The Council of Elders

The Vampire Council, known for as the Council of Elders, was tasked with protecting the last remaining Pureblood familes alive.

The Council of Elders was the council, that controlled the vampire society. They were given control by the last Kuran King (Rido, Haruka and Juri Kuran's father) when he yielded his kingship. The Ichijo and Shiki family are known to be pro-council. The last head of the council was Asato Ichijo.

Before Yuki Cross was awakened to her pureblood state, the Hunters Association and the Vampire Council conspired together–or rather their leaders Asato Ichijo and the Hunter's Association President–with the intention of following the mad king Rido Kuran. Asato Ichijo's motive was to replace Kaname Kuran with Rido Kuran, kaing him the head of the Kuran family. This would also make the Council more powerful. In return for the Hunter's Association's help, Asato gave the President Rido Kuran's powerful pureblood blood, unfortunately turning him into a vampire.

The council was destroyed by Kaname Kuran, as being unable to distinguish between right and wrong, when he killed the highest members of the council. However since the destruction of the council, the former lower ranked members, young vampires have now been causing trouble going wild in the neighborhoods. .If a pureblood was killed,they would have their murderer killed.
