Niklaus Mikaelson (a.k.a. Nik or Klaus) is an Original Hybrid, and the son of an unnamed werewolf and Esther. He has six half-siblings: a deceased unnamed older half-brother, four other half-brothers named Elijah, Fin, Kol and Henrik, and a younger half-sister named Rebekah. Klaus is also the step-son of Mikael, with whom he had a strained relationship before the latter got killed.
He is first mentioned in a conversation between Rose and Stephan when she warns him about the Originals. She tells him that Klaus is believed to be the most hated and feared of all the Originals and those who fear him are desperate for his approval. Over the centuries, Klaus has become a recluse who confides in and trusts only the few members of his inner circle.
For over a thousand years, Klaus had been trying to break a curse placed on him. He created the myth of the sun and moon curse in order to find the moonshine and the Petrova Doppelgänger, both of which were needed to break the actual curse. His goal was to liberate his werewolf side so he could sire his own super race of vampire-werewolf hybrids.
In 1492, he finally got his chance to break his curse when he met Katherine Petrova, the final piece necessary to break the curse. However, Katerina managed to foil his plan to use her in the sacrifice by turning into a vampire. For the next 500 years, Klaus searched for a way to break the curse without the doppelgänger, forcing generations of witches and warlocks to help him. During his search for a way to break the curse, Klaus hunted down his family and neutralized them. He also hunted Katherine Petrova, who had escaped him and stolen his moonstone.
Klaus is also the first undead creature in the world known to have impregnated a woman.

Silas was a warlock who became the first immortal being in the world. According to him, he was responsible for creating and casting the first immortality spell on himself.
He is the most powerful immortal, and overall one of the most powerful supernatural beings in the series' universe (it is unclear whether he is more powerful than Qetsiyah).
How Silas actually looks is unknown, he uses other peoples faces for his own selfish desires and needs. Currently, he is running around with Klaus' face. Silas is a member and distant relative of The Salvator Family.
