Vampires Folkloric creatures, thought to be the re-animated corpses of human beings and said to live on human or animal blood. They often have unnatural powers and the ability to physically transform. – Pad of Definitions (1.20 Dead Man's Blood), Official Website

History

The Alpha Vampire was the very first vampire and has a psychic connection with other vampires, whom he deems his "children." By the year 2006, vampires had been hunted so intensively and become so rare that John Winchester had thought they were extinct. But in the year 2011, as directed by Eve, the Alpha Vampire uses his psychic connection to encourage vampires to focus on increasing their numbers. Dean kills all the vampires he finds in one nest, but it is unknown how many other nests may have been created or increased their numbers.

In 2017, the British Men of Letters enacted Project V -- the systematic elimination of all vampires located in the American Midwest. The BMOL were able to dwindle the vampire population in the Midwest from 241 to a single nest of 11.

In Apocalypse World, it was shown that after the Apocalypse occurred and the human population dwindled significantly, vampires, like all monsters reverted to a more feral and instinctual state of being.

Characteristics

'Vampires nest in groups of eight to ten. Smaller packs are sent to hunt for food. Victims are taken to the nest where the pack keeps them alive, bleeding them for days or weeks.' – Dean Winchester (1.20 Dead Man's Blood), John's Journal

A vampire is created when a person ingests vampire blood, but the transformation is not complete until they feed on human blood. Once turned, they suffer from bloodlust and must feed on blood, human or animal, to survive. In rare cases, the transformation results in bloodshot eyes as seen with Gordon Walker and Alex Jones. Unlike folkloric vampires, they do not require an invitation to enter a home and are not killed by sunlight, however prolonged exposure to sunlight can be painful. They also prefer to live in packs in locations called nests, and will mate for life. After death, like all monsters, vampire souls go to Purgatory.

Gordon Walker's POV after being turned into a vampire.

A vampire must feed on blood to survive — preferably human blood — although they can subsist on animal blood. Some vampires, such as those formerly led by Sheriff Len Cuse, also devour organs and flesh, as part of a new age philosophy related to not wasting any part of the kill.

Powers and abilities

• Enhanced senses – Vampires are able to smell humans and vampires over long distances, once a vampire has your scent, they have it for life. Vampires also have the ability to see in pitch darkness, and have been known to exhibit an animalistic eyeshine effect (only shown in 1.20 Dead Man's Blood and 12.14 The Raid).
• Immortality – Once a human is turned, they become immortal and unchanging.
• Infectious blood – Vampiric blood is highly infectious, a human can be turned by being fed a vampire's blood or if the vampiric blood comes into contact with an open wound or cut.
• Regeneration – If a vampire has enough blood to feed on, they can heal quickly from any wound besides amputation.
• Retractable fangs – Vampires have a second row of sharp teeth that emerge from their gums and extend beyond their human teeth, allowing them to rip out the throats of their prey.

Weaknesses

• Anti-Vamp Device – A cylindrical device created by the British Men of Letters that emits a smoke that is toxic to vampires, killing them via suffocation.
• The Colt – A special bullet fired from the Colt can kill a vampire. The gun is capable of even killing the Alpha Vampire.
• Dead man's blood – A syringe of blood from a corpse can paralyze a vampire and cause wounds that are slow to heal. More recently, hunters have taken to coating bullets with dead man's blood to achieve the same effect.

The cure for vampirism.

