Gudren was the handmaiden of Katherine von Swartzschild.

Character History

At the age of fifteen, Katherine became very ill and it was presumed that her death was imminent. Unwilling to watch her suffer from her illness, Gudren paid a desperate visit to an Old One named Klaus and asked him to cure her. Although Katherine had no say in the matter, Klaus agreed to help by transforming her into a vampire.

After the feud between Damon, Katherine, and Stefan, Gudren helped Katherine fake her own death.

Trivia
