Niklaus «Klaus» Mikaelson

The curse that plagued our family for seven years has taken its toll on all of us. On our city. On our home. On our family. The consequences of us being together were grave, but today, thanks to you, we celebrate a new beginning. One in which we have the freedom to stand side by side. And whatever trials may come, we will face them together, as a family. Always and forever.

I'm your father. I'm always gonna worry.

Hope, if violence is what you need to feel better… then you have the perfect father.

— You're not the one I want to hurt.
— Give me a name.

— Have you decided how you're going to kill him?
— Slowly.

All that power… still merciful. You clearly didn't get that from my side of the family.

— We believe in inclusive blending of the species here. So, outside of full moons, vampires, witches and werewolves all cohabitate peacefully.
— Where do you keep the hybrids? In the root cellar?

There's always another way. Somewhere, written in some forgotten language, in some city lost in lava, likely lies buried the secret to having everything I want all at once. But I'm not gonna find it today. And today is all I have.

You've helped me feel something that I never thought was possible. Unconditional love.
