![]() ![]() ![]() Damon was the only living Augustine vampire until Gone Girl, when Katherine Pierce, a Passenger in Elena's body, injected herself (and, by proxy, Elena) with Wes' new version of the Ripper Compound, which had been laced with Werewolf Venom extracted by the recently bitten Nadia Petrova prior to her death. Wes injected Damon with the compound in Total Eclipse of the Heart, who then involuntarily became Wes' Patient Zero. When she was rescued before he could give it to her, he continued his research before eventually found a new potential Augustine vampire in Damon Salvatore. However, Jesse was killed shortly after he was remade into an Augustine vampire, and when Wes became impatient with how long it took to condition vampires to be like Jesse, (a process which took at least two weeks) he created what became known as the Ripper Compound, with the intention of using it against Elena Gilbert. Wes' ultimate goal was for vampires to fatally feed on each other until the species killed itself entirely. Wes' intention in creating this kind of Augustine vampire was to eventually make all vampires crave the blood of their own kind, which would then make human blood no longer a satisfying food source from them and would subsequently protect all humans from becoming their food in the process. ![]() However, the first vampire to be turned into a cannibalistic Augustine vampire was Wes Maxfield's laboratory assistant, Jesse, who he conditioned to crave only vampire blood over the course of several weeks. Whitmore and the other Augustine physicians research ways human medicine could be advanced through the vampires' regenerative healing ability and their blood, which can heal any wound in a human (so long as they're still alive) and can cure many illnesses and conditions. During his seventy-plus years in captivity, Lorenzo was subjected to all manner of experimentation, including having portions of his organs removed, in order to help Dr. The first Augustine vampire to be referred to as such in the series was Lorenzo, an experimental test subject of the Augustine Society from 1943 to 2011 who was introduced in the episode Handle with Care, though he was not identified by name until The Cell. However, due to the experimentations by Wes Maxfield, Augustine Vampires eventually became their own sub-set within the vampire race following Wes' creation of the infamous Ripper Virus, a chemical compound which turned the infected vampire into a cannibalistic Ripper with an insatiable, ravenous hunger for the blood of other vampires. Initially the term Augustine Vampire referred to a normal vampire who has been captured and made a test subject to the many experiments carried out by the Augustine Society. Wes Maxfield to Damon Salvatore in No ExitĪugustine Vampires were an artificially created sub-species of vampires who's major difference from regular vampires lay in their feeding habits and sustenance requirements. ![]()
