— Klaus to Esther in Do Not Go Gentle
Niklaus Mikaelson (a.k.a. Nik or Klaus) is an Original/Hybrid, and the son of an unnamed
werewolf and Esther. He has six siblings that consists of five half-brothers and one half-sister.
A deceased unnamed older brother, four other half-brothers named Elijah, Finn, Kol, and
Henrik. And a younger half-sister named Rebekah. Klaus is also the step-son of Mikael, with
whom he had a strained relationship with.
He is first mentioned in an conversation between Rose and Stefan warning him about the
Originals. Klaus is believed to be the most hated and feared of all the Originals and those who
fear him are desperate for his approval. Over the centuries Klaus has become a recluse who
confides in and trusts only the members of his inner circle.
For over a thousand years Klaus has been trying to a break a curse that bound him to a
moonstone. He created the myth of the sun and moon curse in order to help find the
moonstone and the Petrova Doppelgänger that was needed to break the actual curse. His goal
was to bring out his werewolf side so he could sire his own super race.
In 1492, he finally got his chance to break his curse when he met Katerina Petrova, the final
piece for the ritual. He kept her entertained until the full moon, but was unaware that she
found out what he was and what he wanted from her, causing Katherine to escape from him.
After Katerina turned into a vampire he assumed that her family line ended with her and that
his chance to break his curse was forever gone, Klaus traveled to Bulgaria and slaughtered her
entire family in revenge.
For the next 500 years, Klaus was searching for a way to break the curse without the
doppelgänger and had forced generations of witches and warlocks to help him for centuries.
Along his search for a way to break his curse, Klaus hunted down his family and neutralized
them. Also he was searching for Katerina Petrova, who escaped him and stole his moonstone.
He is the main antagonist of Season 2 making his first appearance in Know Thy Enemy, in
Alaric's body.
Niklaus is a member of the Mikaelson Family.

History
Niklaus during the middle ages
Klaus was born to Esther and a unknown man, in a small village that would eventually
become known as Mystic Falls. Klaus has six half-siblings and a step-father named Mikael,
who was a wealthy landowner who moved with Esther to the New World when their home
village was devastated by a plague. Klaus was close to his family with the exception of
Mikael, this was because Klaus was not his son and from a different bloodline.
Many years before his mother had an affair with a man from a different species. When his
brother Henrik was killed by a werewolf, Esther performed a ritual which transformed Klaus,
his siblings and his step father into

class="thumbimage" />Esther and Niklaus looks at Henrik's body
vampires. When he made his first human kill, his werewolf gene was activated, thus
informing Mikael of Esther's unfaithfulness. Mikael then hunted down and killed Klaus' father
and his entire family, not realizing that he was igniting a war between vampires and
werewolves that has been perpetuated across the ages. Soon after becoming a vampire and
discovering his werewolf bloodline, a curse was placed on Klaus by Esther, forcing his
werewolf side to lie dormant and then abandoned him. In retaliation, Klaus murdered his
mother, and framed Mikael for the act.

how he plans on killing vampires for their own self preservation and because Rebekah loved
him. However when he was invited to a party at Alexander's home along with his sibling they
got daggered however Klaus being a hybrid was not affected and he killed all of the five

Isobel Flemming, a vampire working for Katerina Petrova who now went by the name
Katherine Pierce, who also happened to be the mother of the second Petrova doppelgänger,
was trying to find Klaus and ultimately succeeded by getting close to a member of his inner
circle. Klaus found out what she was up to and compelled her to tell him what she knew.
When he learned that she was working for Katherine and that the rumors about a
doppelganger in Mystic Falls were true, he decided to use her in a plan to capture Katherine
and the Moonstone.
Along with Klaus's trusted warlock, Maddox, Isobel made Katherine believe that Klaus was
willing to pardon her if she delivered the Moonstone and the doppelganger to him. While
Katherine found the Moonstone, Isobel helped Maddox capture her former husband, Alaric
Saltzman. Katherine and Isobel then captured Elena at which point Isobel revealed her true
colors and Maddox captured Katherine. He then ordered her to let Elena go since Klaus didn't
need her yet. Maddox then transferred Klaus's spirit into Alaric's body so that he could spy on
Elena and her friends.
In The Last Dance, Klaus interrogated Katherine for information about Elena and her friends
and learned that a witch Bonnie Bennett could be a danger to him so he decided to kill her.
Still pretending to be Alaric he attacked her at the 60's decade dance by compelling several
students. Finally cornering Bonnie, he forced her to use all her power and die. He didn't
realize that she had faked her death to protect herself and Elena.
In Klaus, he has Maddox, and his other minions, including Greta, bring his original body to
him so that he can return to it. While they are doing so, he sets up a contingency plan by
threatening Jenna's life. As Stefan stops him from killing Jenna, Klaus tells him that it would
be easy for him to take his revenge if Elena tries to stop him from breaking the curse. At the
same time, Elena learns from Elijah the real nature of the curse and why Klaus wanted to
break it. He was then released from Alaric's body and returned to his own by Maddox and
Greta.

