Jeremy Gilbert was the adoptive brother and biological cousin of Elena Gilbert and is a medium, as well as one of the Five. His best friends are Matt Donovan and Bonnie Bennett, who's also his girlfriend. Since he came back to life in the Season Four finale, he was living in the Salvatore Boarding House with his sister (when she's not at college) and her boyfriend, Damon Salvatore since their house was destroyed by her after his death.
Prior to the beginning of the series, his parents died in a tragic car accident that Elena managed to survive thanks to a vampire, Stefan Salvatore. As a way of coping with the accident, he started dealing and using drugs but soon stopped after the death of his first girlfriend, Vicki Donovan, supposedly because of an overdose. He overdosed on pills after drinking vampire blood in the hope of becoming a vampire thus being able to turn off his emotions. He did this following the death of his second girlfriend, Anna. However his attempt to become a vampire failed and the blood healed the damage the pills did.
He started a romantic relationship with Bonnie Bennett which ended after he kissed Anna. Jeremy was shot by Sheriff Forbes after Damon dodged the bullet and was revived by Bonnie, who is a witch and has connections to dead witches with the power to bring him back. However the spell that caused him to be revived gave him the power to see ghosts and he was haunted by Vicki and Anna. He later went to live with family friends in Denver, after being compelled by Klaus to stand in front of a speeding car. Elena feared for his safety and got Damon to compel him to leave. He returned to Mystic Falls after Elena and Damon went to get him once Klaus found out where he was. He was turned into a vampire hunter and became a member of The Five. After helping Shane free Silas, he was forced by Katherine Pierce to raise the immortal, who then drained him of his blood and snapped his neck. He was able to survive numerous deaths due to the Gilbert Ring, but since he turned into a supernatural being, this death would last. His body was burned inside the Gilbert House because Elena could no longer keep the house after losing the only family she had left. So she decided to burn the house down to make it a good cover story for Jeremy's death.
Jeremy was brought back to life by Bonnie in Graduation, and since then, lived in the Salvatore Boarding House until his death at Markos's hand in End of Days.
Jeremy was a member of the Gilbert Family, and one of the members of The Five.
Early life
Jeremy was born to Grayson and Miranda Gilbert in Mystic Falls on October 13, 1993. The two had always wanted a child but adopted a baby girl, Elena, two years prior to that, who actually is his biological cousin as they fake the adoption. She is actually the daughter of John Gilbert and his high school girlfriend Isobel better known for being Alaric Saltzman's wife. As a young teenager, Jeremy was gifted with the talent to draw, however after both of his parents died, Jeremy became severely depressed and started using drugs and drinking continuously. He briefly had a sexual relationship with Vicki Donovan, although she later broke up with him and started dating Tyler Lockwood.
The Vampire Diaries
In I Know What You Did Last Summer, Jeremy has been keeping Bonnie's death a secret, pretending to be her by forwarding e-mails, postcards and texts to Elena, Caroline and her father, and doing his best to return to his daily life. Elena goes off to college, leaving Jeremy under Damon's care, but things go awry when someone provokes him at school and a fight breaks out, resulting in him getting expelled. Damon fixes the situation by compelling the principal to give Jeremy a suspension instead.
Supposedly, when "Stefan" returns back to Mystic Falls, Jeremy immediately gets a bad feeling about him and he and Bonnie realize that he is the immortal Silas and he wants a newly-human Katherine. Upon Damon's orders, Jeremy takes Katherine and drives her as far as he can away from Silas, but Damon later convinces Jeremy to take the former vampire back to town. Before this happens, Katherine causes an accident and flees the scene, leaving a badly-injured Jeremy to die. Damon finds him and gives Jeremy some of his blood, which successfully brings him back.
In True Lies, Bonnie is recollecting to Jeremy how she saw her father being murdered by Silas and tells him that the whole town is on the lookout for Katherine, as they are under Silas' mind control. Jeremy and Matt manage to find Katherine before a woman under the influence of Silas can get her to the immortal and they arrive at a gas station where she tries to escape, but Jeremy stops her. At night, Silas tracks down the trio and after Matt is briefly killed by him, Jeremy engages in a fight with him, where Jeremy is stabbed. Katherine is just in time to save Jeremy and shoots Silas, giving them enough time to make off with Matt's body and escape. Jeremy sees Bonnie and goes after her, where she confides in him that she isn't ready to be dead. Jeremy tells Bonnie that he is going to be there for her and promises to keep the cover story going.
In For Whom the Bell Tolls, Jeremy doing shirtless push-ups on a rug at Salvatore Mansion. Bonnie likes to watch, too. "You working out is my main source of entertainment," she told him. He's just working off some extra adrenaline. "And every girl on the other side thanks you for it." Matt phoned Jeremy to come to his place. Matt who'd tried contacting Bonnie for help and she has not returned his calls to help figure out what Nadia has done but Jeremy cannot help.
