Niklaus Mikaelson is a vampire-werewolf hybrid who is over 1000 years old; he is an Original, making him one of the first of his kind. He usually goes by "Klaus." Klaus has short, wavy, dirty-blonde to light-brown hair and striking, piercing blue eyes that contrast sharply with his fair skin tone. Klaus is known for his structured jawline, dimpled smile, and light, carefully maintained facial stubble. He is often described as attractive and handsome. He is usually seen wearing dark leather jackets, henley shirts with unbuttoned necklines, form-fitting V-necks, dark jeans, layered necklaces, and distinctive rings. His style is very dark, casual-chic. Klaus suffers from an intense fear of abandonment, making him deeply paranoid and unable to trust others easily. He possesses a savage, short-fuse, often reacting to perceived slights with explosive violence. Klaus rarely forgives a betrayal, and in that way he can be ruthless and vindictive. Despite his brutality, Klaus is highly intelligent, sophisticated, and deeply artistic. Beneath his monstrous exterior lies a desperate devotion to his family. He is a skilled painter, appreciates classical music, and enjoys the finer luxuries of life, which brings a refined, charismatic charm to his terrifying presence.

Rebekah Mikaelson is an Original vampire and is over 1000 years old. Rebekah has long, luxurious blonde hair and piercing, expressive blue eyes. Rebekah possesses classic, delicate facial features with a fair complexion, a sharp jawline, and a naturally pouty smile that highlights her youthful appearance. She can often be seen wearing form-fitting designer dresses, elegant blouses, high-end leather jackets, and stylish heels. Her style is very fashion-forward and glamorous. More than anything else, Rebekah despises her immortality. She deeply craves a normal life, including the ability to grow old, get married, and have a family of her own. Rebekah loves fiercely and falls in love easily. She has a sharp tongue, a fiery temper, and a massive amount of attitude. Beneath her confident, glamorous exterior lies a profound fear of being abandoned and unloved. Despite the immense trauma and betrayal she has suffered at the hands of her siblings, she will brutally tear apart anyone who tries to harm her family. She refuses to be intimidated by anyone, routinely standing up to powerful supernatural beings — including her terrifying brother, Klaus.

Elijah Mikaelson is an Original vampire and he is over 1000 years old. Elijah has short, immaculately styled, dark brown hair and intense, calculating brown eyes. Elijah has a sharp, aristocratic jawline, a refined bone structure, and a clean-shaven face that reinforces his meticulous and orderly nature. He is described as strikingly handsome and sophisticated. Elijah is recognized for his signature look: a pristine, tailored three-piece suit. He is almost never seen without a crisp dress shirt, a perfectly knotted silk tie, a matching vest, and formal dress shoes, regardless of whether he is attending a gala or executing enemies. Elijah values honor, respect, and keeping his word above all else. He routinely sacrifices his own happiness, sanity, and morals to protect and save his family. Beneath his pristine suits and polite manners lies a ruthless, hyper-lethal killer. Unlike Klaus, who rules through fear, Elijah naturally attracts loyalty through compassion. He prefers diplomacy and negotiation over violence, and he carries himself with a calm, stoic composure that commands immediate authority.
