Kol Mikaelson

Kol is the third son of Mikael and Esther. He is the younger brother of Freya, Finn, Elijah and older brother of Rebekah and Henrik and the younger half-brother of Klaus. He is the uncle Freya and Mathias' unborn son, Klaus and Hayley's daughter, Hope, and Freya and Keelin's son, Nik.

Throughout his life, Kol struggled emotionally with his status as the black sheep of the family, and the belief that his siblings considered him to be more of a nuisance than their own brother. He was shown to be rather spiteful and jealous over Marcel Gerard, whom he perceived was treated more like family than he ever was. As a result of this insecurity, Kol often lashed out violently which earned him a dangerous reputation and on occasion, the ire of his siblings. In reality, his bad behavior is revealed to be simple cries for attention.

Kol feared the return of Silas and was adamant about stopping him. He antagonized the Mystic Falls Gang and at one point Elena Gilbert proposed a truce between them. However, the truce was really a setup to kill Kol and it ultimately led to his demise at the hands of Jeremy Gilbert  Kol was seen on The Other Side as it was slowly collapsing due to Markos' emergence. He encountered Matt Donovan and expressed fear for himself and the other supernatural beings on the Other Side. Kol told Matt to warn everybody who was alive.

Kol escaped the destruction of The Other Side,  His mother, Esther managed to resurrect him and place him into the body of a young witch named Kaleb Westphall. He temporarily aided his mother and his recently resurrected brother, Finn, but quickly followed his own agenda. He ended up pursuing a relationship with the young witch Davina Claire, and joined his brothers Klaus and Elijah, where he ultimately helped them defeat Esther and their father Mikael, once and for all. However, in retaliation for assisting his brothers in stopping their mother by turning her into a vampire, Finn hexed Kol with a deadly spell. He consequently died for the second time, surrounded by his family and girlfriend. Moments before Kol's death, Rebekah promised to bring Kol back.

While looking for ways to bring back Kol, Davina casted a suspension spell and poisoned herself in order to access the Ancestral Plane to see Kol and confirm if a spell The Strix gave her could actually resurrect him. Although the spell is an effective one, Kol tried to lie and say it wasn't because he was worried about the consequences of using it. As Davina is discovered and flees from the Ancestors' realm, she realizes Kol's attempt at deception for her protection. Kol holds the Ancestors off long enough for his girlfriend to escape.

Davina uses a Hand of Glory to bring Kol forth from the Ancestral Plane in order to figure out the missing ingredient for the Sireline Unlinking Spell. He attempts to lie to her by saying that the spell is impossible to break, but she uses her intuition and logic to figure out that the missing ingredient is an unsired heart which Kol devastatingly confirms. After Kol draws magic from the Hand of Glory to knock her out in order to effectively put down the rest of the Sisters that were attempting to extract Hayley's heart, Davina wakes up a few hours later. She looks at the Hand of Glory and becomes upset that they have wasted so much time. She tearfully tells him that she loves him and shares a goodbye kiss with him before the candle blows out and Kol is sent back to the Ancestral Plane.

Kol is successfully resurrected in his true form as an Original Vampire by Davina. Kol tells Davina her spell brought him back how he was when he died in the body she resurrected, his true body, which was an Original Vampire. After she made him a daylight ring, Kol is reunited with all of his siblings and received a warm welcome from all his siblings except for his murderous brother Finn and Rebekah who was daggered for her own safety after being afflicted by the Cursed Stake.

It was revealed by Davina that the Ancestors had corrupted the spell that brought him back to life, causing him to want to rip out Davina's throat, making him slowly become more feral and to give in to his heightened bloodlust until he does. The more he resists killing Davina, the more Kol becomes savage and thirsty for blood to the point he was a mindless animal looking only to feed, beyond thought or reason. It was only after he killed Davina that a horrified Kol was released from the curse, and he was devastated for having unknowingly killed the love of his life.

