Rumor to have a new villain in the mystic falls and it will be shown on the vampire diaries season 5 episode 17. The TVD fans are still hanging up with Enzo having a bromance with Damon the world of the TVD has the new upcoming villain in the next episode of the series this coming February 6, 2014 and it is named Markos. He is described as charismatic but imposing leader from a faraway land”. So, we still have some time to spend with this current story arc before the next baddie enters our narrative atmosphere. But, be warned: Markos is coming.
I wonder why if Markos will come to Mystic falls alone but based what I have read he will have a network or minions which they call them the followers. “He’s super dark, but people can’t help but be drawn to him, and he’s worshipped by his followers.” We’re eager to see this kind of villainous storyline play out. Most of TVD’s villains have operated solo or, in the Mikaelsons’ case, in families. It sounds like Markos will have a huge group of people at his disposal.
The traveler is one of the confusing story in TVD as the new villain is coming are they related with each other. The mysterious travelers which is the subgroup for the witches including Nadia, Amara and Silas is the part of it. . They have been the lingering, nefarious force at the periphery of Season 5 thus far, and it sounds like they might finally come into focus with this Markos character. Could he be the leader of the Travelers? The descriptor “worshipped by his followers” certainly seems to suggest so. As does the hint that he hails from a “faraway land.” Eastern Europe isn’t that far, but we suppose it’s all relative when most TVD action takes place in Virginia.
We’re also interested in this speculative theory because it would give Nadia something to do, even after Katherine’s assumed death in this week’s 100th episode. With Katherine gone, there isn’t much reason for her to stick around unless she is a there on Traveler business or betrays her Traveler brethren to protect Matt and his friends. Either way, she’s invested in the plot moving forward.