Jeremy did his best to break Bonnie's death to Damon gently. "Don't you say it, Jeremy. Don't you dare," Damon pleaded. Damon didn't want to hear Jeremy say she was dead. "Bonnie's dead." Damon was pissed. When he walked toward Jeremy, it looked like he was going to punch Jeremy, instead, he embraced him.
Jeremy, Caroline, Damon, Matt, and Elena had a service for Bonnie in the woods. They all placed objects on her makeshift grave: Jeremy had a photo. Caroline had a pompom. Matt had the whistle. Elena had feathers. Damon had the grimoire. Bonnie was there. She said they needed this, and so did she. Jeremy picked up the bell. She told Jeremy to tell them that even though they couldn't see her, she's been there the whole time. She's watched them have the summer of their lives, and she's not going anywhere. Jeremy continued to relay her messages as she stood next to Elena, Matt, and Caroline and said goodbye. "This is good. This is all I wanted. I'll be okay. We'll all be okay," Bonnie told Jeremy. And they held hands.
In Monster's Ball, at the Salvatore House, Damon is filling Jeremy in on a plan he has after learning of Bonnie's death. As Damon is discussing Bonnie, Jeremy tells him that Bonnie is sitting on the other sofa, who waves to the oblivious Damon. Damon tells him that since Bonnie died and he knows of another supernatural being who wants to die, nature needs a balance. Jeremy is clearly confused and demands to know what he is talking about although when Damon says "something Elena doesn't need to know", he immediately knows his plan and is outraged he wants to work with Silas.
Damon explains that for Silas to die, he has to be mortal and if he's mortal, he would be a witch capable of being stuck on the Other Side. Jeremy retorts that his last attempt at bringing down the Other Side failed before turning to listen to what Bonnie has to say before relaying to Damon that Bonnie thinks Silas may want to destroy the Other Side completely. After the scenes switch between Damon and Silas to the Salvatore House, Damon quizzes would it be possible for Silas to cast a spell which when he dies, would revive Bonnie, Bonnie says it would be and when questioned if she would be in, Jeremy lies and says she would, despite her saying she wants no part in the plan.
Later on, Bonnie is berating Jeremy over his decision to lie and tells him to call Damon back. Jeremy tells her that its okay for him to play Witch translator for her, but when it's something he wants for her, although Bonnie interrupts him saying Silas is too dangerous. She argues that she brought him back because Elena needed him and that if they abuse magic there is a price. He states that there is nothing worse than their current situation, and asks her to let Damon try and bring her back.
In Handle with Care, Jeremy first enters the Salvatore living area aiming a crossbow at Silas. Silas knows he is behind him without turning around and taunts him over his relationship with Bonnie, Elena calms them saying they both want the same thing; Silas dead, and Bonnie alive before Damon tells him to put down the crossbow. Jeremy refuses to believe that Silas would bring Bonnie back "out of the goodness of his heart" and lifts the crossbow back up to Silas after he says he is "kinda a monster." Silas says he is tired of being ganged up on and ignites flames on his fingers to warn Elena and Jeremy off. When they start to head out of the Boarding House, Silas tells Jeremy to grab a couple of crossbars from the garage.
Some time later, Jeremy is in the car with Silas and Damon when Elena calls and tells them she is going to find Stefan. Silas cracks a joke regarding the murder of the Mayor and Jeremy tells him he is a dick, clearly unamused. Once they reach the warehouse, Jeremy is confused about the Anchor, where it would be located and what it looks like. When Jeremy is searching around crates in the warehouse, Bonnie appears asking what the crate did to him. She tells him she didn't want to miss the excitement as it's not everyday a girl comes back to life and he warns her against jinxing it. Bonnie says she's being realistic, still thoughtful over the consequences of her death bringing Jeremy back to life, and Jeremy tells her to have faith. Jeremy is touched when she says she would gladly stand there a hundred times over in order to have him alive, he touches her face softly and says before the end of the day, she'll be able to feel his touch.
The scene switches between Damon, finding out that Elena is in danger from Qetsiyah, and him having told Jeremy that they have to kill Silas as soon as possible in order to save her. Jeremy refuses, saying he is the only hope to bring Bonnie back to life. Damon however says the plan is off, not risking Elena's life saying if Elena dies then there would be another person less at Bonnie's welcome home party, leaving Jeremy conflicted and devastated. Bonnie soon appears, telling him it's okay, that she would would gladly stay dead if it would mean her friends live. Jeremy says they were so close before Bonnie smiles and tells him to go kill Silas.
Damon is on the phone with Qetsiyah who gives him clues about why the Travelers ambushed them whilst trying to kill Silas, and hints what the Anchor is and it's location.
