He doesn't die... As to how he became a vampire, he had Katherine's blood in his system when he died (his dad, Giuseppe Salvatore, shot him and Damon) in 1864.
I think you should read it after Vampire Diaries
If you read the first book Vampire Diaries, The Fury and Dark Reunion, The crow is Damon and Damon is Stefan's older brother. If you don't know Stefan, Stefan is the new kid in from Vampire Diaries.
she died saving Stefan an honorable way to die
If you mean in the Vampire Diaries she doesn't. She never died. She faked her death.
yes
Stefan Salvatore.
Stefan is a vampire, born in the Italian Renaissance during the late fifteenth century.
stefan
because he naturally is
Stefan doesn't die in any of the books but he has been captured and kidnapped many times in the book the Struggle and the Return volume one and two.
Yes, but he turned into a vampire before Damon.
she's the vampire on the vampire diaries who turned both stefan and dameon into vampires.
