PERSONALITY:

While he was still an un-triggered werewolf, Klaus had a complicated life. He was close with his half-sister Rebekah, whom he affectionately called "Bekah", and with his half-brothers Elijah and Henrik. Probably he also had a close relationship with the rest of his half-siblings; Finn and Kol. However, he had a bad relationship with his overbearing step-father Mikael who was harder on him than any of his siblings. He was a victim of his step-father's physical and verbal abuse since childhood. Klaus even admitted to Rebekah that Mikael frightened him which made him constantly seek his approval without ever finding it. His mother Esther often tried to calm Mikael when he became angry with Klaus, but she never tried to stop him from humiliating or from physically/mentally abusing her son. Also as an untriggered werewolf, Klaus had the aggressive behavior of one, but he could not act on it due to his mother making him wear a magical necklace, created to weaken his strength and thus leaving him vulnerable to Mikael's abuse. These following reasons led him to resent both his parents and possibly to be jealous of his siblings for having their approval. It had been remarked once by Elijah, that as a human, Klaus was so full of love and life, and that all he ever wanted was to be loved in return, especially by his step-father. This belief that no one loved him and that he was doomed to be alone forever was the main factor that changed Klaus's personality.

HISTORY:

Klaus is the son of Ansel and Esther Mikaelson and the step-son of Mikael. He is the maternal half-brother of Elijah Mikaelson, Rebekah Mikaelson, Kol Mikaelson and Finn Mikaelson, Henrik Mikaelson and Freya Mikaelson. Klaus is the father of Hope Mikaelson, the mother being Hayley Marshall. He is also the adopted father of Marcel Gerard.

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 moonstone 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 species of vampire-werewolf hybrids.

In 1492, he finally got the chance to break his curse when he met Katerina 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 to help him. During his search for a way to break the curse, Klaus hunted down his family and neutralized them. He also hunted Katerina, who had escaped him and stolen his moonstone. However, it should also be noted that he was also on the run from his step-father, Mikael, as Klaus had an abusive childhood.

Role Playing Sample:

Klaus had been in the library for a few moments when he'd heard his brother and Hayley begin to converse and though it was light at first it quickly became heavy and filled with notions of him. Standing from his armchair Klaus quickly found himself exiting the library and making his way towards the kitchen where the two were conversing and apparently making a late night pizza snack. His fists clenched tight and white for a moment as he rounded a corner and continued down a long hallway when he realized the conversation had stopped completely and the house was filled with an eerie silence. As he finally came upon the kitchen's open frame and floor plan he stopped dead in the threshold, both fists clenched completely and once again white hot, as he took in the sight before him. 

His voice was loud, booming, and filled with anger "What the hell do you think you two are doing!?" Disbelief filled Klaus as he continued, mockingly, "Leave it to the eldest brother to fall for the woman whom bears my own child. You just couldn't help yourself could you Elijah? You just had to jump at the chance to betray me. Funny how you're always talking about how I'm a backstabber and betraying family, yet when I am only looking out for my family and doing what must be done, you are the one who is betraying me!" his eyes penetrated both of their gazes, ferocity and anger filling him as he wanted to rip and tear them limb from limb.