asks if he can postpone the ritual, but Klaus says he has everything and the ritual will happen.
He warns him not to screw it up if he wants to live. Klaus returns to Alaric's apartment and is
immediately suspicious of Katherine. He compels her to tell him what she has been doing but,
as she is taking vervain, she is able to lie.
He is still suspicious and 'compels' her to take off her bracelet, walk to the window and stand
in the sunlight. Katherine has to do it and screams. Eventually Klaus believes she is
compelled and says she needs to do something for him. When the full moon begins to emerge
Stefan and Elena arrive home but are confronted by Klaus, who tells Stefan that he had him
all nervous and thought he had done something stupid. Klaus asks if Elena is ready. Stefan put
his arm in front of Elena and says "No". Klaus tells him there is no reason for him to die, and
he and Elena leave for the ritual.
Klaus returns to Alaric's apartment and tells Katherine that Elena is with Greta. The door
flings open and Damon tells Klaus to postpone the ritual, explaining that he rescued the
werewolf and vampire and killed Maddox. Klaus tells him that he knew either Damon or
Stefan would try to stop him and reveals that he always has a back-up plan. He shows Damon
on a webcam that he has captured Jules. Damon asks if he has a back-up vampire and Klaus
says he has got it covered, before darkness falls on Damon. Katherine wakes Damon up and
tells him that Klaus has gone to begin the ritual. She admits that she had to do something so
Klaus wouldn't realize she was on vervain, and reveals that Klaus made her call Jenna, to lure
her out explaining that he needed another vampire because Damon's blood was impure due to
his werewolf bite.

In The End of the Affair, Klaus and Stefan are shown to have arrived in Chicago, where Klaus
plans to meet "his favorite witch", Gloria, to find out why he can't make any new Hybrids.
Stefan finds a picture of them together at the bar, and Klaus reveals they knew each other, that
they had been friends back in the 1920s and that Klaus was Stefan's "number one fan", as he
liked Stefan's ways of torturing others before killing them. He had erased his memories to
protect themselves, as they were running from a yet unknown person. Gloria tells them that
she needs Rebekah, as she has something Gloria needs. Klaus resurrects his sister, but she
does not have her necklace, which can be used to contact the Original Witch.
In Disturbing Behavior, Klaus is still using Gloria to try and find the necklace used in
contacting the Original Witch. Klaus later finds out that Stefan was asking about Mikael, the
person that he was maybe running from in the 1920s. Klaus seems angered by this and knocks
Stefan out then takes him back to Mystic falls to find out why he is still holding on to his
former life.
At the beginning of The Reckoning, Klaus corners Elena, asking her why she is still alive. He
takes her by the arm and leads her to the gym, chasing away the other students by telling them
they're busted for pranking. Elena tells Klaus not to hurt anyone, but he argues that he has to.
Rebekah drags Tyler's body into the gym, and they wait till Bonnie arrives, where Klaus tells
her she has to find a way that he can successfully create hybrids.

compelled to stay there. To make a game of everything, Klaus puts a clock on it: Bonnie has
to find a way for him to create hybrids, or else Stefan must kill Elena.

After Stefan tried to fight the compulsion, Klaus yet again compelled him, this time with a
stronger force to turn his humanity off, finally getting Stefan to obey. Presumably, Stefan
attacked Elena, but somehow Klaus must have stopped him, as he figured out himself how to