After Marcel completed his transition into an Upgraded Original Vampire, he used his toxic werewolf bite on both Kol and Elijah as revenge for Davina's death from Elijah's betrayal, and for Kol having unwillingly killed Davina due to the Ancestors. A poisoned Freya saves Kol, Elijah, Rebekah, and herself by using the spell Dahlia cast to survive a thousand years, to put them all in a slumber in stasis to prevent the poisons from killing them until Hayley can find cures for them. They are linked to a neutralized Klaus' lifeforce, while their minds are in a Chambre de Chasse, to be with each other in peace until they awake.

He is cured from the bite and heads to France with Rebekah. They return back to New Orleans after Elijah's temporary death and he finds that The Hollow has brought Davina back to life. When The Hollow possesses Hope, he and his siblings use themselves to separate the Hollow's spirit and he leaves for San Francisco. Seven years later, it is also revealed that he and Davina are now married.

Kol is a member of the Mikaelson Family and an unnamed Witch Family and unnamed families.

Early History

 * Human Life
 * 1002
 * 1114 A.D.
 * Between 13th and 17th Century
 * 1702
 * 1821
 * Early 1900's

Mystic Falls, The Middle Ages, 10th Century
During the Middle Ages, Kol was born in a small village, now known as Mystic Falls. He lived with his family as a human, up until his younger brother, Henrik, was killed by werewolves. It was because of this tragedy that his mother, Esther (who is the Original Witch), and his father, Mikael, decided to take action to protect the rest of their family. Esther performed The Immortality Spell at Mikael's request. She then gave her children wine laced with Tatia's blood and then had Mikael kill their children. Later, Mikael forced them to feed on human blood, thus turning them into the Original Vampires. After the death of Esther, the various members of the Original Family all went different ways and it can be assumed that Kol made his way to Europe around this time.

Before becoming a vampire, Kol practiced magic as a witch and was, according to him, very talented. He even described himself as something of a child prodigy. Kol was also the only one of his siblings to tap into his power and awaken his magic, and so, loved the rush and thrill it gave him. However, when he was turned into a vampire he lost his power and these thrills and was no doubt dismayed. In order to get a similar thrill to what magic once gave him, Kol, as a vampire, became a violent, formidable and feral force.

When Klaus told his siblings that Mikael had murdered their mother, they all ran from home together, fleeing in fear from their father.

After hearing Mikael had killed their mother, Kol fled from home with his siblings for months. They stuck together and fed on people in the countryside. One particular night, after attacking a carriage, Kol fed indiscriminately on one of their victims and was annoyed to have to spend time to hide the bodies. Elijah explained that if the bodies were found, word of their presence might reach Mikael. Feeling aimless and not knowing where to go, Kol suggested that they split up in order to better avoid Mikael. While Finn agreed with the notion, Elijah was quick to put it down, reminding them of their family vow of staying together always and forever.

After attacking a caravan belonging to five nobles in fine clothing who were clearly traveling to a nearby castle, Rebekah suggested that they take their victims' clothing and pose as them so they could live more comfortable lives. They discovered a servant of the castle who had overheard their idea of posing as the guests. He offered to help them with their ruse but the siblings couldn't decide whether to let him live or die. They put it to a vote, with Kol wanting to gut him since he only saw him as a dessert. Klaus had the deciding vote to let him live. The servant, Lucien, brought them into the castle and instructed them on how to properly behave themselves, brushing Kol's hair out of his face, to which Kol threatened to pull his arms off if he touched him again. After almost being discovered, the count welcomed them into his court.

Later that year, Kol began feasting on the local villagers indiscriminately, prompting them to believe they were being attacked by demons. Lucien warned Klaus that if Kol continued to give in to his decadence, the Mikaelsons wouldn't be able to stay much longer. Unknown to them, one of Kol's victims had survived the attack and told the count's son, Tristan, that it had been Kol who attacked her, though he had the face of a beast. Tristan revealed to Klaus and Elijah that Kol's behavior had given away their ruse. Kol's behavior, along with Klaus and Lucien's as well as the turning of Aurora and Lucien, contributed to the Mikaelsons fleeing from France. After they fled France, Kol, along with his four siblings settled in Tuscany, Italy.

