While it's already common fan knowledge that CW's The Vampire Diaries will be bringing it some new characters for its fifth installment, it was recently learned that one of them won't be lasting the entire school year.

According to E! Online, two college freshmen in Mystic Falls will "experience the death of one of their fellow freshman when they hit college come October."

The potential flame's name is Aaron, and he's described as a "handsome co-ed who may have a connection to the dearly departed."

The site goes on to state that the grieving process of the student will lead to one of the girls meeting "a possible new love interest."

According to TVLine, the respective character seems to be strikingly similar to that of another newbie on the show named Jesse, who is "hot, smart, confident and disarmingly sweet." Much like Aaron, Jesse is also said to become a potential flame for someone as well.
