She was an Old One, one of the Original vampires—an ancient, vicious monster who’d stalked the night of every continent for countless centuries. She had seen civilizations rise from tiny villages to great cities and then fall into ashes, over and over again.

Elena manages to feel the aura of Celine, and along with Stefan and Meredith finally manage to distract the Old One and destroy her. Later, she was mentioned along with Davos and Klaus when Elena and her friend /allies revealed the truth to Jack.

Finally, in the list of vampire hunter, except for Solomon, all old ones are crossed with other vampires were destroyed.
