Vampires

The Vampire Clan is one of the races in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai.

Overview
Three thousand years ago, the Vampire Clan 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 but failed, and as such the Vampire Clan were to be made an example of. Zeldris of the Demon Clan was tasked to execute them but instead chose to seal them away in an ancient sarcophagus (it was mentioned he did this for Meliodas). 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.
