introduction to the UNDERWORLD saga

Who likes vampire vs werewolf movies?

Today I bring you a saga exactly about that, a war between vampires and werewolves, and if you thought I was talking about twilight, you are very wrong hahah.

I plan to talk about the whole saga in this single post, but I am the one who is addicted to reading, I am not going to force you to read 5 pages 😆, so I am going to give an introduction and this will help you to know if you will be interested in the next post that I will be uploading on this topic 

So sit down for a moment to read this because it's going to take a moment...

Once upon a time there was a Hungarian warlord and nobleman named Alexander Corvinus who rose to power in the fifth century, just in time to see his people die from an unknown plague, Alexander's body managed to adapt the virus into a response immune, thus becoming the original carrier of the corvinus strain the first immortal.

the corvinus strain is a recessive genetic anomaly that when inherited in its active form gives its carrier immortality and has the ability to mutate when subjected to a gene fusion, it is capable of maintaining and harboring more than one virus 

Years later he marries a mortal woman named Helena with whom he conceives three children, the first two twins who inherited the corvinus strain in its active form and a third who inherited the strain in its recessive form.

Who must be taken into account in this timeline is the twins, Marcos and William, both twins had a very strong connection with each other, according to the prologue of the novelization of "the revelion of the Lycans" both brothers they were quite trusting because they were aware of the fact that they were immortal, so they both ventured to ride at night with the conviction that nothing could hurt them, one of those nights, they were stalked by a huge raging wolf with black fur that attacked from the shadows of the trees the wolf launched himself first to Marcus who was left helpless because his horse panicked William went ahead of the wolf and killed the wolf with his sword but it bit his wrist in his agony.

Marcus took his twin to a nearby inn, to see his injuries, but willian became ill as the night progressed, the corvinus strain present in Willian's body reacting to the rabies virus and the wolf's DNA, mutating and changing the entire physical composition of william, thus becoming the first werewolf.

later Marcus was bitten by a rabid bat, in unknown circumstances, and we already know the process, his active Corvinus strain reacted to the virus and the bat's DNA, transforming into the first Vampire (how convenient )

Unlike Marcus, William became a Beast unable to control himself and was never able to return to his human form, going to nearby towns infecting entire towns with the virus creating an army of werewolves.

Due to the devastation that his brother is experiencing, a worried William approaches Victor, a lord of the war in a convalescent state, to ask him for his military genius and his army in exchange for immortality, he accepted and became one of the vampires elders along with Amelia. (Although he was Victor's right hand in the novelization and the movies, his character has no relevance and was quite wasted).

Continuing with the story, Vitor turned his army into immortals and thus began the search for William and the war between vampires and werewolves.

this scene located in 1202, 800 years later, a group of soldiers (dead dealers) led by victor arrived at an ungara village, instead of finding only William the army found an entire village of newly converted werewolves, victor's army and Amelia managed to catch William subduing him and seriously injuring him, this was not Marcus's intention, so he argues with Victor for his brother's life, but Victor and Amelia betray him and lock William up for life.

Victor had the idea that if any of the brothers died the immortal bloodline would eventually die but this was a lie told by Marcus.

Marcus couldn't do anything because he was surrounded by Victor's army and they were only loyal to him, So William was locked up on Victor's orders in a place where Marcus couldn't find him, for eternity, and Marcus was put to hibernate.

the army of dead dealers was the first coven of vampires and a chain government was implemented, in which only one of the elder vampires ruled while the other two slept in hibernation until their awakening, thus victor was the greatest ruler of the vampires and was cast as the oldest and strongest vampire.

Well guys you may be wondering why I made you read all of the above haha, well let me tell you something personal, I have a tick for the order haha so much that I amuse myself separating my daughter's garters by color order hahahah.

So, this saga was published without a continuous line order. I really would liked that they gave me this context when I saw the first movie of this saga.

I think that all the fans of this saga would have liked that because the first movie survived by a hair's breadth, being that they only gave us a brief flashback as an explanation in the movie, so if you liked or were interested in what you read...

After this I will be publishing each movie with my review in the correct order they should have been published tell me if the story captured you in the comments
