“ | It's the blood, the bloodline. It has to be. Think about it. Finn turned Sage, Sage turned Troy. They're all part of the same vampire bloodline that originated with Finn. | ” |
A Sireline is a figurative bloodline of vampires or hybrids and the chain of those by whom they have been sired. If the originator of a bloodline is permanently killed with a White Oak Stake, or by other means, everyone in their bloodline dies within a few hours. It was a powerful and sophisticated link added to the immortality spell by Esther as a method of further protecting her children.
Rebekah and Kol are the two living Originals with and without a sireline, respectively. As such, all remaining vampires are either from Klaus' unlinked sireline or from Rebekah's sireline. Following his resurrection, it remains unknown if Kol has turned any other vampires. There is yet to be any vampires sired from an Enhanced or an Upgraded Original vampire.

Hope's Bloodline (Unsired)[]
- For all intents and purposes, Hope is Nature's loophole and does not have a sireline. Vampires, rather hybrids, sired from her blood are considered 'unsired'. It remains unlikely she would ever have a sireline since it was a facet of Esther's Immortality Spell.
- Note: Hybrids are listed here as if in the manner that Hope actually had a sireline; however, this is to catalog those turned by her blood. The hybrids currently listed were turned before Hope became a fully activated tribrid. Hope has yet to create any new hybrids post transition.

Trivia[]
- Mikael was the first Original vampire destroyed. However, it is never mentioned if he sired any vampires, nor is there any mention of the destruction of vampires in a sudden and mysterious way. It is assumed that he never sired any, given he despised vampires, even after becoming a vampire hunter, and his preference to feed off of vampires.
- An Original's spirit has to die in order to kill off their bloodline. Even though Klaus' body was supposedly destroyed in The Departed, his soul was in Tyler Lockwood's body, so his bloodline remained unharmed.
- However it is possible, that since Klaus' body was not destroyed, that is the reason his bloodline remained intact. This seems to be the case as Esther wished to destroy Rebekah's body after she was jumped into Eva's body.
- Julie Plec confirmed that Klaus is the origin of the bloodline Stefan, Damon, Caroline and Elena are from.[6]
- It is possible to unlink a vampire from their bloodline using magic. This was successfully performed on Klaus by Davina. For reasons unknown, Klaus never sired new vampires after his sireline was severed.
- According to Lucien, vampires from all over the world heard that an attack was made on Klaus' life by Dahlia. Lucien also stated that each of the sirelines were at war and an attack may be made on either of their lives.
- Kol is the only Original who's first sired vampire or sireline members are still unknown. Following Kol's resurrection, it is not known whether he's sired any new vampires.
