No matter which vampire clan they belonged to, vampires had to undergo "ancestral transformation" to break through to a new level of existence. From awakening the power of their earliest ancestors, to forging silver power, to comprehending the Transcendent Golden Law, it all followed the fundamental principle of "tracing back one's bloodline."
Vampire bloodlines were clearly a classic example of "fantasy bloodlines": the closer they were to their source, the more powerful they became.
In previous publicity about the power of the vampire race, vampires could trace their bloodlines back to the founding grand dukes of their respective clans.

The source of every existing vampire power system lay in that mysterious being. And in this ancient memory, now nearing its end, Murphy had clearly seen the limit of Fato's bloodline regression.
