The Vampire
 
 
The Vampire is  mythical creature.  This is some amount of dissentia about who the first Vampire Was.  Caine, or Lilith.  If you don't know anything about the Hebrew bible this might not make much sence.  This happens during the times described in the book of genisis.  I suggest that if you haven't read it do.  Not because of the religous aspect but the great mythological history it presents, it is key to understanding a lot of Ancient literature.
 

 
Lilith
 
Lilith was Adam's (the first man) first wife, created before Eve.  She was created of the Earth like Adam. Because of her equality in invention she demanded to be Adam's Equal. She demanded that during sexual intercourse she be allowed on top. When it became ovious she could not fight Adam she uttered the holy name of god and he flew her out of Eden (the Garden). When she left Eden she engaged in sex with the Deamons of earth, and had children, hundreds fo them all demonic children, called Lilim.  After she left Adam was lonely, and wanted god to fetch her so he sent out three angels, Sanvai, Sansanvai, and Semangelof .  She told him that she would not return but if any children were born she would spare thier lives is she saw the names of the angels printed above the door.
After Lilith left Eden God created Eve out of a rib of Adam.  Adam and eve who gave into the temtation of Satan (lucifer, an arch angel) who appeared to them as a serpant, were also banished and made mortal.  However Lilith never ate from the tree of Knowledge so she was imortal.
I also heard a story of Lilith giving birth to seven children of adam. she designated that they go to seven animals. when she gave birth one she designated to be given to the serpant was stillborn.  The serpant however still wanted the baby.  There is a story that this Lilim (one of Lilith's demonic children) was the vampire.
 

 
 
Caine
 
 When Adam and Eve were exiled from Eden they were made to feel hunger, and God told them that they would have to work the land for food.  They had 3 son.
Caine was the oldest son, a brohter named Abel, and one coming much later named Seth.  Abel was a shepard and Caine worked tilling the soil.  They both made sacrafices to God,  Abel bringing  the first of his livestock, Caine bringing vegitation that he grew.  God disliked the gift from Caine favoring that of Abel and Caine was very jealous.   Caine kills his brother out of that jealousy.  God in his anger banishes Caine from the ground, he would no longer be able to take produce from it.  Being that the acts of his parents made him need nurishment the only other choice for food is flesh. God marks him so that no one will kill him.  Caine was the first murderer and for his crime he was transformed into what we would call a  vampire. Exiled from his people, Caine was forced to stalk the fringes of civilazation fearful of the sun and ravengous for blood.  In his lonelyness, Caine came upon the mighty Lilith (read Above).  Lilith taught him to use his blood for mighty magic.  She taught him how to use his blood to envoke mystic powers, and how to creat others of his kind.
