The Originals are pure-blood vampires, and also are the first vampires in existence beside the first Demon Vampire Lilith Gaian and as such, all vampires are blood-descended from them, they are also significantly much more powerful than any other vampire created since then regardless if they were normal Vampires or Ancient Vampires.
History[]
Members[]
At any one time there are sixteen Originals, although only fifteen to date have been made, Cain turned the first Eight whom then could only turn their Mates. The more Originals that are created, for unknown reasons, the harder it becomes to make more Originals. Only one Original remains, and that Original is to be Cain's mate.
Cain Edenson[]

He is the first of the Originals, the Original Vampires as they were and he himself documented the creation of the Ancient Vampires and their diluted "normal kin" seen in the modern day, he ruled Babylon a long time ago although it was said he was originally ancient Celtic if his accent is anything to go by. He is actually a close relative of Adam and Eve, he killed his brother out of jealousy for loving another, becoming cursed by God as the first invincible Vampire.

Mack Pendennis[]
- Main article: Mack Pendennis (Curse of Cain Series)
The Fourth Original ever created and one of the seven that are currently awake travelling the world during the time of Cain's awakening, he is an Ancient Celtic Prince as his name suggests - Mack being the Celtic meaning for "son of the King" - but his family was murdered, found by the travelling Cain he was given Immortality as his "adopted brother". He is described as having short dark hair, dark and fierce blue eyes, broad shoulders and a muscular body like a model or footballer.
Mack shares Cain's skill in Telekinesis, however Mack also seems to have two extra abilities: a far more powerful and controlled version of Alice's Precognition which has been classified as "Clairvoyance", and a enhanced sixth sense used for sensing danger or tracking. Like the other Originals, and unlike Cain however, Mack doesn't have the Curse of Cain and therefore despite only being temporarily killed doesn't benefit from the invulnerability powers belonging to Cain's own private curse despite being immune to its effects by being a direct Vampire to Cain's bloodline.
Seeq Pendennis[]

Seeq Pendennis - pronounced "Za-eek", being short and originally for the native American name Sequoyah which means "Sparrow" in the Native Cherokee tribe - was the Fifth Original and one of the seven that are currently awake travelling the world during the time of Cain's awakening, he is the twin brother of another Native Vampire: Jacy. He was turned with his brother when they showed interest, he is Mack's mate and was turned by Mack, while his brother was turned by their new eldest "adopted brother": Cain. His eyes are Dark Brown while his hair is Black, straight, and long. He is Slim, slightly taller and heavier than his twin brother, identifying marks include a tattoo of a circle with a line through it on his shoulder.
Seeq and his brother share the same special abilities, they are Telepaths so strong that they make Edward seem like a con-artist in comparison, Seeq however is stronger than his brother and has developed the ability to confirm if a person's thoughts are telling the truth, however like his brother he can also control the thoughts or actions of a person mentally as well as having a strong telepathic link with his twin.

Weaknesses[]
- White Oak Stake - is the only thing that can permanently kill an Original, It comes from an Ancient White Oak tree during the time of the genesis of the Vampire Race, the White Oak Tree however was burned down so no White Oak remains.
- Silver Dagger and the Ash of White Ash Wood - A Silver Dagger dipped in the ash of the white oak tree will kill an original but only as long as the dagger remains in their heart thereby neutralizing them.
- Stakes - Stakes will not permanently kill an original but it does neutralize them for a few hours.