• Decapitation – Cutting off the head of a vampire will kill it.
• Scent masking – Burning saffron, skunk's cabbage and trillium blocks a vampires scent. John Winchester gives these to Dean to put on the fire. He also tells Dean to dust their clothes with the ashes to stand a chance of not being detected.. Sam and Dean later use it when hiding from Gordon
• Severe physical harm – Serious physical injuries, while not fatal to vampires, can cause them debilitating harm for a time. With enough blood they can heal, but it can be extremely effective in the short term.
• Smiting – Angels can burn vampires from the inside out with a touch, killing them.
• Sunlight – Not deadly, but can cause a nasty sunburn and their eyesight is sensitive to UV light. Vampires prefer to sleep during the day.
• Vampire Cure – A cure for vampirism exists, but only if the vampire has not yet drunk human blood. The infected will need to drink a mixture that includes the blood of the vampire that turned them to reverse the effects of the vampirism.
• Vamptonite – The blood of humans who has been fed the Leviathan food additive is fatal to any vampire who ingests it. Called "vamptonite" by Dean, this is also effective if the blood is injected directly from a syringe.

One of the girls he has recently turned is caught and interrogated by Sam and Dean, which puts them on his trail, but the timely arrival of a vengeful Gordon Walker prevents them from pursuing Dixon.

In a cruel twist of fate, Dixon captures Gordon and turns him into a vampire as punishment for the vampires he's killed in the past. Gordon is not a passive victim and he uses his new strength to murder Dixon's girls and escape. This drives Dixon to despair and apathy, and when the Winchesters find his nest, he admits to everything he has done and allows them to kill him.

When Dean points out that Benny is a vampire, Benny insists that he only feeds on blood transfusions and that "I feed on blood, not people." However, before they can argue anymore, Castiel senses Leviathans approaching and three are forced to run. The three end up fighting two Leviathans and Dean decapitates one and Benny decapitates the other, saving Castiel much to Dean's shock.

Benny, knowing that if his maker gets wind of the fact that he is alive will come after him, goes after his maker to kill him first.

Benny wins the fight and kills all three vampires, but is badly injured and calls Dean for help. Dean brings Benny blood from Benny's truck to help him recover and Benny explains what he's doing so Dean decides to join him. Benny explains that his former nest are vampire pirates, or as Dean calls them, vampirates, who find private yachts going on long journey's, ambush them, feed on the owners and sink the boats to hide their crimes. Dean and Benny figure out from things Quentin had on him that the nest is on Prentis Island and head there with Benny explaining his own personal history of falling in love with one of the people he ambushed, abandoning his nest who's leader believes he's a god and being killed ultimately for his betrayal.

Heading down to meet Andrea, Benny is shocked to learn that instead of wanting to burn the operation to the ground and start a new life with him like he wants, Andrea wants to continue the piracy and hunting humans and starts to attack Benny when he refuses. However, Dean decapitates her from behind before she can attack.

Benny is left completely distraught by the experience and wonders why Dean kept his word and resurrected him rather than betraying him.

Vampires: Jimmy Day and Seth

In Conway Springs, Kansas, as Krissy Chambers and Aiden sit in a car at a make-out spot, a vampire attacks them, expecting easy prey.

Hunting the vampire that killed Josephine Barnes' family, Jimmy Day, Krissy, Aiden and Josephine come into contact with the Winchesters who are in town tracking vampire kills and found out about them. Aiden and Josephine find a young woman tied up in Jimmy's motel room, but he runs when confronted by them. Krissy takes Jimmy down with a dart filled with Dead Man's Blood, but he claims not to know what is going on and that he is innocent of the deaths of Josephine's family. Not believing him, Josephine cuts his head off.

The vampire Seth is hit in the eye with a dead man's blood dart by Krissy Chambers.

The next day, Victor Rogers pulls the three from school and shows them a surveillance photo of a female vampire he claims killed Krissy's father. He proves it to them as the vampire has on a necklace owned by Lee, but Sam isn't so sure that its real as it has no date stamp. At the same time, Dean learns from Jimmy's victim that she was actually kidnapped by a man in a hoodie and a blue van and that Jimmy only returned from Afghanistan a few weeks before, making him a new vampire. Josephine's family was also killed a few months before, making Jimmy innocent of their murders like he claimed.

