His name is Connor, and he's about to make a serious impact on The Vampire Diaries.

With Season 4 of this CW thriller set to premiere on Thursday, ITV2 in England has released a new trailer for the first two episodes - both of which I've seen, the second of which is among the best in the show's history - and it includes our very first look at Todd Williams as the new hunter in Mystic Falls.

What does he want? What circumstances set off his arrival? Have patience, TVD fans. We'll find out soon enough.

For now, just feast your eyes on new footage from "Growing Pains" and "Memorial" and be sure to return to TV Fanatic the moment the Vampire Diaries Season 4 premiere concludes. I'll have a detailed review live and ready to discuss...
