[edit] History
The first immortal, Alexander Corvinus, passed on his immortality strain to two of his three sons, Marcus and William. Marcus was bitten by a bat, and he inherited the characteristics of a bat. Marcus became the first Vampire, and thus the first Vampire Elder.
Marcus then turned the Hungarian Warlord Viktor, in exchange for his military intelligence along with the Adored Princess Amelia, who ruled over vast regions in that time, in exchange for her Royal influence. They were to help him capture his brother William. After he turned Viktor’s Military Army, and Amelia's Royal Knights into vampires, his troops later became the Death Dealers. As the Oldest and Strongest Vampires. They became the 3 Vampire Elders. The Warlord Viktor was the most Powerful. The Princess Amelia was the most Respected. The First Vampire Marcus however, was undermined and over-shadowed.
[edit] Politics
Viktor and Amelia both sought to undermine Marcus' authority, but Viktor believed the lie that should Marcus or William die, the rest of the species would die with them. Thus, he never sought Marcus' death.
The Vampire Elders have an intricate system known as the 'Chain', during which one Elder rules while the other two slumbers in the crypt in Ordoghaz, for every century. This was probably devised after William was captured. Generally, only an elder will awaken another, for they have the ability to organize their thoughts into a cohesive record for the next Elder to refer to; however, it is possible for any blood to provoke an awakening.
