Sire

The term Sire is used to describe the vampiric progenitor of a given vampire, or simply, the vampire responsible for bringing someone into Darkness through a bite used to administer the Crossover toxins. Every vampire has a Sire, regardless of whether the crossover was consenting or not. The vampire who is changed is known as the Childe or Host, and while some Childer (plural) eventually drift apart from their Sire's over time, some remain close to their Sire's through the course of their time in Darkness, particularly in the case of partners such as Justin and Taryn.
