Jereoban, a fallen angel, banished to earth for his misdeeds and mayhem in the 8th century (around 774BC) had traveled the plains, watching and waiting, but for what? He wasn't sure until he saw her. A pure human woman in the distance. He was drawn to her for reasons unknown but an instant tug towards her made her approach. Anastasia Christoph was the lady in waiting, sister to two immortals she had always dreams and desires more than she had. Jereoban swept her off of her feet and knew to get what he wanted a mere promise of what she desired would make her willing to let him achieve his greatest desires.
With the promise of immortality, though no spoken promise of the type of immortality from Jereoban, Anastasia was willing to bare his spawn. Within weeks the spawn of the angel and the human had grown and were ready to be born. Anastasia’s body was ripped apart as the spawn were born. Killing her instantly. As he promised Jereoban granted her immortality. Her body soon healed and Anastasia was re-born. Though she is forever immortal after the birth of the spawn, she is as a Maenad. Maenads are attracted to drunkenness, animosity, arrogance; they cause madness and violence; their special love is to bring down the proud; they love a proud man. We believe the Maenad causes the destruction and confusion she does as it is her only weapon against the fate she was tricked into.
[[ Cliff notes version:: Fallen angel takes form of Dionysus - mates with human worshiper of Dionysus. Her task to become fully immortal and be with her “Dionysus” is to birth the twins knowing it will kill her. She is reborn as an immortal maenad. All maenads come from her influence. ]]

Christos (vamp) (Modern times goes by Chris) Xander (lycan) (Modern times goes by Xan)
The Vampire and Lycan brothers each spawned their own 'originals' to spread their DNA and make a new race of immortals. One Male and One Female... and so the cycle began.

Vamps:: Lady Ashlynn and Lord Darius Lycans:: Mangus and Seraphina
Then centuries later there was a third original vampire spawned, that vampire was Rafael. He was not what most considered ‘normal’ in his human state so why he was chosen by Christos is not known. Once bitten Rafael had become obsessed with becoming... indestructible. He was convinced there was a way to be so and he sought out to be ‘indestructible’, to beat out the others in finding a way to not become weakened by the sun.

After much research and speaking to the oracles he sought out after a Gorgon named Medusa. As the legend held to see her true nature would turn you to stone, but Rafael wondered what would happen if one was to drink from her? Would her blood, her life force turn his body into a body of stone, therefore making him stronger and not affected by the sun as the others are. Though he did not know that this Gorgon was the Mother of the evil he coveted.
Anastasia, now a Maenad, who is able to shift into anything she desires posed as Medusa, allowing him to drink from her. His transformation was quick but not painless, his skin hardened and the sun no longer affected him but now he was faced with a new dilemma. He had been made into a mockery. His lineage, from here on out would pose the same fate as he. He sparkled in the sunlight. Fooled by the Gorgon he set off to find a way to beat this setback he had face thus spawning countless populations of newborn vampires that would not meet the fates of the true originals.
The Originals, worried of their exposure made up a council, making original vampires and lycans work together to seek out the places the new vampires were inhabiting and keep them under control. The gorgon, Anastasia and Rafael had created something that at times seemed uncontrollable. These modern day vampires, the mockery if you will that they bring to the word vampire.
The council would control the lords/ladies of the certain regions, the ones most populated by the new breed of vampires. They would in turn have sheriffs (the sheriffs are the kings and queens enforcers, they're like second in command) to attend to their areas. Anyone caught out right ‘showing off’ or disrespecting the ‘rules’ so to speak would be sought out by the Death Dealers. Once a death dealer is given an order to kill there is no turning back; the only one allowed to ‘spare’ a life is Christos or Xander...
