The New Villain In 'The Vampire Diaries" Season 8

Of course, with "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 being the last season, the series has revealed its baddest villain yet. Sybil has a very unusual power in that she possesses total control over Ian Somerhalder's character Damon as well as Enzo.

However, it appears that the concept of Sybil is not very easy to elaborate on as a subject, even by "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 cast members themselves. In an interview with TV Line, actor Paul Wesley confirms that he had a hard time grasping the concept, which he describes as cerebral. Ian Somerhalder, on the other hand, confirms that the last season will be darker than the rest.

"The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 airs on Fridays on The CW. Stay tuned to GamenGuide for updates.
