!!Malachai "Kai" Parker
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/031034bc33899c83c9e71da9858ff023.jpg]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/{{Chris Wood|Actor}}

->''"See, when your family decides that you're nothing but an irredeemable piece of trash, well, guess the best thing to do is prove them right, right?"''

Kai was born as Malachai Parker in Portland, Oregon. He was part of a coven of witches, the Gemini, of which his large family was part of. Born as a "siphoner" of magic, Kai was seen as an ''abomination'' by his family and treated as such growing up. One day, these negative feelings made Kai snap and he went on to kill his siblings in various gruesome ways, which drew the attention of the Gemini Coven, who then harnessed the power of a solar eclipse and trapped Kai in a purgatory dimension as punishment for his crimes. The isolation caused further harm to his already damaged psyche and he swore revenge to those who "wronged" him. Luckily for him, Damon and Bonnie happened to land in his prison through various circumstances and his chance for freedom presented itself...

Suave, funny and incredibly dangerous and insane, Kai quickly becomes the BigBad of Season 6 and one of the most memorable villains the series has ever produced. He returns as a secondary antagonist in the final couple of episodes for Season 8 [[note]] Which happens to be the Final Season of the Series itself [[/note]]

----

* AboveGoodAndEvil: Kai seems to think because he is very powerful that he is above everybody else. He feels that he could use this power to be destructive or hurt others whenever he feels entitled to do so. Kai seems to lack morals and has no idea of right and wrong. Kai doesn't seem to care about hurting others and only seems to care about what he wants and he will do anything and everything in order to get it. It is very clear that when it comes to Kai, morals have no place in his life whatsoever. Even hurting his family didn't seem to faze him.
* AndIMustScream: Kai being trapped for years in a dimensional prison constructed by the Gemini Coven. Later he is tortured in [[spoiler:actual Hell when he dies by the Devil. He manages to escape...only to be trapped in a new dimensional prison due to Bonnie, with no hope of escaping.]] One would feel sorry for the guy...but then again, [[AssholeVictim it IS Kai.]]
* AloofOlderBrother: To all of his siblings, including Jo, Luke and Liv. Kai has openly said that even though Jo is his fraternal twin sister, Kai is still slightly older than she is. Kai is the oldest child in the Parker family of eight children. Kai has said that he grew up with a bunch of little brothers and sisters and that he found them all annoying. In personality, Kai is very aloof, cold and sociopathic and did not fit in with his family. Kai also seems to have the special ability, unlike his siblings, of absorbing magic from other witches. It could be assumed that shall Kai try to absorb the magic from his other siblings or any other witches, then Kai could possibly become the most powerful and the most dangerous character in the series.
* AxCrazy: Kai has mentioned that he murdered his entire family is very gruesome ways. This shows that Kai is incredibly sinister, evil and psychologically deranged. He also seems to show no remorse for his heinous acts and in fact, seems to boast about them.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Come on, he's called ''Malachai''. He even points out at one point that by calling him Malachai, his parents must've expected him to be evil.
* BadassBoast: Kai won't hesitate to constantly brag about how powerful he is and how he has the ability to absorb others witches magic whenever he wants to. Kai has also shown that he is highly arrogant and that he will threaten others without any remorse.
* BadPowersBadPeople: Kai is extremely powerful, so powerful that he has the ability to absorb magic. Of course, his family thought that because he possessed this ability, he was an abomination. Although powerful, it is obvious that he uses his magic and his abilities to do harmful things to other people. It could be assumed that Kai used his powers to murder his family.
* BeardOfEvil: Grows one during his banishment in ''Legacies'', taking away his boyish charm and elfish good looks and giving him more of a rugged, hunky appeal. Even saying that he and Alaric are now "beard buddies."
* BelligerentSexualTension: Kai seems to have this with Bonnie. Despite the fact that Kai is known to be psychopathic, one can obviously see that Kai is a very flirtatious personality and he often engages in SnarkToSnarkCombat with Bonnie. Even Damon seemed to notice the obvious sexual tension and flirting going on between Kai and Bonnie and Damon managed to get a little bit...jealous. This soon ends quickly when Kai reveals his true colors.
* BerserkButton: Being called an "abomination" by his family managed to set Kai off to the point where he gruesomely murdered his entire family.
* BigBad: Of Season 6. Kai is so evil that he is possibly irredeemable. He kills without any remorse and he plans on wreaking havoc to innocents if he shall get free of the dimension or hell that he is stuck in.
* BlackSheep: Of his family. According to Kai himself, his family saw him as someone who was an abomination, someone who did not belong or fit in with the rest of the family. This is because Kai possesses the ability of being able to consume or absorb magic. It could be assumed that Kai had intended to use this ability to absorb and consume the magic of the rest of his family in order to become more powerful and dangerous.
* BreakoutVillain: Despite appearing so late in the series run Kai quickly became one of the most memorable villains the show ever produced to the point that, despite dying at the end of season 6, Kai returns back from Hell for a two episode stint in the Final Season [[spoiler:as well as showing up for a final time for another two episode stint in SpinOff show Series/{{Legacies}}.]]
* CainAndAbel: The remorseless, psychopathic Cain to his twin sister Jo's kind and compassionate Abel.
* CardCarryingVillain: Kai makes it known that his intentions are not so good. He openly brags about how he has murdered his entire family with the exception of one of his siblings without any kind of remorse whatsoever. He freely admits to being a sociopath and that [[IAmWhatIAm he likes that aspect about himself.]] He seems to also revel in power and threatens to use that power to harm others whenever he feels he wants to.
* TheCharmer: Despite being evil and sinister, Kai has shown that he can be very flirtatious and charming when he wants to be. He has shown flirtatious behaviour towards Bonnie a few times, indicating that he is a bit of a womanizer as well.
* TheChessmaster: Kai appears to be cold, calculating, manipulative and methodical. He is very sociopathic and will use and manipulate others in order to get what he wants. He also seems to have no problem blackmailing others in order to get what he wants. Kai has some sort of agenda if he breaks free out of his Hell and it is unknown what his true intentions are.
* ComedicSociopathy: Kai is capable of incredible sarcasm and humor and he is often making a sarcastic or witty comment whenever he wants to. His natural talent for this is a part of his friendly act and he this to get what he wants.
