Fadzai and Sandile merge minds over the sinister siphon and Gemini witch, Malachi "Kai" Parker.
The main antagonist for season 6 of The Vampire Diaries, Kai is encountered by Bonnie Bennett and Damon Salvatore after the collapse of the Other Side, when they are shunted into a snapshot of their reality from 1994. He reveals that he massacred most of his family upon learning he was being replaced as the next leader of the Gemini coven, and was confined to this "prison world" by the coven as a result; he then terorrises Bonnie into aiding his escape into the real world, leaving her trapped and alone.
With newfound freedom, Kai makes his way to Mystic Falls in pursuit of the remainder of his family: his twin, Jo, with whom he was to magically merge and become the next leader of the Gemini coven; and his younger siblings, twins Liv and Luke, who their parents birthed to take their elder siblings' place after discovering Kai was a siphon. Seemingly, he's come to make good on his promise to finish what he started, but as the season progresses it becomes clear that Kai is blazing a path to the coven leadership he was denied those 18 years ago.
