Klaus offers him a deal to save Damon from a werewolf bite: he will become his right-hand man, leaving everything including Elena and Klaus will cure Damon. They overcame some of their differences when they tried to free Katherine from the tomb, but after they opened it, they discovered she wasn't there. Despite everything that's happened, they still care about each other deeply and are supportive of one another. On the show, Stefan is born in the nineteenth century period during the Civil War era in Mystic Falls, Virginia. In the meantime, however Katherine (who has appeared on the island without them knowing it) attacks Elena and steals her clothes. el_in_the6ix 2 yr. ago They start to talk about Elena and Damon relationship, and what they have to do with Markos, Stefan tell Damon that he will get Elena home safely but Damon want them both safe. A miss comes out of the sprinkling system as a woman with scabs and sores all over her face says "night, night" to them. Decades ago, Stefan's mother, asked Valerie to see how Stefan was doing after the mother's death, as a human. Quickly, he runs to the school bus and tries to get the door open. Downstairs, he and Damon argue about what to do next: Stefan wants to do everything they can to find a way out of Elena's transition, while Damon wants her to accept the inevitable, feed on human blood and not risk dying permanently. By that time however the Salvatore brothers have also find Katherine and Rebekah at the diner. In I Alone, Damon confesses to Stefan about what he did to Alaric. Stefan then asks if she has ever been to Portland and then he sees that Lexi has returned to the other side because the veil is back up. Caroline and Stefan are downstairs and Bonnie is gone because they made Matt take her away as they thought it would be best. When Stefan regains consciousness a second time, before Damon can make something Stefan attacks him, breaking his neck, Silas is kneeling in pain and Qetsiyah is worried about him because she thinks he's Stefan but Stefan arrives then where they are and reveals to Qetsiyah that she has been deceived, Stefan also regains his daylight ring. Stefan showed great strength when he fought the compulsion and told Elena to run. Sheriff Forbes has given them the name of the town where the original sister and Elena have went to find Katherine. Later on, Stefan, Damon and Tyler begin to desiccate Klaus' body with help from Bonnie. Damon turns down Stefan's offer to help, reminding him of their deal that whoever Elena didn't choose would leave town. He is invited to the party that Caroline and Elena are organizing but he refuses to go to the party. Katherine was the one who transformed both of the Salvatore brothers into vampires. In the meantime Klaus and Caroline find him. Sound logic you've got there. In Bringing Out The Dead, Stefan makes sure that the fourth coffin is safe and wants Bonnie and her mom to open it. He also wears a large, silver lapis lazuli daylight ring on the middle finger of his right hand in order for him to walk around in the sunlight. They arrive to Mystic Falls and on that moment the Travelers are doing their spell, suddenly, Liv is standing in the middle of the road, with her hand held out, Stefan scream to stop, Maria gasps and stomps down on the brake. - Stefan Salvatore "The real animal is still out there. She says that she hasn't, and that it is not magical writing. This is a special video for my. He was often seen wearing darker colors such as black, grey and dark blue, although sometimes he wears lighter colors. Stefan's personality was able to emerge more fully into itself without all of his guilt weighing him down, prompting to show sides of himself he would have had if he had never killed so many people as the Ripper or turned Damon into a vampire. Once inside, he opens all of the drawers and cupboards looking for food. However, despite Damon's feelings for Katherine, it seemed to be evident that the younger Salvatore was Katherine's preference as it was Stefan that she had asked to escort her to the Founders Ball. Later, in Stefan's bedroom, Elena finishes leaving a message for Caroline to ask for help adjusting as Stefan walks into the room with two glasses and a bottle of champagne. This is evident in Stefan when he very quickly and easily became infatuated and fell in love with Katherine Pierce, which is evidence of his youthfulness, naivety and simplicity as a regular teenage human. Nik is there because he needs a dagger in order to put Kol down, but Rebekah refuses to give her last one to him as she doesn't want to leave herself unprotected. Stefan killed an entire village and not to mention that an whole school had to close down in Chicago during his ripper binge in the '20s due to attendance so I assume it was Stefan with the highest (tho they usually occurred in huge surges) whereas Damon probably had the most consistent kill count across his vampire life. Stefan nods and begins to cry. He however sees that there's also something else-Elena has turned off her humanity and