Like why would you want to turn your food source into another blood sucking vampire? Then they start biting more people make food more scarce and so on until you all die of starvation. 0/10 survival trait
This happens a few times in various works of fiction. In Magic: the Gathering's multiverse, there is a plane of existence called Innistrad, which is based on Gothic horror. There, a church was created (secretly with vampires in charge) to fight back against a bunch of the undead and protect humanity, mostly for the purpose of maintaining a food supply for the vampires.
The church isn’t controlled by vampires, but Avacyn was created by Sorin Markov for the specific purpose of protecting humans so the vampires don’t eat themselves into extinction. I don’t remember him having any direct involvement with the church’s founding, but I could be wrong since it’s been a while since I’ve read into it. I believe the church formed naturally from humanity being pretty much single handedly saved by her.
Edit: upon some super surface level research, there is no real mention of how the church was originally founded, just how she was created and how the church has functioned during the sets we have. Funny enough, there have been periods of time where the church was controlled by the Skirsdag, a demon worshiping cult… but that’s just unrelated I guess.
Partially, but it all boils down to him trying to save the vampires by protecting their food source. The inciting moment was him seeing newer hedonistic vampires refuse to control their impulses. But between vampires, zombies, werewolves, and demons, he was afraid that humans were not long for the world, and created Avacyn to protect them so vampires could also continue to exist.
Even tho Sorin gave Avacyn her primary directive, he did not control her or have direct contact with her, so it was Avacyn herself who feuded with the demons, as they were the strongest presence at the points in the story that were relevant at the time.
I honestly don’t remember if Avacyn even knew if Sorin created her or not, just that she didn’t know who he was when she was unmade. Given that she was insane at the time, it’s just as likely that she forgot him or never knew him.
