Family
Brief History:
Damon was born in Mystic Falls in 1844. When Katherine Pierce came to town, both he and his younger brother, Stefan Salvatore, fell in love with her. She went on to date both the boys behind each others back. In 1864 he is turned into a vampire after being shot by his father with Katherine's blood in his system. His transitioning was completed after Stefan, also now a vampire, convinced him to kill a woman. Damon, angry that Katherine had turned Stefan as well, vowed to make Stefan's life miserable. More than a hundred years later, Damon returns to Mystic Falls to free Katherine, who he believes is locked in a tomb there, after getting the witch Emily to trap the vampires in the church rather than letting them burn to death. Damon meets Elena Gilbert and, still hating his brother, decides to bring havoc to her relationship with Stefan. When he finds out that Katherine is not in the tomb and has been alive the entire time, he finds comfort in Elena. He then starts to fall in love with her. His relationship with Stefan also improves and it is shown that Damon actually does care about his brother. Kinda

Personality:
Damon is self-contained and reserved on the surface most of the time, only letting his emotions through when he's angry - usually at Stefan. He generally acts flippant and arrogant, and constantly plays word games, especially when it comes to dancing around an issue, and even more especially when that issue involves his true feelings on a serious subject.

He believes that the vampire nature is inherently dark, and that Stefan's attempts to not feed on humans are therefore unnatural.
