Origin
Cain originates from the Bible and is the first murderer as he killed his brother Abel. Often in media he is depicted to be cursed because of it, with common depictions of him being immortal.
In vampire mythology, Cain was cursed by God, as punishment for his crime. The myths are varied from there, but some say the curse placed upon him is what turned him to vampirism, while others vampires were the spawn of Cain and Lilith, Adam's first wife.
