lucifer met with a man who desired immortality in the mid 1200s, and after a short discussion decided to grant it to him, but it came with a price. the man was cursed to drink human blood as his only sustenance, and he was no longer able to experience the sun anymore. this man went on to create more of his kind throughout the world, an unintended side-effect of lucifer's plan, but not one he was displeased with.
lilith found a woman who desired power, to be as strong as the wolves she hunted and she gave it to her, but she was to be half wolf herself. cursed to change on the full moon, she would live long years with this affliction, and would create others with her recklessness.