Italy
Throughout this time, Kol was in eastern Europe, presumably making the Originals famous with his actions along with Klaus; killing and turning people indiscriminately. Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah had heard rumors of his actions from their own travels, as mentioned by Elijah. Kol would later join his family in Italy where he went to a party held at a vampire hunter named Alexander's home. He was later daggered in a surprise attack but revived by his brother Klaus (who was unaffected by the daggers thanks to his Hybrid powers).

Kol spent much time traveling on his own, often with witches, hoping to reclaim a connection to the magic that he had lost when he became a vampire. He spent time with witches in Africa in the 14th century, Haiti in the 17th century. During his time in Africa, Kol learned about medicinal herbs and remedies from a shaman in Uganda. All the witches he traveled with told apocalyptic tales about the immortal Silas, and how he would bring about the end of time. In his travels, Kol came across a cult that worshiped Silas. Fearing that the stories he had been told might be true, Kol murdered the entire cult, prompting him to believe Silas would never rise. While in Arabia, Kol learned the practice of Kemiya, and became an expert in its craft, despite not being able to personally use it as a vampire.

In 1702, Kol's violence in Spain drew too much attention. This brought his father, Mikael, straight to the family, burning the country in his wake. While the flames drew closer and Mikael beheaded Klaus' horse, Elijah and Klaus searched for Kol while Rebekah brought the daggered Finn on board a ship to flee from Europe. They found Kol in a tavern where he drank and feasted on humans carelessly. Despite their warnings of Mikael's impending arrival, Kol refused to flee, believing Mikael was only after Klaus and that they could just leave him and he'd be fine. When Klaus and Elijah insisted, Kol attempted to resist them but was subdued by Elijah, as Klaus pulled out a White Oak Ash Dagger. Kol struggled, panicked by the betrayal, and promised Klaus that a day would come when he would not be so easily subdued. He was then daggered and neutralized. Kol remained daggered when the family fled Europe and traveled to the New World. Kol was actually neutralized at the time of the Original's arrival in New Orleans. The coffin that held his daggered body was brought to shore and kept in the Original's home until the 1800s.

New Orleans
In 1821, after Elijah seemed to be taking Klaus' own young ward, Marcellus Gerard, under his wing, Klaus felt he needed someone to have fun with. He undaggered Kol against Elijah's wishes. Elijah rushed to Kol's coffin to find him awakened and already feeding without discretion on humans that Klaus had offered to him as an apology for daggering him. Kol and Klaus began causing trouble together, killing what was reported to be forty-six people in a building. Kol mused that the body count was probably at least sixty, saying that the reports had probably forgotten the victims in the attic. Later, Kol showed Marcellus the theater by compelling a large number of people to perform Hamlet. By using compulsion, Kol ensured that all of the murders within the story were actually enacted, resulting in the real deaths of the actors. Kol forced Marcellus to watch it until Elijah showed up to stop him.

Kol revealed that he was just training Marcellus on how to be a vampire since he knew that Klaus eventually wanted Marcellus to transition. Kol revealed that he had already fed the boy his blood, and so he told Elijah that all he had to do was kill him. Furious, Elijah grabbed Kol and condemned him for his vile and sadistic imagination. Klaus intervened, telling Elijah to let Kol go. When Kol thanked Klaus, his half-brother daggered him yet again. Elijah stood over Kol's coffin, tidying up his body while apologizing for his daggering. He said that it was for Klaus' own benefit since Klaus needed Marcellus and it would be impossible for that relationship to blossom with Kol around, due to Kol's tendency to lash out and his "bad influence" over Klaus.

