Everyone expects the worst from Niklaus Mikaelson. When anyone hears the name, they think of the evil hybrid bastard. A sadistic man who would stop at nothing to get what he wants, even if it meant hurting his loved ones. A monster who would kill anyone and everyone that angered him. What you don't think of is an overprotective father, one that coddles his children and cuddles with them everytime they're upset. A father who would go out of his way to see his child smile or laugh. A father that would feel like dying if his children hated him. Niklaus Mikaelson is all of the above and more.
