'The Vampire Diaries' Death Toll: Characters we've loved and lost

We loved him because: He was hot. Our love ends there. This psycho was so determined to find Tyler and the Salvatores and avenge Mason's death that he put Caroline in a cage and tortured her. Caroline. As if that wasn't enough, he later went after Elena, horror-movie style, to try to break the nonexistent sun and moon curse.

We lost him because: Did we mention that he went after Elena? When you do that, you get your heart ripped out by a Salvatore. Specifically, Stefan, this time.
