"Vampire Diaries has added a new recurring character. Raffi Barsoumian has joined the CW show as Markos, a character with supernatural origins. He is said to have an imposing yet charismatic presence.   Barsoumian has previously starred in a number of short films, including Booth, The Portrait and Stray Course. Two more names are also joining the show according to E!, with Heather Hemmens and Chris Brochu both landing roles. Hemmens will be playing Maggie, a love interest of Enzo. The character has previously been mentioned when Enzo told Damon about her, saying he first fell in love with her in 1953. She was a former lab assistant who performed experiments on vampires.  Brochu will be appearing in a number of episodes playing Luke. His character has a secret agenda and it soon becomes obvious that he has come into the lives of Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Caroline (Candice Accola) for mysterious and dangerous reasons.  The CW renewed The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Arrow, Supernatural and Reign last week. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
