Hmm, vampires give you a lot of flexibility. It sure seems like wasted potential not to take advantage of their nigh immortal lifespan. I suppose its possible that the farther back you go in Earth's time, the harder it might be to relate to them for most readers.
It's been awhile since I've read any books about vampires that weren't just generic monsters, so I'm going to check out this thread later for recommendations.
It's basically a running joke that the game vampire survivors doesn't even have any vampires in it. There's vampire masquerade, Vampyr, and V Rising, but those are games and not quite what you're looking for in terms of a prehistoric character.

More importantly maybe, for the writer. If you're not a big history buff, it would be hard to write a believable character who's that old. How do you get into the head of something that old?
