The vampire is an 'undead' being who gains energy by sucking the blood from living victims. A bite from a vampire causes the victim in turn to become 'undead'. Count Dracula is undoubtedly the most famous vampire, created by writer Bram Stoker in 1897. The novel was based on a real fifteenth century Transylvanian Count, Vlad the Impaler, who was known for his hobby of watching his prisoners die a slow and torturous death impaled on high poles. Deaths caused by suicides in some Eastern European countries were treated with great suspicion up until the beginning of this century. Victims were buried at crossroads and their graves were covered in crosses, which represented knots, to stop them 'walking' from their graves.

A particular subspecies of Dark Other, vampires survive on blood and posess numerous supernatural abilities. A Dark Other cannot simply decide to “become†a vampire. A vampire may be artificially created through the consumption of vampiric blood or inherit the condition from a parent. Any Dark Other wishing to become vampiric would first need to convert to blood as a primary food source, then seek out another Vampire to fully undergo the change. The conversion process requires a license, issued by the Night Watch. The one undergoing conversion must be an Other. Vampire-human hybrids are not unknown; while they age normally, hybrids are still considered Others and require blood to fuel their abilities. Because of their unnatural lifestrong and hunger for human blood, vampires are required to register with the Night Watch nearest to their place of residence. While blood is integral to their survival, most vampires live on blood legally obtained from meat markets or donated from blood banks.