Klaus's compulsion when he is forced to tell the truth. Rebekah, who has learned that Klaus
had killed her mother, confirmed what they had said in an attempt to lure him back to Mystic
Falls. Klaus says that he will be on his way. Klaus has Tyler throw a party to celebrate
Mikael's death.
After seeing who he thinks is Elena, he reveals that his hybrids are present, and they have
orders to kill Damon if Klaus is killed. The party goes well, until one of his hybrids say that a
guest named Mikael is waiting for him. Visibly angered, he goes to meet his step-father.
Klaus attempts to have his hybrids attack Mikael, but Mikael reveals that while they are sired
to Klaus, they are part vampire and can therefore be compelled by Mikael. Mikael reveals that
he had one of the hybrids grab 'Elena' and threatened to kill her if Klaus didn't come outside
of the Lockwood house.
Klaus tries to call Mikael's bluff, but Mikael stabs her. To everyone's shock, it wasn't Elena at
all, but Katherine, who throws wolfsbane grenades at the hybrids and runs. Damon then
appears and attacks Klaus with the white oak stake. However, Stefan interrupts the battle,
pulling Damon off of Klaus. Klaus grabs the stake and drives it through Mikael's heart, killing
him and destroying the stake in the process.

class="thumbimage" />Klaus in Bringing Out The Dead
In Bringing Out The Dead, Elijah attacks Klaus for having locked him in the coffin but Klaus
overpowers him and, having pulled the dagger out of their brother Kol, threatens to use it on
him. Elijah retorts that he would have to deal with Kol then. Klaus resigns himself to that fact
and tells Elijah that Mikael was dead. Surprised to hear of his father's death, Elijah asks why
their family remains in the coffins. Klaus asks Elijah to help him to get the fourth coffin back
from Stefan by reminding him of the oath that they had sworn to one another: 'always and
forever'. Elijah then organizes a dinner between Klaus and Stefan with Damon present. The
deal offered by the brothers is that, in exchange for the coffin, Klaus will leave Mystic Falls
forever, a deal that Elijah deems to be fair.
Klaus later counters with his own offer: Elena's future happiness with a human husband (Matt
Donovan) in exchange for the coffin; this would keep her safe from what he deemed to be
feuding between the Salvatore brothers and would ensure the continuity of the Petrova
bloodline so that he could keep creating hybrids. Stefan refuses the deal. Klaus then grabs him
and burns his hand in the flames while Elijah prevents Damon from intervening. Klaus tells
Damon to bring him the coffin or he will kill Stefan. Damon complies and Klaus sends Elijah
with him. However, Elijah and Damon returns after wards not with the coffin but with the
daggers that Elijah had removed from their siblings.
Elijah claims to have learned not to trust Klaus's promises and declares that this while be done
on his terms. Kol then appears followed by Finn who stabs Klaus in the hand after he tries to
seize the dagger. As Klaus tries to run, Rebekah appears and stabs him for 'their mother'.
Klaus stumbles back and is caught by Kol. Elijah dismisses Damon and Stefan, claiming that
it was 'family business.' Esther then appears and tells the originals to stop fighting. She tells
Klaus to look at her and asks if he knows why she is here. When Klaus suggests that she is
probably there to kill him, she says she is there to forgive him, and that she wants them all to
be a family again.
In Dangerous Liaisons, Esther organizes a ball to celebrate the reunion of their family and
asks Klaus who he is going to bring to the ball, stating it's going to be a magical evening. So
Klaus sent an invitation and a ball dress as a present to Caroline with a note to dance with
him. She appears wearing the dress and the bracelet he left in her room on her birthday. She
later dances the waltz with him, asking her how she is after Bill died. He makes a

They are later seen outside, standing next to a horse. Klaus states that he had a horse but it got
killed by Mikael. He also stated that the relationship with his father was really complex as
Caroline's was with Bill. She then goes inside because she likes people too. They then go
inside the house where Klaus reveals that he likes drawing, having drawn many people and
also a landscape which is now hanging in the house. He asks if she has been somewhere and
that he could take anywhere she wants. Caroline then says it must be good if he gets
everything he wants. She thinks that's the reason

he creates hybrids and wants him to give Tyler his life back. She also states that he compels
people, he sires hybrids or buys affections to make friends and she is not the girl he can buy
off. Angered, she leaves and Klaus is alone.
In All My Children, he is with Kol in the house. Rebekah comes home from her one night
stand while Klaus is drawing pictures (presumably of Caroline). Kol states he's bored so he
and Nik go outside. They head to the Grill where they meet Alaric and Meredith Fell. As a
distraction, planned by Damon, Caroline enters the pub but isn't pleased to see Klaus. He
follows her outside, wanting to talk about her. She sits down and talks with him. After Kol got
neutralized, Klaus feels something and immediately recognizes something must have
happened, getting angry at Caroline because he suspected her.

