Vampire

Vampires are people who have died and been reanimated making them both living and dead. they mainly feed on the blood of humans but they can also feed on animals if they so chose. Vampires can make more of their kind. Vampires are one of the supernatural creatures found in the Wolf Den Series.

Creation
for a human to become a vampire the human must have lost a substantial amount of blood be it by natural means or by the hands of a vampire, then the human must drink the blood of a vampire and later they must be killed by either the vampire or by other means once dead it will take 24 hours for the victim to awaken as a vampire,

if a human ingests vampire blood without losing any of their own blood they are in no danger of becoming a vampire even if they are killed with it in their system, however the vampire blood will heal any wounds the drinker may have.

History
The Royal Blood Court:

not much is known of the history of this acient species however there is a rumor that there is a vampire who is the first and the king of all vampires giving his ironic name The Vampire King, most people who know of the supernatural or who are supernatural themselves belive that there is no such thing and it is just an old tale meant to bring fear and panic to people.

the legend states that The Vampire King Elected Three Special Vampires to act as his personal guard and to keep control over other vampires, These Vampires came to be known as the Vampire Princes they too are amongst the oldest and most powerful vampires in recorded history.

Another Legend is that the Vampire King was actually subduded and captured by an unnamed coven of witches, it is said he was imprisoned for eternaity and the only thing that can awaken the king once more is the blood of the three vampire princes and the blood of one witch in the coven that captured him.

Attiudes towards humans
most vampires view humans as nothing more then food, vampires class humans as inferior and as most humans are completely unaware of the exsistence of vampires it makes it easier for vampires to blend in and co exsist with the humans.however there are some vampires who hold humans in high regard mainly due to themselves remembering the feeling of being human, other times it could just be common respect for humans and what they achieve.

Human Awareness of Vampires
only a handful of people and hunters are aware of the exsistence of vampires however it was rumored that in early history many humans knew of vampires but by today's stand the vampire race faded into folklore and entered the world of fiction.
