Damon Salvadore as portrayed by Ian Somerhalder
DESCRIPTION; Hair black with arco iris lights in it, like a crow's feathers, o 'like liquid, too soft and fine for human hair.' Eyes that are black, 'fathomless and full of strange lights' and which have a tendency to 'fill the universe.' He's middling-verging-on-short, and has 'dark beauty and grace and the sensuality that drew women to him like moths to a flame.' He tends to lounge in a way that should get him done for harassment but can take 'lithe stalking steps.' He usually wears all black, mirrored sunglasses and drives a black Ferrari with 'illegally tinted' windows. He has a 'very engaging' laugh and a 'charming' smile.
en general, general Comment; 'God, he was beautiful. Handsome was too weak and colorless a word.'
NATIONALITY; Italian. Florentine, to be precise.
AGE; Er, about 500. Looks about 20.
SPECIES; Vampire.
BELOVED; His first amor was fragile blond Katherine, but seeing as she's dead and they tried to kill each other beforehand , I think the engagement's off... He loved queenly blond Elena, but she wanted his brother, and then he seemed to be bonding with little redhaired Bonnie, but he walked off into the night.
FAMILY; A deceased and unnamed mother whom he loved very much. A presumably deceased father, Giuseppe Salvatore. And a weak but sweet little brother called Stefan.
QUOTES;
GIUSEPPE; What do tu mean, you're not going back(to university)?
DAMON; I would have thought even tu could understand such a simple sentence, father. Shall I repeat it in Latin for you?
GIUSEPPE; tu are telling me that I... will have to face my friends knowing my son is a... an idler?
DAMON; Apparently. If tu can call those who adular, fawn on tu in the hopes that tu will lend them money your friends.
(mocking Stefan on the subject of Elena)
DAMON; I only did it because I wanted to be close to you. Brothers should be close.
(throwing a árbol out of a forest in a wild display of power)
I didn't like it there anyway.
(with Elena)
ELENA; Where's Stefan?
DAMON; Stefan who?
(to Elena)
Don't tu be as stupid as my brother is. o I might have to treat tu the same way.
(to Elena)
DAMON; Do tu know... that a topo on the neck means you'll be wealthy? Do tu mind if I check?
STEFAN; I mind.
DAMON; But do tu matter?
(on the subject of himself)
I'm the most dangerous thing you're ever likely to encounter in your life.
(on the subject of Elena giving in to him)
ELENA; I'd rather cut my throat.
DAMON; An intriguing thought. But I can do it so much más enjoyably.
(after inviting himself to cena at Elena's)
ELENA; Go. o I'll tell them you're the killer.
DAMON; Don't tu think a guest deserves a little más consideration?
(seeing Elena and Stefan's reunion)
Very touching. Do tu want me to imitate a violin?
ELENA; I can't go down there. They think I'm dead!
DAMON; Oh, you've remembered that. Good for you.
(accused of dropping Stefan down a well)
A well? It's hardly my style.
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn about anyone else.
(on and to Elena)
I told Stefan from the beginning that he was selfish not to share you. Brothers should share things, tu know.
(making a pact)
STEFAN; I agree.
DAMON; And I agree. In fact, we all seem to be in a frenzy of pure agreement.
(denying the attack of Vickie Bennett)
ELENA; The cemetery, remember? The ruined church? The girl tu left wandering around there in her slip?
DAMON; Sorry, no. And I usually do remember girls I leave wandering in their slips.
(on the subject of joining Katherine)
KATHERINE; I didn't mean to hurt you... I'm sorry.
DAMON; Katherine?
KATHERINE; Yes?
DAMON; Katherine...
KATHERINE; Yes, Damon?
DAMON; Go to hell.
(on himself)
I am más dangerous than tu can possibly imagine.
STEFAN; Do tu want to get caught, Damon?
DAMON; I am never caught, little brother.
STEFAN; What are tu going to do when they come after you?... Kill them all?...
DAMON; Why not?
STEFAN; Don't throw their lives away.
DAMON; I don't give a damn about their lives.
(when Klaus is about to kill Stefan)
Get away from my brother. Before I tear your corazón out.
OPINIONS OF DAMON:
ELENA'S.
(I) watched that beautiful, capricious smile with a feeling of sorrow for what Damon might have been.
STEFAN'S(beside Damon and to Elena).
If you're looking for evil, tu don't have to look very far.
BONNIE'S.
Damon was a strange guy. But gorgeous. Definitely gorgeous
