Sebastian is a vampire who made his debut on the second episode of the second season of Legacies. He is described as being a vampire who lived in the 'golden age' of their species.
Early Life[]
He was sold at the age of eight by his parents to pirates. He states that he would try to escape when they would arrive at a port, but would always be found. It is also revealed that the pirates were vampires.
Sebastian is an old vampire who has been alive for over six hundred years. He describes having lived in the golden ages of vampirism; times when vampires were not afraid to feed on humans. He states that men trembled at the mention of his name.
At some point around 1585–1590, he feed on and terrorized the settlers of Roanoke — he fed on so many humans that it was no longer for hunger and it was for mere sport, so much so that cobblestones ran red with blood. In Roanoke, there was a powerful witch, named Cassandra, who came to be his great love. She gave him a token to protect him from the colony leadership as they had asked Cassandra to find the monster that was terrorizing them. Cassandra however did love him and summoned something even worse. She summoned a Croatoan - something that would ferret out the lies that the Puritan hypocrites were concealing from the rest of the village. Something to keep the leadership from finding him. The Croatoan
however went crazy. When he found out what Cassandra was plotting, he tried to stop her because she was keeping his secret and feared that she'd become a target. To further keep Sebastian safe, she desiccated him. In that state, he watched the Croatoan tear her limb from limb before she could dispel it. Unable to help her, she died.
He remained imprisoned and desiccated in the coffin for the next four hundred eighty-three years.[1]
Roanoke Colony(Early 1600s-Late 1600s[]
During this time Sebastian and his older brother Darius would go on to kill the early settlers and people of the Roanoke Colony. This killing would eventually not become about feeding anymore and would become just killing for mere sport. Eventually, this would drive the Roanoke Colony to Mass extinction and eradication, until it became known as Dare County, North Carolina.

She assumes he must be new, but questions who he is given that she knows all of the incoming students. He asks her where he is, clearly confused. She tells him they're at the Old Mill, explaining that they are at the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted. This surprises him as he didn't know it was a school. She attempts to help him when he becomes unsteady, and he warns her to stay away from him.
She later uses a locator spell to track him, which prompts him to realize that she is a witch. He warns her to stop trying to locate him as he is not good for her, but she later tells MG that she has fallen for him, despite his warnings.
