The atmosphere with the vampires was something that Walker really enjoyed compared to the other areas of night life within Genesis. It wasn't just the ways that they focused on stone carvings to depict their race, but it was the general attitudes.
The way that all the vampires spoke was older and more refined. It came from years of being both in servitude, but also being a race with a much longer history. Because of this, they had developed their mannerisms to the point that it felt everything they did was well controlled.
However, there was also the fact that they focused themselves on the world around them a lot more now. Simply because they had been trapped in their city and used as slaves meant that they thirsted for everything outside the world.
