In the former version of the World of Darkness Generation is the measure of how far removed from Caine a vampire is. Caine himself is the sole member of the First Generation; there are three known members of the Second Generation (Enoch the Wise, Irad the Strong and Zillah the Beautiful), thirteen known vampires of Third Generation (which begat the Clans) and far greater numbers of higher-generation vampires with ever-decreasing power.

In the World of Darkness Dracula was considered a Fourth Generation Tzimisce.

A surprising development happened when the first 14th and 15th Generation vampires came to be; somehow, while generally far weaker than the vampires of lower generations, those later-day Kindred actually have a couple of capabilities that their predecessors rarely if ever develop.