* ConMan: Kai seems to very good at deceiving and conning others in order to get what he wants. He's shown to be strongly manipulative and a good liar, showing no problem with manipulation. He is very good at manipulating and conning that he even manages to put on a friendly facade or act in order to persuade others to do what he wants.
* DarkIsEvil: Kai is only seen wearing darker clothing, in particular, black clothing. It is also obvious that Kai is evil and does not have good intentions whatsoever. He has also proven that he is extremely threatening and dangerous and he is a formidable force to be reckoned with.
* DarkMessiah: Kai is extremely powerful, extremely deadly and extremely dangerous. If he breaks free, it is unknown what kind of trouble and havoc he will wreak. Kai is of an unusual kind considering that he has the special ability of consuming and absorbing other witches' magic. Meaning that if he chooses to, Kai can absorb or take the powers of other witches whenever he pleases. Despite the fact that he is very powerful, his family saw him as the opposite of normal and instead referred to Kai as an abomination.
* DeadpanSnarker: Kai possesses a very dry sense of humour and he can even be humorous and witty at times. Kai is very snide, sarcastic and snarky and he sometimes engages in SnarkToSnarkCombat with Damon. Kai even said that the fact that he was named Malakai makes him seem like he was born to be evil.
* {{Determinator}}: Kai has shown that he is a very persistent and determined individual. When he wants something, he will stop at nothing to get it, even if he has to resort to the most evil or underhanded methods or ways to achieve his goals and agenda.
* DraggedOffToHell: Kai was imprisoned in a purgatory prison or dimension of some sorts after he slaughtered his entire family in many gruesome ways. The Gemini Coven took notice of Kai's highly immoral actions and as a result of this, the Gemini Coven used the power of the solar eclipse and trapped him in the purgatory dimension as a punishment for his horrible crimes. Since then, Kai has been waiting too be released from his Hell so that he can wreak havoc. [[spoiler:When he dies at the end of Season 6, Kai is dragged off to ''literal'' hell but manages to escape in Season 8...only to be imprisoned once again in a new, more ''permanent'' prison, courtesy of Bonnie.]]
* TheDreaded: If Kai gets free from the purgatory dimension that he is trapped in, it could spell absolute chaos, destruction and hell for the entire town of Mystic Falls, in particular the Mystic Falls gang.
* EvilFeelsGood: Kai embraces his evil and villainous acts and behavior. He shows no remorse or guilt for murdering his entire family and revels in his special ability to absorb and consume magic. Kai has also shown that he is capable of being TheCorrupter and that he will use others in order to get what he wants. He also brags about how he has murdered his family in the most gruesome ways.
** After absorbing Luke's energies, he inadvertently absorbed Luke's empathy as well, which causes remorse and doubt to now accompany his actions. He soon gets over it in the Season 6 finale.
* EvilGloating: Kai has bragged and boasted about how he has killed his entire family without feeling any remorse or guilt. He seems to embrace in his evil and immoral behavior and has the intentions of wreaking havoc and causing much destruction, chaos and pain once he is free from his purgatory dimension. Kai has also been seen bragging about how powerful he is and that he has thew ability to consume other witches magic whenever he wants to. He threatens to use this ability on Bonnie a few times in order to intimidate her.
* EvilIsPetty: Has shown that he is incredibly spiteful and petty and that he commits evil and immoral acts because he simply cannot help himself. Kai revealed that he killed and murdered his own family without any sense of guilt or remorse all because of what they thought of him, which was an abomination. Kai seems to believe that his family thought Kai was an abomination because of his special ability to absorb magic from other witches, but that was only half true; it was the fact that he was an evil and sinister person that made his family view him in such a horrible way.
* EvilPlan: Kai plans on using Bonnie and her magic so that he could get free from the purgatory dimension that he was trapped in for his horrible crimes. Kai seems to make it known that he has every intention of causing much chaos and destruction wherever he goes. However, despite the fact that Kai makes it known that he plans on causing trouble, it is not clear what Kai's true agenda or motives are once he gets free. It is a possibility that he could be seeking revenge of some sorts for being trapped and imprisoned.
* EvilSorcerer: Kai is an extremely powerful witch who possesses powerful abilities. Kai also possesses a special ability which allows him to consume or absorb the magic of other witches. Meaning that he is able to take away another witch or warlock's powers temporarily or permanently.
* EvilTwin: With his sister Jo. Kai and Jo are actually fraternal opposite sex twins. While Jo is seen to be generally kind and caring, Kai is seen to be the complete and total opposite of her, very crazy, psychotic and sociopathic. Jo has a moral conscience while Kai doesn't seem to care about morals and doing the right thing. Kai and Jo are like night in day in terms of personality, temperament and outlooks that is sometimes unbelievable to realize that the two are even related much less twins.
* EvilWearsBlack: Kai is seen wearing black clothing, which is fitting, considering that he is the BigBad of the season. In fact, Kai wears all black clothing.
* {{Expy}}: Of Silas. It seems as though Silas and Kai have a lot in common in terms of their characterization. Both have shown that they are evil and have very bad or evil intentions. Silas and Kai are both AffablyEvil and can be polite and charming when they want to be. Both Silas and Kai are very powerful warlocks with incredible amount of power. Both Silas and Kai have been trapped in a dimension of some sort, with Silas being trapped or entombed in a cave and Kai being trapped or imprisoned in a purgatory dimension. Although, despite the many similarities between the two, Silas major motivation for his evil acts was true love while Kai's major motivation for his evil acts is pure hatred (against his family). Both Silas and Kai have also been referred to as "abominations". Let's not forget that both Silas and Kai also have a preference for wearing black or darker clothing.
* AFateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Trapped forever in a new dimensional prison by Bonnie, listening to a song he hates on repeat for the rest of eternity, unable to die.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: At first, Kai actually appears to be somewhat innocent and childlike. His physical appearance does not appear to be in any way dangerous or intimidating whatsoever. In fact, he seems like he could be a cute, nice guy judging by first impressions. Overall, Kai seems to lack an evil or intimidating villainous demeanour, however, underneath that innocent childlike boyish facade is a very evil and sinister person who is unrepentantly evil and remorseless. Kai is able to be friendly and charming when he wants to and he even possesses a very dry sense of humour and wit. However, this is the same guy who committed a very heinous act when he murdered his entire family in the most gruesome ways. His friendly and charming facade is all an act and he often uses it to manipulate in order to get what he wants.