Damon pieces things together and calls her a genius, confusing Jeremy. Towards the end of the episode, Damon and Jeremy are sat in the Salvatore Living room, drinking, when Stefan and Elena walk through the front door. Damon is surprised Stefan is in the same house as them tonight before he and Jeremy raise a glass to "victory in a day otherwise marred by failure." Elena glares at Jeremy due to him drinking alcohol and Jeremy says they failed to get Bonnie back, so he gets a free pass. Bonnie appears sadly and tells Jeremy to tell Elena that it's for the best, Jeremy denies this immediate, that it's not okay. Elena and Damon realize Bonnie is there and Elena says they will continue trying.
In Death and the Maiden, Jeremy is first seen in the Salvatore Boarding House, he approaches Bonnie who is standing before a window. Jeremy tells her he thinks it'll be harder than expected to keep the human Amara alive. Bonnie turns and begins to question what would happen if Amara died, if the Other Side was destroyed and whether it would hurt. Jeremy wants to tell her three things however she cuts him off, not wanting to hear a "goodbye speech" and he denies this, gratefully thanking her for giving up her life for him and that he knows she will always be there one way or another. As Jeremy is about to tell her another one of the "three things", but she stops him expressing there will be another time for him to tell her the things he wants to say.
Later on, Jeremy and Bonnie enter the Salvatore Basement and approach the tied up Amara, Jeremy is carrying a plate of food, asking rhetorically how the "mental patient" is doing. Bonnie thinks that being alone for so many years pushed her over the edge. He steps up to Amara who fearfully tries to back away, he puts the plate on the floor and tells her it's only dinner. Amara says she knows him, he is the Hunter that Silas killed, confused how he is alive before demanding to know if Bonnie was the witch who brought him back. Bonnie is shocked that Amara can actually see her, Amara pointing out she has eyes, although doesn't know the difference between the living and the dead anymore. Jeremy says it's weird, but Bonnie has a plan.
Jeremy is talking with Elena and Damon, explaining to them that Amara is able to touch and speak to both the living and the dead. He says that they could make Bonnie the Anchor, and Elena agrees, they only need somebody to cast the spell. Sometime later, in the living room, Bonnie approaches Jeremy from behind, who is waiting for Qetsiyah to complete the spell to switch the Anchor. Bonnie sadly tells him that Amara is dying and that they don't have much time. Qetsiyah completes the spell, and as Bonnie is asking Jeremy to tell her the third thing, they admit they love each other and Jeremy isn't ready to let her go yet. He lifts his hand to her face and they are both stunned that they can feel each other.
Bonnie and Jeremy are stood in front of the fire place afterwards, and Bonnie tells him she missed being warm, that she was never warm on the Other Side. They take each others hand as Jeremy says he missed holding her hand. He says he's never going to let her go again before they kiss.
In Dead Man on Campus, at Whitmore College, Bonnie and Jeremy are situated on a bench kissing, when Jeremy breaks apart, mocking Bonnie's excuse to Elena that she was "registering for classes" to instead come and see him. Bonnie says she doesn't want to rub it in Elena's face in their first day in the dorm room and Jeremy then offers to take her back to his place. Bonnie laughs that it is Damon's house and sarcastically adds they should just have sex in the bathtub and let Katherine watch. They kiss and Jeremy compliments her new hair style, and she turns away smiling however stops when she sees an elderly woman staring directly at her from ahead. Jeremy asks if she's okay and Bonnie quickly excuses herself to go to class, saying she will meet him later on.
Jeremy approaches Bonnie at her welcome back party in the dorm and touches her shoulder, bringing her back to the living after she communicates with the elderly woman staring at her beforehand. He says he had to wrestle Elena for two shots before asking if she's okay, noticing her blank stare. He tells her she needs to come with him, and that they are going to "register for classes."
In a hotel room some time later, Bonnie is trying to light candles unsuccessfully with a lighter when Jeremy appears and tells her to step away from the candles. He grabs her and kisses her, lifting her onto the bed. Bonnie rips off his shirt but stops in horror, seeing Jesse standing behind them. She stops Jeremy, saying that she thinks Jesse is dead, Jeremy doesn't see him and is confused but runs to her as she collapses in pain when Jesse passes through her. Once the pain stops, Jeremy demands to know what that was and how often it happens and she reveals she is the Anchor, every supernatural being passes through her although doesn't respond how often. He asks why she didn't tell him, but she says they knew there would be consequences, but they are here now touching each other, before telling him to kiss her. She says any consequence is worth it, before they have sex for the first time.

