'Legacies': How Landon Kirby went from an extra on 'The Originals' to the potential demi-god in The CW spin-off

Weilder of an ancient magical knife with a mysterious past, Landon Kirby has gone from bullied nobody to hero real quick

When Landon Kirby (Aria Shahghasemi) appeared in 'The Originals' for the first time, it never looked like the boy was going to make it past the season finale. Shy, with never really much to say, Landon was just a cute boy who appeared on Hope Mikaelson's radar when she was visiting Mystic Falls with her uncle Elijah. Landon was working at the local burger joint — a garden variety extra in 'The Vampire Diaries/The Originals' universe. Anyone's first guess would be that he would just end up being collateral damage when one of the supernaturals needed to feed. Yet, here he is on 'Legacies' as the wielder of a mystical knife and a mysterious bloodline he knows nothing about.
