Lilith

**Lilith** was a human born during the Primordium Age, and the eldest of her family, the sister of Eve, Durgia, Lamashtu, and Naamah. She was among those chosen by God to protect from Lucifer in the Garden of Eden. Lilith was a headstrong and fiercely independent woman.

## History

When Lucifer entered the Garden of Eden, he began to influence Lilith -- corrupting her. When Adam sought to marry Lilith, she rejected him and left the Garden alongside Lucifer. Back on Earth, she began to practice witchcraft. However, it was not long before she was killed by the Old One known as Echidna (or, ironically, sometimes called Eve) who turned Lilith's body into one of the first vampires.

### Lilith the Vampire

According to the *Book of Vampyr*, a religious text important to numerous vampiric cults including the Sanguinistas, God created Lilith in his image -- as a vampire, and Adam and Eve were created solely to sustain her. The text goes on to explain that a human ultimately caused Lilith to meet her True Death in the sunlight. All of this is mythology, loosely based in fact but largely incorrect.

In the year 3,500 BCE, Lilith encountered the Faerie Macklyn Warlow. She would later claim that she was "told by God" that he would save all vampires. Four years later, Warlow returned to his home and -- overcome by bloodlust -- slaughtered his entire village. Distraught, he returned to the cave where Lilith slept and destroyed the ceiling with his photokinetic powers. The sun poured in, and Lilith was destroyed.

Lilith's other progeny gathered around her remains that night, and discovered some of her blood was left behind. They gathered it into an earthware jar, and chose a Guardian to watch over it. This role eventually expanded, the blood was moved into a crystal vial, the *Book of Vampyr* was written, and the religion of the Sanguinistas arose, as well as the more secular Vampire Authority.

#### Red Queen

Even in death, Lilith's powerful psychic connection to the vampire species persisted with one conceivable goal -- to physically manifest herself anew. In times of enough death and suffering -- typically times of plague or war, or both -- Lilith has appeared as a **Red Queen**, and a plague has been unleashed through deformed skals full of hatred, often calls Disasters. This plague would affect both vampires and humans. Each of these has failed to allow her manifestation, as they have all been prevented by her progeny Myrddin.

At least one cult of druids has witnessed her in such events, and formed a cult to worship her.

### Lilith the Demon

Meanwhile, Lilith's corrupted soul left her body upon her death and went to Hell. There, Lucifer twisted it into the very first of his demons. When Lucifer was imprisoned within the Cage, Lilith was made one of the seals to release him -- with the catch that 65 other seals needed to be broken first. In this way, it was ensured that Lucifer and Lilith would never be free to wreak havoc upon the Earth together.

Lilith worked to manipulate the breaking of the seals but with no luck -- ultimately getting herself caught in Hell, unable to leave on her own. Instead, she began commanding other demons to do her dirty work for her. She even crafted a Crook able to forcibly recall demons back to Hell.

## Powers & Abilities

### Vampire

As one of the progenitors of the vampire species, Lilith had all the powers of most other vampires, but to a much a greater degree. She also possessed the following additional abilities:

* Compulsion - with eye contact, Lilith could compel any human to do her bidding.
* Fangs - Lilith's fangs were longer than most vampires.
* Telekinesis - Lilith was able to move objects with her mind.
* Hemokinesis - Lilith could manipulate blood with her mind.
* Immunity - Lilith was immune to many common vampire weaknesses such as wooden stakes, holy water, and crosses. She also did not need an invitation to enter a residence.
* Astral Projection - Lilith was capable of moving about the world in an astral version of herself.
* Clairvoyance - Lilith had knowledge of things outside of her perception.
* Vitae - Lilith's blood was exceptionally potent.

### Demon

Being the first demon created by Lucifer, Lilith was substantially more powerful than most demons outside of the Old Ones. Her powers included:

* Photokinesis - Lilith could emit a powerful destructive blast of white light from her hands.
* Telekinesis - Lilith could move objects, including people, with her mind.
* Demonic Possession - Lilith could not corporealize on the Earth and so needed to take control of a human vessel. Unlike many other demons, she was able to enter and leave hosts without being noticed. If she revealed herself inside of a vessel, the vessel's eyes would be pure white.
* Invulnerability - non-supernatural weapons could not harm Lilith.
* Thermokinesis - Lilith can emit tremendous heat from her own body.
* Teleportation - Lilith can move instantly from one location to another.
* Immunity - Lilith was immune to many weaknesses common to demons. She was able to walk on holy ground, and was immune to holy water and crosses. She was highly resistant to the powers of other demons.
* Superhuman Strength - Lilith was physically stronger than virtually any lesser demon.
* Superhuman Stamina - Lilith did not require food, drink, or rest.
* Immortality - Lilith's lifespan was endless.
* Localization - Lilith was able to detect the exact location of any non-magically protected human she desired.
* Sedation - Lilith could cause humans to fall asleep.
* Biokinesis - Lilith could cause small cuts to open in the skin of humans.
* Regeneration - Lilith could rapidly heal from any injury.
