Damon Salvatore[/c] is the hero, a protagonist, and one the male leads of The Vampire Diaries. He was the main antagonist in Season One. He is the elder brother of Stefan Salvatore. He was born in the 1800s and lived in the colonial town of Mystic Falls with his brother Stefan and his father, Giuseppe Salvatore. He became a vampire in 1864. At the time of his return to Mystic Falls, Damon and Stefan hadn't seen each other in fifteen years due to their bitter, violent relationship.

Damon’s sole purpose for coming back to Mystic Falls was to free Katherine Pierce, the vampire who turned him and the woman he loved. After realizing that Katherine never loved him, Damon started working with Stefan and Katherine’s descendant and doppelgänger, Elena Gilbert, with whom he fell in love with and is now in romantic relationship with her. Damon is also the head of the Town Council, along with Sheriff Forbes and Carol Lockwood. He currently lives with his new girlfriend, Elena Gilbert in the Salvatore Boarding House since his brother Stefan moved out. For the majority of the first season, Damon was the main antagonist, but during the later seasons, he cooperates with Stefan to protect Elena as he has a change of heart, literally.
Damon[/c] appears to be in his mid-20s, has light blue eyes and dark brown hair that goes to just below his earlobes, and is styled in a casual disarray style. He's pale and has a good physique, toned and fit, and he knows it; he has a big ego. Damon usually wears darker clothing: black boots under dark jeans, a black shirt, whether just a t-shirt or button up depends on the occasion, and is rarely seen without his leather jacket. In other words, Damon is beyond sexy.
Some of these powers are more potent when the vampire gets older and feeds on human blood.
Super Strength - Vampires are much stronger than humans and grow stronger with time. Even new vampires who are still in transition can toss a fully grown human across a room with great speed and force. Their strength is also more powerful then werewolves that are not in wolf form.
Super Speed - Vampires can accelerate their movements to cover short distances in an instant, faster than the human eye can see. When running across long distances, they appear as vibrating blurs of motion.
Emotional Control - Like all vampires, Damon has the ability to switch off his humanity.
Dream Manipulation - Vampires can control dreams and subconscious. The vampires can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares or lucid dreaming. Other effects of this ability is the distortion of reality and trapped in the dreams.
Heightened Senses - They can hear whispered conversations, even ones in far off buildings, smell blood, and see in total darkness.
Mind Compulsion - Vampires have the ability to control minds, plague people's dreams, and alter/erase human memories.
Immortality - A vampire stops aging once turned. Upon their transformation, vampires then on become immune to all conventional illness, disease, virus and infection. The only known disease or infection that can kill a vampire is a werewolf bite.
Healing Factor - Vampires can snap their finger bones back into place after being broken and have been seen to fully recover from gunshots, stab wounds, and torso impalement.
Lapis Lazuli - He possesses a Lapis Lazuli ring that enables him to walk in daylight without being harmed.
Vampire Sire Bond - Elena Gilbert, one of the vampires he turned with his blood, is sired to him.
Former Powers and Abilities
Powers used by Damon in early episodes that were later written out by the directors.

Weather Manipulation- In the early episodes of Season 1, Damon was able to create fogs and change the weather. This power was later discared because it was considered "too supernatural"
Compelling Animals- Also in the early episodes of Season 1, Damon was able compel a crow to spy on Elena and Stefan. He later killed the crow by feeding on it, and hasn't used this power since.
