The origin of vampires? !

The earliest origin of vampires is said to be Cain in the Bible. According to the Bible, Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden and went to the wilderness, where they gave birth to many children. Cain is the third oldest person in the world. He is a farmer and lives with the shepherd's brother. Once, as usual, the two men offered sacrifices to God. Because it is convenient for my brother to graze and offer plenty of meat, Cain's radish attracts God's dissatisfaction. Cain killed his brother angrily. The next day, God asked Cain where his brother had gone, but he argued that he didn't know. God is angry, "cunning! Your brother's ghost cried to me about your atrocities, so you must accept my punishment! Cain asked God for mercy. God said, "No, I won't kill you. I know you will be spurned in the future. So I give you a distinctive sign to let others know that you don't deserve to be killed-just try to torture you. In the vampire legend hidden for thousands of years, Cain's scourge is that he must rely on the blood of the living to maintain his life, and he will never die, suffering from this curse from generation to generation. Moreover, God makes his mark visible to everyone and condemns it, which is different from the Bible. Later in the book, he paired up with Satan's lover Lilith (Lilith, first appeared in Sumerian mythology, Adam's first wife in the Old Testament, left the Garden of Eden because of dissatisfaction with God), saying that Lilith was a powerful witch and taught Cain how to use blood to generate power for his own use. Because of this, some people think that Lilith was really the first vampire.

Driven by loneliness, Gaiyin created the second generation of vampires. They have 13 offspring. This third generation is a survivor of Noah's flood. They established the 13 clan, and later rebelled and wiped out the second generation of vampires. The third code in ancient times claimed to have the power comparable to that of God. Today, thousands of years later, the bloodline of vampires has reached the thirteenth to fifteenth generations. Before the Middle Ages, vampire members, because of their special strength and immortal body, usually became the overlord of one side, and even fought for power and profit with each other, causing the fear of ordinary people. It was not until the14th century or so that the inquisition of the Catholic Church discovered the existence of vampires, and then wantonly carried out supplementary killings. Although vampires have super powers, no vampire can stop the threat of cooperation from thousands of mortals at the same time. So the survival of vampires fell into an unprecedented crisis. In order to cope with the bad situation, several vampire clans at that time (about the sixth to eighth generation) had to form an alliance, so the Kamalira (secret party) alliance came into being. This is an alliance faction composed of seven clans, and it is also a larger alliance faction so far. When the secret party was founded, it established six strict traditions of commandments, which required the later vampires in the league to abide by forever. The highest purpose of the whole tradition of precepts is to stipulate that vampires must hide in human society and never reveal their identity, so as not to lead to the crisis of vampire survival. This is the origin of the precept of "avoiding the world".

Another alliance outside the secret party is Sabbat. Although each clan can join the Rubik's Cube, it is mainly controlled by two clans. The Magic Party is Camarilla's old enemy. They don't approve of isolationism. They rule with fear, force and threats. It is said that the Magic Party will bury new vampires alive, arouse their fears, and then control them with rituals and blood ties. Rubik's cube also regards human beings as inferior animals and drives them to kill at will. Secret party member usually calls Sabat "the hand of darkness".

In addition, the other four clans who did not join the secret party or the magic party usually remained neutral or acted according to circumstances in the struggle between the two factions.

Let's talk about these seven relatives ~

1。 Brugia

It is generally believed that Brugia is the most suitable clan for fighting among the blood clan. Indeed, the physical foundation of Brujah members is the best of all blood families. However, the complexity of the belief concept of Brujah members is also one of the best in the blood clan. Everything from Nazis to environmentalists can be found here.

To outsiders, Brujah is just a mob, only because of contempt for authority. This statement is not entirely correct, but it is not too far from the truth. There is a joke that the only reason why Bruga still stays in the secret party is that none of them can completely fill out the agreement on their behalf and quit the party. In fact, Brujah's disunity is mainly due to their number of members. No other clan has so many members as Brugia to become anarchists. It can be said that every night, Brujah members deviate from secret parties. Those Brujah members who remain in the secret party are also troubles for elders and kings. Nevertheless, Brujah members are considered important fighters-because no vampire is more terrible than them in face-to-face combat.

This clan is mainly divided into three factions: Iconoclast (true anarchist): they attack everything and have no respect for any institution or authority. They observe hidden commandments, but only to protect themselves.

Idealists: Most older Brujah members and almost all Brujah elders belong to this school. Drawing wisdom and guidance from the past history, they believed that Brugia should unite to build a new Carthage.

Individualist: A compromise between two factions in the world who work together for the future of the clan. But they don't ask others to obey their orders like idealists.

