One Year Later: ‘The Vampire Diaries’ Characters Then and Now Damon

THEN: Damon in the “Pilot

Damon was a cruel, murderous vampire who taunted his brother and didn’t care about anyone, even flirting with Caroline. And his hair was almost Bieber-esque.   

NOW: Damon One Year Later

Damon is much more sensitive, promising to protect Elena at all costs and actively helping people he didn’t care about one year ago.