Following a clue, Dean travels to the closed Conway Springs Lodge where he finds the woman who is completely confused as to what is going on. She is a vampire, but has been newly turned and hasn't fed yet. As a result, when the kids show up to kill her, Dean convinces them that something else is going on and to not kill her as if they can get the blood of the vampire that turned her, they can cure her.

At the same time, Sam goes after the man in the hoodie with Victor only to learn that he is a vampire named Seth working with Victor. Victor knocks Sam out and ties him up, planning to have Seth kill him. They have made a deal: Victor lets him roam free and in return, he works for Victor, killing people so he can create the next generation of hunters. Sam, Dean and the kids arrive and the Winchesters reveal the truth to them. Seth confirms he is the true killer of their families, something he says he enjoyed and Victor tries to convince them not to let it change anything. When that fails, Seth takes Aiden hostage so he and Victor can escape. When Josephine distracts Victor, Krissy shoots Seth in the right eye and chest with darts filled with dead man's blood, taking him down.

After everything is over, Seth is presumably killed and using his blood, the group is able to make the cure and administer it to his innocent victim, returning her to being human.

Armed with the anti-vamp device or AVD, the British operatives kill 230 of the 241 vampires in the Midwest Region of the United States with the remaining vampire retreating to a single nest in Wichita, Kansas. However, the deaths of so many vampires draws the attention of the Alpha Vampire who rallies the remaining Midwest vampires to strike back against the British Men of Letters.

At the time of the vampire raid, aided by the fact that hunter Pierce Moncrieff is on the Alpha Vampire's payroll, Mr. Ketch attempts to get Dean to join the British operation by taking him to deal with the nest themselves. In the nest, the two men find a single traumatized vampire that had remained behind. Before they kill her, the vampire reveals that the rest of the nest has gone after the British operation.

When the attack begins, Sam is in the BMOL mobile command as Mary Winchester was trying to entice him into joining the operation by showing Sam what they were up to. The vampires kill two British operatives and breach the compound, but Sam and Mary manage to capture the nest leader and kill another vampire. Before being killed by Mary, the vampire reveals that the Alpha Vampire is leading the raid.

Surrounded with no way to get help, Sam, Mary, Mick Davies, Pierce, Alton Morehead and Serena Colman attempt to come up with a plan to defend themselves, settling on using the AVD as a bug bomb in the compound's vents. With the AVD doubtful to harm the Alpha Vampire, Mick produces the Colt, the one weapon the British Men of Letters possess that could potentially kill the Alpha Vampire. After providing Mick with the ritual to create more bullets for the Colt, Sam leads Mary and Pierce to get the AVD. Sam is delayed killing two invading vampires, leaving Pierce and Mary to get the AVD. Pierce knocks Mary unconscious, destroys the AVD and gives the Alpha Vampire the all-clear.

With Pierce's help, the Alpha Vampire penetrates the control room and kills Alton and Serena. As the Alpha Vampire attempts to threaten Mick into ending the operation, Sam and Mary return and Mary knocks Pierce out while Sam retrieves the Colt and threatens the Alpha Vampire. In the standoff that follows, Mick manages to slip Sam a bullet for the gun while Mary distracts the Alpha Vampire so that Sam can load the bullet. Sam ultimately shoots the Alpha Vampire through the head with the Colt, killing him.

Following the death of the Alpha Vampire, Sam and Mary deal with a few stragglers and the remaining vampires flee after the death of the Alpha Vampire.

Vampires in Lore

According to most lore, vampires subsist by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of living creatures, regardless of whether they are undead or a living person. Although vampiric entities have been recorded in many cultures, the term "vampire" was not popularized until the early 18th century, after an influx of vampire superstition into Western Europe from areas where vampire legends were frequent, such as the Balkans and Eastern Europe. This increased level of vampire superstition in Europe led to mass hysteria and in some cases resulted in corpses actually being staked and people being accused of vampirism. Local variants of vampires were also known by different names, such as vrykolakas in Greece and strigoi in Romania.
