Elder

An Elder is a vampire of both advanced age and status. While there is no strict definition, one normally must be at least a century or two old and far removed from their human past to qualify.
There is a long standing cycle of hate and resentment between Elder and younger vampires, being especially pronounced between sires and their childer. Elders often use their greater power and influence to oppress those younger than them out of fear of their greater numbers and because most vampires of such age believe they know what's best. Younger vampires naturally chafe under such treatment and grow jealous of the Elders' positions.
