Beings from earth are known as Terrans. This includes both humans and supernaturals. The Congregation is the ruling council of the Night World. It includes Vampires, Fae, werewolves, witches, wizards, shifters, and others. They usually only convene when something threatens their collective existence, particularly exposure.

Like lycanthropy, vampirism can occasionally have an 'odd' effect on it's recipients. In the First Generation, following the Originals, who were the first 'sired' vampires, one such person who was extremely handsome on the outside, but rotten on the inside, had his physical form mutated to resemble his true nature, becoming a monstrous abomination who could not hide his vampiric aspects like his brethren could, leading to the rise of the Nosferatu bloodline. Powerful vampires of certain bloodlines can actually tap into blood magic.

At some point, Gabriel is forced to turn Josie into a vampire. Heretic Josie's dark side is known as Black Magik. Practitioners of magic usually dislike being referred to as magicians, instead preferring the term mage. Specific types of magi include witches, warlocks, and wizards, the latter being extremely rare. Gabriel can conjure and control Hellfire, which is extremely difficult and dangerous to master, and is also to use Soulfire, meaning that he can channel his own soul to power his spells and achieve new effects.

Vampires are capable of sexual reproduction but it is extremely rare. Young male vampires can still breed the normal way with both female vampires and humans, but it is nigh-impossible and this ability diminishes with age as the venom within their bodies become more potent, while extremely powerful and ancient female vampires can actually manipulate their own biology and use the stored DNA of a male, either blood or semen, to produce her own child. However, vampire mothers rarely survive birth, and many are forced to take their own life in order to save their child. It was originally believed that werewolves are incapable of reproducing with another vampire. Hayley Marshall was the first and only to ever do so. Vampires can reproduce with witches, resulting in the creation of Brightborn. However, should that witch possess a werewolf gene, then they are allegedly incompatible.

Pureblood vampires are just like ordinary humans until reaching a certain age. However, they are always very attractive and never get sick. Upon reaching the "Awakening", usually in their mid-to-late teens, their hunger for blood grows and they begin to develop supernatural powers. The Dragonborn are an ancient race of magical beings who were born with the blood and soul of a dragon, allowing them to transform into an actual dragon, command lesser beasts and wield powerful magicks. It is said that the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son who is also a witch, will be born a wizard. Wizards are extraordinarily rare and mysterious beings.

Lamia is an ancient and phenomenally powerful witch, daughter of Lilith and Chthon. Sometime after his murder of his brother, Cain came upon Lilith, who he impregnated with the Original Pack of werewolves. Dracian is an ancient immortal, alongside Varkis, Saracen, and Satrina. Lilith is said to be the mother of the Shedim, fathered by Adam, which were later cast into Hell before even Lucifer was. There are various vampiric species, such as the Nosferatu.

Angels and Demons are opposing forces, with the latter hailing from Hell Dimensions while the former inhabit the Higher Planes. There are many hell dimensions, the most infamous of which being the biblical Hell, as there are many Higher Planes. The metaphysical walls that separate different universes and dimensions from one another are guarded by the Hellhounds, powerful and monstrous beings who are immune to the powers of witches and possibly other supernaturals, yet a specific breed of demonic Hellhounds enforce the laws of Hell.

The Upside-Down Man is an extremely powerful entity of pure malevolence from another dimension. It is the true source of vampirism and the so-called First Evil. It's minions include the Harbingers of Death, commonly known as the Bringers, malevolent human mystics who share a singular hive mind and possess unquestionable loyalty to their evil master. Their produce a constant aura of corruption, which renders both the environment and living beings sterile.

Stefan survived and married Caroline, and also helps her and Alaric at the school. He is quite close with his stepdaughters. Lilith is one of the first humans on earth, and later became the first witch when she was led to the Wellspring, the source of all magic, by one of her angelic lovers, possibly Lucifer. There she bathed in it's magical waters and was changed alongside a man she brought there, Arcadius, Adam's long-lost twin brother, who became her consort and father of the first Cradle Witches on earth. Lilith became a powerful immortal being, mothering countless monsters, but her body was later detached from her soul and imprisoned within the Leviathan Sea in Purgatory, while her soul was taken to Hell, where she became a powerful demonic sorceress. She then created the Lilum.

It is learned that the Scarlet Witch is not born but forged through pain and loss. Gabriel was powerful enough to inadvertently tap into his inherent bond to the Dark God and evolve into the Scarlet Witch himself. His usage of this power awakens Chthon, who later possesses the youth to serve as his vessel.
