Everything I love...
In the Underworld, Vampires are a secret clan of modern aristocratic sophisticates whose mortal enemies are the Lycans (werewolves), a shrewd gang of street thugs who prowl the city's underbelly. No one knows the origin of their bitter blood feud, but the balance of power between them turns even bloodier when a beautiful young Vampire warrior and a newly-turned Lycan with a mysterious past fall in love. Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman star in this modern-day, action-packed tale of ruthless intrigue and forbidden passion all set against the dazzling backdrop of a timeless, Gothic metropolis.
....VAMPIRE VS. LYCAN...
WHICH SIDE ARE YOU?
IMMORTAL ELDER
Alexander Corvinus is the first immortal - the genetic father of both Lycan and Vampire. A Hungarian warlord in the 6th century, Corvinus came to power as the first waves of the plague swept Europe. The Pestilence mutated within him and became The Mother Virus. He passed this on to his two sons, Marcus and William. One was bitten by a bat, the other a wolf. The virus again mutated within the sons of Corvinus, creating two separate diseases: Vampire and Lycan. For nearly a thousand years he has kept in the shadows, watching the havoc his sons have wrought upon each other and humanity. Unable to bring himself to destroy his sons, he works in secret to keep the war contained. As Marcus' new-found power threatens to escalate the conflict, Corvinus will need Selene and Michael's help to end the war once and for all.
VAMPIRE/LYCAN HYBRID
Until recently, Michael Corvin was a 28-year old emergency room doctor, completely unaware of his link to the Underworld and the war between Lycan and Vampire clans. Unbeknownst to him, he carried in his blood the genetic key that could turn the tide of the centuries-old conflict. In a single night, his life changed forever. No longer a human, Michael was infected with both Vampire and Lycan viral strains. He has become a hybrid, more powerful than either race. Now on the run with Selene, Michael struggles to make sense of his power and the life he must accept, but never chose.
ELDER/MEDIEVAL WARLORD
Marcus is the last surviving Elder and the first true vampire. The son of Alexander Corvinus, a bite from a bat caused the virus within him to mutate into the virulent Vampire strain. His twin brother, William, met a similar fate as the result of a bite from a wolf. But William's bite was highly infectious and populated the region with violent, Lycan beasts. Marcus was compelled to raise Vampire warriors like Viktor to control the Lycan horde. Marcus was due to be awakened by the Elder Amelia when she was betrayed by Kraven and slaughtered by Lycans. Instead, Marcus awoke with the blood of the Lycan scientist Singe coursing through his veins. Marcus has become a terrifying new breed with unfathomable strength and power.
IMMORTAL RULER
One of three ruling Vampire Elders, Viktor was a haughty, ostentatious Vampire overlord over 1,400 years old. One of the few vampires Selene respected and trusted, she awakened him prematurely from his 200-year slumber to convey her suspicions that the Coven would soon be attacked by a major Lycan offensive. Like most Vampires, he has a severe loathing for Lycans. Viktor's imposing presence and stoic demeanor made him an intimidating presence not only to his minions, but also to the many who wished him dead. Viktor however, possessed an ever darker side that no Vampire had ever known. To her horror, Selene discovered his actions initiated the savage battle between Lycans and vampires a millennium ago. Rather than see his own daughter wed to a Lycan, he made her lover, Lucian, watch as she burned to death. Viktor's murderous lies and betrayal came to an end when Selene struck him down with his own sword.
ELDER PRINCESS
Amelia's serene, exquisite beauty belied her history as a ferocious Vampire warrior. For centuries she ruled the Covens alongside Marcus and Viktor - one Elder to reign while the other two slumbered. Despite her power and station, Amelia fell victim to Kraven's treachery. Before she could awaken Marcus to assume command, she and the council members were ambushed and slaughtered by a team of Lycans.
VAMPIRE
Over a century ago, Arnaud Tannis was a trusted advisor to the Elders, the historian of the Covens. He fell from favor after documenting what were, in Viktor's opinion, "malicious lies." As punishment, Tannis was exiled and banished from the Covens for eternity. Since that time, Tannis has lived in an isolated, ancient monastery - though he's hardly a monk. Cut off from the Vampire world, Tannis is free to live his life as he chooses, indulging his decadent tastes and dealing in black market goods with the Lycans in exchange for security. As the Coven archivist, Tannis is privy to vital information that may help Selene to stop Marcus and end the war. But Tannis doesn't give anything away for free.
WEAPONS MASTER
Kahn was the weapons master and commander of the Death Dealers - the elite vampire fighting force. Like Selene, he was committed to winning the war against the Lycans, and was one of the few people worthy of her trust. In his Spartan dojo, Kahn maintained the team's arsenal of silver-tipped weapons. When Selene discovered the Lycans were using bullets filled with UV irradiated fluid, Kahn engineered their own version to even the playing field: a silver nitrate bullet, capable of delivering a toxic dose of silver directly into the bloodstream.
DEATH DEALER
Selene has devoted the latter part of her life to exterminating Lycans with the other members of her Vampire Coven, the Death Dealers. She believed that Lycans slaughtered his family when she was a child and devoted herself completely to avenging their death. She was told, and had always believed, that Viktor saved her life. He took Selene under his wing, and by converting her into a vampire personally not only made her immortal, but also made her infinitely stronger than her vampire kin. Viktor considered her his daughter, and Selene trusted him completely. Facing the retribution of the Covens after Viktor's death, Selene must escape with Michael. She must appeal to the last remaining Elder, Marcus, to plead for her life. She will soon find that Marcus is no longer the Vampire she knew, and has plans of his own.
