Bewley will make his debut as Vaughn on the CW hit in the 13th episode of the season and will stick around for several episodes.

While details about Vaughn are being kept pretty under wraps, we can tell you that he's described as ruggedly handsome, charming, built and tough as hell. (Interesting side-note? An actor with an accent was preferred during the audition process for the role.)

Aside from playing Demetri in four of the five Twilight films (he did not appear in the first movie), Bewley has also starred in Like Crazy. Breaking Dawn Part 2, the final installment of The Twilight Saga, grossed $141.3 million in its opening weekend.

The Vampire Diaries airs Thursday at 8 p.m. on the CW.