* FreudianExcuse: Though he was already showing sociopathic tendencies from an early age,isolation and being treated differently from everyone else may have contributed to Kai's [[StartOfDarkness evil]] and he sometimes muses that others made him that way and he [[ThenLetMeBeEvil might as well be evil]] but he soon proves to others in-universe and out that he actually [[EvilFeelsGood loves being an evil dick.]] That, and his natural lack of emotional capacity.
* HumanoidAbomination: Kai's entire family had referred to Kai as an abomination, which Kai had mentioned had hurt his feelings. Because of the way his family saw him, Kai slaughtered his entire family without any remorse, feeling like his family made him out to be a monster because of his special ability to consume and absorb magic.
* {{Jerkass}}: Kai is incredibly evil and sociopathic and he does not have any redeemable traits or qualities. Kai actually murdered his entire family all because he felt that he was an abomination and he did not take it too well so he ended up lashing out in the worst way imaginable against them. While absorbing Luke's essence managed to briefly fill his [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold heart with empathy]], he loses it and becomes himself again after Bonnie traps within the alternate prison dimension, arguably even worse off than before.
* KickTheDog: Too many to list here but several notable ones include finally murdering his twin sister, Jo, on the day of her wedding before killing off the rest of his family. He comes back as a Hybrid Witch-Vampire and goes on to torture the main cast a couple of more times, especially poor Rick and Bonnie.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Does this to Damon by torturing him as much as possible. He even manages to fill bottles of water with vervain in it in order to weaken Damon so that it will be impossible for Damon to ever beat him. Kai also planned on staking him and physically torturing him as much as possible, that is until Bonnie intervenes and stops Kai. Through Kai's actions against Damon, Kai manages to get Bonnie's magic back.
* MagicIsEvil: This is pretty straightforward in regards to Kai. Not only does Kai use his magic to commit horrible acts, but he also has the special ability to being able to consume or absorb other magic from other witches whenever he wants to. Kai has shown that he is highly dangerous and he is not to be messed with.
* ManipulativeBastard: Kai has shown that he is extremely cunning and manipulative. He won't hesitate to use blackmail in order to get what he wants. In fact, Kai is so manipulative that his agenda or what he really wants or plans to do are not even clear. All that is known is that he is trying to manipulate and use Bonnie and get her to use her magic to get himself out of the purgatory dimension that he is stuck in.
* MrFanservice: Come on, just look at him. Although Kai is super evil and doesn't have the best of intentions, one cannot deny that Kai is very attractive and deadly charming.
* OffWithHisHead:
** Kai's ultimate fate in the season six finale, courtesy of Damon.
** [[spoiler:This happens again at the end of his two episode arc in Series/{{Legacies}} from Alaric to avenge Jo's death. Unlike before there is no more Hell or other dimension Kai can go to so it seems he is [[KilledOffForReal truly dead this time]].]]
* OhCrap: This is how Kai reacts when he realizes that by torturing Damon, he triggered Bonnie to get her magic back. As a result, he ends up succumbing to Bonnie and stops torturing Damon. Fortunately for him, Kai planned on using Bonnie and her magic to get out of his purgatory dimension that he is trapped in as Kai has said that Bonnie'e magic would be the key for all of them to get out of the dimension.
** Several times in Season 8 when [[spoiler:he escapes from Hell and learns that he has to run from the Devil. He gets a final one when he realizes Bonnie constructed a newer, stronger and more permanent dimensional prison of his personal "hell": being strapped to a chair in chains, listening to a song he hates.]]
* PolarOppositeTwins[=/=]SiblingYinYang: With Jo, his fraternal twin sister. Kai and Jo may be twins but they couldn't be more opposite if each other. While Jo is seen to be caring, kind, helpful and has a strong moral conscience, her brother Kai is the total opposite of her in terms of personality. Kai is very sociopathic, murderous, crazy and unpredictable. Kai also seems to have serious anger issues and exhibits very troublesome and crazy behaviour, especially when he is provoked to anger. Jo is also a doctor which also implies that Jo likes to help people and save them as well. Kai is the opposite in the sense that he seems to take pleasure in torturing innocent people and also killing with no remorse whatsoever.
* ShipperOnDeck: Seems to be one for Damon/Bonnie. He realizes that despite the fact that the two constantly argue, snark and yell at each other that on some level, even if Damon and Bonnie both don't want to admit it out loud or to themselves, they have a deep affection for each other. Kai had realized that through possibly killing Damon, Bonnie received her magic back and saving Damon's life when it was in danger was a motivation for her to get her magic back. Kai said that Bonnie would always come back for Damon no matter what because "that is how they show their love".
* TheSociopath: Though more akin to a psychopath, Kai has shown that he has zero remorse or guilt for all of the horrible things that he has done. He shows that he does not care that he murdered his entire family all because they viewed him as an evil abomination. Kai has also said that he murdered his family in the most gruesome ways and he has shown no guilt over what he has done to his family. It has also been said that his character is irredeemable and therefore has no good in him whatsoever.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Kai is not over the top in his mannerisms and he is rather subdued and composed. He seems to have a very calm demeanour and he is very methodical and strategic in the way he acts and the way he thinks.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Ironically despite being a self-described sociopath, after absorbing his younger brother Luke in the Merge, he gains a conscience and tries to make up for his crimes, especially to Bonnie. After Bonnie leaves him to die in the 1903 prison world however Kai makes a deal with Lily Salvatore and, after he returns to life, becomes the gleeful sociopath he claims to be and goes on another killing spree.
* WouldHurtAChild: Hurt? Kai murdered his younger siblings ''gruesomely''. [[spoiler:In Season 8, after learning that his nieces were in the same building as he, he went after them with the intention of cutting them to pieces with a giant axe. Thankfully he was stopped by Rick and Caroline in time.]]
* WrongContextMagic: Unlike most witches Kai was born without the ability to naturally produce magic; however, in exchange he gained the ability to siphon magic from people and objects allowing him to briefly gain access to magic. This power allowed Kai to bypass the Travelers' magic which strips all supernatural beings from being able to use magic and absorb it all for himself. This becomes even more of a problem at the end of season six when he becomes a Heretic, a witch/vampire hybrid who can use his siphon abilities to absorb his own vampiric magic and use it to cast spells, a feat that would normally be impossible.

