— Lee to Elena in Bloodlines
| ||
Lee is a character who appeared in the eleventh episode of the first season of Template:The Vampire Diaries. He is a vampire who was turned by Lexi Branson, his late girlfriend, many years before Lexi's death, so they could be together forever. When Damon killed Lexi, he sought revenge, but Elena convinced him to honor Lexi by not killing Damon.
He has not been seen on the show ever since his encounter with Damon and Elena. However, it's quite possible that Lee died after Finn Mikaelson, or his brother Kol Mikaelson, were killed by the Mystic Falls Gang (specifically Matt Donovan and Jeremy Gilbert).
Early History
During his human years, he met Lexi Branson and fell in love with her. At first, he was confused about how he felt about her, but eventually came to terms with his feelings towards her. She turned him into a vampire so that they could spend forever together.

Lee trying to kill Damon
Bree called him shortly after Damon and Elena arrived at her bar. When Elena went outside to speak on her phone, he kidnapped her to lead Damon into a trap when he tried to rescue her. He attacked Damon, but Elena begged him to stop, revealing that Lexi had told her about him and, since Lexi was good, he must be too. Lee, in anger, then threw Damon at the wall. Elena thanked him for not killing Damon, but he only said it wasn't for her, and fled.
He hasn't been seen on the show ever since.
