Hannibal Drake
This can be easily explained. Max, remember how you said we're beings of sin and darkness? Well, one of the Seven Deadly Sins is Lust. Perhaps the modern generation isn't as afraid of the vampire as they were all those Milleniea ago? Perhaps these humans see as lustful demons because we have lost our place in their fears?
And for those who don't know me, I am Hannibal Drake. I am a comrade to Maximillion DeDrake. I think we might be distant relatives, or it could be just coinsidence that we have similar names.
I believe we just may be Hannibal, relatives that is. I know of the Seven Deadly sins quite well but perhaps I was too vague...
We are living sin, we live only through sin. No reference to lust, greed or pride ETC.
We kill and indulge ourselves in luxuries that we take from our victims. We continue to do so for survival, if we do not sin, we cease to exist.
I also believe a vampire has the same thought capacity and capability of evil as a human. Humans are born in sin *Biblical reference* and can be saved through their various religions in their life time. We, however, LIVE sin, not only born into it like humans... We live forever if we are intelligent enough to survive and adapt to new eras. We have no religion and can not go to "heaven" yet we live in a virtual hell.
With every life we take, the more our own life span is lengthened...
We are sin... We are darkness... But together we will thrive.
