* FantasticRacism: The Bad Bloods were a street gang who took in Blade as a child and ended up bitten and turned by him. Although they seem to be ordinary vampires (they are not daywalkers) and hate Blade, they are shunned by the other vampires and called "mongrels". The only way for them to join a vampire house is to do something very useful, like bring in Blade. Additionally, members of the House of Leichen are VegetarianVampires, who view other vampires as unenlightened savages and refuse to deal with them. They also rarely allow vampires of other Houses into their safe houses and headquarters, claiming that they smell bad from drinking human blood.