2。 tramp

Gunriel is probably the closest to the heart of nature among all the blood families. These wandering loners don't like the bondage of society, but prefer the comfortable life in the wild. However, how they avoid the attack of werewolves in the wild is still a mystery. Maybe they have the ability to change their appearance to deceive others. If someone says he saw a vampire turn into a wolf or a bat, then nine times out of ten he saw Gangrel. Like Brugia, Gungil members are usually powerful fighters. However, unlike Brugia, Gunrell's fighting courage does not come from lawless anger, but from their animal instinct. Gangrel members are eager to know the beast in their souls. They communicate with other animals at night. When the animality of Gangrel members is out of control, their bodies will irreversibly have some animal characteristics, sometimes their eyes will become cat's eyes, their feet may become claws, and even tails may grow. Therefore, many older Gangrel members look more like some kind of animal than human beings. In some rare cases, their consciousness will also tend to be animalised.

3。 Markavian

Even other disgusting guys are afraid of Malkavian members. Their cursed blood polluted their minds. A Markavia member will soon become insane after being hugged (provided, of course, that they have not been insane before). These guys have a variety of symptoms of insanity, from madness to paranoia to multiple personalities. In fact, there is no symptom that has never appeared before. Markovian is usually considered very dangerous. Because they are often dominated by sudden desires and inexplicable hallucinations, and sometimes even point the blade at other blood families. And because of their madness, they lost the fear of pain and ultimate death, so it is very difficult to subdue them. Because of this, they are also rejected by the whole blood clan society. But in fact, behind the madness, Markovian members often have extraordinary insight and even wisdom.

4。 Nosferatu

Because of their ugly and distorted appearance, Nosferatu must live underground far away from human society, instead of hiding in human society like other vampires. Since Northferrato was first accepted, it has become uglier every day. Other blood clans reject these guys who live in sewers or catacombs, thinking that they are boring things and don't associate with them unless it is very necessary. Because of their ugliness and stigma, they try to avoid being found when they move on the ground, which makes them know the dark alleys and corners of the city better than any other creature. Coupled with their superb stealth and eavesdropping technology, nothing in this city can escape the eyes and ears of Nosferatu. Moreover, due to the disability and contempt of * * *, the members of Northferrato are extremely United, and there will be no fights that can be seen everywhere by other clans. Because of their unity, if you offend one of them, you will offend all the members of Northferrato-this is a very terrible thing.

5。 Oreodo

Matador has many aliases, including "degenerate", "artist", "poseur" and even "hedonist". But any generalized classification is a distortion and harm to the clan as a whole. According to the personal situation and mood at that time, the matador members covered various situations between elegance and brilliance, brilliance and stupidity, fantasy and idleness. Perhaps the only general feature of this family is that all members have aesthetic enthusiasm. The members of the matador are passionate about everything they do. In their view, eternal life should be enjoyed. Many of them were painters, musicians or poets before their death. While many other members have spent centuries in absurd attempts at artistic creation. Matador members like to stay in high society as much as ordinary members. However, unlike Ventrue members who lead the secret party, Toreador members don't like those boring official entertainments. They live in high society in order to be noticed and praised-and all this comes from their witty words, beautiful manners and simple but passionate lifestyle.

6。 Tremelle

Tremir, one of the shortest known clans, was founded in the early dark ages. Tremere's original members were a group of human wizards who longed for eternal life. Somehow they gained the ability to suck blood through alchemy, magic and the blood of an elder. But they soon found that their original spells were not so powerful. But through study and dedication, they have mastered a new form of magic-magic. This magic is done by the power of blood. Because of the way they became vampires, they became enemies of other vampire clans. However, due to the contribution of Tremella members in resisting the "Inquisition" provoked by human beings and their strict adherence to the masquerade ball, Tremella finally got a place in the secret party. At the secret party, Tremella used their magic to prove that he was a powerful ally-and, of course, a dangerous enemy. In fact, there is not much difference between the number of times that Tremella uses their magic at secret parties and the number of times that he uses it himself.

7。 Fanzhuo (the vampire family in the novel)

Elegant and aristocratic, Ventrell is the leader of secret parties. They maintained the foundation of the secret party and guided party member through the difficulties at the most dangerous time. Even in modern times, the leaders of most cities are controlled by members of Ventru. In ancient times, new members had to be selected from nobles, wealthy businessmen or other members of the upper class. In modern times, they are selected from business family members, community leaders or political dignitaries. No matter what they did before their death, Ventrue members were responsible for implementing and supervising the implementation of ancient commandments and deciding the direction of the secret party. If you ask a Ventrue member what their tribe does, he will answer that the hidden commandments are maintained and enforced by them. Without them, the hidden commandment will not be carried out. If the hidden commandment is not carried out, the blood clan will cease to exist. Although they often appear in high society like matador members, they are not interested in showing off and chatting. Other blood clans mistakenly think that they are arrogant and greedy, but for Ventrue members themselves, the role of leader brings more burden than honor.

Let's talk about the magic party.