New Orleans
Kol was undaggered again by Klaus in 1901 and lived in New Orleans with his siblings. Kol had a strong and deep relationship with the witches of New Orleans, and despite the rumors that he would use them and discard them, he actually held them in high regard. But, despite that, by 1914, a war began brewing between the witches of the city: some were allied with Kol, and others followed Klaus. Kol believed that if Klaus will have his way, all the witches would be wiped out and the city would be overrun with vampires. Seeking to ensure the safety of the future generations of witches, Kol and his witches planned to get rid of Klaus and his witch followers. Using his extensive knowledge of witchcraft, Kol taught his witches, Mary-Alice and Astrid, how to create dark objects using Kemiya, a type of magic he had learned in Arabia. Some of these objects include the Devil's Star, a rosary that would drive men to madness, shackles that would cut off a witches power and a bracelet that would force obedience. All of the dark objects were created so that Kol could utilize a form of magic without being a witch himself, and he planned to use them to scare Klaus and the witches that followed him. Kol hoped that Mary-Alice and Astrid would grow experienced enough to create a dagger that would be able to work on Klaus, hiding their secret endeavors in a tomb in the Lafayette Cemetery.

Despite their efforts, his witches were unable to turn the silver dagger into gold so it would work on Klaus. Kol's impatience and desperation to dagger Klaus caused a rift between him and his followers. Kol revealed his brutal nature when he slaughtered half a church parish, despite the fact that his goal was only to kill one woman. He had reasoned that if she were dead, he would be able to enter her home to find a large paragon diamond that they could use to channel more magic. Kol and his witch allies managed to break into the dead witch's house and find the diamond. However, when Kol left, he was confronted by Klaus and Marcel. Klaus forced Kol to hand over the paragon diamond. Klaus then had one of his witches trap Mary-Alice and Astrid inside the mansion forever, much to Kol's dismay.

Sometime around this point, Kol crossed paths with his older sister Freya Mikaelson, though he wasn't aware of her true identity. Freya befriended with him in hopes of being able to get a glimpse of all her siblings, and it can be presumed that Kol intended to befriend her so that she might help him to create the dagger that would work on Klaus. Shortly after, at his family's Christmas party of December 1914, Kol stepped out of the party to search for the paragon diamond in Klaus's room, still intent on going through with his plan. However, Rebekah caught him rummaging through Klaus' things. Kol told her about his plan to create a dagger that would work on Klaus, and Rebekah agreed to help him, telling him to get back to the party before his absence was noticed. It was then revealed that Kol had attended the party with his sister Freya, where she crossed paths with Rebekah for the first time, and they shared a toast to each other from across the room. The evening was at first progressing in Kol's favor. However, Rebekah had lied to Kol and had already told Klaus of his plan and desire to reclaim the diamond. During a family speech, Klaus revealed that he knew about Kol's plan. Kol, knowing his plan had been squashed, fled up the stairs but was stopped by Elijah. Elijah held Kol down as Klaus daggered him, neutralizing him for another few decades.

When their father Mikael managed to track them down in 1919, the Original family fled, and Kol's body was kept with Klaus for almost 100 years until he was freed by Elijah waking up in Mystic Falls.

Powers and Abilities
Kol possesses all the standard powers and abilities of an Original Vampire. As an Original Vampire, Kol is stronger and faster than any non-Original vampires, he is one of the most powerful supernatural beings in the TVD/TO universe, with the exception that Klaus is stronger and faster due to his werewolf side. However his powers had never been seen to be used against his family until recently, before then only Elijah had been seen fighting with Klaus almost evenly and Rebekah has been easily subdued and she fears Klaus, Kol doesn't fear Klaus and is not afraid to get in a confrontation with him, as shown many times, it may be possible that he too can fight almost evenly with Klaus as Elijah does, he just hasn't shown it yet. He was also able to kill twelve vampires single-handedly and without getting injured, although the vampires he killed were newborn and didn't know how to use their powers effectively. Like his brothers, he was trained from a young age by his father Mikael who taught him how to fight with swords and bows, and how to protect himself. Although rarely seen, Kol was seen to be able to match the speed and strength of fellow Original Vampire Finn Mikaelson in an almost even fight over Davina Claire, he displayed greater fighting skills than his brother which would be logical considering that Finn spent most of his life "daggered" in a coffin while Kol experienced the world alongside his other siblings. Kol has recently shown that he is capable of fighting almost evenly with Klaus, being able to trade punches, grapple, and counter fairly well, however, unlike his brother Elijah, Kol was unable to reach a stalemate as Klaus showed greater skill as well as strength and ultimately defeated Kol and held him at dagger point.
 * Original Vampire
 * Witch

