Definition: The word "archvampire" comes from the Greek word "archaeosdemia." It refers to a specific type of vampire, which is said to be malevolent due to his affinity for ancient artifacts, specifically those of Egypt. This archetype typically has a dark, protective aura and is associated with destruction, death, and the undead. The term originated in the 18th century but is now more commonly used today to refer to vampires that are known to possess a certain degree of control over other vampires through their own artifacts or interactions with them.
