## Origin

Makaio, an ancient sorcerer was the leader of Ikati, an island in the south pacific; a community of peers that wanted to escape the watchful eyes of the world. It would attract people from across the world. Here they could practice dark magic, stepping into deeper and darker territory. Eventually Makaio would be compelled to sacrifice another villager, a virgin, which angered something darker in the world. A curse befell the sorcerer - making him into the first vampire.

His thirst for blood caused an outbreak across the island paradise, decimating the population, until SIN was able to quarantine the area and started to destroy the threat. They would set the island a light - destroying everybody and everything in its path. They would find the cursed sorcerer, the first vampire and sever his head - effectively killing him.

However his head survived, and was taken into a deep part of the SIN vaults for further study.

Many years later, Tane Ordoño, a SIN agent assigned to interrogate Makaio, became enamoured with the disembodied head; being seduced by the promise of power and eternal life he offered. The agent would allow the head to bite him, turning him into a vampire and reigniting the thirst .

This agent would break out the head and return to the world, escaping from the watchful eyes of SIN by carefully choosing new vampires with mystical abilities to allow them to evade capture.

Eventually the vampires would be able to gather together a court, an army and even spies - big enough to threaten the existence of SIN. Humiliated by the fact they kept the severed head and allowed his escape back into the world, the current head of SIN requested a meeting with the vampire court.

The two parties came to an agreement - the vampires would be allowed to life freely, and the two parties would keep their true origin a secret. Rather than being seen as monsters, the vampires would become offshoots of the human condition and allowed to develop their own customs, culture and regulations - as long as they don’t inflict too much on SIN business.

The sorcerer head and his escort would return to their original island home, rebirthing it as the home of vampire culture - once again hidden from the outside world. As an affront to the world; they created a home in the sun - refusing to cower in fear from what challenges them. The pair would become the Nobility - the spiritual leaders of the vampire race.