COVEN DEALER
Kraven is an aristocratic Vampire monarch who is infatuated with power. He has secured reign over the Vampires during Viktor's hibernation. He is the epitome of the evolved Vampire species, a highly refined prince of darkness lavishing in the pleasures of sex, parties and manipulative power. On the surface, he maintains a calm distance from the archaic bloodbaths and violence of the relic Vampire covens. Yet underneath he is mischievous and conniving, using his lieutenant, Soren, to do his dirty work. Kraven's debonair charm disenchants the only thing his power cannot grant him: the unattainable love of Selene. Selene has no respect for him and frequently questions his orders, damaging Kraven's rather massive but fragile ego. However, Kraven's pursuit of Selene becomes all too close to his real pursuit of power when he realizes that Selene's intuitions jeopardize the very plan that he has spun into action.
SEDUCTRESS
A social-climbing courtier in Viktor's mansion, Erika is obsessed with climbing up the ranks of the Vampire aristocracy. She set her sights on Kraven as the object of her desire, only to be thwarted by his obsession with Selene. Jealous of his infatuation, she schemes to rid the Coven of Selene, betraying her plans to Kraven and aiding her escape.
VAMPIRE PRINCESS
Sonja was the daughter of Viktor, the Vampire Elder, whose love for the Lycan Lucian brought about the war that would rage for centuries. After being saved by Lucian from a mob of humans that murdered her mother, Sonja and Lucian began an affair and secretly married, despite Sonja already being engaged to a Vampire Prince. When Viktor discovered the affair and Sonja's pregnancy, he had her burned alive in front of Lucian to preserve the sanctity of the Vampire blood.
VAMPIRE HENCHMAN
Soren has been the right-hand man to Viktor for centuries. Previously a Viking before becoming a Vampire, Soren's skilled use of his silver-laced whips has proven to be a strong asset in the war against the Lycans.
LYCAN ELDER
William is the twin brother of Marcus and son of Alexander Corvinus. Like Marcus, an animal bite caused the virus within him to mutate. Within William, the Lycanthropy disease was born, turning him into a vicious Lycan larger and more powerful than any to follow. William's bite was highly infectious, populating the region with Lycans within a matter of days. Unlike modern Lycans, these creatures were mindless beasts, unable to regain their human form. Marcus found it necessary to raise an army of Death Dealers to keep the creatures at bay. Though William was extremely dangerous, Marcus could not bring himself to murder his own brother. Instead, he agreed to have his brother locked away for eternity. If he were to be freed, it could mean the end of humanity.
LYCAN MASTER
The legend of Lucian speaks of a dark master of the Lycan horde whose memory strikes fear into the hearts and souls of Vampires. His Lycan powers surpassed those of his kin not only in ferocity but also in cunning and sophistication. Lucian's legacy left an immense amount of carnage, death and hardship for the Vampires. Lucian helped the Vampire Elder Viktor to hunt down rebel Lycans believing himself to be superior to his wolfen brethren. When Lucian's love for the Vampire Princess Sonja ended in her execution, Lucian led the ultimate Lycan revolt that began the Underworld war.
It had been 600 years since his rule ended, six centuries without real terror in the Underworld. But Lucian had only been lying low, biding his time until he could find the means to become even more powerful than either Vampire or Lycan. Conspiring with Kraven, Lucian faked his death in order to go underground to amass an army and plot the demise of the Vampires. Lucian's death at Kraven's hands made Kraven a powerful figure in the Coven, setting him up to become leader once Lucian and his army returned. While Lucian continued to scheme with Kraven, he searched for the Corvinus blood that would give him the power of both Lycan and Vampire.
LYCAN ENFORCER
250 pounds of Lycan horror, Raze thrives on murderous intent and vengeful passion for the justice owed to his kind. Raze was once an African warrior leader known as Koro who fought to protect his tribe from European Vampire and Lycan invaders. After accidentally becoming a Lycan, he became an outcast to his people and joined Lucian in the Underworld war under his new identity, Raze. He is the enforcer of the Lycan regime, a gladiator type warrior with a refined knowledge of guerilla warfare that only comes from decades of Underworld battle experience. He is part of an elite task force hunting the descendants of Corvinus, one of whom may hold the key to Lycan evolution.
LYCAN SCIENTIST
In a makeshift laboratory in an abandoned subway car, the Lycan scientist Singe carried out his experiments to combine the Vampire and Lycan blood lines. He believed the desendants of the first immortal, Alexander Corvinus, carried in their blood a copy of the Mother Virus from which both races were born. Only a pure source could be used to create a hybrid - a creature possessing the qualities of both, but more powerful than either. For years they searched in vain for a candidate, until they found Michael Corvin. Captured and tortured by Selene, Singe revealed the plan to Viktor. In a fury, Viktor struck Singe dead with a single blow. As Singe's Lycan blood flowed, it dripped into the tomb of Marcus - the last remaining Vampire Elder and a direct descendant of Alexander Corvinus - awakening him from his long slumber.
LYCAN HENCHMAN
Henchmen to Lucian, Pierce & Taylor disguised themselves as police officers in order to track and capture Michael and bring him back to the Lycan lair. They were often chided by Lucian for wrestling naked in front of the other Lycans.

Goddess Athena
You are most like Athena. She was the divine sponsor of warriors and heroes, she introduced several of the arts and crafts necessary for civilization, and she represented wisdom. Obviously, the goddess played a prominent role in Greek mythology. The poet Hesiod states that Athena emerged from the head of Zeus; indeed, she sprang out fully grown and armed for battle. The idea that she was born from a male underscores her relationship with men, both divine and human. In the human realm, Athena consistently becomes a protector of heroes; while in the divine she completely avoids sexual liaisons with gods.
