I played a lot of Vampire the Masquerade in the 90s and liked their origin idea about Vampires.
Basically Cain from the bible is the 1st and only truly immortal, having been cursed to walk the earth forever by god
so every person who is made a vampire is one generation away, most players in the game are at the edge. basically 12 generations away from Cain. The 2nd generation are all dead or beyond isolation. The 3rd generation are the powers that be that control the world and are at war with eachother and have the defining characteristics that all the vampires sired under them have the potential to have
but the old vampires will usually go into torpor for hundreds of years and only influence the world through dreams or proxies
