"Your father should be returning from his business in the city today, and he will be delighted to see you."
Giuseppe Salvatore to Katarina[src]

Baron von Swartzschild (fl. 15th century) was a wealthy German nobleman and father of Katarina, who he was very fond of and chose not to force her to marry against her will.[1]

After Katarina's prolonged illness got worse, the Baron took her to Florence, Italy to recover,[2] unaware that Klaus had turned her into a vampire upon Gudren's urging.[1]

The Baron had business in Florence the day that Damon Salvatore quit the University.[2]

Behind the scenes[]

  • In the television adaption, Katherine's father, Gospodin Petrov, was far less kinder than the Baron, and was a wealthy Bulgarian man rather than a German land baron.
