He didn't spend his entire life as a human. For a short period of time, Alaric was gifted with the original vampire powers, with the intent to hunt vampires. Alaric was also under the dark influence of being brought to life multiple times by Gilbert Ring. He had died many times before returning while The Other Side was collapsing.

The tragic end of the love triangle was the key to The Cure, on the other side, and Doppelgangers Silas and Amara have been on the Earth since ancient Greece. Amara was the primary anchor of The Other Side, which was later transferred to Bonnie Bennett. To create the vampires, Esther Mikaelson used the blood of Tatia, who is Petrova Doppelganger.
