Malicious, vindictive and out for number one — these are just a few prominent personality traits of the female vampire named Katerina Petrova. She was born mid-year 1473 in south-eastern Europe Bulgaria and at the tender age of sixteen, the young girl conceived and had a child out of wedlock. Tarnishing the family name she was forced to give the baby girl up for adoption shortly after delivery by her father. Disgraced by their daughter Katerina was disowned by her family and exiled to England. It was there she caught the eye and affections of a nobleman, Elijah Mikaelson and the attention of his brother Niklaus. It was not until later on that Katerina learned of why Niklaus truly desired her and that she was a Petrova Doppelganger, her blood and life sacrifice was needed to break the binding curse placed on the original hybrid, one that bound his werewolf side, forcing it to remain dormant. Fearing for her life Katerina ran with the moonstone and found refuge with another vampire named Rose-Marie. Katerina, who was exceedingly good at manipulating people, even in her human form tricked Rose into feeding her vampire blood before hanging herself and completing the transformation into a vampire herself. No longer human Katerina believed that she was free from the hybrid, however, Niklaus was furious and swore to repay the newly turned vampires betrayal.  Forced into hiding Katerina ran for over two centuries before eventually settling in Galway Ireland. 1720 she met a young man named Liam in a Tavern, rebellious and arrogant he captivated her completely and in return, she offered to transform him into an immortal monster.

Taking on the aliases Katherine Pierce and Angelus the savage pair travelled Europe and earned themselves notoriety in being two of the most vicious vampires recorded in history. During their stint in England Katherine met William, a pitiful excuse for a man and struggling poet, critically mocked by his peers for his bloody awful poems, though William had seemingly nothing to offer the bewitching vampire, she could not pass up the opportunity or challenge of transforming him into a ferocious creature—despite the protests of her elder prodigy. Together the trio ripped their way through the small English town, William earning the respect of Angelus and seemingly the affections of his sire due to his newly found despicable nature. The fanged three were unstoppable, however towards the turn of the century they made the foolish mistake of capturing and murdering a favored daughter of the Kalderash clan who responded by cursing Angelus with a soul. As punishment Katherine and William {Spike} slaughtered the clan’s encampment killing every Kalderash, or so she thought before parting ways with her ensouled companion and Spike whom no longer proved to be of any use to her.

Over the following century, Katherine befriends a Bennett witch Emily and an elder vampire known as Pearl. In the late 19th Century they moved to West Virginia, to a small town known as Mystic Falls, there is where she meets the handsome Stefan and Damon Salvatore while they hosted her at their large family estate. In a short period of time, Katherine’s affections grew for both the men and they, in turn, loved her despite knowing her true nature. Over the months that followed Katherine secretly fed both Salvatore brothers her blood, intending on turning them and spending eternity with them, thus repeating the history she had with her old partners in crime. However, the town council, a mixture of wise men and hunters learned of the vampire population in town and scuppers her plans. Poisoning the vampires with a herb known as vervain they captured each of them, including Katherine. While trying to save the woman they loved from death, Damon and Stefan were shot, killed by their own father while her blood was still in their system. In true Katherine Pierce form, she managed to escape with the aid of another man she had been compelling, George Lockwood, faking her death she fled the town, leaving everyone to believe she was trapped in a mythical tomb under Fells church.
