Origin
Death of Dracula
During the centennial gathering of Vampires, the sects spoke of their concerns over the growing human population where the question of leadership came before Dracula. At this moment, his son Xarus usurping his father by staking him with likeminded leaders thus taking control of the entirety of Vampirekind who intended to conquer Earth. However, he lost the support of the Krieger and Claw sects but Xarus intended to solidify his power by sending his minions with lightbending technology that allowed them to stage an assault in daylight against the Krieger stronghold. Janus attempted to rally rebels against his brother only for the Claw sect to betray him thus allowing Xarus undisputed rule of vampires. (Death of Dracula v1 #1)
