They are the souls of sufferers who 'belong neither to this life nor to the next' because of God's punishment.
In their long and lonely years, they were 'proud and lonely existence', 'dark night', 'coffin', blood, 'red wine', 'noble blood', 'ageless face'
They are noble and romantic, young and beautiful, and rich in aristocratic temperament. They are a kind of mysterious creature that sleeps in a coffin and is afraid of the sun.
They are the legendary creatures abandoned by gods and demons - vampires!
