Jeremy Gilbert (RotOS)

"Despite everything you have said Stefan, I find that I enjoy being a Vampire and its worth being an Original, as an Original you're Emotional Switch is actually a nob that you turn. An Original can have fun while retaining some of their Humanity, and let me tell you, its a great feeling!"

- Jeremy to Stefan on the Originals' Emotional control.

Jeremy, commonly known as Jeremy Gilbert, is the newest Original Vampire created in the the Season Two Episode "As I Lay Dying" in the Rebirth of the Originals Series. Jeremy has taken a rather positive run on being a Vampire let alone an Original. His Mate via the Soulmate Principle is actually confirmed to be Klaus and the Hybrid accepts this fact. Currently, Jeremy is travelling around with Klaus and intends to complete their goals regardless of whom get in their way even if they were his family or friends.

Personality and traits
Jeremy's personality has shifted due to his becoming an Original Vampire and despite the words of people that are against Klaus he seems not to care about their opinions. Jeremy's mind scape upon learning that as Klaus' Mate he would never be alone that he has entered a state of "this is where I belong" mindset, interestingly familial words spent by Elena and insults from Damon have been seen to "bounce off him" while he tells Stefan that an Original Vampire's "Emotional Switch" has a larger variation of control. Jeremy has also been shown now as Vindictive and cruel when needed to be, he has beaten up Damon for insulting Klaus and at one point he even threatened "tear off" Bonnie's head should she raise a Magical hand against Klaus, she also tells Elena that if Klaus dies then he will kill everyone she knows and then kill her.

Physical Appearance
Jeremy is a youth with black-brown hair and brown eyes, he is lightly tanned and almost pale, he wears modern day clothes and this sometimes includes a hoodie.

 * Sunlight - Sunlight will burn an original's flesh the instant it is exposed to sun rays, its unknown if complete exposure for a lengthy time will kill them because of their rapid healing.
 * Uninvited Invitation - In order to enter any house owned by human/s, they had to be invited by that person. Once invited the vampire cannot be uninvited.
