Higher Vampires

Higher Vampires are the original vampire form created by the God of Death. Their bite can create lesser vampires whose power is great but nothing compared to a fully fledged Higher Vampire. Unlike lesser Vampires, Higher Vampires aren't affected by sunlight as their magic does not dampen.

For a Higher Vampire to come into being they can be turned by another Higher Vampire but will be subservient to the one who turned them. Alternatively, the human Solgen discovered in 121AD that a human can turn himself into a Higher Vampire with the correct alchemy ingredients.

Higher Vampires are created extremely rarely as it isn't common vampires to ever interact with humans. In 738AD, Magnus created Brutus who is a Mountain Giant and the only one ever to be turned. Since 738AD, the only Higher Vampire to be created was Vorn in 1055AD when he found Solgens recipe.
