While fans eagerly wait for The Vampire Diaries juicy 100th episode, there's a lot more to come after that.

In episode 17, fans will be introduced to a new character named Markos, according to E! Online on Wednesday.

He's described as "a charismatic but imposing leader from a faraway land. He's super dark, but people can't help but be drawn to him and he's worshipped by his followers."

Markos won't be the only new character on the show. Season 5 will also introduce Luke, who will enroll in Whitmore College when the series returns.

The character is described as a "hottie," "handsome" and "sarcastic," by E! Online. The new addition will also have a sister on campus and Luke will take his big brother duties to heart since he "will do (or sacrifice) anything to protect" her.

According to The Vampire Diaries wiki page, Luke will appear in the sixteenth episode of season 5.

While fans will wait a little while to meet these two new faces, there will quite enough drama to keep their attention. For example, fans will get to see how Damon and Elena deal with their breakup and it will be "huge."

"[We] see how they're both handling it," the show's Executive Producer Caroline Dries told TVLine in a Jan. 2 report.

She also added that things between the two are "still so tender. There's still so much that is unresolved about it."
