Also in TheElderScrolls;

** One of the in-game books ([[http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Surfeit_of_Thieves Surfeit of Thieves]]) tells the story of a thief who was unlucky enough to end up [[MuggingTheMonster trying to rob a meeting of one of these]]. Another of the books ([[http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Immortal_Blood Immortal Blood]]) tells the story of a vampire hunter who sought out vampires and was eventually sent after this sort of trope by his contact...who turned out to be a member and promptly fed on him ([[spoiler: [[DownerEnding he appears as a vampire lord]] in ''{{Skyrim}}'', indicating that he was turned and [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie became a vampire for at least a few hundred years]].]]).
** ''{{Oblivion}}'' contains a subversion; [[spoiler: the count of Skingrad]] is a vampire, but absolutely detests them. Similarly, it's an OpenSecret in ''{{Skyrim}}'' that the court mage of Solutide is one, but she's a textbook BoomerangBigot.
** [[http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Laid_to_Rest One quest]] in ''{{Skyrim}}'' deals with a plot to [[spoiler: turn the entire town of Morthal into this trope (with everyone in the town either becoming a vampire or a SycophanticServant[=/=]Cattle).]]
** Dawnguard, the first DLC expansion for ''{{Skyrim}}'', will have this as a major faction which you can join or fight against. The trailer also hints that the bloodlines from {{Morrowind}} will be making a return.
