Our Antediluvian founder was believed to be an artist in the first city (Enoch) named Arikel, or possibly Ishtar.
At Cain's request she created a beautiful mural which showed the vampires' eternal struggle with the beast and unveiled it before him and one of his childer.
In his fury at the depiction, Cain and his childe never saw the final panel which showed how she believed that vampires could live at peace with their beast.
Cain destroyed the mural and ordered his childe to drain Arikel dry. As he looked down at the dying artist he cursed her to forever be distracted by beauty and ordered his childe to embrace her. His power was such that his curse lingers in the blood of all Toreador.