Kol has lost all his Original Vampire powers and abilities, due to taking over the body of Kaleb and taking all of Kaleb's witchcraft powers abilities as his own. Esther intentionally put Kol into a weaker witch's body to keep him under control and not allow him to utilize all of his magical knowledge. It is yet unknown how powerful Kol was as a witch in his own body, but it was said he was considered a "child prodigy".

Kol has been shown to know how to use and control Kaleb's magic, although it is possible that this is influenced by Kol's amassed knowledge of magic. He is first shown to use his powers to prank people telekinetically making a table of apples fall and using aerokinesis powers to blow a woman's dress up.

It is unknown how powerful Kol is as a witch, having only been shown to use magic while possessing Kaleb and only having the extent of Kaleb's abilities at his disposal though he says he was quite gifted with magic in his true body before becoming a vampire. While in Kaleb's body he was able to perform spells but was shown to be far weaker than Finn while he inhabited Vincent Griffith. Kol tended to try and channel power through others such as Davina Claire and the paragon diamond. While channeling the power from the paragon diamond, his power was briefly amplified enough to be able to keep Klaus at bay for a few moments, though causing a great deal of stress to Kaleb's body.

Kol is also the mastermind behind the creation of almost all known Dark Objects from the The Originals Universe, such as the Rosary of Madness, The Bracelet of Obedience and The Devil's Star, Mary-Alice Claire being his apprentice along with her close friend Astrid. He has revealed to Davina that he has the ability to create a dark objective dagger that can neutralize Klaus like the silver ones do the other original vampires. Klaus has since enlisted his help to fight in order to save Rebekah and Camille from the Body Jumping Spell.

Weaknesses
Kol has the typical weaknesses of an Original Vampire.
 * Original Vampire
 * Witch

Kol had lost all his Original Vampire weaknesses, due to him taking over the body of Kaleb and took all of Kaleb's human/witch weaknesses.

Kol later switches loyalties over to Klaus and Elijah. Klaus and Kol have been seen getting along at time since then and fighting at others. They seem to banter often and in good fun.

Rebekah Mikaelson

 * "Kol, listen to me. You don't have long. You're going to die. But you will die a witch, and we will consecrate your body. You will join the Ancestors of the French Quarter and those spirits can be brought back. And I promise you, brother, I will not leave this body until I find a way to bring you home."
 * —Rebekah to Kol.

