An Upgraded Vampire is described type of vampire that is Vampires are magically reanimated human corpses which are inhabited by the spirits of the deceased person and who closely resemble the living human they were before their transformation. Vampires feed and survive on the blood of the living, typically on that of humans, and they can also transform other humans into more of their kind by sharing their own blood with them. Upgraded Vampires are one of the many known supernatural species that were created by witches, albeit through the creation of their progenitors, the Upgraded Original Vampires.
Vampire Dominant Hybrid[]
A human must have Marcel ‘s or a Vampire Dominant’s blood in some way (whether by drinking it, having it poured into their open wound, or by being injected with it) and has subsequently died with the blood in their system will be magically revived as an undead vampire, just like the vampire who sired them. The exact nature of the human's death is irrelevant to this process; the only condition that must be met is that the body has to be more-or-less intact and able to function once they reawaken in transition, though the upper limits of physical damage upon a human body by which vampirism can recover has yet to be defined.
in transition
In order to complete the transition into a vampire dominant hybrid, the person must then consume a significant amount of human blood, at least a sip's worth, within the next twenty-four hours, or else they will die. Vampire Dominants can only feed on human blood in order to complete their transformation—animal blood or vampire blood is not sufficient to finish the transformation from human to vampire. However, in this case, "human blood" can include the blood of a human witch, as was proven by Alaric Saltzman and Camille O'Connell, who both completed their transformations by drinking the blood of witches Bonnie Bennett and Vincent Griffith, respectively. Additionally, the blood need not be from a live human; Caroline Forbes and Esther Mikaelson (while possessing Lenore) both completed their transitions by feeding on donor bags of human blood and Vicki Donovan completed her transition by drinking from the newly-deceased Logan Fell, who would then awaken a short time later to find himself in transition as well.
Sirelines[]
Their blood possesses mystical properties that are passed down to each and every one of the hybrid dominants they sire, along with every hybrid dominant sired by their progeny, connecting all hybrid dominants to one of the two Original Hybrid Dominants from whom they are descending by a bloodline.

Powers and Abilities[]
Non-Original Vampires Dominants Hybrid possess roughly the same powers befitting an Non-Original Vampire, but with a few modifications due to the nature of the spell that created them as well as the introduction of a strain werewolf venom designed to kill Originals.
- Super Strength: Non-Original vampire dominants hybrids are stronger than werewolves, Evolved werewolves, non-Original Werewolf-Vampires Hybrid,non-Original vampires, Supernatural Hunters, immortals and humans. they also get stronger with age.
- Super Speed: Non-Original vampire dominants hybrids are stronger than werewolves, Evolved werewolves, non-Original vampires, Supernatural Hunters, immortals and humans. they also get stronger with age.
- Super Agility: Non-Original vampire dominants hybrids possess much more superhuman stamina, flexibility, reflexes, agility, and dexterity than many humans and supernatural beings. They can move, jump, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion
- Super Senses: Non-Original vampire dominants hybrids have extremely keen senses of hearing, sight, touch, and smell that exceed those of other supernatural beings and humans. As hybrids, their senses are superior to the individual species, making their ability extremely effective.
- Super Durability: Non-Original vampire dominants hybrids can bear a lot of trauma. They also hardly ever get tired or fatigued and can take far more trauma than other supernatural beings and humans, without much discomfort or injury. Stakes and arrows cannot kill them when they are struck in the heart, they merely become unconscious.
- Enhanced Healing Factor: Non-Original vampire dominants hybrids have superior healing capabilities and can recover from most injuries much quicker and more effectively than their individual species. This renders them practically invincible to anything but fatal wounds that can seriously impair their healing capabilities, such as decapitation or heart extraction.. They also seem to heal much more quickly when exposed to vervain, wolfsbane, or wood.
- Immortality: Non-Original vampire dominants hybrids stop aging the moment they transition. They become immune to all conventional diseases, toxins, poisons, viruses, illness, infections, and injuries.
- Emotional Control: non-Original vampire dominants hybrids are able to exert certain control over their own emotions, such that they can turn off their humanity.
- Enhanced Emotions: Non-Original vampire dominants hybrids experience emotions more powerfully than humans and non-Original vampires.
- Mind Compulsion; A non-Original vampire dominant hybrid can compel the minds of humans. They cannot, however, compel other supernatural beings.
- Telepathy: Non-Original vampire dominants hybrids have the ability, albeit a weak variant, to enter the minds of others as long as theirs is stronger than them. Normally, this ability works in a tactile fashion and requires physical contact in order for it to work successfully.
