These accursed souls are the "Children of the Night," otherwise known as the hominus nocturnis, the Vampire.

   Long ago, when the only humans on the planet were Adam, Eve, Caine, and Abel, God smiled upon humanity. However, on one accursed day, God smiled on Abel's sacrifice and not on Caine's. Consumed with jealousy, Caine urged his brother into the fields, where he rose up against his own brother and slew him.

   God, in infinite pain and sorrow, cursed Caine to damnation in the form of a eternal bloodlust which must be satisfied, as well as the fact that he shall never again feel the light of day, on penalty of death. Caine, gripped by anger and outrage cursed his God, and thus brought an even greater anger upon himself. Caine was thus cursed to eternity, ever mourning his sin and ever repeating it throughout time.

   Thus we mourn for the first Kindred. Thus we mourn for his eternal unrest and torment. Thus we mourn for ourselves. For we are the Children of Caine, and we share his curse. Embrace the curse and Embrace the very essence of what we are. We are the Children of Caine. We are the Children of Death.
