Eldest

The Eldest: This one isn't universally recognized, as not all vampires believe that all are descended from a single vampire. Still, canon states that a male human became a vampire without being embraced, thus beginning the lineage. He is known in modernity as Caine, and he has powers that could probably rip the very Earth apart if he truly felt like it (certainly enough to curse the Antediluvians and their entire lineages, in spite of the power and numbers they possess), but he seems to prefer being left alone to suffer his curse in peace. The Gehenna scenario essentially starts with another eternal being who has been holding a grudge for his dumping her for about six millennia, seeking him out and starting a fight.
