Vampire

Vampires are a type of Nightwalker that feed on human blood. They consider themselves above nightbreeds and humans. They are immortal and do not age or get sick although they seem to be repulsed by silver like other Nightwalkers. They can be reduced to ashes by sunlight, though they gain a resistance to it the older they become.

Vampire blood is toxic to nightbreeds, as Shido has used his blood many times to kill them. In one case, even a single drop of his blood was enough to burn away a nightbreed.

Origin
A vampire is created when a vampire drinks a human's blood. The vampire then feeds the human their blood and thus they will die and then awaken as vampires.

Powers
They possess great strength and speed and are many times stronger then a human. Among abilities is the capability to shape their blood into various weapons (a sword, whip, and flurry of bullets are the only ones seen), climb walls, and manipulate their shadow to create a doppelganger of themselves. Cain, a very old vampire, was able to create illusions capable of fooling other vampires, levitate (and presumably fly to some degree), lengthen his hair to entangle opponents, unleash telekinetic blasts, and create small force fields.
