Vampires

**Vampires,** also known as Vampyrs or Strigoi, are undead creatures that must feed on blood to survive. They're immortal and have been around for centuries.

## Biography

The first vampire to be recorded in history is the legendary Cain. Shortly after killing his brother, he heard a dark voice in his head telling him to consume Abel's blood. Cain began to drink it and the impurity of drinking an innocent's blood began to warp his soul and transform him into a vampire, granting him supernatural abilities. Forced to now live as a vampire, Cain travelled the world and gradually turned more people. This would eventually give rise to the entire vampire race.
