Victoria came from a long line of wealthy vampires but she couldn’t help but fall in love with a human. They soon eloped and had Benedict. They taught him to be kind and just, and never to turn his fangs on an unwilling person. When Benedict’s blood hunger started at the age of 13, Cael bribed a butcher to provide animal blood to satiate him. Victoria disappeared when Benedict was 18 and she is presumed dead. Benedict took his bar exam at 26 and became a lawyer. When Benedict was 28, the Sanguine Act allowed him access to hospital blood stores which made him stronger and more healthy. Benedict will do pro-bono work occasionally if someone cannot afford his help.)

If a non-vampire drinks vampire blood, they can become a vampire too).
