I don't think anyone has ever disputed that Klaus is Mikael's victim.
Yeah, no, a couple of these arguments have wormed their way into my little bubble.
Its the notion that he's Rebekah's, Marcel's or Elijah's victim that is lost on me.
I'd separate out Marcel from Rebekah and Elijah, obviously, since those psychological dynamics are a lot more straightforward. And like, you can say from an objective moral standpoint that the same is true concerning Rebekah and Elijah? I'm not saying the only right way to react to the character is to sympathize. I'm saying that, rightly or wrongly, sympathetically or not, in his psychological landscape, due to events which occurred when he was absolutely not more powerful relative to either of them, he subconsciously perceives Rebekah and Elijah as posing threats to him.
He's over a 1000 years separated from Mikael and has made zero efforts to properly handle his abuse.
Being stalked by someone who has created an international reputation as "the Destroyer" based on the brutality of his attempts to kill you is kind of pushing the definition of "separated" IMO.

I mean, I'm not saying he's a fluffy bunny rabbit and people have to like and sympathize with him, but is it that big of a leap to think that there might be psychological repercussions to being hunted down like a dog in the street for 90+% of one's life? Katherine would have killed the fuck out of someone who sold her out to Klaus and we (myself included) wouldn't bat an eye.
