When Esther Mikaelson, the original witch, turns Alaric into an original vampire because of her hatred towards the vampires and with the agenda to kill her children, Alaric loses his humanity. However, when he sustains serious injuries that eventually kill him, he is resurrected back to life by the efforts of Dr. Jo Parker (and surprisingly no magic!).
