The Romanian Coven controlled the Vampire world until it was overthrown by the Volturi, between 400 and 500 A.D.
Only the two leaders of the Coven survived; Stefan and Vladimir At the time of the Coven's birth; the area of Eastern Europe was known as Dacia. It is known as Romania today. Some would refer to the pair as ProtaDacia Vampires. Stefan and Vladimir were two of the original 12 ruling members of what is now known as the Romanian Coven. They were formed in a way similar to the Volturi: They were ambitious vampires calling a truce to the usual squabbling between small covens and then joining forces for the purpose of gaining power. During our rule, that lasted nearly a thousand years, our Coven lived bravely and decadently. For thousands of miles they were known and feared. We ruled over humans and vampires alike, often demanding slave labor and copious human sacrifice. Occasionally humans would create armies to overthrow what they considered to be beautiful, demon overlords. All attacks were futile, resulting in easy feats for us. Some humans were lucky enough to be spared death and most given labor. A few lucky ones, that pleased my Brother and I enough were able to earn immortality. The eventual downfall of the Coven was our focus on brute strength. We ignored talented vampires in favor of strength. Aro's innovative focus on talent over strength was the reason the Volturi were able to defeat us, though it took them more than a century, and they never wiped the Coven out completely. Vladimir lost his mate to the Volturi, ensuring his drive for vengeance would never fade. We are always searching for ways discomfort or damage the Volturi. She was killed around 810 A.D during the last of many attempts during the centuries to regroup, repopulate, and topple the Volturi. We amassed an army of more than a hundred new recruits and we were confident that the Volturi would fall. This ill-fated assault occurred a decade after the Volturi had acquired Jane and Alec. It was the first time Aro displayed their powers in battle. The Romanians were decimated. We had planned to spring a trap for the expected Volturi retreat, but ended up using it to escape slaughter when our recruits failed. We have made no further attempt to create more vampires for their coven, and decided to disappear until the Volturi weakened or another power presented itself. Our history is often spoken of but is rarely properly given. As we are older than most our characteristics are different. How we create new “children” isn’t the same you read in your little books. One day maybe you will be lucky enough to find out just how Vladimir accomplish this task. For now; it’ll remain quiet. We suffered great loss in our downfall, many brothers, sisters and our “children” were taken from us. We haven’t built up an army as we did in the past, but we do have a few vampires under our wings. On my travels I always bring my two most trusted children along: Micha and Alexis. Alexis is a fiery little redhead who suffered a tragic human life, she was sold off to a man by her father that abused her. A few years later I found her ready to end her life at a cliff edge. We are checked up on now and then by the Volturi so we constantly move and never let our guard down. I don’t carry a special talent but I’ve been trained so well, I can out maneuver you and confuse you as to my next move. Now we come that all popular question how did I come be what I am...Let me tell you the story on how that came to pass. I was married in my human days to a beautiful woman. We were happy even with what little we had. A few years into our marriage I returned home to find my wife dying due a sword wound to her stomach. I had never felt so powerless in my life. I went after the laird but failed at every attempt. But one day, a stranger offered me eternity in exchange for me blood. I did not care for eternity without his beloved Liliana, but when the stranger told him that I would be stronger than I could ever imagine, I took the offer. After going through the painful transformation, I went after the laird and killed him with a flick of my wrist. After that, I went on and on. I was starving with power. The power that I did not have that could have saved my wife. I lived to gain more power and soon I was on the top, along side a full Coven. But even after that, I still felt incomplete. I know it is because I lost my soul mate. I will never be whole with her. |
