Dorian Williams
Dorian Williams
Played by: Demetrius Williams
- Badass Normal
- Locked Out of the Loop: Alaric does not inform him about the existence of the supernatural and does not tell him why he wants him to hit a tuning fork every few hours on an intercom. He also doesn't inform him about his belief in Georgie being a Siren when he tells him to send out a missing person report on her after these incidents result in Sybil getting away; however, he decides to come clean with Dorian, who becomes a valuable ally to the heroes for the rest of the season.
- Muggle: One of the human characters of season 8.
- Number Two: He is effectively Alaric's second-in-command among the faculty at the Salvatore School.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Justified because of not being informed about why he is doing it, but he stops hitting the tuning fork when he gets a call about the police finding Georgie's body and leaves to identify her, resulting in Sybil being able to escape from her cell since the fork was no longer blocking her powers. Her being left unsupervised because of everybody taking time to mourn Tyler.
- You Killed My Father: After Stefan is rendered human after being forcibly given the Cure, Dorian remembers that, during his days as Klaus' henchmen, Stefan murdered his father and little sister then compelled him to forget the experience. Dorian tries to murder Stefan in revenge but finds that he can't go through with it and tries to save his life after he shot him.

Jade
Played by: Giorgia Whigham
Jade is a vampire who used to attend the school and babysit Josie when she was younger, before being imprisoned by Alaric in the prison world.
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: Jade is shown to be in some kind of relationship with Kai, who is one of the evilest characters in the franchise, while they were in the prison world.
- Big Damn Kiss: Before Jade leaves the school, she makes sure Josie is okay after Josie breaks her leg and the two share a passionate kiss.
- Put on a Bus: Jade leaves the school in season 3, to see what else the world has to offer and hasn’t been heard from since.
- Ship Tease: One of the first things that we see of Jade after she returns from the prison world is her and Josie sharing a sex dream. In the noir simulation, Jade and Josie’s fake identities dated before and after that Jade admits that she has been attracted to Josie since seeing her in the prison world. They also share a kiss before Jade leaves the school for good.

- Abusive Parents

- Challenging the Bully: Finch doesn't stand for Jed's arrogant behavior and challenges him for Alpha despite not really wanting to be it. This leads to Finch becoming something of a Number Two to Jed.
- Mentor in Queerness: Finch becomes this for Jed when he realizes he likes Ben.
- Number Two: After narrowly losing her Alpha challenge against Jed (which she would've easily won if she truly wanted to), she effectively becomes the pack's unofficial Beta, acting as Jed's second-in-command who typically leads the pack whenever he's not around.
- Repressed Memories
- Train-Station Goodbye: Although at a bus stop when Josie leaves Mystic Falls.
