Who would have thought, even in a million years, that there could be someone so powerful that even Klaus would run with his tail between his legs? The Vampire Diaries star, Nina Dobrev, dishes out in an interview what we can expect from this mysterious Big Bad. Just to warn you, she doesn’t give much away.

Dobrev spoke to MTV about the new villain. “Do you guys remember when Damon was the big, bad vampire, and then Katherine came and trumped him and stepped on his toes? Then Klaus came and made me look like I was a mouse comparatively? And now, apparently, there’s someone even bigger and badder than Klaus. And I just found out now, I as Nina, just found out who that is,” Dobrev teased. “But the audience, if that gives you any hint, will not find out for a little while.”

My big guess is that it is Klaus’ father. We know the two did not have a happy relationship, and for the new vamp to be more powerful than Klaus he would need to have been around longer. Since Klaus is part of the original vampire family, it has to be either one of his brothers or dear old daddy. With Klaus’ mother cast recently, it would make sense that dad would pop his head in.

Dobrev had one final thing to say about the vampire: “He’s big, bad and scary, and like every other person on The CW, is very attractive.” Of course he is.
