Vampires

Vampires are one of the races in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai and were once an ally of the Demon Clan in the war 3,000 years ago.

Overview
Three thousand years ago, a clan of vampires fought as vassals for the Demon Clan in the Great Holy War. Sometime during the war the Vampire King Izraf had plotted a secret rebellion as he despised being subservient to the Demon King. However, the Demon King personally and single-handedly defeated the Vampire Clan and as punishment, made the vampires an example of what happens to traitors. Zeldris, the Demon King's executioner, was tasked to execute them but unable to bring himself to kill Gelda, his lover, he instead sealed them away in an ancient sarcophagus.

Twelve years ago through some unknown means the seal was broken and the Vampires escaped. To reestablish themselves they chose to conquer the Kingdom of Edinburgh, doing so in one night by massacring the population and turning them into vampires along with its Holy Knights.

Appearance
Vampires have humanoid appearances, but are characterized with a pair of fangs and most likely a pale complexion.
