Background
A vampire is a human being who has died and been resurrected by certain supernatural means and endowed with certain supernatural abilities and limitations, most notably a need to drink blood in order to sustain his or her existence. Vampires are also called the "undead," inasmuch as, even when active, they are not truly alive in the same sense that ordinary human beings are; indeed, they can be described as being technically dead. (There are also so-called "living vampires," who resemble true vampires in various respects, including their craving for blood, but who did not die before becoming vampires and did not gain their vampiric traits through supernatural means. The most notorious "living vampire" was Michael Morbius.
Vampires were first created about 15 thousand years ago when a small band of pre-Cataclysmic Atlantean sorcerers discovered the Darkhold, a collection of arcane knowledge scribed by the primevil demon Chthon, and used one of the spells contained therein to cause their enemies to return from the dead in vampiric form. The vampires were more powerful than the sorcerers predicted. Slaying their creators, they escaped from Atlantis before the continent sank. The first vampire may have been Varnae, formerly an Atlantean sorcerer, who ruled Earth's other vampires until ceding his position to Vlad Dracula, who remained the lord of Earth's vampires in a nearly unbroken reign from that time until the vampires of Earth were destroyed by the sorcerer Doctor Stephen Strange. They have however since resurfaced.
