Vampire Knights

Marcus took the initiative to approach Chen Mo and became his subordinate.

He begged Chen Mo to help him find his twin brother, William, the source of the werewolf calamity and the Progenitor Lycan, and hoped that Chen Mo would provide them with shelter and a space to survive.

For many years, he and his brother William, despite possessing immortal bodies and immense strength, have always been regarded as outcasts by humans, who have sought to eliminate them.

He himself hid himself well during the day and only dared to come out quietly at night, always avoiding human sight, for fear of being discovered by humans by accident.

He lived this cautious life for many, many years.

In Marcus's view, werewolves and vampires should be the true rulers of the earth. They are powerful and immortal, and they are the most perfect creatures in the world, and they should rule the world.

Now, he sees an opportunity to rule the world in Chen Mo. With the enormous power Chen Mo possesses, once all of them are transformed into vampires, the entire world will eventually fall under their rule.

At that time, he, the progenitor of vampires, will be able to stand at the top of the world, no longer needing to hide and live cautiously as before. All humans will become their slaves, and vampires will become the true rulers of this world.

The reason Marcus didn't wait until Chen Mo was old and near death to tempt Chen Mo with immortality, as in the movie, was because Chen Mo's strength was simply too great. Not to mention the astonishing power he himself displayed, the Knights he commanded was far more powerful than Victor's decades later in the movie.

Marcus feared that if he didn't show up soon, his brother William might be killed by Chen Mo or his Knights.

At the same time, he also needs Chen Mo's help to control the ever-increasing werewolf population; otherwise, these Beasts will destroy the world.

Having witnessed firsthand the astonishing scene of Chen Mo unleashing Thunder from his hand and incinerating the werewolves, Marcus was initially shocked and regarded Chen Mo as a god.

But after the initial shock, he calmed down and carefully analyzed everything that had happened, and then doubts arose.

If he were truly a god, he could have wiped out all the werewolves in one strike, without needing to kill them one by one, nearly causing casualties among the Knight of the Knights. Based on this, Marcus concluded that Chen Mo was definitely not a god, but at most an "anomaly" with magical powers like himself.

In some ways, they are the same kind of people as ordinary humans.

Whether for the safety of his brother William or for his own ambitions, Marcus eventually took the initiative to approach Chen Mo and successfully joined his ranks.

Marcus guessed that Chen Mo knew his name so readily because Chen Mo likely learned it from his father. After all, the only person in the world who knew his name was his father, who had given him and William their special bloodline and made them immortal.

Marcus was unaware that although Chen Mo had never met his father, he had been searching for him all along!

Alexander Corvinus, the world's first immortal!

Alexander Corvinus, a 5th-century Hungary warlord, was the only survivor of a plague that swept across Europe, destroying the region he ruled.

It turns out that he was a born mutant, possessing "Pure Blood"!

The "Pure Blood" within him can fuse with any gene to enhance himself. However, his "Pure Blood" was originally latent until the plague virus awakened his abilities, enabling him to survive the plague and evolve, becoming the first immortal being in history.

His three children inherited this special constitution from him. Marcus and William were bitten by bats and wolves respectively. After merging with bat viruses and rabies viruses, they evolved and became the progenitors of vampires and werewolves.

Vampires and werewolves are both immortal beings, but they both have fatal weaknesses: vampires are afraid of sunlight, while werewolves are afraid of silver.

Meanwhile, both of his sons became incredibly bloodthirsty. The difference was that Marcus had to rely on drinking blood to survive, while Marcus had completely lost his mind, turned into Beast, and become insanely bloodthirsty.

After discovering that his two sons had become mutants, Alexander Corvinus, as the father, could not bring himself to kill them. In the end, he had no choice but to expel them. At the same time, he remained hidden behind the scenes, silently watching over his two sons.

Alexander Corvinus always believed that the world belonged to humankind, not his son, so he secretly helped them clean up the mess and keep everything under control.

In the entire Underworld, the most valuable thing to Chen Mo was the "Perfect Blood" from the progenitor of the undead.

While vampires and werewolves can grant immortality and significantly boost one's strength, their drawbacks are too obvious, and the changes they cause to the body are unacceptable to Chen Mo. He doesn't want to become a monster. The purest "Pure Blood," on the other hand, doesn't have these problems, which is what Chen Mo truly needs.