[[folder: Jo]]

!!Josette "Jo" Parker/Jo Laughlin
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ff35d40f04b9c3e45a362f8502b40057.jpg]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/JodiLynnOKeefe

Jo is a tough and accomplished doctor at Whitemore University hospital. She is Elena's medical teacher and Alaric's new LoveInterest.

It's revealed Jo is the older sister of Luke and Liv Parker and the twin sister of Kai Parker. She is also a witch, but she no longer has access to magic.

----

* BigSisterInstinct: Protected her little siblings Lucas and Olivia from her EvilTwin Kai, when he attempted to kill them. When the time comes for Luke and Liv to carry out their coven's [[BlessedWithSuck barbaric]] [[FusionDance 'Merge' ritual]], Jo decided to undertake the ritual with Kai so to spare her siblings the horror of having to take either one's life.
* BigDamnHeroes: When Alaric is killed by the Traveler's magic purification border that removed his vampirism which kept him alive, Jo manages to resuscitate him at ''just'' the right moment bringing air back into his corpse, saving his life.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Jo is a witch, but she has relinquished her magic; she stored it away in a kitchen knife. She later on in the season takes it back so she can train to beat Kai in the Merge ritual.
** Later on, she has to give it to Kai so to help him recover from his faux Merge with Luke (to prevent her death and those of the Gemini Coven).
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Jo was part of a large family that were members of the Gemini Coven. She had seven siblings, along with Kai her twin. Kai turned out to be a total [[TheSociopath sociopath]]. When he learned he couldn't become the all-powerful leader of the coven because their youngest siblings Luke and Liv were chosen instead, he went on a killing spree. Kai attempted to kill Luke and Liv, gruesomely murdered their four other siblings ''after'' gutting Jo in her guts with a kitchen knife, scaring her for life. After Jo managed to hide Luke and Liv, and Kai is DraggedOffToHell by their father, Jo decided to leave her family and her witch legacy behind to become a doctor.
* HospitalHottie: While a nurse at the university and good at her job, Jo is noticeably attractive and striking as Alaric is quick to note.
* LongLostRelative: She is the older sister to twin witches Luke and Liv. Jo severed contact with her family after Kai went on his killing spree when she was 22.
* KilledOffForReal: It was a long time coming but she's tragically killed by her demented brother Kai on her wedding day, along with her babies.
* RescueRomance: She saves Alaric her new beau from dying after his vampirism is stripped. The fact that this is also the reason Alaric is changed back to human, and he doesn't have to worry he'll be tempted by her blood when he's with her takes this UpToEleven.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Outside the classroom, Jo is shown to be amicable with her students including Elena and Liam. When she discovers that Elena is a vampire, but she saved the life of 'Lady Whitemore' by giving her blood, she allows Elena to stay on as her student and eventually strikes up a friendship with her, even covering for her when needed.
* TheMedic: Jo is an accomplished doctor. After Kai's defeat, she chose not to be a witch and went to medical school. She eventually joined the Army as a medic. She now works as a medical doctor at Whitemore University.

->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/ChristopherCousins

The leader of the Gemini Coven of witches and the father of Kai and Jo Parker as well as the twins Liv and Luke Parker.
----
%% * AbusiveDad
* ActionDad: Joshua Parker is the all-powerful leader of the Gemini Coven. Should the need arise, he will jump into action to defend himself and those around him from threats.
* ArchnemesisDad: To his son Kai, because he killed four of his other children, and as punishment Joshua [[DraggedOffToHell imprisoned]] him for all time.
* ArcWords: "The ''coven'' comes before ''family''". Mr. Parker makes it known he believes the needs of the coven come before the needs of his family. This is justifiable as if the leader of the Gemini were to die before a new one was selected, the entire coven would die too, including the family.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: While he at first appears to be a father who cares about his kids, the way he treats them is questionable. He would ''forcibly'' push his beliefs of fulfilling their duties to the coven over familial loyalty and other moral obligations on them, such as their GoodIsNotNice mission against the Travelers and completing the [[FusionDance Merge ritual]] even though [[BlessedWithSuck the residential outcome]] is one twin becoming the leader and ensuring the coven's future but being responsible for the other twin's death.
%% * EasilyForgiven
* KilledOffForReal: In the season six finale by his son Kai along with all the other Gemini by Kai's suicide so for him to transition into a Heretic vampire.
* TheLeader: He is the head of the witch coven Gemini, the source of their power, their most powerful member. Halfway through Season six, the position of leader is eventually taken from him by Kai.
* TheStoic
* OffingTheOffspring: Joshua whenever he deems it necessary, he's bold enough to even kill off his children.
** When he learns there is a chance Kai could escape from his prison, he ''attempts'' to murder Jo from miles away so Kai wouldn't be able to undertake the Merge.
** After Luke and Liv put their foot down saying they won't do the Merge, he appears compliant - then he constrains them magically so to forcibly perform the ritual himself unto them.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: When he first appears, you feel for him because four of his eight children are dead - at the hands of another, except ... see OffingTheOffspring above.

After transitioning into a vampire, the cancer has also been enhanced to Stage 10, [[spoiler: a level of cancer that doesn't even exist]]. The resulting tumors caused him pain, he could ''hear'' his tumors growing.

!!Malachai "Kai" Parker
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/031034bc33899c83c9e71da9858ff023.jpg]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/{{Chris Wood|Actor}}

->''"See, when your family decides that you're nothing but an irredeemable piece of trash, well, guess the best thing to do is prove them right, right?"''

