We still have far too long to wait until The Vampire Diaries returns on January 5 - but at least we now have a juicy nugget to contemplate during this hiatus.

As first reported by Michael Ausiello, the series will flashback yet again on the 13th episode of season three (scheduled for January 26), this time to 1491, where we'll meet another member of the Original family.

Klaus and Rebekah's brother, his name will be Finn and he'll have gotten very close to Katherine on at least one occasion... if you know what we mean!

Not much else is known about the sibling, but visit our Vampire Diaries forum or sound off in our Comments section with any casting ideas.
