Report
Dragon
A system is a noose. Its purpose is to hang the sterile and determine who among us possesses the will to greatness. The Vampire Hunter has this will, and so he has earned his knowledge.
The blood bags are a kind of system - a very recent one. They allow the vampires to sustain a unified camp, but they also dull their senses and their spirit. It is not in their nature to be sedentary. Deep down they want to hunt to abandon all banners. Someone deprives them of this, and so deep down they want you to kill them.

I hate these men of mystery types. Ooh, look at me, I've got a backstory. I'll bet you it involves vampires killing his family. Tragic, I'm sure.
Let's focus on facts and results. Those human blood bags are what's allowing the vampires to become more controlled and sedentary than they actually are. This isn't evolution. Someone figured this shit out and administered it because they want to lead a unified vampire front. For what purpose? The answer to that question lies in further facts and results.

The Vampire Hunter - one simply can't trust anyone without a real name and at least five years of properly filed paperwork. Such are the times.
Nonetheless, his poisoned blood mixture shows promising results. Whatever his story, I'm sure it doesn't speak well of vampires.
Your foray into the Observatory offers wonderful insight into their hierarchical structure. Their greatest weakness - other than poisoned blood bags - has always been a lack of administrative management. We must focus our efforts on whoever - or whatever - has succeeded in uniting them under a banner.
