The name "Jeremy" appears in several contexts, most notably as Jeremy Gilbert from "The Vampire Diaries". He is the adoptive brother and biological cousin of Elena Gilbert.
In "The Vampire Diaries," Jeremy experiences significant trauma, including the death of his parents. He struggles with drug use and copes with the deaths of loved ones, such as his girlfriends Vicki and Anna. He later becomes a vampire hunter. Jeremy is killed by Silas after Katherine Pierce feeds Silas his blood. Later, when Bonnie drops the veil to the Other Side, Jeremy's ghost returns. Eventually, he leaves Mystic Falls to hunt vampires in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with Alaric providing leads.
In another context, "Drinking blood is usually a red flag...", Jeremy is portrayed as a 23-year-old who claims to be a 300-year-old werewolf and brags about needing blood to survive. This character is involved with a 12-year-old girl named Jasmine, causing conflict with her parents.