- Dream Manipulation: Non-Original vampire dominants hybrids can control dreams and subconscious. They can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares, or lucid dreaming. Other effects of this ability are the distortion of reality and trapped in dreams.
- Illusions:Non-Original vampire dominants hybrids have the power to trick the minds of others into seeing and feeling things that aren't actually happening.
- Dream Manipulation: Non-Original vampire dominants hybrids can control dreams and subconscious. They can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares, or lucid dreaming. Other effects of this ability are the distortion of reality and trapped in dreams.
- Advanced Werewolf Bite: They possess a bite that is deadly enough to even kill an Original vampire and consequently non-Original vampires. As in the case of Joshua Rosza, he was killed only minutes after having the venom introduced into his system; however, this was due to the venom already injected within his heart, whereas when Camille O'Connell was bitten on the wrist by Lucien, she survived longer but still died quicker than a bite typical of a normal werewolf bite. Klaus' blood, though it can alleviate some of the effects of the venom, such as hallucinations, cannot cure it as the venom that was used in the Immortality Spell was a new strain created from all seven werewolf bloodlines and was designed to have no known cure. Even the blood of an Original Hybrid Dominant could not cure the venom; this was evident with Camille. It is unknown how it would affect Klaus or any non-Original werewolf-vampire hybrid as Klaus' and Hope's blood had no chance of curing it. Davina, however, attempted to use Marcel's venom by introducing it directly into Klaus' blood in an attempt to sacrifice him; this implies that even though he's a hybrid, Klaus is susceptible to its fatal effects. However, Freya was able to create an anti-venom by using the venom from all seven werewolf packs and Klaus' blood along with a spell.
Weaknesses[]
If vampire dominant hybrid is killed by a wooden object stabbed through their heart, their body desiccates into a gray color, and their vampiric veins thicken and protrude from their skin. Vampires dominants can build up a tolerance to some weaknesses, such as vervain, allowing them to protect themselves from compulsion by an Original and to help lessen the likelihood that it will seriously incapacitate them when used by enemies. However, it will still burn them upon contact, but if ingested, it will not weaken them as much if they take small amounts over time to increase their immunity.
- Animal Blood: Animal blood, while somewhat satisfying a vampire dominant hybrid’s hunger and sustaining their undead life, will make the vampire dominant hybrid considerably weaker than they would be if they had drank human blood, causing their physical abilities to be inferior to a human-blood-consuming vampire, making them heal much more slowly, and making their compulsion less effective.
- Broken Neck: Breaking an vampire dominant hybrid’s neck will not kill them, but it will render them unconscious.
- Desiccation: Being completely drained of blood or the heart stopping will cause an vampire dominant hybrid to desiccate like any other vampire, losing most of its strength and any ability to move. The desiccated beast will appear as a corpse and can only start functioning again once they feed on blood. This process can be replicated artificially by a witch casting a desiccation spell.
- Invitation: In order to enter any house owned by humans, they had to be invited by that person. Once invited the vampire cannot be uninvited, only if ownership of the house is changed can they be removed until re-invited. If a vampire lives in a house, other vampires can enter freely and if a vampire is in the house without being invited in it will become disoriented and will begin to suffocate. It was shown that vampires can be pulled out by extreme force making them have to exit, if ownership is changed while inside.
- Magic: vampires dominants hybrids are susceptible to the powers of witchcraft. A witch with enough magical power at their disposal could harm or even kill them. Magic can also be used to trap an Upgraded Original through the use of boundary spells, and magic can also be used to desiccate them.
- Physical Trauma: Minor physical injuries such as gunshots, stab wounds and broken bones will cause vampires dominants hybrids pain and may also slow them down. However, this is momentary as they will heal completely within seconds. Lucien showed some resistance to wooden bullets.
- Sunlight: Sunlight and UV rays burn vampires on contact, and prolonged exposure will cause them to burst into flames and die. However, this weakness can be mitigated by the use of a lapis lazuli stone enchanted with a specific protection spell by a witch for a particular vampire, which is usually affixed to jewelry, though it requires the vampire to wear the stone at all times.
- Wood: A wooden stake through the heart will desiccate vampire dominant hybrids.
Freya's Dagger: A dagger that was made by Freya with the help of Keelin's expertise in medicine and biology. The dagger was made by using Freya's blood, Esther's magic, Marcel's venom, and the ashes of Lucien Castle. It holds the power to specifically kill Original vampire dominant hybrid and vampires dominants hybrids though has yet to be demonstrated.
