However, his plan is derailed when Selene, a vigilant Death Dealer, awakens Viktor and alerts him to Kraven's treachery. It is then that Lucian strikes, killing Amelia and the Vampire Council, with the plan to turn himself into a Hybrid, leaving Kraven to rule the Vampires. In the present days, the Coven has become increasingly decadent under Kraven's leadership, with Amelia ruling from the Eastern Coven and, in the last years of her reign, from the New World Coven. However, nobody suspected the truth: Kraven had struck a deal with Lucian, allowing him to gain power and a position as regent in the Coven. A Vampire Council that holds enormous sway in the Vampire community was created sometime before the fiasco of Sonja and Lucian. When the Chain was first established is never made clear. The Elders constructed the Chain system, which ensured one of them will rule for a century while the other two remained in hibernation. Viktor forbade and erase any mention of Sonja or the Lycans' role as slaves, thus creating several generations of Vampires who know nothing of Sonja, and who believe that the Lycans started the war.Īfter some time, a Death Dealer named Kraven returned with proof of Lucian's death, and the Death Dealers were charged with hunting down any and all surviving Lycans. The ensuing battle killed off almost the entire Vampire species, leaving only a few members of the species alive.

Viktor used the opportunity to seize power from Marcus, and he had William imprisoned in a dungeon for eternity. William was finally imprisoned in 1202 AD, but his capture created a rift among the three Vampire Elders. The Vampires later embarked on an ill-fated scheme to turn the surviving Lycans (descendants of the the Werewolves who had now gained the ability to return to human form) into slaves, using them to guard their tombs during the daylight. Together, they created an army of Vampire warriors known as Death Dealers, whom they used to track and contain William and all others infected by him. In an attempt to stop William, but not harm him, Marcus enlisted the help of a dying warlord named Viktor and a female warrior named Amelia. Despite Marcus's status, his twin brother, William, was a raging monster beyond control, a Werewolf who slaughtered all in his path. Marcus Corvinus was the first Vampire, and it was he who spread the virus to others, creating the entire species.