1。 La sombra

Lasombra is an elegant wrestler, and its members are very satisfied with it. On them, elegance and cruelty coexist, and nobility and decadence coexist. Lasombra is also a natural leader. They believe that they are much better than others of their kind. After the original Brujah leader betrayed the anarchists, Lasombra began to lead the Magic Party. Almost all the directors of the Magic Party are from La Sumbra. They guide (and sometimes spur) the possessed party and make it an indomitable force. Members of Lasombra think they have the power and authority to hug, murder and cruelty-many members of Lasombra will ask, if you want to be a vampire, why are you afraid of these things? In addition, most members of Lasombra belong to a wolf pack and rely on it to improve their strength. Lasombra is different from Tzimisce. They don't despise boycotting all mankind, but they just think it's more interesting to control those guys themselves.

2。 Acanthomys

If Lasombra is the heart of the Magic Party, then Tzimisce is the soul of the Magic Party. They used to be the most powerful of all clans, but they were hit hard in the struggle against Tremere and the anarchic revolution. After the revolution, Tzimisce and Lasombra formed the Magic Party. Tzimisce can change his appearance through powers, which always makes the blood clan around him uneasy. The nickname "devil" was given to Tzimisce by the frightened blood clan. But in fact, Tzimisce is the most scholarly of all blood families, and most of its members have received higher education. They have a strong thirst for knowledge, and the older Tzimisce members may be one of the most knowledgeable creatures in the world. Tzimisce is no less proficient in magic than he is in science, but not as good as Tremere. Tzimisce has done countless terrible experiments to understand the nature of vampires, including people and other vampires.

Then there is the neutral clan.

1。 Assam

Assam, from the Middle East desert, is a killer in the blood clan. Assamese members work for employers who pay them wages, which are usually their blood. After accepting the employment, they began to follow the target until they killed it or found that their employer had cheated him. For example, the employer told him that the target was the ninth generation of blood clan, but it was actually the sixth generation. If the hired Assam member is killed by the target instead, the Assam clan will not take revenge on him, nor will it take over the assassination contract why he is the target in the future. Because of their special background, Assam's belief is a mixture of many Middle Eastern religions and vampire myths. They think that the only way for vampires to reach heaven is to get as close to that person as possible, that is, to minimize the generation gap between themselves and the original vampires. This is achieved by other vampires who are older than themselves. In order to prove the legitimacy and correctness of his behavior, Assam claimed that the founder of his clan killed two second-generation vampires. For the Assamese, drinking the blood of other vampires is like eating communion.

2。 Followers of the collection

Followers of Set are often called Setites. In vampire society, they are more suspicious than other tribes. This is because of their beliefs. They believe that they originated from Ji, the Egyptian god of night and darkness. Set, formerly known as Sutekh, is a powerful vampire. After arriving in Egypt, it was regarded as the god of night and darkness because it often appeared at night in a terrible form. Later, Sutek changed his name to Seth, fighting another vampire, Osiris, the god of the Egyptian house of Yin Si. The end result was that Set was defeated, his followers were killed and he himself was exiled. Later, he began to cultivate his own power and constantly attracted followers, including Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Persians and even Semu people. His influence extends from the Spanish mountains to the Black Sea. However, in 33 AD, Set suddenly disappeared. Before disappearing, he told his followers that he would return to this world one day. The faithful followers of Setites-Set have been trying to revive Set by keeping the whole world in darkness. Although Setites thinks that Set has existed in the world longer than Cain, other clans think that Set is actually a third-generation vampire, and his sudden disappearance is to avoid being injured in the Millennium Jyhad. But in any case, Setites has been trying to pull the world into darkness to promote the recovery of Set. They use drugs and other means to induce other blood families or human beings to fall. In fact, some underworld organizations in modern Haiti and several terrorist organizations in the Middle East are under the control of Seti people.

The true story of Drakula.

1897, an Irish writer Stoke wrote a novel called Drakula. The story is based on the famous Romanian tyrant Prince Vlad III, located in Transylvania, Romania.

/kloc-In the 5th century, Waldler was the former ruler of Wallachia, Romania. Located in Romania, this territory is bordered by France in the north, the Black Sea in the east and Bulgaria in the south. It became a complete territory in the13rd century, when the first ruler, the Arabian Emperor of Barcelona, was the ancestor of Waldler III. Later, the descendants of basara Bo split in two and became two clans that fought for years. In the period of Waldler III, they made several alliances with foreign countries in order to compete for inheritance rights, during which they were betrayed and exiled. Later, Fude III's Jedi counterattacked, regained the throne and ruled Wallachia, but was soon killed by his cronies, ending his short ruling career (1456 to 1462). At that time, he was only thirty-one years old.

Prince Vlad III was born in 143 1. He has the most widely known nickname "Dracula", which means the son of the devil or the son of the dragon according to Romanian. Before his rule, Romani spent six years in Rachiya. He was cruel by nature and used to crucify prisoners of war and disobedient people alive to satisfy himself. This shows that Stark regards Waldler as the prototype of vampires, not without reason.
