History:
Elijah is one of the Originals, a family comprised of the oldest and most powerful vampires. The Originals are believed to be the first vampires to inhabit Earth, and their true ages are a carefully guarded secret. As an Original, many of the commonly accepted defenses against vampires do not work on Elijah. Damon Salvatore drove a massive stake through him and only succeeded in pissing him off. Vervain burns him but only for a moment. It is unknown if sunlight can harm him, because he does wear a lapis lazuli ring.
The details of Elijah's past are largely unknown. In the 1200s he fell in love with the then mortal Gianna Cortez and had intended to Turn her. It was in fact Elijah’s blood in Gianna’s system that granted her immortality when she was turned into a vampire-killing weapon by her own people in 1251. He is older than her by centuries, which puts his origins around the turn of the first millennium.
After Gianna was changed by her people, it became obvious that the biggest threat she would ever face was Klaus. If he learned of her existence, an Immortal whose blood was poisonous to vampires, he would have her killed without a second thought. To keep her safe Elijah has tried to keep his distance over the years, but like a moth to a flame he is inexorably drawn to her.
Elijah has been a confidant and subordinate of his brother Klaus for many centuries, since Klaus's unique status of a vampire-werewolf hybrid makes him the strongest of all of the Originals. He has filled many roles for Klaus over the centuries, including those of assassin, executioner, mercenary and soldier.
For many reasons of his own, Elijah now wants Klaus dead.
I know that I'm only one step away...
