The CW full-length supernatural series The vampire diaries It was home to many fantastic villains over the years, but it seems fair to say that Klaus Mikaelson may have been the best of them. This super dangerous Original hybrid made quite an impression as soon as he arrived on the scene, becoming such a popular character that he and the rest of the Original family earned their own spin-off.
For most of his tenure in TVD, Klaus was a total monster. But, at times, he also showed flashes of humanity and kindness. So when was he at his most villainous and when did he almost seem heroic?
10 He proved he was the villain: kill Mrs. Lockwood
Although Tyler Lockwood was initially on Team Klaus due to his father bond, when he decided to resist Klaus’ slavery, he really did his best. Not only did he de-beget himself, but he helped all hybrids destroy their own parental ties.
Unsurprisingly, Klaus didn’t take very well with it, so as revenge, he brutally killed Tyler’s mother, proving that no matter how much it may have seemed like he’d gone soft, he was still the bad guy inside. .
9 He was really the hero: saving Caroline
Klaus had no affection for almost everyone he met in his incredibly long life, but Caroline Forbes was one of the few who really piqued his interest.
So when he heard that Pastor Young and the Council had abducted her, he did not hesitate to come to her rescue, even though she currently occupies the much more fragile and easily killed body of Tyler Lockwood.
8 He proved he was the villain: killing the hybrids
Klaus is an extremely empowered person who thinks that everyone around him should be in his service, and he took that right to the greatest extreme when it came to creating his hybrid army.
While any rational person would understand why these people wouldn’t want to be his literal slaves, when he found out that they had all broken their fatherly ties and were planning to rise up against them, he brutally slaughtered them all.
7 He was actually the hero: don’t kill Tyler
Klaus may only have had eyes for Caroline, but his gaze was constantly directed towards another person for most of Klaus’s tenure in The vampire diaries.
And, while simply not killing someone wouldn’t be particularly heroic under normal circumstances, given that Klaus never lets go of a grudge, it was actually huge that he decided to let go of his need for revenge and let Tyler live for Caroline’s sake.
6 He proved he was the villain: tormenting Elena
Since Klaus actually killed Elena in his ritual sacrifice, it seems that simply torturing her wouldn’t be that bad in comparison. However, it really points to how sadistic Klaus could be.
Elena already had to face the fact that the most dangerous person on the planet was going to murder her, so the fact that Klaus went so far out of his way to mess with her head, both before and after the ritual, was overkill.
5 He was actually the hero: curing Damon’s werewolf bite
In theory, Klaus was getting something he wanted by saving Damon, as it was part of the arrangement for Stefan to accompany him on his werewolf hunt.
However, Klaus could have forced Stefan to do what he wanted or threatened him to submit in another way. And, given how much Klaus cares about his own siblings deep down, it’s not hard to believe that Klaus used Damon’s werewolf bite as a lever, but he also saved Damon because he didn’t want Stefan to lose his brother.
4 He proved he was the villain: Dagger to his brothers
There is clearly a pattern with Klaus, and many of his most evil behaviors seem to stem from his paralyzing sense of loneliness and rejection.
But that explanation does not excuse it. And, even though his brothers, or at least Rebekah and Elijah, really love him, he can’t seem to stop betraying them. While he never killed his brothers or sister, the fact that he stole decades or even centuries of their lives and held them prisoner was exceptionally cruel.
3 He really was the hero: saving Elena from the hunter’s curse
Maybe Klaus only saved Elena because he felt that she could still be useful to him, or maybe he did it because he knew what it was like to suffer from the hunter’s curse, but the fact is that either way, he really tried to do it. . save her from the curse.
Stefan and Damon stepped in and made the situation worse, but Klaus tried to protect Elena from herself.
two He proved he was the villain: hunting Katherine
Klaus seems to constantly operate under the illusion that anyone who isn’t willing to fall for a literal sword for him is betraying him in some way, and there is no better example of that than Katherine.
She became a vampire to avoid becoming his sacrifice, and for this transgression, Klaus persecuted and tormented her for five centuries, without letting her know a moment of peace, all because he was afraid of dying.
one He was actually the hero: taking on Alaric to help Caroline and Elena
Clearly, Klaus Mikaelson never does anything unless there is something for him, and clearly, when Esther turned Alaric into an indestructible vampire hunter, it was a problem Klaus would have to deal with anyway.
But, to help Caroline (and on a lesser level, Elena as well), Klaus actually willingly faced someone who posed a legitimate threat to him, which was a very rare moment of true bravery for him.