he asks why. That's probably why she stole the cure-she wants to bargain it for her freedom. Then, she's convinced that she sees an age spot on her hand, and Stefan tells her it isn't one and holds her hand. At school, Stefan and Elena endure harassment from Rebekah until Elena tries to retaliate: she throws a pencil forcefully at Rebekah, who catches it and throws it into Elena's chest. Even after Damon voices his opinion to Elena herself, Stefan and Elena leave for their camping trip as planned. Not long after, two of the Heretics take out two humans and leave their bodies on display hanging upside down. Then Stefan says that he knows they've been through some bad spots lately especially when it comes down to Elena but he just wanted Damon to know that he cares about him and that he loves him (even though the younger brother doesn't actually say it, that is what he implies) and Damon responds by saying that he knows that. Unable to control his bloodlust, he spent over 10 years slaughtering his way through North America - including a stint with Klaus and Rebekah in the 1920s - until Lexi pulled him back from the edge. Stefan responds by saying he's being himself, but she doesn't know what he looks like when he's not in love with her. Once he cleaned up, the family was surprised to find that Stefan looked like a perfect gentleman. Klaus wasn't affected by the daggers, so he killed all the hunters and found out why Rebekah trusted Alexander: the hunter had told there was a cure for vampirism. In The World Has Turned and Left Me Here, Stefan gets a call from Tripp, who updates Stefan on his torture of Enzo. Rebekah however knows what the Salvatore brother wants and she gives him the dagger herself. Stefan is last seen at Caroline's house, feeling sympathetic towards Damon, believing he will do the right thing. Stefan and Bonnie are talking on the phone about the death of Enzo and Caroline hears the conversation, she walks to Stefan and he hangs up on Bonnie. Klaus then asks how can they stop him and Stefan says that Silas has to complete the third massacre so that Bonnie could do the spell and if he's here that's what he's doing so they need to find him and stop him. He ask to Stefan about her but Stefan looks down at his feet. Stefan helps Katherine to discover what is happening to Matt and what are the intentions of Gregor, Nadia's boyfriend . While they argue Aja is just about to kill Bonnie when Caroline goes and stabs her with her own knife instead. Tyler tells Stefan that the hunter who shot him was clearly looking for vampires, and that his gloves were soaked in vervain. In the meantime Damon decides to use Qetsiyah's help so he could bring Bonnie back. Damon mocks him with Ms. Cuddles and, annoyed, Stefan grabs and kicks Bonnie's teddy bear across the field uncovering a cloaking spell which was hiding a house. Elena finally agrees to skip the rest of the school day and have fun, and leaves to go home and change. After the men leave, they go inside the shed to rescue Enzo, but he is not there. They are on their way to get more herbs to make more ointment. Stefan explains to Tyler and Caroline that the bullets were specially carved, and that if he were a normal vampire instead of a hybrid, he would be dead. One for Tyler. In Elena's room, the door opens once again. While Stefan was seen as a good guy because he refused to drink from humans, that was just a way of trying to stave off his ripper state, a strategy that only worked for so long. She then tries to find Jeremy and Stefan catches up with her, he is silent when Elena asks if he has been making Jeremy kill vampires. While Jeremy sketches the tattoo, Klaus finishes telling Stefan the story about the Five, and how they daggered all of the Original siblings. When Katherine is absent for a while he meets Caroline and tells her about his concerns about Damon and reveals that he doesn't want Elena to give up on Damon, because he is afraid that they might loose him without her help. Caroline is desperate to hear screaming Stefan and she begs to him to say something to her and finally he gives her Hazel's address and describes her. She is a witch from the Salvatore bloodline and a vampire, she gets her vampire side from both of her parents. Stefan begs her to stay alive for her sons, while Damon syringes her and locks her in their dungeon. In the meantime, however, Rebekah and Elena are already there and they understand that Katherine has compelled the whole town to be her friend and to keep her secret of where she has hidden the cure. As Stefan and Damon take off to put away Klaus' body they talk about Elena and Stefan mentions that if she chooses Damon he will go away and let them be happy. Now Stefan is continuing to teach Lily to drive and she asks if there is anything else Stefan would like to know. He tells Stefan he's no brother to Damon. She also told him about how Julian had found out, and how "He made sure it wasn't a problem anymore.". Stefan asks he what's wrong after she pushes him away, and they see that the veins in