Andrew Lees

In the season premiere, Klaus learns that an old vampire friend named Lucien (ANDREW LEES) has arrived in New Orleans with a mysterious agenda involving the Mikaelson’s sire lines.

After discovering that poachers have begun taking out werewolves in the bayou, Elijah and Jackson (recurring guest star Nathan Parsons) grow concerned for Hayley's safety when she fails to show up during the full moon. Meanwhile, Davina, the only one with the answer to Hayley's whereabouts, plots ways to use that to her advantage. Elsewhere, Cami approaches Klaus with her theory on who is behind the series of murders in the French Quarter, while Lucien (recurring guest star Andrew Lees) delivers to Elijah an unsettling warning about the war brewing among the sire lines. Finally, after receiving a dire prophecy about the future of the Mikaelson siblings, Klaus takes extreme measures to determine the validity of this potential impending threat.

With tension running as high as ever, Klaus and Elijah are forced to come together in order to uncover Lucien's (recurring guest star ANDREW LEES) true motives in New Orleans. Cami is caught off-guard when she finds herself face to face with Lucien and is surprised when he reveals some unexpected information about his past with Klaus. Elsewhere, a mysterious figure presents an enticing offer to Marcel, while Hayley turns to an unconventional way of coping with her current situation. Finally, an old acquaintance from Elijah's past arrives in New Orleans and delivers some startling news involving the growing threat to the Mikaelson siblings.

In order to uncover what his old acquaintance Tristan (recurring guest star OLIVER AUCKLAND – Party Tricks) is really up to in New Orleans, Elijah considers attending a gala thrown by a mysterious group of ancient vampires known as the Strix, while Hayley invites herself to attend with him. There, Marcel is approached with an enticing offer made by a mysterious woman named Aya (recurring guest star TRACY IFEACHOR – Strike Back, Crossbones), but he quickly realizes that things are not always what they seem. Elsewhere, when a vital component of Lucien's (recurring guest star ANDREW LEES) plan goes missing, he and Klaus form a tentative alliance in order to find it.

With a dire prophecy looming over them, Klaus and Elijah invite Lucien, Tristan and Aurora to a Thanksgiving gathering in an attempt to negotiate a truce. When Aurora reveals that she has powerful leverage over Klaus, Hayley and Freya take matters into their own hands, leading to a deadly three-way confrontation. Elsewhere, Marcel and Vincent are forced to take drastic measures when they realize Davina may be in over her head, and Cami finds herself face-to-face with a dangerous new threat.
