12,000 years ago, in the primeval forests of Earth, ancient aliens were attempting to create a new race of humans to be their slaves. They were genetically engineering the existing species by mixing their own DNA with that of the humans. In the process, they unknowingly unleashed upon the world the first and only true vampire. A mysterious girl appears in the Long Island laboratory of brilliant, young geneticist Dr. John Elder. She needs his assistance but cannot reveal what she is. To get his help, a treacherous scheme was designed and put into play by her and her horde of lesser vampires. She has been trying for millennia to create a new race of true vampires to rule the world, but her mutated DNA has stood in the way of her achieving that dream. With the expertise of Dr. Elder, she believes she can solve that problem and eventually reduce the human race to nothing more than herds of cattle for her people to feed on. She has fought many battles in the past, including a two century long struggle against the Knights Templar, which she eventually caused to be disbanded and most of its members burned at the stake. In recent years she has become increasingly paranoid and has been keeping her identity secret, believing that top-secret government agencies have been looking for her and would be able to find her using new sophisticated technology. She may not be totally wrong.
