	Although not a bloodline in the proper sense, the Vul were the caretakers of [[Median]] prior to its destruction at the hands of [[The Phage]]. The Vul consist of a myriad of ancients, all direct children or grandchildren of the Angelus. Within the walls of the city the Vul Brotherhood did not manifest any of the vampiric traits commonly associated with the Methuselah, however after the city's destruction and their exodus into the rest of the world many of these traits quickly began to manifest. Since the Vul have not procreated in millennia their population is very small, numbering only in the hundreds.

	Although not actually a species in their own right (they cannot reproduce), Ghouls are the result of an improper attempt to turn an individual (often with blood not drained from the victim's body).

-===Creating Methuselah===
+Prior to the exposure of the Methuselah to the general populace by the actions of [[Sector Prime]], the Methuselah were intricately involved in most aspects of modern human society and most have become adept at manipulating the capitalistic nature of society to cover up and finance their activities.
 Methuselah require the fresh blood of living beings, preferably the blood of Humans, in order to sustain their physical existence and, usually, obtained it by biting their victims and draining their blood. If a victim is drained of nearly all their blood it is possible for the Methuselah to feed that blood back to the victim infected with the Methuselah Virus. If this occurred the victim will turn into Methuselah of the same Bloodline as the parent (often referred to as the Sire or Dominus).
