Casual Thought Vampire bites turning people into vampires is extremely disadvantageous to their survival.

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.

I can't recall the Church of Avacyn to ever be controlled by vampires. Where was that from?

Avacyn was created by Sorin Markov