He rushes to Kol, pulls the dagger out and threatens to kill the Salvatore's, but is stopped by
Elijah. Together with Kol and Elijah he goes to the Witch Burial Ground. He orders her to end
this and he'll send her back to hell. She responds she hated it to see how he shed blood. After
she left with Finn, Klaus is seen burning the pictures he draw of Caroline. Rebekah enters,
stating she hated him as she found out that he killed Esther, but Klaus is the only one who has
never left her. She then delivers shocking news. Klaus learns that a sapling of the White Oak
Tree has been planted 300 years after they left the Old World.
In The Murder of One, Klaus and Rebekah join forces to get Finn on their side by reuniting
him with Sage. He then gets Bonnie to undo Esther's linking spell. He first tries to bribe
Bonnie by offering to reunite her with her mother, but when Bonnie refuses, he instead
threatens to kill Jeremy. Klaus watches as Rebekah tortures Damon, but they stop when
Stefan comes by and offers to trade his White Oak Stakes for Damon's freedom. Klaus then
learns that there are more White Oak Stakes and that one of them was used to kill Finn.
In Heart of Darkness, Klaus tires to get the last remaining White Oak Stake, and sends Kol to
stop Damon and Elena from learning of their bloodline origin. He gets impatient and
eventually kills Alaric, but soon enough, he sends Rebekah to retrieve it, not knowing that
Rebekah is possessed by Esther.

In Do Not Go Gentle, Esther while possessing Rebekah convinces Klaus to go the 1920s
dance by telling him that Caroline will be there. In the dance Klaus sees Caroline and Tyler
dancing and he interrupts them by asking Tyler where he's been. He then asks Caroline to
dance in which she at first rejects him but then Tyler says it's alright for her to dance with
him. Klaus shares a dance with Caroline and tells her how she would of loved the 1920s and
that he will be leaving Mystic Falls that night. When Rebekah is absent from the dance,
Stefan informs Klaus that Esther is back. After Esther is killed, Klaus states angrily that
Esther will never be able to stop him and that he will continue to live.

In Before Sunset, Klaus is informed by Rebekah that Alaric survived, and that the white oak
stake has no effect on him. Rebekah wishes to leave, but Klaus states that he will not leave
without Elena, causing Rebekah to get angry and state that she won't care even if he does die,
before leaving. Klaus then goes to Elena's house to collect her, however Stefan and Damon
bar his way. He begins attacking the house from the outside, trying to force them to invite him
in, but the manage to repel him. Just as he is about to cause the place to explode, Stefan
comes out and says that Alaric has captured both Elena and Caroline and will only give them
up if Klaus hands himself over. Klaus initially refuse, but Bonnie comes up with a plan that
will allow them to actually succeed. He then agrees, but makes it clear that after this he is
taking Elena and leaving. He waits in front of the school-where Alaric has Caroline and
Elena-with Stefan and the two talk, Klaus trying to drive a wedge between the brothers again.
When Stefan states that all of Klaus' attempts to break the Salvatore brothers apart has only
made their bond stronger, Klaus counters by asking what will happen when Elena finally
chooses between them. Then, Bonnie, Damon and Jeremy show up. Bonnie gives the
vampires a vile of her blood, saying that once they drink it, all they have to do is make a
connection with Alaric's heart, and she will use her magic to stop it, effectively neutralized
him. After drinking the blood, Klaus enters the school with the Salvatores.
He comes across Caroline and grabs her, keeping her quiet and telling her that she will be
fine, and that she

must get home as soon as possible, she thanks him then runs. Stefan and Damon restrain
Alaric, and Klaus plunges his fingers into his heart, but Alaric manages to get free, break
Stefan and Damon's necks and nearly drove his white oak stake through Klaus' heart.
Ironically, Elena saved Klaus by threatening to kill herself, deducing that Esther bound
Alaric's life to hers so that he could only live one life time. As she prepared to follow through
with her threat Alaric went to stop her, freeing Klaus, who then ran off with her.
He then began draining Elena of all her blood, that way gaining enough blood to at least have
some hybrids, while also killing off the greatest threat to him. When Elena asks why he is
killing her, as he won't have an unlimited army anymore, he states that he doesn't need one as
he has his family back. Elena counters saying that they will never truly trust him again, and
that he is wants a back up family, which is why he is draining her blood instead of simply
snapping her neck. Later, Tyler shows up and tries to free her, but Klaus finds him before he
can get Elena out of the house.

