Damon Salvatore 10 Fast Facts, Biography, Wiki
Damon Salvatore is one of the two main male protagonists of The Vampire Diaries. Damon was a 178-year-old vampire and distant descendant of Silas. Since his younger brother, Stefan Salvatore, injected him with the Cure, he is now human. He was a major antagonist in the first part of Season One. He was born during the 1800s and lived in the colonial town of Mystic Falls with his brother Stefan, his father, Giuseppe Salvatore, and also with his mother Lillian Salvatore until her death in 1858. 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 and violent relationship. His best friends are Elena Gilbert, Alaric Saltzman and Bonnie Bennett. He was close friends with Elizabeth Forbes until her death. His friendship with his sister-in-law, Caroline Forbes, has improved during the last season and they now consider themselves as close friends. Damon was also best friends with Enzo from the time he first met him, until the latter was killed by Stefan, despite the two occasionally being at odds. Damon is a member of the Salvatore Family and was a member of the Town Council. Damon is very handsome, standing 5’10” in height with a well-built, toned physique. His physical appearance is of around a 24-25 year old despite being over 170. Damon has a light complexion with olive undertones and has a strong bone structure with high cheek bones and a solid jaw line. He has dark brown almost black hair, which hangs just over his ears, usually styled in a casual disarray yet sometimes gelled for special occasions. With striking, intense light blue eyes contrasting wonderfully against dark eyelashes and eyebrows, a “bad boy” smile, he can be described as relatively athletic, tall, strong, sexy and seductive. He also considers himself the “eternal stud”. Damon’s clothing style has remained somewhat similar throughout the series, usually favoring darker clothing; black shirts, t-shirts and boots underneath darkened jeans and black trousers, although on occasion has been seen wearing lighter colors. Damon is rarely seen without his leather jackets and his favorite clothing designer is “John Varvatos”. On special events, such as dances, he wears smart attire such as tuxedo’s and dress shoes. As a vampire, he wears a large lapis lazuli daylight ring enchanted by Emily Bennett, as a means to walk around in the sunlight as a vampire. The ring has the Salvatore crest and an embedded “D” for his first name. Damon is extremely fond of dancing. Damon doesn’t like Taylor Swift but is willing to listen to her to impress girls. In the books, Damon has the ability to shape-shift into a crow and wolf. In the series, Damon can control a crow and the mist but they were removed from the plot after the pilot. In the books, Damon owns a black Ferrari, and in the series, a blue 1967 Chevy Camaro convertible. Damon read a bit of one of the Twilight books at Caroline’s and hated it, while reminiscing Anne Rice’s vampire novels. Also, he said Edward is whipped. As a child, Damon used to have a pet turkey called Sammy, until his father made him eat her for Thanksgiving when he was twelve. Damon’s ethnic background on the show is half-French (from his mother) and half-Italian (from his father). However, in the novels, both he and Stefan are of full Italian descent. Damon has read Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell, a classic romance novel. Damon mentioned that he attended college, rather admitted to having been on a college campus, but never to having attended classes, at one point with Bree.