Kai was born as Malachai Parker in Portland, Oregon. He was part of a coven of witches, the Gemini, of which his large family was part of. Born as a "siphoner" of magic, Kai was seen as an ''abomination'' by his family and treated as such growing up. One day, these negative feelings made Kai snap and he went on to kill his siblings in various gruesome ways, which drew the attention of the Gemini Coven, who then harnessed the power of a solar eclipse and trapped Kai in a purgatory dimension as punishment for his crimes. The isolation caused further harm to his already damaged psyche and he swore revenge to those who "wronged" him. Luckily for him, Damon and Bonnie happened to land in his prison through various circumstances and his chance for freedom presented itself...

Suave, funny and incredibly dangerous and insane, Kai quickly becomes the BigBad of Season 6 and one of the most memorable villains the series has ever produced. He returns as a secondary antagonist in the final couple of episodes for Season 8 [[note]] Which happens to be the Final Season of the Series itself [[/note]]

----

* AboveGoodAndEvil: Kai seems to think because he is very powerful that he is above everybody else. He feels that he could use this power to be destructive or hurt others whenever he feels entitled to do so. Kai seems to lack morals and has no idea of right and wrong. Kai doesn't seem to care about hurting others and only seems to care about what he wants and he will do anything and everything in order to get it. It is very clear that when it comes to Kai, morals have no place in his life whatsoever. Even hurting his family didn't seem to faze him.
* AndIMustScream: Kai being trapped for years in a dimensional prison constructed by the Gemini Coven. Later he is tortured in [[spoiler:actual Hell when he dies by the Devil. He manages to escape...only to be trapped in a new dimensional prison due to Bonnie, with no hope of escaping.]] One would feel sorry for the guy...but then again, [[AssholeVictim it IS Kai.]]
* AloofOlderBrother: To all of his siblings, including Jo, Luke and Liv. Kai has openly said that even though Jo is his fraternal twin sister, Kai is still slightly older than she is. Kai is the oldest child in the Parker family of eight children. Kai has said that he grew up with a bunch of little brothers and sisters and that he found them all annoying. In personality, Kai is very aloof, cold and sociopathic and did not fit in with his family. Kai also seems to have the special ability, unlike his siblings, of absorbing magic from other witches. It could be assumed that shall Kai try to absorb the magic from his other siblings or any other witches, then Kai could possibly become the most powerful and the most dangerous character in the series.
* AxCrazy: Kai has mentioned that he murdered his entire family is very gruesome ways. This shows that Kai is incredibly sinister, evil and psychologically deranged. He also seems to show no remorse for his heinous acts and in fact, seems to boast about them.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Come on, he's called ''Malachai''. He even points out at one point that by calling him Malachai, his parents must've expected him to be evil.
* BadassBoast: Kai won't hesitate to constantly brag about how powerful he is and how he has the ability to absorb others witches magic whenever he wants to. Kai has also shown that he is highly arrogant and that he will threaten others without any remorse.
* BadPowersBadPeople: Kai is extremely powerful, so powerful that he has the ability to absorb magic. Of course, his family thought that because he possessed this ability, he was an abomination. Although powerful, it is obvious that he uses his magic and his abilities to do harmful things to other people. It could be assumed that Kai used his powers to murder his family.
* BeardOfEvil: Grows one during his banishment in ''Legacies'', taking away his boyish charm and elfish good looks and giving him more of a rugged, hunky appeal. Even saying that he and Alaric are now "beard buddies."
* BelligerentSexualTension: Kai seems to have this with Bonnie. Despite the fact that Kai is known to be psychopathic, one can obviously see that Kai is a very flirtatious personality and he often engages in SnarkToSnarkCombat with Bonnie. Even Damon seemed to notice the obvious sexual tension and flirting going on between Kai and Bonnie and Damon managed to get a little bit...jealous. This soon ends quickly when Kai reveals his true colors.
* BerserkButton: Being called an "abomination" by his family managed to set Kai off to the point where he gruesomely murdered his entire family.
* BigBad: Of Season 6. Kai is so evil that he is possibly irredeemable. He kills without any remorse and he plans on wreaking havoc to innocents if he shall get free of the dimension or hell that he is stuck in.
* BlackSheep: Of his family. According to Kai himself, his family saw him as someone who was an abomination, someone who did not belong or fit in with the rest of the family. This is because Kai possesses the ability of being able to consume or absorb magic. It could be assumed that Kai had intended to use this ability to absorb and consume the magic of the rest of his family in order to become more powerful and dangerous.
* BreakoutVillain: Despite appearing so late in the series run Kai quickly became one of the most memorable villains the show ever produced to the point that, despite dying at the end of season 6, Kai returns back from Hell for a two episode stint in the Final Season [[spoiler:as well as showing up for a final time for another two episode stint in SpinOff show Series/{{Legacies}}.]]
* CainAndAbel: The remorseless, psychopathic Cain to his twin sister Jo's kind and compassionate Abel.
* CardCarryingVillain: Kai makes it known that his intentions are not so good. He openly brags about how he has murdered his entire family with the exception of one of his siblings without any kind of remorse whatsoever. He freely admits to being a sociopath and that [[IAmWhatIAm he likes that aspect about himself.]] He seems to also revel in power and threatens to use that power to harm others whenever he feels he wants to.
* TheCharmer: Despite being evil and sinister, Kai has shown that he can be very flirtatious and charming when he wants to be. He has shown flirtatious behaviour towards Bonnie a few times, indicating that he is a bit of a womanizer as well.
* TheChessmaster: Kai appears to be cold, calculating, manipulative and methodical. He is very sociopathic and will use and manipulate others in order to get what he wants. He also seems to have no problem blackmailing others in order to get what he wants. Kai has some sort of agenda if he breaks free out of his Hell and it is unknown what his true intentions are.
* ComedicSociopathy: Kai is capable of incredible sarcasm and humor and he is often making a sarcastic or witty comment whenever he wants to. His natural talent for this is a part of his friendly act and he this to get what he wants.
* ConMan: Kai seems to very good at deceiving and conning others in order to get what he wants. He's shown to be strongly manipulative and a good liar, showing no problem with manipulation. He is very good at manipulating and conning that he even manages to put on a friendly facade or act in order to persuade others to do what he wants.
