About the Crusniks and Methuselahs...


I watched this show for the first time some months ago, and I got totally hooked. However, because I'm so busy, I have so far only been able to catch a few episodes, but I (try to) compensate through Wikipedia and the more helpful Youtube.

However, one matter bothers me: the classic definition of a vampire is an undead person who drinks blood and cannot withstand daylight/silver/etc. Yet the vampires in the series appear to be humans infused with alien nanotechnology, making them, technically, space vampires. Cool, but shouldn't they be more alien-like?

And if Abel is a vampire (although a good guy), then how come he can be a priest and handle silver and holy weaponry?

Crusniks, as far as I understood, are not the same kind of Vampires as Methuselahs. They feed on Methuselahs blood. There is a difference in their organisms, and they are more resistant and powerful, so this is why Abel can handle silver and can be a priest.

I don't think that any source ever gives a clear picture on where the Methuselahs came from..all it really tells us is they showed up after WWIII...as for the Crusniks they are not vampire per say...they are the ones that were scientificly created...and they are vampires who feed only on other vampires.

How Abel became part of the Vatican...well, I'm not sure really because we don't know when he joined the Vatican. If he joined once Caterina became an adult, I would wager she pulled a lot of sway and got him in..after all, he saved her as a child.

Actually, it does. You can check wikipedia :D

Nightroad is a genetically enhanced Vampire who drinks the blood of evil Vampires. If you could recall in video games such as Castlevania, the Dracula hunters were sometimes Vampire. Dracula is basically a dark Christian.

Abel Nightroad is more like a shape shifter. I don't think he becomes a Vampire until he activates his Nano-machines at will.
