List of The Originals characters

Nonetheless, Klaus is extremely manipulative and quick to use the most complex and devious of means to strong-arm and force people to give him his way, believing they will always follow their most base and selfish urges.

Although stronger than his Original Vampire maternal half-siblings due to his Werewolf heritage, some of his siblings like Elijah and Kol have displayed the ability to fight Klaus on almost equal terms, though not enough to defeat him as the latter always turns the tables with the use of his superior powers or skills.

It is later revealed that Rose and Trevor were the vampires who failed to keep Katerina Petrova (Katherine Pierce) alive for Klaus to sacrifice in the ritual required to release his werewolf abilities.

Rebekah is reluctantly roped into staying and playing happy families by Elijah, who wants the siblings to repair their relationships and welcome their newest member: Klaus's child.

Hayley is in an abandoned barn helping Kimberley break her sire bond when Tyler arrives, saying Caroline got them another day by agreeing to go with Klaus to the Miss Mystic Falls Pageant.

In the second season, Hayley is struggling to adapt to her new hybrid status, feeling grieved over not having her daughter, enraged at the witches who tried to kill her baby, and disgusted at having to live like a vampire and drink blood.

Power, revenge for the injustices of his early childhood, and an obsession with outstripping and one-upping the Mikaelson's, especially Klaus, for never feeling like a true member of the family are Marcel's primary motivating factors.

Marcel successfully subdued and drove out the werewolves using a curse, placates the humans with promises of a low death count and limiting attacks to tourists, and recently came into possession of a super weapon that allows him total control of the witches, banning them from using magic.

Marcel becomes obsessed with taking back rulership and begins using guerrilla warfare tactics to incite a civil war among the city's supernatural factions and undermine Elijah's peace treaties.

In season three, she joins the Strix's coven known as the Sisters in order to bring back her lover Kol Mikaelson being offered a powerful resurrection spell in exchange for her help.

However, 8 months before the start of the series, she watched her niece, Monique Deveraux, die in The Harvest, a sacrificial ritual that allows the witches in New Orleans to draw power from their ancestors.

After an unimaginably tragic event in her family, Camille became a psychology student in order to study human behavior, in the hopes of proving that people can't just be "evil".

Freya Mikaelson is the firstborn child of Mikael and Esther, the eldest sister of Finn, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik, the maternal older half-sister of Niklaus, and the paternal aunt of Klaus' daughter with Hayley Marshall, Hope.

They moved there under the advisement of Esther's dear friend and mentor, a witch named Ayana, who told them that the inhabitants were extremely healthy and had increased strength and speed.

After a few months of peace in the supernatural community in New Orleans, troubles started again with the arrival of Lucien Castle, Klaus's first progeny, and his warnings of war between the sire-lines, and so, Freya's enormous magical powers were needed again to protect her family from harm.

It was later revealed that right after Josh turned up in New Orleans and had vampire blood in his system, Klaus Mikaelson broke his and his friend's neck to create spies for himself against Marcel and his empire.

In the episode Gonna Set Your Flag on Fire when the rest of the vampires and werewolves are trapped at Marcel's compound by a witch's spell, Josh and Aiden fully acknowledge their love for each other.

An integral part of the launch of Legacies, Hope finally showed that she is more than her darkened lineage, until that is, she threw herself into Malivore to save her boyfriend Landon Kirby and the world, erasing herself from existence.

Much like the Originals, Hope is left with a weakness to a single type of wood, in her case from a Red Oak Tree that she had created with Josie and Lizzie Saltzman shortly before becoming the tribrid.

Hope attacks Alaric, leaving him comatose and later permanently crippled, and teams up with Aurora De Martel, an old enemy of the Mikaelson family who had been locked up by her father years before.

Kol reluctantly restrains himself from exacting revenge upon his brother at Freya's behest and eventually gains an understanding of him, mourning Finn's death after he is killed by Lucien Castle.

Banished from New Orleans by Marcel, Kol and Rebekah decide to leave to find new lives, but they are drawn back after witnessing the deaths of several vampires and realizing that Elijah is dead.

Gia is a beautiful, soulful, edgy, rocker-girl vampire who left home at an early age due to her rocky upbringing and who became involved in New Orleans music scene.

Unbeknownst to his family, Finn's consciousness had slowly been returning, leaving him trapped in a hellish state from which he couldn't escape, unlike the others who had remained unconscious the entire time.

With Davina's spell keeping Freya from transferring Finn's spirit back into her pendant, he dies surrounded by his family, happy to finally have the acceptance that he had always sought from them.

Aurora is used as leverage against Tristan who is imprisoned at the bottom of the ocean by the Mikaelsons and she steals the last remaining piece of the White Oak Tree for a coven of witches called the Sisters.

When Hope challenges Ken to combat, he instead sends Aurora in his place, armed with a spear made out of god magic and ash from the Red Oak Tree.

The Hollow, whose real name is Inadu, was born to a Native American tribe who bestowed upon her great power throughout her mother's pregnancy in the hopes of her becoming a symbol of prosperity.

Over the next centuries, the Hollow's spirit influenced people to acts of evil and targeted her own bloodline for destruction, leaving Hayley Marshall as the last survivor.

By tapping into the Hollow's power to kill a large group of attacking vampires, Hope manages to regain some control over herself, but she remains darkly affected by the spirit's presence.