* DarkIsEvil: Kai is only seen wearing darker clothing, in particular, black clothing. It is also obvious that Kai is evil and does not have good intentions whatsoever. He has also proven that he is extremely threatening and dangerous and he is a formidable force to be reckoned with.
* DarkMessiah: Kai is extremely powerful, extremely deadly and extremely dangerous. If he breaks free, it is unknown what kind of trouble and havoc he will wreak. Kai is of an unusual kind considering that he has the special ability of consuming and absorbing other witches' magic. Meaning that if he chooses to, Kai can absorb or take the powers of other witches whenever he pleases. Despite the fact that he is very powerful, his family saw him as the opposite of normal and instead referred to Kai as an abomination.
* DeadpanSnarker: Kai possesses a very dry sense of humour and he can even be humorous and witty at times. Kai is very snide, sarcastic and snarky and he sometimes engages in SnarkToSnarkCombat with Damon. Kai even said that the fact that he was named Malakai makes him seem like he was born to be evil.
* {{Determinator}}: Kai has shown that he is a very persistent and determined individual. When he wants something, he will stop at nothing to get it, even if he has to resort to the most evil or underhanded methods or ways to achieve his goals and agenda.
* DraggedOffToHell: Kai was imprisoned in a purgatory prison or dimension of some sorts after he slaughtered his entire family in many gruesome ways. The Gemini Coven took notice of Kai's highly immoral actions and as a result of this, the Gemini Coven used the power of the solar eclipse and trapped him in the purgatory dimension as a punishment for his horrible crimes. Since then, Kai has been waiting too be released from his Hell so that he can wreak havoc. [[spoiler:When he dies at the end of Season 6, Kai is dragged off to ''literal'' hell but manages to escape in Season 8...only to be imprisoned once again in a new, more ''permanent'' prison, courtesy of Bonnie.]]
* TheDreaded: If Kai gets free from the purgatory dimension that he is trapped in, it could spell absolute chaos, destruction and hell for the entire town of Mystic Falls, in particular the Mystic Falls gang.
* EvilFeelsGood: Kai embraces his evil and villainous acts and behavior. He shows no remorse or guilt for murdering his entire family and revels in his special ability to absorb and consume magic. Kai has also shown that he is capable of being TheCorrupter and that he will use others in order to get what he wants. He also brags about how he has murdered his family in the most gruesome ways.
** After absorbing Luke's energies, he inadvertently absorbed Luke's empathy as well, which causes remorse and doubt to now accompany his actions. He soon gets over it in the Season 6 finale.
* EvilGloating: Kai has bragged and boasted about how he has killed his entire family without feeling any remorse or guilt. He seems to embrace in his evil and immoral behavior and has the intentions of wreaking havoc and causing much destruction, chaos and pain once he is free from his purgatory dimension. Kai has also been seen bragging about how powerful he is and that he has thew ability to consume other witches magic whenever he wants to. He threatens to use this ability on Bonnie a few times in order to intimidate her.
* EvilIsPetty: Has shown that he is incredibly spiteful and petty and that he commits evil and immoral acts because he simply cannot help himself. Kai revealed that he killed and murdered his own family without any sense of guilt or remorse all because of what they thought of him, which was an abomination. Kai seems to believe that his family thought Kai was an abomination because of his special ability to absorb magic from other witches, but that was only half true; it was the fact that he was an evil and sinister person that made his family view him in such a horrible way.
* EvilPlan: Kai plans on using Bonnie and her magic so that he could get free from the purgatory dimension that he was trapped in for his horrible crimes. Kai seems to make it known that he has every intention of causing much chaos and destruction wherever he goes. However, despite the fact that Kai makes it known that he plans on causing trouble, it is not clear what Kai's true agenda or motives are once he gets free. It is a possibility that he could be seeking revenge of some sorts for being trapped and imprisoned.
* EvilSorcerer: Kai is an extremely powerful witch who possesses powerful abilities. Kai also possesses a special ability which allows him to consume or absorb the magic of other witches. Meaning that he is able to take away another witch or warlock's powers temporarily or permanently.
* EvilTwin: With his sister Jo. Kai and Jo are actually fraternal opposite sex twins. While Jo is seen to be generally kind and caring, Kai is seen to be the complete and total opposite of her, very crazy, psychotic and sociopathic. Jo has a moral conscience while Kai doesn't seem to care about morals and doing the right thing. Kai and Jo are like night in day in terms of personality, temperament and outlooks that is sometimes unbelievable to realize that the two are even related much less twins.
* EvilWearsBlack: Kai is seen wearing black clothing, which is fitting, considering that he is the BigBad of the season. In fact, Kai wears all black clothing.
* {{Expy}}: Of Silas. It seems as though Silas and Kai have a lot in common in terms of their characterization. Both have shown that they are evil and have very bad or evil intentions. Silas and Kai are both AffablyEvil and can be polite and charming when they want to be. Both Silas and Kai are very powerful warlocks with incredible amount of power. Both Silas and Kai have been trapped in a dimension of some sort, with Silas being trapped or entombed in a cave and Kai being trapped or imprisoned in a purgatory dimension. Although, despite the many similarities between the two, Silas major motivation for his evil acts was true love while Kai's major motivation for his evil acts is pure hatred (against his family). Both Silas and Kai have also been referred to as "abominations". Let's not forget that both Silas and Kai also have a preference for wearing black or darker clothing.
* AFateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Trapped forever in a new dimensional prison by Bonnie, listening to a song he hates on repeat for the rest of eternity, unable to die.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: At first, Kai actually appears to be somewhat innocent and childlike. His physical appearance does not appear to be in any way dangerous or intimidating whatsoever. In fact, he seems like he could be a cute, nice guy judging by first impressions. Overall, Kai seems to lack an evil or intimidating villainous demeanour, however, underneath that innocent childlike boyish facade is a very evil and sinister person who is unrepentantly evil and remorseless. Kai is able to be friendly and charming when he wants to and he even possesses a very dry sense of humour and wit. However, this is the same guy who committed a very heinous act when he murdered his entire family in the most gruesome ways. His friendly and charming facade is all an act and he often uses it to manipulate in order to get what he wants.
