Klaus' baby, Hope Mikaelson, is sent away for her protection, with her death being faked to ensure no one comes looking for her. In reality, Klaus entrusts his daughter to his sister, Rebekah.
The Precarious Situation of Klaus' Daughter
From the moment of her birth, Klaus' daughter faced immense danger. Klaus himself articulated the dire situation, stating she had "inherited all of our enemies with none of our defenses." This immediate threat necessitated an extraordinary measure to safeguard her life from various factions within the supernatural world.
The Elaborate Plan to Protect Hope
To combat the numerous threats targeting the newborn, a strategic plan was devised by Klaus, his mother, and Elijah. The core objectives of this plan were:
- Sending her away: To remove her from the immediate dangers and the ongoing conflicts that the family was embroiled in. This ensured she would be far from the chaos while they "clean up the mess."
- Faking her death: This crucial step was taken to create the illusion that she was no longer a threat or target. By making it appear as though she had died, they aimed to deter enemies from pursuing her, ensuring her ultimate safety by erasing her from their radar.
Hope's True Fate: Under Rebekah's Care
Despite the public facade of her death, Klaus made a heartbreaking decision born out of love and necessity. He personally handed over his daughter to his sister, Rebekah, entrusting her with Hope's care and upbringing. This ensured that Hope would be raised away from the constant dangers of the supernatural world that her family was embroiled in, under the protection of a trusted family member who could provide a safe and stable environment.
This strategic move protected Hope from a multitude of adversaries who would undoubtedly seek to harm her, allowing her to live a life away from the immediate conflict and giving her family time to address their numerous enemies.
