Who is Klaus in the books?
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Julie Plec had this to say about Rose dropping Klaus’ name in the final moments of episode 208:
The mystery of Klaus and when we’ll see Klaus is going to be the same 質問 of ‘When will we see Katherine?’ from last season. We’re gonna learn a lot about him and be hopefully very afraid of him before we ever lay eyes on him. That’s gonna be a nice, big, long healthy tease. It’s so funny, the way we dropped the bomb of his name last episode [Rose 発言しました The Originals, the oldest vampires, will be coming for Elena, and they'll be doing it for him, Klaus], Kevin and I were laughing. We’re like, the book ファン are gonna lose their freakin’ minds in this moment, and the rest of America is gonna go, ‘Huh… Alright. Who’s that?’ [Laughs] But it’s one of those moments that you’re like, I don’t care because I know the million book ファン are gonna be so excited that it’s worth it.”
And she was right! In the Vampire Diaries book series, Klaus is actually Katherine’s maker and, as is par for the course with the TV series, they’ve switched it up to keep book ファン guessing. In the show, Katherine essentially makes herself, after tricking Rose into giving her blood; her history with Klaus is now much, much different. In the books, Klaus is the Big Bad of book 4, Dark Reunion, come to wreak merry havoc on Fell’s Church, Virginia (because he was apparently quite bored). Tall, Nordic-looking, powerful, charismatic, and creepy as hell, the Klaus of the 本 claims to be carrying a bronze ax in his earliest memories. He makes passing references to the fall of Rome, fighting with Alexander’s army, and being in the Trojan War, so あなた know he’s old. He also brags a lot, but what makes him scary is that his follow-through on 発言しました boasts is excellent. Also, he’s so insane he’s wrapped back ’round to sane again, if あなた can imagine that. (L.J. Smith once stated that she based the character on Rutger Hauer in The Hitcher, possibly one of the greatest horror 映画 of the eighties.) He also has a penchant for quoting 詩 (Kipling, Auden, Housman, and Roethke) and has a soft spot for fifties 音楽 (see if あなた can ever listen to The Spaniels’ “Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight” the same way again after 読書 Dark Reunion).

Damon tried to open his eyes, but the vervain burned too painful. Now he had ロスト his sight he had to count on his hearing. And Bonnie gladly took advantage of that. She slowly step around Damon, waiting a few 秒 after each step.
“What are あなた doing?” Damon asked anxious.
But Bonnie didn’t answer.
She held a horn in her hands and held it right 次 to Damon’s ear.
“What are あなた doing?” Damon repeated. He tried to feel where Bonnie was with his free hand.
Bonnie grabbed his hand and turned it on his back, until she felt it break. While Damon cried she pressed the horn, which drowned his voice.