Rebekah is Kol's younger sister, his partner in crime, and the only younger sibling after Henrik's death. They are the younger Mikaelson siblings and love doing evil together. Kol is the only member of the family who has, even though on personal differences, takes the side of Rebekah, as he has protected her from Klaus. Also, Kol dislikes her lovers. The same way seems of all the Mikaelson Siblings Rebekah knows Kol pretty well, she knows about his favorite holidays, and can usually tell when he's lying or telling the truth. When they are together on screen, Kol is her partner in crime and helped her whenever she needed him. Which she seemed to have taken advantage of, as she tends to use him a lot, getting upset if he doesn't do things the way she wants. She has rarely been seen interacting with him unless she got something out of it. He helped her gain information from Shane about the cure until he found out that it involved Silas. Kol refused to have a part in it and wanted everyone to stop looking for the cure. Then Rebekah tried to dagger Kol and threaten him, they both looked terribly upset, but obviously, her attempt angered Kol and he almost killed her, but Klaus saved her. Later on, he is killed by Jeremy and Elena. Rebekah mourns the loss of her brother briefly but still wants to find the cure. When Kol returns from The Other Side, he is not happy to see her as she did not get revenge for his death, which strains their relationship. When Kol possessed the body of Kaleb, and he finally saw Rebekah, they were really happy to see each other, even if it were on different sides. Rebekah said his name and told that she knew that smirk anywhere. Rebekah and Kol seem really close because no matter what they still love each other. Kol truly cares about her and protect her. After Rebekah escaped the Witch Mansion she forgave Kol, but Kol did not feel guilty, because he taught his younger sister a lesson for her betrayal. Rebekah confessed that she likes Kol's soft side and then he promised her that he will get her back to her body even if it's the last thing he would do, and Rebekah said that she is not going to let him die, whatever it takes. She wanted to help him, but there was nothing she could do. She promised Kol that she would not leave the witch body until she brought him back from the New Orleans Ancestors. He died in her arms. Later, when Rebekah became possible to go back to her body, she refused because she has vowed to return Kol to life and she intends to keep the promise to bring back her brother. In spite of everything, as well as her promise, Rebekah returned to her original body and helped Elijah replace Kol's ashes, thus leaving him dead. Rebekah however, said she doesn't want to do this, and she wants to get Kol back to her, and after Freya healed the body of Eva, Rebekah returned to it and went from New Orleans to find a way to bring him back. She eventually found the proper spell, but her siblings told her to return to New Orleans due to danger and said Kol would have to wait. She was the only one who put Kol first and went to find the spell, but was incapacitated by Aya with a cursed stake and wasn't able to resurrect him. When Elijah pulled it out, they realized that she was cursed. To stop her condition from getting worse and fulfill the family part of the prophecy, she asked him to dagger her. Later on, Davina succeeded in bringing back Kol and when he went to his family he asked about her whereabouts, and Freya told him that Rebekah kept her promise and fought for him. They're currently traveling together until they are forced to separate due to housing pieces of the Hollow's soul in their bodies.

 * —Elijah to Kol


 * Main article: Elijah and Kol

Elijah is Kol's older brother. Elijah and Kol's relationship has not been greatly explored, but Elijah was upset that Kol had been left in a coffin for over a century because of Klaus. He undaggered Kol, against Klaus' wishes, reuniting all of his siblings. Elijah and Kol did not have much interaction in the present day, but Kol later expressed his sadness that Elijah would not show his face, citing his bickering with Klaus and Rebekah as the reason. It is unknown what Elijah's reaction to Kol's death was when he found out, but he refused to allow Klaus to aid Silas in dropping the veil, even knowing that it would bring back both Kol and Finn. it was revealed that Elijah had helped Klaus dagger Kol all known times; once in Spain in 1702 when Kol drew the attention of Mikael with his antics and refused to flee with his siblings, again in 1821, when Kol grew too wild and threatened both Klaus' relationship with Marcel, and Marcel's human life. And finally in 1914 when Kol tried to build a dagger that would work on Klaus. Elijah became aware that Kol was alive when informed by Finn, but he didn't first really interact with Kol until much later. Despite expressing discontent with some of Kol's actions, and being perfectly willing to torture him at times, Elijah rushed to his side along with Klaus and Rebekah when he found out that their brother was dying. Elijah remained by his side until Kol has succumbed to the hex. Elijah and Kol were reunited more than a year later. Glad to see each other and making fun together as they work to help their brother.

After many failed attempts, Davina was finally able to bring Kol back to life after the spell Davina used to unlink Klaus from his sireline created a Nexus Vorti, which she could channel for power such as when she resurrected Mikael when Hope's birth created one, and the two of them were thrilled to be reunited. They consummated their relationship  Davina tragically dies, leaving Kol devastated. However, the Hollow resurrects Davina to try and use her as leverage against Kol.