He asks how Tyler broke the sire bond, and Klaus states that that is impossible, Tyler
countering by saying that true love is more important than sire bond induced loyalty. Klaus
states that Tyler should be thanking him as he saved Tyler from the misery of life as a
werewolf, but Tyler says that Klaus doesn't give a crap about him, he only wanted to not be
alone. Klaus then prepares to kill him, but Stefan and Damon arrive. Tyler and Damon
restrain Klaus, while Stefan plunges his hand into Klaus' chest, and Bonnie begins her spell
again. Klaus looks at Stefan with a mixture of sadness and shock as his life fades away. He is
then completely desiccated , and his dead body falls to the floor. Everyone then holds a
victory party, and Stefan and Damon later drive off with the purpose of disposing of Klaus'
corpse.
In The Departed, Damon stores Klaus's coffin in a warehouse outside of Mystic Falls. Bonnie
arrives at the warehouse, and Damon tells her that he hid Klaus's coffin in compartment 1020,
saying that compartment 666 would be too obvious (666 is the Devil's number, with Damon
indicating that Klaus is the Devil). Bonnie and Damon enter the compartment, and open
Klaus's coffin. Klaus wakes up from his sleep, but is still in a dessicated state. Bonnie then
asks Damon to give her a moment alone with Klaus, saying that she wants to appreciate the
sight of him like this. After Damon leaves, Bonnie tells him that he should burn in hell.

body bursts into flames
However, she knows that if he dies, so does her mother and friends, and she questions him
what she is supposed to do about that. Off-screen, Bonnie saves Klaus from Alaric by
performing a spell that transferred his spirit into Tyler Lockwood's body and possibly
preserve his physical form. Later, Alaric shows up at the warehouse, catching Damon off
guard. He demands to know Klaus's location, and Damon tells him that he stored in one of the
compartments. Rebekah later shows up to retrieve Klaus's coffin. Rebekah and Damon try to
sneak Klaus out of the warehouse, but are caught by Alaric. Alaric slams Rebekah against the
car and tosses her aside. Damon tries to stop Alaric from opening Klaus's coffin, but fails.
Alaric does so, and brandishing the White Oak Stake, plunges the weapon into Klaus's heart.
Klaus gasps in pain and bursts into flames, Rebekah screaming in horror. Damon gives
Rebekah time to escape Alaric.
Afterward you see Bonnie talking to Tyler and realize she put a spell on him to transition his
"soul" in with Tyler. He tells her that she did the spell brilliantly and he didn't think she had it
in her as she tells him she did it to protect her friends and her mother.

m that their agreement was for him to jump into another body, however Klaus learning that
his body is still intact, he wants her to put him back in his body. Bonnie tells him she can't
right away as she has to use her magic to attempt to bring Elena back to life. Klaus informs
her that Elena is no longer his concern, but is convinced to let Bonnie try to save Elena in
order to keep the bloodline alive. While waiting, Mrs. Lockwood calls on Tyler's phone and
informs Klaus of Caroline being taken. He rescues Caroline, but leaves Rebekah, to "keep
them busy" calling her little sister, revealing that he is really Klaus.

After escaping Caroline is happy to see that Tyler is still alive and the two begin making out,
however Klaus calls her "love" which leads Caroline to realize that it is really Klaus. They
find Bonnie to complete the spell and while she originally refuses to use the dark magic
needed, Klaus begins ripping Tyler's heart out forcing Bonnie to do the spell. Later that night,
now back in his body, he returns to their home to get the last of Elena's blood, where Rebekah
arrives upset that he saved Caroline, but not her. Rebekah upset over his betray and her
realization that he will always choose his hybrids over her, destroys the blood bag. He grabs
her and tells her that they are no longer family, he snaps her neck and leaves her on the floor

willing to let one of the few hybrids he has left die. He later meets Hayley, a werewolf who
helped Tyler overcome his sire-bond, and discovers that Tyler has been keeping things from
Caroline and plans to use them to destroy there relationship. He joins Damon in the trapping
and interrogation of Connor Jordan, where he discovers that Connor is part of a mysterious
group of vampire hunters known as the Five. He then saves Connor from the explosion and

