Different: Age and Power. Klaus, as an original vampire and a hybrid, is much older and more powerful than Damon. Klaus sired many vampires, and he is Damon's vampire ancestor. Klaus' power is proven when Damon is bitten, and his hybrid blood saves Damon.
While Klaus was the Mikaelson that was shown to have the biggest hold on the lives of the others, he was actually their half-sibling, a product of their mother's infidelity. He was also the middle sibling — Freya, Finn, and Elijah were older than him, while Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik were younger.
Background. Damon Salvatore is a vampire, turned by Katherine Pierce 145 years prior to the series' debut. He is the son of late Giuseppe Salvatore, ripper Lily Salvatore and older brother of Stefan Salvatore.
Damon was a 178-year-old vampire and distant descendant of Silas. Since his younger brother, Stefan Salvatore, injected him with the Cure, he is now human. He was a major antagonist in the first part of Season One.
From his strength to senses to healing powers and even telepathic abilities, Klaus was more superior to his siblings since he had both vampire and werewolf genes in him.
The story of Sekhmet, the Egyptian feline warrior goddess associated with both plague and healing, is considered by some to be one of the oldest vampire tales. Legend holds that the sun god, Ra, sent his daughter Sekhmet down to punish humankind for their disobedience.
Klaus Mikaelson
However, once he became the only Original Hybrid in the world, Klaus' combined strengths turned him into the greatest supernatural creature in the entire TVD universe. It's interesting that he is both a villain and hero in this series.
Freya Mikaelson - Freya was Mikael and Esther's first born child, and the oldest sister of Finn, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah and Henrik, and the half-sister of Niklaus. It was said that the oldest Original sibling had died in the Old World (specifically Norway) because of the plague.
Mikael is the eldest as he turned first! Rebekah was the first to change out off all the original siblings!
Ok, one thing that has been picking at my brain for a while is the age gap between the brothers. Now as we all know, Damon is older than Stefan by 7 years. They were 25 and 17 respectively, when they both died and became vampires.
In "The Vampire Diaries," lead Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) was 17 at the start of the series, while vampire brothers Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) were 162 and 169 years old, respectively (as the show explains within the first season).
Always thought the opposite.. Owkay, I'm going through the 7th season and weelllll I just need to talk about it all.
And yes, the show later confirmed that Damon and Elena have multiple children - Jenna, Sarah Lillian and a son, Grayson. Hold us. Hey girl!
Elijah Mikaelson is the second-oldest of the Original vampire brothers (and the third-born child of Mikael and Esther).
Olympia Elisabet Nikole Mikaelson is a siphoner-vampire-werewolf mortal tribrid. She is the only biological child and the younger daughter of the original vampire, Elijah Mikaelson and the original immortal tribrid, Dianna Mikaelsson. She is the adoptive younger sister of Saga Mikaelssen.
Damon was the first main character to become an Augustine vampire. This is most likely because his character suited the effects of the Ripper Compound. Augustine vampires are somewhat similar to one of the Original vampires, Mikael. Like Mikael, they feed on vampires.
Henrik Mikaelson: Henrik was the last and seventh born child of Mikael and Esther, the younger brother of Freya, Finn, Elijah, Kol and Rebekah and the younger half-brother of Niklaus. Henrik was the youngest sibling and child of the Original family.
Even though Klaus will go down as one of the most powerful vampires in television history, there are plenty of TV vampires from other TV shows (and some from his own) that are stronger than the Original Vampire. Hope Mikaelson ended up being one of the most powerful supernatural beings in the Tvd universe.
Lucien as the first Vampire ever sired. But since he's dead, it's Aurora. Yeah Lucien was the very first non-Original Vampire turned, meaning after all the Originals he was the strongest Vampire in existence.
The writers usually spell out things that important “originals grow stronger with age”, but they never did because originals are already the strongest they could ever be. Only modifications enhances them. The spell just made them more resilient and able to compel their progeny, it didnt put them at peak.
Klaus may be physically a bit stronger, but Elijah is more powerful. Vampirism enhances the human. Since Elijah was faster, stronger, etc, than Klaus as a human, so it is after their transition tho Vampires.
Niklaus Mikaelson
The most dangerous of the family and also possibly the Big Good of the protagonist villains of the Originals. Klaus is a sadistic person who has always wanted one thing - power. He is a werewolf-vampire hybrid, making him the most powerful supernatural being in the vampire universe.
Niklaus Mikaelson is also commonly known as Klaus. He is an Original Vampire and an Original Hybrid (Vampire + Werewolf). Klaus is known as one of the most dreaded and merciless Villain of the series.
Bonnie: When She Took Down Klaus
In the season 2 episode “The Last Dance”, Bonnie proves that no one is stronger than her. After Alaric is possessed by Klaus, Bonnie channels all her magic to defeat him. She further defeats Klaus in season 2 episode 22.