Chen Mo had been searching for him all along, but had not found him. This was partly because Chen Mo's caravan had limited reach and its intelligence gathering was incomplete. In addition, Alexander Corvinus, who had been hiding in the shadows for hundreds of years and cleaning up his two sons' messes, was not easy to find.

But Chen Mo knew that once he found his two sons, finding him wouldn't be far off, which was the main reason Chen Mo kept Marcus around.

However, besides being used to bring out Covinas, Marcus wasn't entirely useless.

Although Chen Mo himself doesn't need it, all of his Knight can be transformed into vampires. At that time, the strength of the entire Knights will be greatly enhanced, making it much easier to deal with werewolves, worldly forces, or Alexander Corvinus hiding behind the scenes.

As for the vampire's fatal weakness of fearing sunlight, Chen Mo naturally had a way to deal with it.

After using Marcus to transform hundreds of Knight under his Knights into vampires, Chen Mo Marcus refused when Marcus was about to bite him.

This caught Marcus somewhat off guard. His original plan was to use the lure of becoming stronger and living longer to turn Chen Mo and all the Knights under his command into vampires. Then he would tell a carefully prepared lie to make Chen Mo wary and prevent him from discarding Chen Mo after he had served his purpose.

However, Chen Mo had no intention of turning into a vampire, which completely disrupted Marcus's plans and put him in a difficult position. If he revealed the lie now, would Chen Mo simply give up on the transformation altogether? After weighing the options, Marcus still delivered the prepared statement as planned.

He believed that Chen Mo could not resist the temptation of immortality. He was still young and was wary of him, which was why he refused to become a vampire. Once he felt the passage of time and life, he would eventually beg him to turn him into a vampire as well. Who wouldn't want Eternal Life?

Upon hearing Marcus's statement that if the Progenitor Lycan died, their descendants would also die, Chen Mo simply nodded calmly without much reaction, which made Marcus even more confused about Chen Mo's thoughts.

However, Marcus believed that Chen Mo would still be influenced by this lie and would not dare to easily harm him. After all, even if he didn't need Chen Mo to obtain immortality in the future, he would not easily give up the Knight under his command, so he should be safe.

In the movie, Marcus's lies did indeed deceive Victor. In order to protect himself, his men, and the werewolf slaves, Victor was always wary of Marcus.

Even though he controlled the vast majority of the vampire warriors and could easily kill the lone Marcus, Victor still made him an elder, and together they took turns ruling the entire vampire family.

Marcus's ultimate goal has always been to make the undead the rulers of the earth, while he himself would become the Eternity master of the undead, God!

Although he failed to rule the world, Marcus did achieve his plan, turning the then dominant human race— Victor's faction—into vampires, transforming them from enemies into allies in their quest to rule the Earth.

Chen Mo was naturally not fooled by this lie, but he would not make a move against Marcus for the time being. He still needed Marcus to find William and lure out Alexander Corvinus.

The Knights now number over six hundred, and converting them one by one will take a considerable amount of time. While Marcus is converting them into vampires one by one, Chen Mo is also beginning to address the issue of vampires' fear of sunlight.

Chen Mo had already planned for this.

After Andrew was the first to be converted into a vampire, Chen Mo conducted experiments on him. Just as Chen Mo had guessed, after becoming a vampire, Andrew possessed a special ability similar to bat echolocation.

After a period of deliberate training, Andrew mastered this ability very easily. He could perceive his surroundings without using his eyes, relying solely on his hearing. Moreover, this perception was comprehensive, even more accurate and complete than what the eyes could see.

With his suspicions confirmed, the biggest problem was solved. Under Chen Mo's orders, the secret workshop went into full operation. Accompanied by the constant hammering sounds that echoed throughout the Castle, one exquisite and gorgeous new suit of armor after another was produced.

Wearing the full-body armor redesigned by Chen Mo, which even covers the eyes, the vampire knight can go out and fight even during the day. As long as the armor is not torn, the Vampire Knight inside will not be harmed by the sunlight in the slightest.

A powerful legion of Vampire Knight, fearless of sunlight, was born!
