At the start of the season, his personality is pretty much the polar opposite of his brother, as he comes across as quite arrogant at times. He is said to possess sociopathic tendencies, being absolutely charming one minute and extremely dangerous the next, showing no remorse for the killings he has committed. He enjoys toying with people and causing grief to those around him, most of all Stefan and unlike his brother, he is very, very powerful and usually gets what he wants. It's possible that he learned to behave this way from Katherine.
However, as the episodes play out we see that what Damon is really longing for is acceptance, which is something he never really saw during his years as a human. Having been on his own for the past 145 years, he has become very isolated and lonely, using a dark sense of humour to compensate for this. After he threatens to turn Elena in 'Children of the Damned', he refers to her as 'our girlfriend' in front of Stefan, which is a possible indication that he has some type of feelings for her.
There is further evidence of this in the episode 'Isobel' when he goes to visit Isobel and threatens her to stay away from Elena and Isobel later reveals to her daughter that he's in love with her. In the season finale, 'Founder's Day', Damon is captured along with Anna and many of the tomb vampires, due to being exposed as a vampire by Johnathan Gilbert's device. Weakened by a vervain injection and placed in the basement of Grayson Gilbert's old business headquarters, he watches as John Gilbert kills Anna by staking her. After Stefan rescues him as the building is set on fire, he goes and tells Jeremy that Anna is dead and says he wanted to save her. He also apologises for what he did to Vicki, admitting that it was wrong. Jeremy tells him that Anna said that vampires can turn off their emotions, so they don't feel pain and Damon says it's true, telling him that life isn't easier if someone becomes a vampire - it sucks no matter if the person is human or not, but if the person is a vampire they don't have to feel bad about it. He admits that he did it for a very long time and life was a lot easier for him.
Later, he is leaving the Gilbert house when Elena returns home. He admits that he came to the town wanting to destroy it but actually found himself wanting to protect it after everything that happened at the Founder's Day celebrations and says he's not a hero and doesn't do good, saying it's not in him. It's reserved for Stefan, Elena herself and Bonnie. Bonnie helped Stefan rescue him as Elena wanted it, which means that she dcecided he was worth saving and thanks her. He kisses her cheek and then they kiss passionately before Jenna opens the door. They stop suddenly and Jenna tells Elena to come inside, as she casts a look at Damon. Once inside, Jenna asks her niece what she's doing and Elena says she doesn't want to talk about it. Outside, Damon looks at the door and touches his lips before leaving. However, it is revealed at the end of the episode that Damon has actually kissed Katherine as the real Elena arrives home, telling Stefan that someone took her belongings from the school.
History
Damon is approximately 170-175 years old and originally from Mystic Falls. It seems to have been a while since his last visit to the town. Giuseppe Salvatore was always disapproving of his eldest son and was a vampire hunter.
Damon began hating his brother after Stefan talked about having sympathy for vampires with his father and Giuseppe realized Katherine must be a vampire. When Katherine drank Stefan's vervain-laced blood (after Giuseppe spiked Stefan's drink), she was captured by the townspeople. Damon blamed Stefan and never forgave him for it until Stefan told him he needed his help rescuing Elena after she was kidnapped by Anna. However, deep down it's likely that he still loves his younger brother but has a hard time showing it as their attraction to Katherine got in the way.
