Main cast The following is a list of series regulars who have appeared in one or more of the series' eight seasons. The characters are listed in the order they were first credited in the series. Key   Main cast   Recurring cast   Guest cast Elena Gilbert Played by Nina Dobrev Starring seasons: 1–6 Voice only role season: 7 Guest starring season: 8 Katherine Pierce Played by Nina Dobrev Starring seasons:1-5 Recurring seasons: 1, 3-4 Guest starring season: 8 Katherine Pierce (based on Katherine von Swartzschild from the novels) is the ancestor of Elena Gilbert and the doppelgänger of Tatia Petrova, and Amara Petrova. Katherine Pierce was born Katerina Petrova on June 5, 1473, to a Bulgarian family but was disowned after having a child out of wedlock. This child, Nadia, would eventually become a vampire who would spend 500 years searching for her mother. She fled Bulgaria and reached England, where she met Klaus Mikaelson and his brother Elijah, members of the Original Vampire Family. She was attracted to Elijah but was horrified when she found out that Klaus planned to sacrifice her for a ritual. So, she charmed Trevor, a young man, and used him as a means of escape. This led to him sending her to Rose-Marie. Rose was shocked after hearing of Trevor's betrayal and, afraid of Klaus, told Katerina that she would turn her over to Klaus. This led to Katerina committing suicide, ultimately stabbing herself, forcing Rose (a vampire) to heal her with vampire blood. When Trevor arrived, Rose went to meet him and Katerina, seizing the opportunity, Katerina hung herself and successfully turned into a vampire by killing the human host (who Rose had compelled) of the house. She then sabotaged Klaus' plan by running away with the moonstone. Because Katerina was no longer human, her blood no longer was a viable component of the ritual to undo the curse. Klaus was so infuriated with Katerina's sabotage that she was forced to live on the run for over 500 years as he hunted her down. She played and used both the Salvatore brothers. Even though she loved Stefan Salvatore. In season 4, Elena Gilbert forces the cure down Katherine's throat in act of revenge, and Katherine becomes human again. Katherine’s long lost daughter, Nadia Petrova finds Katherine after 500 years of searching for her. Katherine pushes her away at first. However, in season 5, after the Cure is removed from her system by Silas, Katherine begins to rapidly age and die. Katherine's daughter Nadia reminds her that as the daughter of a Traveler, she possesses the untapped powers of one and Katherine uses them to become a Passenger in Elena’s body, causing her to not have to age any longer as her body has already been buried. Katherine makes amends with Nadia on her death bed, after being bitten by a hybrid Tyler Lockwood. Stefan kills Katherine with the Travelers' Knife, expelling Katherine from Elena's body. Rather than going to the Other Side, Katherine's soul is dragged into Hell, but not before she injects Elena's body with a compound to make her go crazy in a final effort to get revenge upon her. However, her plan is foiled when Stefan and Caroline manage to get a cure with the help of Enzo and the Travelers. In season 8, Katherine is resurrected from Hell when the Maxwell Bell is rung 11 times by Matt Donovan. After Cade's death, Kai Parker reveals that Katherine has become the new Queen of Hell while Katherine herself reveals to Stefan and Damon that she has spent the years since her death manipulating Cade, causing his interest in them. Much like Cade, she is now only vulnerable to a dagger made out of her own bones, but it can only send her back to Hell, not permanently kill Katherine. With Vicki Donovan ringing the bell 12 times to destroy Mystic Falls with hellfire, the gang comes up with a plan to redirect the hellfire back into Hell and destroy it for good. As the hellfire is unleashed, Stefan sacrifices himself to kill Katherine a final time, sending her soul back to Hell where it is destroyed along with the realm by the hellfire that is redirected by Bonnie, bringing a final end to Katherine Pierce. Notably Katherine and Elena are distinguished by the hair styling, Elena usually opts for straight hair in comparison to Katherine's waves. Stefan Salvatore Played by Paul Wesley Starring seasons: 1-8 Stefan Salvatore (based on Stefan Salvatore from the novels) was born and raised in Mystic Falls to Giuseppe Salvatore and Lily Salvatore, who died when he was young. Stefan is the younger brother of Damon, and the two were best friends in life. However, this changed when the brothers fell in love with Katherine Pierce. Once Stefan discovered Katherine was a vampire, Stefan was both scared and repulsed by Katherine and vampirism in general. Katherine, however, compelled Stefan to not be afraid of her, to keep her secret, and to drink her vampire blood against his will. Silas Played by several cast members as illusions, true form played by Paul Wesley Starring season: 5 Recurring season: 4 Silas is an ancient immortal Traveler witch and one of the world's first immortal beings. Unlike vampires, he is a true immortal alongside his love Amara. However, he was desiccated in ancient times and trapped on an island and sought to get free and find Amara. The true goal of the Brotherhood of the Five is to find Silas and bring a final end to him. Due to Nature's rules, over the millennia, a series of doppelgangers were created, born looking exactly identical to Silas and Amara and dying in their place. Stefan Salvatore is one of Silas' doppelgangers while Amara's include Katherine Pierce and Elena Gilbert. In season four, Silas manipulates Professor Atticus Shane who visited Silas' resting place while grieving for his lost wife. Through Shane, Silas sets the stage for his return, including setting up several massacres so that Silas can create an Expression Triangle and bring down the Veil between life and the Other Side. After Jeremy Gilbert becomes one of the Brotherhood of the Five, he is able to complete his Hunter's Mark leading to Silas by killing Kol Mikaelson and thus all of the vampires in his bloodline. The group successfully finds Silas and the Cure to vampirism that he holds, but Katherine feeds Silas Jeremy's blood to fully revive him and Silas kills Jeremy. Taking on the form of Shane, who had actually died on the island, Silas manipulates Bonnie into doing his bidding by preying on her grief over the death of Jeremy. Silas' powers prove to be so great that not even Klaus Mikaelson, the Original Hybrid, is a match for him. Ultimately, Bonnie drops the Veil f.... Discover the John Kelly Elena Martin popular books.
