Diangeuaw
Diangeuaw is the godlike progenitor of the vampires of the Three Kingdoms. He is the son of Belenos with a human woman. At birth, the goddess Dôn cursed him to never have sons of his own. In compensation, Belenos granted his son immortality, but this angered Arawn who responded with a third tynged that Diangeuaw could not eat flesh, grain or fruit but only feast upon water and blood. As retaliation towards the gods, Diangeuaw goaded the brothers Gilfaethwy and Gwydion to their own rebellion, leading to the rape of Goewin and the stealing of Pryderi of Dyfed's pigs.

By accident, Diangeuaw discovered that he could pass some of the benefits and limitations of his curse to others. He tricked Beli Mawr, Goedwin's firstborn son to it.

Diangeuaw and Beli Mawr fought in the Cad Goddeu on the side of Arawn against Gwydion. His other blood progeny Agrona and Melyn-Goch give their support to Gwydion. Following Gwydion's victory, Diangeuaw fell into an endless slumber and was barrowed within the bryn celli ddu. Most of his army were already destroyed but a handful escaped and slipped otherworld and became the progenitors of the vampire races in other parts of the world.

Beli Mawr
he oldest of Diangeuaw's blood progeny, Beli Mawr became the leader of the vampires in Cymru between his maker's barrowing and the end of the War of Salt & Silver (600 BC) when he was likewised entombed on the Holy Isle, marking the beginning of the Interregum of Man in Britain.

When Diangeuaw & Doamna Zinelor awoke him and the rest of the Bygones, he immediately created a small legion of progeny, the Fyddin Waed. They struck throughout Wales and secured the land for Beli Mawr and the other Elder or Master vampires who allied themselves with him. The Resurgence Era of 1699-1837 saw many other supernatural or metahuman factions emerge and claim what territory they could from humaity. In 1837, the Treaty of Souls was signed and the Elite of Blood/Fae secured UK domination. Before then, in 1820, the Treaty of Ivy was made between King Beli Mawr, King Gwynn ap Nudd and the human King-Regent George IV which ended the English conquest of Wales and the Acts of Union.