In Total Eclipse of the Heart, Jeremy is with Bonnie at the Whitmore College dorms, after Bonnie convinced him to attend the "Bitter Ball", although he mocks the idea of not being able to attend the dance together because he is her date. He suggests they get a hotel room but Bonnie mutters Caroline would kill her, Jeremy says they're happy and should be able to act like it before they kiss. Damon then appears telling them he's there to kidnap Jeremy, although they don't believe him at first until he refuses to let Jeremy past. Bonnie demands Damon let him go but Damon mocks her lack of magic ability before continuing that he needs a witch, and is kidnapping Jeremy for leverage for Bonnie to find one.
Jeremy rebuffs immediately, sure that Damon wouldn't hurt him because of Elena however Damon laughs, saying he's "been there, done that, wrote the country song" in regards to Elena hurting him before Enzo walks in asking if Bonnie has agreed to the plan. She demands to know who he is and he replies he's the one who gets people to do things they don't want to do before grabbing Jeremy and squeezing his head until Bonnie relents. Later on, Bonnie is trying to find a witch and informing Stefan of Jeremy's situation, showing him an image of a tied up Jeremy from Enzo and that if she doesn't find a witch to help by midnight, Jeremy is dead.

In The Beginning of the End, Jeremy first appears making out with Bonnie when Elena walks up on them, Elena apologizes and asks Bonnie if they can talk for a moment.

Jeremy is not seen after this but he is killed by Nadia during Elena's hallucnation.
In End of Days, Jeremy is present while Bonnie was speaking with her grandmother's spirit and asks Bonnie what is she planning to do; Bonnie tells him she wants his opinion since her grandmother told her to go to Qetsiyah and Silas since they've run out of options.

Jeremy is deeply affected by the loss of his parents and he originally dealt with this through drinking and drugs, relying on them and his love for Vicki to keep him happy. Once Vicki was staked by Stefan, Elena told Damon to wipe his memory so he could forget about the pain of seeing Vicki's death. This drastically changed Jeremy's personality: he stopped using drugs and he is more focused on his work. Damon explained this as being an effect of him taking away his suffering, though Jeremy later claimed he still felt empty. Thanks to his ancestor's journal, Jeremy grew very interested in local vampire legends, befriending Anna, who also seemed to share his passion. He gradually learned that she herself was a vampire and became obsessed with wanting her to turn him into one. However, his love for Vicki was still his primary focus as he thought he could live with her forever. However, he fell in love with Anna and was shattered yet again by grief when his Uncle John killed her.
After discovering the existence of vampires, Jeremy became more involved in his sister's and the Salvatore's worlds. He would help them in their efforts against Katherine, always looking out for his friends, showing a vast and sudden maturity that Bonnie Bennett took notice of and grew attracted to. He started a relationship with Bonnie, citing how he wasn't a little boy anymore. His life was shaken yet again by personal loss at the deaths of his Uncle John and Aunt Jenna before he, himself, was accidentally killed, only being brought back by Bonnie's magic. The consequences of his resurrection, however, were far from pleasant. He was able to see ghosts of his dead girlfriends, Vicki and Anna, who he grew haunted by. Becoming secretive and turning to drugs yet again, Jeremy found himself confused on what to do.
When the ghosts were all sent away, Jeremy proved that he had grown quite accustomed to living the dangerous life he'd been living the past year, beheading a hybrid on his front step without a second thought. He also showed great disdain and annoyance at all vampires, even Stefan, blaming them for the troubles he'd had in life, going so far as to try and forcibly get his sister out of Mystic Falls. Once a member of The Five, Jeremy gained the hunter's instinct that all of the members has. It made him unconsciously cold and hateful toward all vampires, giving him the programmed mindset to be able to kill them with more efficiency. This made him dangerous to his friends and family, who worked on removing those instincts so he'd at least be able to avoid killing his friends. Jeremy is shown to struggle with this instinct prior to his death but managed to keep it mostly under control.
Jeremy has consistently shown himself to be very brave. Often, he took on difficult and dangerous tasks without complaint, and is extremely loyal to his friends and family. He is also a talented artist, but since the arrival of the vampires to Mystic Falls, that skill has been sidelined in exchange for his nature fighting talents.
Physical Appearance
Jeremy.
Jeremy is a handsome young man, standing at 6' foot tall, he has a well-built form and possesses dark brown hair and eyes to match. In the first two season's, Jeremy could be considered "cute" with a lean body, however as seen in the fourth season, his body is much more defined and muscular.
Jeremy's style over the seasons has changed somewhat.
During season one, due to the loss of his parents and his drug addiction, he usually was seen wearing black clothing, hoodies and dark jeans. Post-Season one, his clothing style became much more relaxed, seen wearing lighter colored clothing and wearing a tux for special occasions. His dark hair was originally short, slightly spiked which grew into long bangs, however in the later two seasons, has returned to it's original short brown cut.
