Alaric Saltzman, the history teacher at Mystic High, encounters death for the first time when he gets stabbed with a Stake by Damon. He however gets resurrected from the dead using the ring Isobel gave him. The ring is enchanted with a spell that resurrects the wearer from death but with a catch - they died of supernatural causes. Since he was killed by a vampire, the ring worked its magic but the resurrection took a toll on his body.
