The Mikaelson Family ||1

The Mikaelson Family is a powerful family whose line dates back at least to the then Kingdom of Norway in the late 10th century with Mikael and Esther, a wealthy landowner and a Viking warrior, and a housewife and a witch, respectively.

When their first born Freya died of a plague, Esther and Mikael were devastated and planned to move away from the place that gave them such great sorrow. Esther and Mikael heard from a Witch called Ayana, Esther's best friend and mentor, that there was a land where everyone was healthy and strong, a land that ended up being the New World, specifically what is now modern-day Mystic Falls.

Mikael and Esther with Freya's surviving brother, Finn, and their recently born son Elijah traveled to this paradise with Ayana, where they settled into a village full of the healthy people they had learned about, who were revealed to be werewolves, and lived peacefully for years.

In the years to follow, Esther bore five more children: Niklaus, Mieczyslaw, Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik.

At the beginning of the 11th century, the family was mortal until the loss of Esther and Mikael's youngest child, Henrik to a werewolf attack.

Grief-stricken, Mikael decided to search for a way to protect his family from the werewolves. Though their family friend Ayana refused to help him in fear of upsetting the balance of nature, Mikael soon found another witch who would help him - his wife, Esther. Somehow, they were able to learn of the immortality spell created by Qetsiyah a thousand years previously, and adapted the spell in order to give their children abilities of superhuman strength, speed, agility and healing that would be even stronger than those of the werewolves. Esther drew on mystic symbols in order to fuel her spell; she called upon the Sun for life, and the white oak tree, long known for being one of the earth's eternal objects, for immortality, so that she and Mikael would never again have to suffer the grief of losing a child.

In order to complete the ritual, Mikael had his children drink wine laced with the blood of Tatia, a Petrova doppelgänger and distant descendant of the world's first immortal woman, Amara, before he then thrust his sword through their chests.

They awoke in transition, and on their father's orders, drank Human blood from a village girl in order to complete their transformation into the Original vampires. Unfortunately for them, there were consequences for this transformation, and Nature sought to try to restore the balance they upset by giving them a weakness for every new strength they had gained.

The sun that gave them life burned them, their thirst for human blood was insatiable, and their neighbors could close their homes to them by not inviting them inside. Vervain flowers, which grew at the base of the white oak tree, burned them and protected against compulsion. Finally, the White Oak Tree, which gave them immortality, was also the one substance on earth that could actually destroy them for good.

In the end, they burned the tree down to ensure their own survival, though the ashes were later saved to later be used against them.

When Klaus made his first kill after being turned into a vampire, it triggered his werewolf gene, which ultimately revealed the truth of his true parentage to his family- Klaus was not Mikael's son but was instead the son of the chief of their village's werewolf clan, with whom Esther had an affair.

Once Mikael learned of Esther's infidelity and realized that her lover's pack were the werewolves who had killed Henrik, Mikael hunted down and killed Klaus' father and his entire family, igniting a war between Vampires and Werewolves, that still exists to this day.

Soon after the Mikaelsons were turned into vampires and learned of Klaus' werewolf heritage, Esther was obligated to curse Klaus in order to make his werewolf nature dormant so that he would not upset nature further by possessing so much power. However, Klaus felt betrayed by this punishment, and in retaliation, Klaus murdered his mother and framed Mikael for the act.

The Original Vampires are known as the most powerful supernatural beings in the world, but the Mikaelson family is also known for having members who are witches and Hybrids as well.

Original Vampires can only be neutralized by taking a special silver dagger enchanted by the Witch of the Brotherhood of the Five that is dipped in the ash remains of the original white oak tree and driving it through their hearts. However, Klaus is a hybrid, and since silver daggers do not affect him (because werewolves heal when wounded by silver), the only way to kill Klaus is with a stake carved from the white oak tree. Mikael had carved one before the tree was burned down, which caused Klaus to fear him during the centuries that he was active.

After Esther's death at Klaus' hands in the 11th century, Elijah, Mieczyslaw and Rebekah swore to stick with Niklaus, "Always and Forever."

However, over the centuries, Klaus started using the silver daggers he stole from the Five to neutralize his siblings whenever they interfered with his life or plans.

Finn was the first to be daggered in the 1100s, and was left neutralized for nine hundred years, while Kol was daggered on multiple occasions and for various lengths of time. Rebekah also had a similar fate to Kol and was also daggered on various occasions. Mieczyslaw or Stiles as he liked to be called, was daggered, for falling in love and marrying a Witch named Augustine Maybell.

When his siblings were daggered, Klaus dragged them around in coffins, which he never kept far from wherever he was living. However, for many centuries, Elijah was the only sibling to escape his wrath, and Klaus led Elijah to believe that he had dropped their incapacitated siblings deep in the ocean where they could never be found. For this betrayal, Elijah swore revenge on his brother.

Over the years, legend began to surround the Original Vampires as their story became lost to history: all vampires knew that they were descended from the first generation of vampires, but they knew next to nothing about them. Only one was actually known at all: Klaus. He was believed, mistakenly, to be the oldest vampire in the world to the few vampires who knew of him, and while many vampires knew of Elijah, he was mistakenly assumed to be a "foot-soldier" or minion of Klaus' and wasn't revealed to be an Original Vampire to most, nor was he known to be Klaus' half-brother.

Mikael was also not anonymous in history, but no one knew he was an Original vampire, either, nor did they know his true goal was to slay his step-son Klaus-he was instead infamously known as Mikael the Destroyer, the ancient vampire who hunted vampires.

Stiles, who was daggered in the 18th century was released from his fate by Marcellus Gerard, Klaus' adoptive son, who was very close to Stiles while growing up, a fifty years later. By then, Stiles had given up hope on Klaus ever becoming the brother he was, before he was turned and so, he ran away after Klaus killed his wife, in a supposed fire, that took half the town they'd lived in, back then.

Stiles, after running away left for a small town named Beacon Hills.
