was not using his full powers. Unlike Augustine Vampires, drinking vampire blood does not increase his strength. In Red Door , Mikael stated that he didn't always hate Klaus.
He once thought that Klaus would grow up to be a warrior. In Red Door , Klaus stated that it was the first time he had seen Mikael run from anything. According to Esther in Wheel Inside the Wheel , Mikael was once a kind and loving man with their two children Freya and Finn, but that all changed when Esther told him Freya had died of the plague.
Unknown to him though, his sister-in-law took his daughter as a price for a deal she made with Esther, taking away every firstborn of each generation of Esther's bloodline. Despite sharing similar views on vampires, Finn views Mikael as a monster. Mikael is the first of only two people who were able to wound Dahlia , out of all his children and himself, when they first fought Dahlia, despite being desiccated, in Night Has A Thousand Eyes.
Klaus was later able to wound and kill her in Ashes to Ashes. Mikael met his wife Esther when Vikings attacked her home and kidnapped her and her sister. Mikael was the reason Klaus was in hiding when Elijah and Klaus were introduced in TVD, as he vanished from the world due to being imprisoned by Abby Bennett, causing Klaus to become so paranoid he decided to withdraw from society completely as explained in TO season three.
It was implied in For the Next Millennium that Mikael never had a bloodline, or at least none that Lucien knew of. If Mikael ever had sired vampires, he never sired enough for other vampires to notice upon his first death, but given how Mikael hated the rest of the vampire species as a whole, even feeding on vampires instead of humans, it is unlikely that Mikael ever sired any vampires.
His turn towards power and self-preservation blossomed fully when he and his siblings became vampires and his father learned quickly afterward that Klaus was not his biological son. Incensed at the revelation and the idea that Klaus was a vampire and werewolf hybrid, his parents magically suppressed his werewolf side.
Their torment and rejection of him because of what they perceived as the evil of his true nature became a self-fulfilling prophecy. When people see him as evil, as his parents did, Klaus simply fulfills that role — often in the most brutal way possible.
Despite his desire to be seen as merciless and unyielding, Klaus is actually the one member of the Original family who has a regular hobby: painting.
His painting is the one constant in his life. He even claims one of his landscapes is hanging in the Hermitage museum. Klaus' paintings serve as a window into his soul. When his creations are shown on both The Vampire Diaries and The Originals they often have a haunting, lonely quality to them that speaks to the way Klaus really feels. It seems Klaus pours all the sensitivity and delicate emotions he suppresses in other parts of his life into his art.
Since Klaus was turned into a vampire, he has been on the run from his adoptive father, Mikael. Mikael became a hunter of vampires in general when he saw what his children had become. However, he was particularly adamant about taking down Klaus due to both his hybrid nature and the fact that he took out his mother and framed Mikael for the crime. Klaus never seemed to much care for a majority of the characters on The Vampire Diaries.
Sometimes this was for selfish reasons, as it was with Elena whose blood helped him make hybrids, or because he genuinely cared, as it was with Caroline. In the process, he saved the whole gang from a band of angry resurrected ghosts. While Klaus can be cruel and indifferent towards life, he does have some sense of morality.
When he drained his first victim as a vampire, Klaus triggered his werewolf curse, becoming a hybrid. This was an abomination in the eyes of his parents and they quickly suppressed his werewolf side.
As a result, Klaus never got to experience all of who he was and what he was capable of. Despite successfully breaking the curse, Klaus never seems to embrace his werewolf side. The only thing from his werewolf heritage he uses to his advantage is the werewolf venom in his bite, which is lethal to non-Original vampires. While this makes him scarier than even the other Original vampires, he continues to lead with his vampire side in every other aspect of his existence.
Klaus never really knew his biological father, Ansel. Klaus barely believes it and wants nothing to do with Ansel at first. Klaus and his family lived in Mystic Falls as humans centuries ago. When Elijah tells the story of their origins, he claims the family was happy.
Klaus always had the most difficult time even then because their father always disliked him. Klaus and his siblings were close, though, and Klaus was a devoted brother.
Although his relationship with his father was challenging, Klaus had not yet developed the anger and loneliness that caused him to become suspicious of his siblings after they became vampires. However, when it starts, Klaus uses Cami for his own ends. At first, his goal is to manipulate his former friend Marcel. Later, he compels Cami to record his memoirs and then forgot about all things supernatural as soon as she leaves his presence.
During one of these sessions, however, Cami figures out what he truly wants: a therapist. For Klaus, his encounters with Cami offer him a chance to examine his vulnerabilities while his compulsion of her prevents his secrets from ever being exposed.
Klaus has been known to show flashes of compassion. The most prominent example of this is his adoption of Marcel. Fans were first introduced to Marcel as the vampire ruler of New Orleans, but his beginnings were quite humble. He was born the son of a slave in the early s.
Nonetheless, Klaus could be hard on Marcel. This was especially true when Marcel reached maturity and started a relationship with Rebekah. Klaus was unwilling to let the relationship progress and took out his ire on both Marcel and Rebekah, despite his claim that he loved them both.
Regardless of how much he cares about her and the sacrifices he makes to keep her safe, Klaus has a habit of disappointing Hope as a father. His imprisonment is the key to keeping the rest of his family safe. However, when the Mikaelsons finally find a way out of their predicament, a new problem raises its head.
It's a move that makes it necessary for Klaus to stay away from Hope. However, in the years that follow, Klaus barely stays in contact with his daughter, never calling or writing to her. Hope misses and resents her father, but he was unwilling to be there for her until it became absolutely necessary for him to return to New Orleans.
When fans first meet Elijah and then Klaus on The Vampire Diaries , their relationship seems antagonistic. Elijah even claims he wants to eliminate his brother — until he changes his mind at the last minute.
Yet, on The Originals it became clear that Elijah has spent a majority of his life hoping Klaus would become a better person. While the dependency between the brothers often seems to primarily come from Elijah, it becomes clear that Klaus needs his older brother too.
Elijah serves as a sort of moral compass for Klaus and is often the only one who can control him.
