Primogenitors (真祖, Shinso, lit. "True Ancestor"), or Progenitors, are vampires who were previously devas and, as such, the first among all, becoming the oldest among all. They are the most powerful, with powers rivaling the strength of entire national armies.

The three original Primogenitors maintained a balance of power between them, as each Primogenitor possessed the same strength as a large military force. When the Fourth Primogenitor was "born," an imbalance of power ensued, and the three Primogenitors debated whether to go to war, have him killed, or let him rule.

The Fourth Primogenitor is an artificial Vampire created by the three Primogenitors and Devas (demigods of an advanced ancient civilization) as the strongest weapon to help them fight Cain upon his return. After its creation, they deemed it too powerful and decided that it could not be controlled. They later split its powers into 12 beings (12 ribs) known as "Kaleid Blood." The twelve Kaleid Bloods gained human form and are tasked with observing "Root." Root resides within Avrora Florestina, the 12th Kaleid Blood, and acts as a guardian for "Root." She is sealed within an ancient ruin known as Fairy's Coffin.

When rumors spread that the Fourth Primogenitor had awakened, various factions began to fear that Cain's return might be near and started preparing for what was yet to come.

Overview

Primogenitors were emperors who ruled over the clans of darkness. They were the oldest, equipped with the vastest magical energy, the "first vampires." Each commanded an army of thousands or tens of thousands of their brethren, constructing sovereign Dominions on three seperate continents.

A primogenitor holding sway over a Dominion was treated the same as a national army under international law. Even when the Fourth Primogenitor, lacked both retainers and brethren, was technically no exception.

Vampire primogenitors are categorized as weapons of mass destruction or natural disasters.

Personality

Vampire primogenitors lived for an eternity. They had an incredible amount of time to kill and constantly craved entertainment.

Members

First Primogenitor, Lost Warlord

Lost Warlord, known as Ki Juranbarada is the ruler of the world's oldest dominion, the Warlord's Empire. Even among the three Primogenitors publicly acknowledged to exist, the Lost Warlord was both the most dangerous and the most mysterious.

Second Primogenitor, Fall Gazer

Fall Gazer, known as Aswad-Guul Aziz is the ruler of the Fallen Dynasty. Of the three publicly known Primogenitors, he is the most mysterious, and almost no one knows his true identity, even among his own bloodline.

Third Primogenitor, Chaos Bride

Chaos Bride, known as Giada Kukulcan, she who ruled the Chaos Zone, a Dominion of Central America. One of the three primogenitors proper.

Fourth Primogenitor, Kaleid Blood

A vampire split off from all vampiric brethren, alone, aloof, and the mightiest of all.

Kaleid Blood, known as Kojou Akatsuki is the ruler of the Empire of the Dawn. The Fourth Primogenitor was widely known as immortal and indestructible. Rejecting his vampire brethren, he did not desire domination, but only the service of the twelve Beast Vassals that were disaster incarnate, the sipping of blood, carnage, and destruction. The vampire was said to be ruthless and heartless, completely beyond the doctrines of the world—a monster who had laid waste to many cities in the past.

Abilities

Beast Vassal Summoning: As with most Vampires, Primogenitors are capable of summoning Beast Vassals. All Primogenitors have more than one Beast Vassals.

• The First Primogenitor has control of 72 Beast Vassals.

• The Second Primogenitor has control of 19 Beast Vassals.

• The Third Primogenitor has control of 27 Beast Vassals.

• The Fourth Primogenitor has control of 12 Beast Vassals.

Infinite Demonic Energy: Created by way of a curse from the very gods, vampire primogenitors possessed an inexhaustible negative life force. In other words, that meant their demonic energy was truly infinite.

Curse of Immortality: Primogenitors cannot be killed by conventional means. Any lethal blow to their body heals rapidly, and even the most fatal injuries—such as decapitation—fail to end them. Kojou Akatsuki demonstrated this ability when he was decapitated and left in his observer's arms, only to effortlessly return to life, completely unscathed.

High Magical Resistance: A vampire primogenitor had a strong resistance against magic, and it was said the resistance to magic that interfered with the mind was particularly strong.

Enhanced Vampiric Abilities: They possess supernatural strength, speed, reflexes, and durability; they are far more powerful than normal Vampires.

Trivia

• The number of Beast Vassals the primogenitors can control might be based on:
  • Solomon and his seventy-two pillars.
  • The 19 Apostles of Bahá'u'lláh.
  • The 27 stars of Nakshatra.
  • The 12 Zodiac constellations.
• There are only three primogenitors. The fourth is merely an urban legend spread by The Blood a mere rumor without any basis in fact. However over the long, long months, that legend had turned into hard fact. Through the machinations of various forces, several layers of coincidence, and the desires of many people, they had made that legendary monster real.
• The Fourth Primogenitor was not acknowledged to actually exist. It was the offsetting by the mutual rivalries of the three Dominions ruled by the three primogenitors that upheld the global military balance. The emergence of a fourth primogenitor would easily cause that balance to crumble. The Fourth Primogenitor was a dangerous being, its very existence potentially the trigger for a great conflict.