While a untriggered, Klaus had a complicated life, he was close with his brothers Elijah and
Henrik, and his sister Rebekah, whom he affectionately called Beka. However, he had a
strained relationship with his father, Mikael, who was harder on him than on any of his
siblings. Klaus even admitted to Rebekah that Mikael frightened him which made him
constantly seek his approval without ever finding it. His mother, Esther, often tried to calm
Mikael when he became angry with Klaus but she never tried to stop him from humiliating
her son. This led him to resent both his parents and possibly to be jealous of his siblings for
having their approval.
Original/Hybrid
Personality wise, Klaus is described as sadistic, careless, paranoid, impulsive, emotional,
quick-tempered, volatile, manipulative, jealous, obsessive and competitive. Klaus has little to
no regard for human life in general, the polar opposite of his half brother, Elijah, who lives by
a moral compass, has compassion and regard for human life and shows ability to feel guilt and
remorse for his actions. Despite his negative traits, he has shown to be very protective of his
half sister, Rebekah, who stayed by his side for centuries. Unbeknownst to any, Klaus was not
the son of Mikael, but of a werewolf in another village which made Klaus both aggressive and
angry. When they became vampires, all these emotions were heightened and Klaus's temper
became worse than ever. Years of humiliation at Mikael's hands and Esther's supposed
indifference, coupled with her rejection of him as her son, led Klaus to kill his own mother in
revenge. After this, Klaus shut off his humanity to any but his family, killing any who crossed
his path. Vengeful and power-hungry, he will stop at nothing to achieve his ends and remove
those who stand in his way. However, Klaus does not believe that death is a punishment as
seen when he denies Katherine death, instead keeping her alive so that she will suffer for
having betrayed him. He will also place usefulness before pleasure and keeps people alive
when it suits his needs. He has also shown a penchant for working with witches which was
mentioned by Katherine in Know Thy Enemy. Klaus also has a sense of honor and will not go
back on his word although, like his brother Elijah, he will always look for loopholes in the
deals he makes. He has also shown a sadistic side notably when he deals with humans or
vampires who have crossed him, such as Elena, Damon and Katherine. However, Klaus's
hunger for power actually hides a deep fear of being alone which must stem from his father's
treatment of him. He wants the hybrids so that he will not be the sole member of his race as
Esther intended when she placed the curse on him. He also desires, beyond anything else, to
be reunited with friends and family as shown by his desire to have Stefan, his one-time friend,
and his family back at his side. He has shown to have a softer side when he is around
Caroline. Caroline brings out Klaus humanity.


Dream Manipulation - Vampires can control dreams and subconscious. The
vampires can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares or lucid dreaming.
Other effects of this ability is the distortion of reality and trapped in the dreams.
Emotional Control - Vampires have a limited degree of control over their own
emotions, allowing them to switch off their humanity to make killing easier.
Hybrid Powers

Hybrid Sire Bond - Hybrids are obligated to serve Klaus because his blood created
them and have limited free will, along with lack of control.

Werewolf Bite - A bite which is fatal to vampires, bites take effect quicker than a
normal werewolf bite.

Werewolf Bite Blood Cure - Only Klaus’ blood is capable of healing a vampire from
the bites of a hybrid or werewolf.

height="85" class="thumbimage" />Klaus lycanthrope features without transforming

Lycanthrope Enhancement - As seen with Klaus when he bit Katherine, a hybrid is
capable of showing its wolf-eyes when displaying its abilities.

Lie Detection - Can sense if someone is lying or not.

Day Walking - Are able to move around during the day.
Weaknesses



White Oak Stake - The only physical weapon that can permanently kill Klaus, It
comes from an Ancient White Oak tree during the time of the genesis of The
Originals. It was at first thought that the stake used to kill Mikael was the last white
oak wood in existence, but it was soon discovered by Rebekah and Klaus that there
was a Sapling of the original tree to replace the old.
Uninvited Invitation - In order to enter any house owned by humans, they had to be
invited by that person. Once invited the vampire cannot be uninvited. If a vampire
lives in a house, other vampires can enter freely and if vampire is in the house without
being invited in it will become disoriented and will begin to suffocate.
Esther - Klaus mentions in Bringing Out The Dead that Esther can kill him. Her
knowledge of the spell that created vampires and thus ability to reverse it could be the
deciding factor in this.


Magic - As a supernatural entity Klaus can be harmed or killed by a witch/warlock
that can channel enough power. Considering his level of power however this would
likely be very difficult to achieve.
Dessication - Like any vampire lack of blood will immobilize Klaus. This process can
be artificially induced by a witch through the use of a dark magic spell which stops a
human's heart and having other people make and hold a blood connection to Klaus.
