In the new world, which later was founded by the Founding families as Mystic Falls, Elijah was born as the second eldest 1,000 years ago, to Esther and Mikael Mikaelson. Freya was the first born and Mikael's favorite, but Esther, when Mikael came back home after a hunt, told him that Freya died from sickness. It devastated him. Then Elijah and then Finn were born. After came Kol, Klaus, Henrik, and Rebekah all in that order. 517Please respect copyright.PENANAjspZJs94qV
When Klaus was born, Mikael was proud. He thought Klaus would be a warrior son he always wanted. But then he found out that he was born due to his unfaithful wife. Esther had had an affair with the alpha of the werewolf pack, Ansel. Mikael was enraged. He was even more enraged after Henrik was killed on a full moon night, and so he killed Klaus' real father. Mikael was always striking out at Klaus, because he no longer loved him. He even stopped Elijah from teaching him how to use a bow and arrow, when Elijah was only nine and Klaus was seven. 517Please respect copyright.PENANA4NfbS1X5Qv
When they grew up, Mikael was even worse. He would beat and whip him so bad that there were times Elijah and Rebekah had to step in.517Please respect copyright.PENANA4EkRshudgd
A while later, Elijah and Klaus both fell in love with Tatia. Esther thought it would destroy them and she was devastated by the loss of two of her children, so she used Tatia's blood with a dark magic spell to make her entire family, including Mikael, turn into vampires. It killed Tatia and so Elijah and Klaus hated her for that. Klaus even killed Esther and told the others that Mikael did it. Then they made a promise saying, "We stick together, always and forever."517Please respect copyright.PENANA3Dl4czTVpz
For 1,ooo years, they ran and hid from Mikael, but that didn't stop Klaus from killing. Elijah was never the one to kill unless need be. He was all for control, while Klaus was known for being impulsive. 517Please respect copyright.PENANAcLwgLjl5xi
In New Orleans in 1820, Elijah had fallen for a witch named Celeste, but it was short lived when she was killed indirectly by Klaus, when Klaus sent a rumor that the high volume of bodies were result of the witches seeking blood sacrifices for their rituals. 517Please respect copyright.PENANAlwnIYey7Vd

In 2010, Elijah came to Mystic Falls to collect Elena for Klaus, but the Salvatores rescued her and Elijah killed Trevor for Klaus for helping Katerina all those years ago. He spared Rose, believing that killing Trevor was enough punishment for her, since she had loved Trevor very much. Then he made a deal with Elena that none of her friends and family would be harmed by him, in exchange in helping to kill Klaus. Elijah failed, though. 517Please respect copyright.PENANA5qJAI0lh1Q
In 2013, Elijah met Katherine on his way out. She showed him she loved and trusted him, by giving him the cure and telling him that he doesn't owe her anything, and that she'd let him decide where they stand. 517Please respect copyright.PENANAacbPqxvnHT
After Klaus left Mystic Falls to deal with some witches in New Orleans, so did Elijah. He told her goodbye, despite how much she pleaded for him to stay, saying, "It's our turn."517Please respect copyright.PENANANiFDV0fV5E
