His mission is to help these students change the legacy of what it means to be supernatural in this world. But theirs a dark a dark flipside to that mission. He has also developed a surrogate father relationship with Hope Mikaelson, whose traumatic life provides them a common point of understanding.

Alaric is haunted by the legacy of the students he couldn't save and the sacrifices he's had to make along the way to safeguard the school. Even if he learns how to be the leader the student's need, he may already be too late to stop the dark events that have been put in motion.[2]
