Spoilers ahead
Eight centuries ago, a fierce blood feud erupted between the Vampires and Lycans. At the center of this conflict were two brothers: Markus and William, children of Alexander Corvinus, with Markus being the first Vampire and William the first Lycan. In the year 1202, an army led by the three powerful vampire elders—Viktor](/actor/bill-nighy), Amelia, and Markus (played by Tony Curran)—scheduled a confrontation in a village devastated by Lycans. Viktor insisted that William needed to be dealt with, fearing his volatile nature, but Markus could not permit his brother’s demise. In a tragic twist, William’s reckless actions had transformed an entire village into Lycans, prompting the Vampires to take drastic measures by burning the bodies of the infected.
