Stefan Salvatore (1847- , Vampire Diaries)
Stefan Salvatore (1847- , Vampire Diaries)
Born on 5 November 1847, Stefan Salvatore, portrayed by Paul Wesley since the pilot, is the series' male protagonist. Stefan Salvatore was born in Mystic Falls. Both he and his brother, Damon, fell in love with the same girl, Katherine Pierce, a vampire. In 1864, Stefan was turned into a vampire after being shot by his father with Katherine's blood in his system, before unwillingly killing his father. Damon, who was turned into a vampire as well, promised Stefan an eternity of misery as he was angry that Katherine had also turned Stefan. Stefan was unable to resist human blood and became addicted, killing many people until he was taught to control it by a vampire named Lexi Branson, who later became his best friend. After decades of absence, Stefan returned to Mystic Falls after he saved Elena Gilbert from a car crash and noticed that she looked exactly like Katherine. Stefan and Elena begin a relationship and he reveals to her that he is a vampire. However, Damon returns to Mystic Falls, too, and he also falls in love with Elena. Further on in the series, Damon and Stefan start to bond as brothers again and it becomes apparent that they do love each other. Because of his addiction to human blood, Stefan only drank animal blood in the beginning of the series, which made him weaker than other vampires. In season two Stefan starts to take small amounts of Elena's blood each day to mitigate its effect on him and to increase his strength. When Katherine returns it is discovered that she has always been in love with Stefan and not with Damon; however, Stefan is in love with Elena and not interested in Katherine. Stefan starts to build a friendship with Caroline Forbes after she is turned into a vampire. After Klaus gives Stefan his blood to save Damon from his werewolf bite, he turns Stefan into a ripper again and Stefan starts working for him as he agreed to do, in hopes of protecting Elena by making sure Klaus never returns to Mystic Falls, as he believes her to be dead. Klaus later finds out and compels Stefan to kill her, but when he is able to resist the compulsion, Klaus makes him turn his humanity and all his emotions off. However, he is later able to get his humanity back, which is seen when he saves Klaus's life to protect Damon. He then takes it upon himself to kill Klaus. He steals Klaus's family as retaliation, and uses it as blackmail, when that fails (The witches give Klaus the coffins when he threatens to end the Bennett line) he threatens to drive Elena off Wickery Bridge with vampire blood in her system if Klaus doesn't get his hybrids out of town, Klaus agrees right as Stefan's about to drive Elena off the bridge. He and Elena get into a fight, Stefan claiming Klaus took everything from him, Elena retorts, you had me! Which Stefan replies, "I lost you the second I left town with him, you just haven't let yourself admit it yet." In the season three finale, he kisses Elena, saying "just in case there is no later" in the end, Elena chooses Stefan over Damon, but when Rebekah causes Matt's (who kidnapped Elena in an attempt to get her away from all the vampires) truck to drive off Wickery Bridge. Stefan, who barely gets there in time tries to save Elena, but Elena makes him save Matt. Thus, Elena drowned. Though it is later revealed Dr. Fell gave Elena vampire blood, meaning she died with vampire blood in her system.
