› aristocrats

When an aristocrat is killed, they turn to dust, as do all the other levels below them. These aristocratic vampires are still able to be compelled by Purebloods, but enjoy a much more independent lifestyle in general. The Council of Elders is usually made up of Aristocrats.

Unlike Purebloods, who are revered to the point other vampires would kill anyone who would "sully" their bloodline, Aristicracts face no prejudice if they choose to marry humans. It remains unclear if the offspring of an Aristocrat is considered to drop to Level C if they reproduce with humans for a few generations. On the other hand, it's likely an Aristocract's descendants can become more powerful if they reproduce with Purebloods for a few generations. While never able to truly pure the human ancestry from their lineage, an Aristocract born this way could be considered a Level B+. It's been noted that if an aristocrat has a child with a human, the child's vampire genetics are largely unaffected.

Aristocrats are noted to die when they lose the will to live. It's likely the lifespan of aristocrats is determined by how pure their vampire blood is. Aristocrats are also to have been noted to die when they lose the will to live.
