Raphael Magiano had been alive and walking the earth for a very long time.
As one of only five vampires on earth who had been alive for more than eight hundred years, he was something of a symbol of nobility for his entire race.
With his age came knowledge, and he was able to see the rise and fall of various civilizations and learn from them in the same manner that a student would a book.
After the centuries passed by, he learned that there was only one challenge preventing the inhuman races of this world from truly thriving without worry over the hunters.
And that was the unity that could be brought about from all of their collective participation.
So like the natural leader and idealist that he was, he had no choice but to enact a plan himself to make that reality possible.
Once he settled on a safe haven, he immediately began discreet construction.
Haiti was a near perfect choice.