Elena's arms pulsate and look inflamed. In A Bird in a Gilded Cage, Stefan arrives home looking for weapons. He tells her he needs to get a charger and he walks into a store buying some supplies. Stefan admits he's hurt that Elena has not been truthful with him, and Elena defends herself by saying that she didn't want to ruin Stefan's good mood. Going by flashbacks, it is evident that Stefan was also Giuseppe's favorite son, and that Stefan had a rather close and good relationship with his father, the complete opposite of Damon, who appeared to have had a rather strained and tension-filled relationship with Giuseppe. Liv and Luke have Elena and Stefan cornered, Luke tells to Liv to kill Elena, all of a sudden, Stefan manages to break free, but Luke is unable to pin him back down. Julian ask what he is talking about and Stefan tells him that Maria is dead, Stefan tries to comfort Julian, but he recoils angry, Caroline tells him that It wasn't Stefan's fault, Stefan say that he wasn't the one that killed her. He now wants nothing more than to spend another day with her, and Caroline has that chance. Later, Stefan is sitting on a picnic table all alone, until Caroline comes to talk to him, he is very sad and tells to her that he lost them both, the two people he has known longest in this world, she ask to him if he is talking about Lexi and Stefan tell her that she never came out and that neither did Markos and that he know that's not a coincidence. He suggest they wait to talk just because she has a lot on today. He suggests they leave the party instead, and Elena finally hands over the stake. Katherine says that she doesn't want to, because she wants to see him. After they no longer hear Tyler, Stefan and Elena run into the lab after Bonnie's screams of help where they are stunned to find an unconscious April, Stefan feeds her his blood to heal her and forces Bonnie to get herself and April out of the school. He takes her hand and leads her to the gym, explaining that that is the place where he hit rock bottom. Stefan can be very wise and comforting to others and people can always depend on Stefan. Instead, she drove Stefan to the ground and turned out to be another, much older vampire by the name of Alexia Branson. As a vampire over 170 years old, this makes Stefan one of the oldest vampires shown throughout the series. Stefan seems excited by her invitation and when he goes to pick Elena up they exchange compliments. Stefan was charismatic, charming, passionate and deeply romantic and because of this, he is highly magnetic to and popular with the opposite sex. After she leaves them she meets Sheriff Forbes at the party and they have an argument which ends with Elena trying to feed on Liz until Caroline and Stefan stop her. As Stefan and Damon leave and walk in the woods Stefan says "I love her, Damon," and Damon says that he does as well. Finally, Matt suggests that Elena feed from him. She smirks at Elena, at least she knows how Stefan really feels before looking back to Stefan declaring his pain is her revenge. Rebekah points out that this will be difficult, as the tattoo is invisible, but Klaus has already solved this problem: Jeremy can see the tattoo, and Klaus has one of his minions bring Jeremy into the room. Stefan wants him to compel Ivy to pull it together and go live a normal life somewhere without him. They both question the man but are unable to figure out who he is and what he's doing there as he's compelled to kill himself, which he does by grabbing Rebekah's knife and stabbing himself. He tells her that she will, and they go into her memory/dream thing of coming home and finding her family dead.

She tells him about Nadia's been compelling Matt to forget things, and Caroline shows Stefan Matt's text message, calling for help with a K, she takes the phone back and they start talking about the strange behavior of Elena, Stefan tells her that Elena kissed him, they begin to realize all actions that Elena has been doing lately and then between the two realize that Katherine has actually possessed the body of Elena. Klaus needs important information regarding the hunter that only Rebekah would know, but she is still angry with Klaus. Klaus tells him that he is Elena's better option and says "Personally I think she is wasting her time with Damon." He then says he is upset about losing Elena to him, but when it's all over and if she never feels the same way about him, it'll be her choice. Later at the Salvatore house Damon is Elena at the cellar and she is breathing heavily Damon says that she looks terrible, Elena says that she's hungry not that Damon cares but he said that he cares and that's the whole point he cares and she doesn't and its time for it to change he gives her a blood bag, It turns out its laced with vervain and asks her if she's hurt because he betrayed her or scared because its only going to get a lot worse, she runs for the door but Stefan stopped her and says if they want to play and see who breaks her or them first and it ends with Stefan closing the door.