* FreudianExcuse: Though he was already showing sociopathic tendencies from an early age,isolation and being treated differently from everyone else may have contributed to Kai's [[StartOfDarkness evil]] and he sometimes muses that others made him that way and he [[ThenLetMeBeEvil might as well be evil]] but he soon proves to others in-universe and out that he actually [[EvilFeelsGood loves being an evil dick.]] That, and his natural lack of emotional capacity.
* HumanoidAbomination: Kai's entire family had referred to Kai as an abomination, which Kai had mentioned had hurt his feelings. Because of the way his family saw him, Kai slaughtered his entire family without any remorse, feeling like his family made him out to be a monster because of his special ability to consume and absorb magic.
* {{Jerkass}}: Kai is incredibly evil and sociopathic and he does not have any redeemable traits or qualities. Kai actually murdered his entire family all because he felt that he was an abomination and he did not take it too well so he ended up lashing out in the worst way imaginable against them. While absorbing Luke's essence managed to briefly fill his [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold heart with empathy]], he loses it and becomes himself again after Bonnie traps within the alternate prison dimension, arguably even worse off than before.
* KickTheDog: Too many to list here but several notable ones include finally murdering his twin sister, Jo, on the day of her wedding before killing off the rest of his family. He comes back as a Hybrid Witch-Vampire and goes on to torture the main cast a couple of more times, especially poor Rick and Bonnie.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Does this to Damon by torturing him as much as possible. He even manages to fill bottles of water with vervain in it in order to weaken Damon so that it will be impossible for Damon to ever beat him. Kai also planned on staking him and physically torturing him as much as possible, that is until Bonnie intervenes and stops Kai. Through Kai's actions against Damon, Kai manages to get Bonnie's magic back.
* MagicIsEvil: This is pretty straightforward in regards to Kai. Not only does Kai use his magic to commit horrible acts, but he also has the special ability to being able to consume or absorb other magic from other witches whenever he wants to. Kai has shown that he is highly dangerous and he is not to be messed with.
* ManipulativeBastard: Kai has shown that he is extremely cunning and manipulative. He won't hesitate to use blackmail in order to get what he wants. In fact, Kai is so manipulative that his agenda or what he really wants or plans to do are not even clear. All that is known is that he is trying to manipulate and use Bonnie and get her to use her magic to get himself out of the purgatory dimension that he is stuck in.
* MrFanservice: Come on, just look at him. Although Kai is super evil and doesn't have the best of intentions, one cannot deny that Kai is very attractive and deadly charming.
* OffWithHisHead:
** Kai's ultimate fate in the season six finale, courtesy of Damon.
** [[spoiler:This happens again at the end of his two episode arc in Series/{{Legacies}} from Alaric to avenge Jo's death. Unlike before there is no more Hell or other dimension Kai can go to so it seems he is [[KilledOffForReal truly dead this time]].]]
* OhCrap: This is how Kai reacts when he realizes that by torturing Damon, he triggered Bonnie to get her magic back. As a result, he ends up succumbing to Bonnie and stops torturing Damon. Fortunately for him, Kai planned on using Bonnie and her magic to get out of his purgatory dimension that he is trapped in as Kai has said that Bonnie'e magic would be the key for all of them to get out of the dimension.
** Several times in Season 8 when [[spoiler:he escapes from Hell and learns that he has to run from the Devil. He gets a final one when he realizes Bonnie constructed a newer, stronger and more permanent dimensional prison of his personal "hell": being strapped to a chair in chains, listening to a song he hates.]]
* PolarOppositeTwins[=/=]SiblingYinYang: With Jo, his fraternal twin sister. Kai and Jo may be twins but they couldn't be more opposite if each other. While Jo is seen to be caring, kind, helpful and has a strong moral conscience, her brother Kai is the total opposite of her in terms of personality. Kai is very sociopathic, murderous, crazy and unpredictable. Kai also seems to have serious anger issues and exhibits very troublesome and crazy behaviour, especially when he is provoked to anger. Jo is also a doctor which also implies that Jo likes to help people and save them as well. Kai is the opposite in the sense that he seems to take pleasure in torturing innocent people and also killing with no remorse whatsoever.
* ShipperOnDeck: Seems to be one for Damon/Bonnie. He realizes that despite the fact that the two constantly argue, snark and yell at each other that on some level, even if Damon and Bonnie both don't want to admit it out loud or to themselves, they have a deep affection for each other. Kai had realized that through possibly killing Damon, Bonnie received her magic back and saving Damon's life when it was in danger was a motivation for her to get her magic back. Kai said that Bonnie would always come back for Damon no matter what because "that is how they show their love".
* TheSociopath: Though more akin to a psychopath, Kai has shown that he has zero remorse or guilt for all of the horrible things that he has done. He shows that he does not care that he murdered his entire family all because they viewed him as an evil abomination. Kai has also said that he murdered his family in the most gruesome ways and he has shown no guilt over what he has done to his family. It has also been said that his character is irredeemable and therefore has no good in him whatsoever.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Kai is not over the top in his mannerisms and he is rather subdued and composed. He seems to have a very calm demeanour and he is very methodical and strategic in the way he acts and the way he thinks.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Ironically despite being a self-described sociopath, after absorbing his younger brother Luke in the Merge, he gains a conscience and tries to make up for his crimes, especially to Bonnie. After Bonnie leaves him to die in the 1903 prison world however Kai makes a deal with Lily Salvatore and, after he returns to life, becomes the gleeful sociopath he claims to be and goes on another killing spree.
* WouldHurtAChild: Hurt? Kai murdered his younger siblings ''gruesomely''. [[spoiler:In Season 8, after learning that his nieces were in the same building as he, he went after them with the intention of cutting them to pieces with a giant axe. Thankfully he was stopped by Rick and Caroline in time.]]
* WrongContextMagic: Unlike most witches Kai was born without the ability to naturally produce magic; however, in exchange he gained the ability to siphon magic from people and objects allowing him to briefly gain access to magic. This power allowed Kai to bypass the Travelers' magic which strips all supernatural beings from being able to use magic and absorb it all for himself. This becomes even more of a problem at the end of season six when he becomes a Heretic, a witch/vampire hybrid who can use his siphon abilities to absorb his own vampiric magic and use it to cast spells, a feat that would normally be impossible.

