[ WOLFGANG NOVOGRATZ, CIS MALE , HE/HIM ] hey, isn’t that KOL MIKAELSON ? you know, that 24 / 1000+ year old ORIGINAL VAMPIRE. i’ve heard they are UNEMPLOYED, which means they must know what’s going on in this town, right ? anyways, i’ve heard they’re looking to GET UNDAGGERED AND WREAK HAVOC in beacon falls. don’t tell anyone, but they’re AWARE of the supernatural. you can’t miss them — they’ll remind you of BLOODY HANDS LIGHTING A CIGARETTE, AN IMMENSE SENSE OF LONGING FOR SOMETHING YOU ALREADY HAVE, NEVER BEING GOOD ENOUGH, RUNNING SO LONG YOU FORGET WHAT IT MEANS TO SETTLE DOWN, FEELING AS EMPTY AND HOLLOW INSIDE AS YOUR COFFIN.     

welcome to my feeble attempt to apply approximately seven seasons of mediocre characterization and justification into current kol, because nothing after season 3 is real anyway. we out here speeding up the process.

as a human:  wild, excitable, mama’s boy.  always striving to make his father proud.  the only of his siblings to truly tap into his magic, he was enthralled by esther’s abilities.  reveled in the power that being a witch gave him.  closest in both age and relationship to klaus and rebekah, the three of them essentially popped out one after the other.  looked up to elijah, even if they had little in common.  and even a thousand years ago, found finn to be an impossible stick in the mud.  he aspired to be a role model for henrik, like klaus and elijah were for him.  RIP henrik.  kol missed out on the tatia hype because he was chasing after a young warrior in their village.  keeping it on brand for an entire millennium.

the Big Bang™:  immediately disdainful of his newfound bloodlust when he realized he lost his magic.  discovered that violence and pain was as close as he would find to a replacement for the power he so desperately craved.

vampirism heightens emotions, and it was evident.  free-willed.  disobedient.  wild.  dark.  abandonment.  jealousy.  fear.  shame.  a fire blazing beyond control, the only solution is to let it burn itself out.  

literally as clever as the devil and twice as pretty, idk what else to tell you.

over the next 800 or so years he traveled the world.  when it was convenient he joined his siblings, and when their precious always and forever became too much to bear, he left.  outrunning mikael, learning about magic from witches of all cultures, getting daggered by klaus.  little mikaelson things.

in the 13th century, he was ordained by a monk.  if you need someone to officiate your wedding, he’s your guy!

over time, he learned how to and taught witches to create dark objects so he could essentially perform magic without actually having any magic.  catch him going on a grand video game quest to find these because they’re probably scattered around beacon falls

he hated marcellus, he hated that his siblings cared more for this newcomer than they cared for him.  too blinded by his rage to reflect on what part he might have played in that.

his violent, gory, sadistic antics were no more than a desperate cry for attention to his brothers and sister.  by the 1800s, blood and suffering was all he knew.

christmas, 1914.  bitter are the wars between brothers.  the one he once thought himself closest to became his greatest adversary.  kol wanted to neutralize his brother, retaliation for countless daggerings over the centuries, but he trusted too much for his own good.  rebekah, his own sister, ratted him out to klaus, and into the box kol went one final time.  his strategic mind got the better of him, and now he was paying the price:  a hundred year nap

SEASON ONE.

daggered!

SEASON TWO.

daggered 2:  still daggered!

SEASON THREE.

the bitch is back.

perhaps it’s a survival tactic learned from his prior daggered returns, but kol adapts to the modern world shockingly quickly.  

he learns that secrecy is a thousand times harder now.  but it’s subtlety, or back in the coffin he goes.

kol wants to be better, though.  his time in the box taught him a lesson.  and he longs to be a part of always and forever.

at least, that’s what he tells his siblings.  how much is true and how much is manipulation is beyond even kol.  after all, some men want to watch the world burn.

what matters now is that he’s alive.  and hearing how much power is contained within beacon falls, he’s sure that he can find a way to restore his magic.

plot wise????  idk he’s probably just.  helping klaus out of a skewed sense of loyalty, subtly plotting his own revenge, and generally just fucking about.
