->'''Played By:''' Creator/ToddLasance
Julian was a recurring character and an antagonist in the seventh season of The Vampire Diaries. He was a vampire who was turned in the early 1500's, and he has been the lover of Lillian Salvatore for over a century and a half. Julian was eventually killed by Rayna Cruz in 1903, and his soul was sealed in the Phoenix Stone in punishment until Lily and the Heretics were able to use the stone to resurrect him in I Carry Your Heart With Me. He is also the person who killed Stefan and Valerie's unborn child, and almost killed Valerie in the process. After Lily died, Julian, who blamed the Salvatore brothers, kills Damon with the Phoenix Sword. After Damon and Stefan are brought back to life, Julian takes amusement in their torments from the Phoenix Stone. After being fed up of Julian and his past actions, Stefan uses Valerie to hold him down with magic, while Stefan then drives a stake through his heart, permanently killing Julian in revenge.
----
* BigBad: Functions as this in the first half of season seven before the three year TimeSkip where Rayna takes over as the big bad.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Averted. He truly seems to care for Lillian and the other Herectics, but later links his life to Lillian to protect himself, before having it unlinked when she kills herself, taunting her about it as she does so.

Valerie Tulle was a member of the Herectics. Valerie, previously on becoming a heretic, was a siphoner who was banished from the Gemini Coven for being an abomination in their eyes. She then became a nurse in a Santarium, where she met the human, who eventually became a vampire, Lily Salvatore. The both of them bonded, and after Lily turned into a vampire, she took the orphan Valerie under her wing. She then sent Valerie to check on the well being of her younger son, Stefan. Valerie and the latter fell in love, and had a brief fling, which ended up with Valerie being pregnant. After that she left with Julian, but after learning of her pregnancy, she tried to leave him and Lily, and to return to Stefan, but Julian found out, and knowing that Valerie would be a distraction to Lily, he beat her until she miscarried. She was desperate, and in deep grief, and so she took her own life, but died with Lily's blood in her system, and so became the first Heretic in existence. She told no one about Julian's misdeeds, and kept the whole incident a secret for over a century and a half. For a few decades, she traveled Europe with the heretics, Julian and Lily, and in 1903, when they all returned to the U.S, the Gemini Coven ambushed all of them, and locked them up in a Prison World for their mass slaughters in Europe.

* SingleTargetSexuality: Mary Louise is the only woman she has ever been with, being a couple for centuries. Also a subversion because unlike Mary she does show interest in other women when they get out of the prison world and shows interest in dating when they are temporarily broken up. It is also implied that she was attracted to Bonnie when they became friends and she even purposely flirts with Bonnie to make Mary jealous.
* TogetherInDeath: She agrees to die with Mary when she crashes the car as she also doesn't want to be apart from her and she was going to die anyway because of her illness.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Just like Mary is protective of her she is also protective of Mary. This shown when even though they were broken up she stabs Stefan with the Phoenix Stone Knife as a result of him kidnapping and torturing Mary in an attempt to find Julian and before this knocks out Bonnie who she was starting to get along with because she assumed that she was in on it.

Valerie Tulle was a member of the Herectics. Valerie, previously on becoming a heretic, was a siphoner who was banished from the Gemini Coven for being an abomination in their eyes. She then became a nurse in a Santarium, where she met the human, who eventually became a vampire, Lily Salvatore. The both of them bonded, and after Lily turned into a vampire, she took the orphan Valerie under her wing. She then sent Valerie to check on the well being of her younger son, Stefan. Valerie and the latter fell in love, and had a brief fling, which ended up with Valerie being pregnant. After that she left with Julian, but after learning of her pregnancy, she tried to leave him and Lily, and to return to Stefan, but Julian found out, and knowing that Valerie would be a distraction to Lily, he beat her until she miscarried. She was desperate, and in deep grief, and so she took her own life, but died with Lily's blood in her system, and so became the first Heretic in existence. She told no one about Julian's misdeeds, and kept the whole incident a secret for over a century and a half. For a few decades, she traveled Europe with the heretics, Julian and Lily, and in 1903, when they all returned to the U.S, the Gemini Coven ambushed all of them, and locked them up in a Prison World for their mass slaughters in Europe.

----
* KilledOffForReal: He is killed by Bonnie and Damon by setting a trap for him and ripping his heart out.
* SacrificialLion: He seems to have been killed off to escalate the conflict between the main characters and the Herectics because before this they were mostly keeping a low profile to avoid attention and weren't really trying to go after the Salvatores because of Lily being their mother and wanting everybody in both her families to get along.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He is killed off in his debut episode, yet he does appear in the flashbacks to the Herectics' past.