->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/JodiLynnOKeefe

Jo is a tough and accomplished doctor at Whitemore University hospital. She is Elena's medical teacher and Alaric's new LoveInterest.

It's revealed Jo is the older sister of Luke and Liv Parker and the twin sister of Kai Parker. She is also a witch, but she no longer has access to magic.

----

* BigSisterInstinct: Protected her little siblings Lucas and Olivia from her EvilTwin Kai, when he attempted to kill them. When the time comes for Luke and Liv to carry out their coven's [[BlessedWithSuck barbaric]] [[FusionDance 'Merge' ritual]], Jo decided to undertake the ritual with Kai so to spare her siblings the horror of having to take either one's life.
* BigDamnHeroes: When Alaric is killed by the Traveler's magic purification border that removed his vampirism which kept him alive, Jo manages to resuscitate him at ''just'' the right moment bringing air back into his corpse, saving his life.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Jo is a witch, but she has relinquished her magic; she stored it away in a kitchen knife. She later on in the season takes it back so she can train to beat Kai in the Merge ritual.
** Later on, she has to give it to Kai so to help him recover from his faux Merge with Luke (to prevent her death and those of the Gemini Coven).
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Jo was part of a large family that were members of the Gemini Coven. She had seven siblings, along with Kai her twin. Kai turned out to be a total [[TheSociopath sociopath]]. When he learned he couldn't become the all-powerful leader of the coven because their youngest siblings Luke and Liv were chosen instead, he went on a killing spree. Kai attempted to kill Luke and Liv, gruesomely murdered their four other siblings ''after'' gutting Jo in her guts with a kitchen knife, scaring her for life. After Jo managed to hide Luke and Liv, and Kai is DraggedOffToHell by their father, Jo decided to leave her family and her witch legacy behind to become a doctor.
* HospitalHottie: While a nurse at the university and good at her job, Jo is noticeably attractive and striking as Alaric is quick to note.
* LongLostRelative: She is the older sister to twin witches Luke and Liv. Jo severed contact with her family after Kai went on his killing spree when she was 22.
* KilledOffForReal: It was a long time coming but she's tragically killed by her demented brother Kai on her wedding day, along with her babies.
* RescueRomance: She saves Alaric her new beau from dying after his vampirism is stripped. The fact that this is also the reason Alaric is changed back to human, and he doesn't have to worry he'll be tempted by her blood when he's with her takes this UpToEleven.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Outside the classroom, Jo is shown to be amicable with her students including Elena and Liam. When she discovers that Elena is a vampire, but she saved the life of 'Lady Whitemore' by giving her blood, she allows Elena to stay on as her student and eventually strikes up a friendship with her, even covering for her when needed.
* TheMedic: Jo is an accomplished doctor. After Kai's defeat, she chose not to be a witch and went to medical school. She eventually joined the Army as a medic. She now works as a medical doctor at Whitemore University.

%% * AbusiveDad
* ActionDad: Joshua Parker is the all-powerful leader of the Gemini Coven. Should the need arise, he will jump into action to defend himself and those around him from threats.
* ArchnemesisDad: To his son Kai, because he killed four of his other children, and as punishment Joshua [[DraggedOffToHell imprisoned]] him for all time.
* ArcWords: "The ''coven'' comes before ''family''". Mr. Parker makes it known he believes the needs of the coven come before the needs of his family. This is justifiable as if the leader of the Gemini were to die before a new one was selected, the entire coven would die too, including the family.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: While he at first appears to be a father who cares about his kids, the way he treats them is questionable. He would ''forcibly'' push his beliefs of fulfilling their duties to the coven over familial loyalty and other moral obligations on them, such as their GoodIsNotNice mission against the Travelers and completing the [[FusionDance Merge ritual]] even though [[BlessedWithSuck the residential outcome]] is one twin becoming the leader and ensuring the coven's future but being responsible for the other twin's death.
%% * EasilyForgiven
* KilledOffForReal: In the season six finale by his son Kai along with all the other Gemini by Kai's suicide so for him to transition into a Heretic vampire.

* TheStoic
* OffingTheOffspring: Joshua whenever he deems it necessary, he's bold enough to even kill off his children.
** When he learns there is a chance Kai could escape from his prison, he ''attempts'' to murder Jo from miles away so Kai wouldn't be able to undertake the Merge.
** After Luke and Liv put their foot down saying they won't do the Merge, he appears compliant - then he constrains them magically so to forcibly perform the ritual himself unto them.

* EvilPlan: Kai plans on using Bonnie and her magic so that he could get free from the purgatory dimension that he was trapped in for his horrible crimes. Kai seems to make it known that he has every intention of causing much chaos and destruction wherever he goes. However, despite the fact that Kai makes it know that he plans on causing trouble, it is not clear what Kai's true agenda or motives are once he gets free. It is a possibility that he could be seeking revenge of some sorts for being trapped and imprisoned.

* WrongContextMagic: Unlike most witches Kai was born without the ability to naturally produce magic; however, in exchange he gained the ability to siphon magic from people and objects allowing him to briefly gain access to magic. This power allowed Kai to bypass the travelers' magic which strips all supernatural beings from being able to use magic and absorb it all for himself. This becomes even more of a problem at the end of season six when he becomes a heretic, a witch/vampire hybrid who can use his siphon abilities to absorb his own vampiric magic and use it to cast spells, a feat that would normally be impossible.

Kai was born as "Malachai" in Portland, Oregon. He was part of a coven of witches, the Gemini, of which his large family was part of. Born as a "siphoner" of magic, Kai was seen as an ''abomination'' by his family and treated as such growing up. One day, these negative feelings made Kai snap and he went on to kill his siblings in various gruesome ways, which drew the attention of the Gemini Coven, who then harnessed the power of a solar eclipse and trapped Kai in a purgatory dimension as punishment for his crimes. The isolation caused further harm to his already damaged psyche and he swore revenge to those who "wronged" him. Luckily for him, Damon and Bonnie happened to land in his prison through various circumstances and his chance for freedom presented itself...
