Damon and Stefan in 1864, while they were still human.
Damon was born to Giuseppe Salvatore and an unnamed mother on June 28th, 1840 in the small town of Mystic Falls, Virginia. His younger brother Stefan Salvatore
is six years younger than him, and the two were very close. He joined
the Confederate Army at some point, coming back when he was on leave to
spend time at the Salvatore Estate. It is unclear when Damon first met Katherine Pierce,
but he left the Confederacy and returned to Mystic Falls to spend more
time with her. His father disapproved of what he considered Damon's poor
sense of duty.
Damon in 1864
It is uncertain how or when Damon found out that Katherine was a
vampire, but unlike Stefan he did not fear or reject her, and willingly
drank her blood. She once demonstrated to him one of her tricks for
securing victims: lying in the middle of a road to stop any travelers
that may come to pass. Though he showed an initial hesitance, Damon even
kissed her while a victim's blood still stained her lips.
Damon wanted to give up his human life and spend an eternity with
Katherine, and he begged Stefan to keep the secret from their father,
who was a member of the Town Council
and a vampire-hater. When Stefan inadvertently revealed that Katherine
was a vampire, she was taken away by the townspeople. Their father was
furious and scolded Damon for trying to conceal her secret and protect
her. Damon was furious with Stefan, but Stefan agreed to work with him
to rescue her. In the midst of their daring plan, they were both shot
and killed by Giuseppe, who was ashamed of his sons for sympathizing
with and loving a vampire. They both died with Katherine's blood in
their systems, but Damon awakened first and witnessed the burning of Fell's Church, where the townspeople had imprisoned the vampires, including Katherine.
Damon awakens after dying.
When Stefan awoke the next morning, Damon told him that Katherine's
death meant his reason for living was gone, and he wouldn't complete his
transition into a vampire. Later that day, when Stefan returned after
being unable to resist feeding on his own father, and inadvertently
completing the transition, he forced Damon to drink from a young woman's
neck, causing Damon to also complete his transition. He promised Stefan
an eternity of misery, not for making him turn but for the fact that
Katherine had turned Stefan as well, instead of just Damon. At some
point Damon received a daylight ring from Emily Bennett.
She told Damon that she had spared the vampires in the church, which
Damon kept secret from Stefan until 145 years later, when he would be
able to free Katherine from the church.
1912
Damon and Stefan in 1912Damon saw Stefan in 1912 for the first time since they transitioned; both had returned to Mystic Falls for their nephew's
funeral. After an initial hesitance, Damon agreed to have a drink with
Stefan and catch up. When he was feeding on a human alone, the vampire Sage
found him and commented on his lack of enjoyment for the feed. Damon
seemed content to feed just enough to survive, but Sage encouraged him
to enjoy it, to take pleasure in being a vampire. Once he was persuaded,
he tried to get Stefan to enjoy the feed, and talked him into feeding
on human blood again. Stefan fed so hard on his victim that he tore her
head off, shocking both brothers. Furious with Damon for making him
drink human blood, he ran off and Damon did not pursue him.
Charlotte
Damon was living in New Orleans with a vampire he had turned named Charlotte.
Damon soon noticed a pattern of strange behavior from the woman, in
that every order he gave her, even seemingly innocuous ones, she
followed with frightening enthusiasm. He sought guidance from the witch Valerie LaMarche to break the sire bond
between him and Charlotte, and the witch told him she needed a human
sacrifice of 12 people to do the spell. Damon killed the 12 people, but
could not find Val to perform the spell he needed. He ended up ordering
Charlotte to count every brick on every building in New Orleans and meet
him at the corner of Bourbon and Dumaine. He left New Orleans soon
after...
Damon and Stefan in the 1940's
Stefan and Lexi found
Damon while he was in New Orleans. At Lexi's insistence, Stefan sought
to make peace with his brother before shipping out to the North African
front of the war. After an initial hesitance, Damon seemed happy to
reunite with his brother after thirty years apart, and the two spent the
evening talking. Damon even suggested he might join Stefan and leave
for war with him, but Lexi made it clear she did not approve of the
idea. Her concerns seemed warranted especially after Charlotte brought a
bleeding victim to the bar where they were talking and Stefan started
to lose it at the sight and smell of human blood. Later, Damon was all
ready to ship out with Stefan when Lexi talked him out of it, citing his
profligate lifestyle and how Damon's behavior would not be good for
Stefan's rehabilitation. Realizing she might be right, Damon decided not
to go, and he left the train station without explaining to Stefan.
1953 - 1958
