Throw all the autistic and fetishistic takes on vampires out of the window and reconceptualize them as what they truly represent: Narcissistic psychopaths who usurp and exploit whatever and whoever they can, just ones whose vices corrupt them into inhuman monsters, in a Gollum sort of way, that have to keep up a façade of humanity to keep exploiting humans. Palpatine and Mr. Burns make for much better vampires than 90% of vampires.

History/Mythology: Vampires are satanic priests, either as part of an evil priesthood or as usurpers of a good priesthood
