Overview

The Strix, a prominent faction in the Vampire Diaries universe, derive their uniqueness from their elite and selective membership, making them a fascinating cornerstone of the plot. It is an ancient society with many powerful vampires, including only the oldest and most powerful vampires. Its hierarchy includes age and cunning, factors that lead to fierce competition and power struggles within the group. Invisible to the human eye, the Strix is an integrated and functioning body in the supernatural realm, full of ancient wisdom and strategies.

The Society is meant to protect and energize its members, thus strengthening the collective power of the faction. This combination of fierce intrigue and fierce loyalty makes the Strix faction a tantalizing paradox.
Additionally, Strix embraces the complex morality of The Vampire Diaries; it's not all bad and it's not all good, echoing shades of gray elsewhere in the universe. Filling out an already layered story, Strix represents the multifaceted world of The Vampire Diaries, pushing the boundaries of power, loyalty, and morality.

History

The Strix are an ancient and powerful faction of the Vampire Diaries universe. They were originally founded over a thousand years ago by the amazing vampire Elijah Mikaelson, who wanted to create an extraordinary society made up of only the most prominent individuals in the vampire community. The Strix quickly gained a reputation for their unmatched strength, cunning, and insane ruthlessness.
Despite their monstrous image, the Strix were not just a pack of wild beasts. They had complex hierarchies, strict codes of conduct, and an undying zeal for the advancement of art, culture, and knowledge. Indeed, their influence permeated various aspects of civilization and played a central role in important historical periods such as the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution.
However, the Strix's desire for power often brought it into conflict with other supernatural factions. Over the centuries, they have fought countless wars, formed and broken countless alliances, leaving a trail of destruction. This relentless pursuit of dominance ultimately led to their downfall. The other factions, tired of the ruthless ambitions of the Strix, banded together to overthrow them, leaving them nearly powerless in the 21st century. Despite their diminished status, the Strix continue to survive by adapting to the modern world while maintaining their past glory. Despite all this, the Strix remains a testament to Elijah's original vision, a symbol of the eternal struggle between the vampire's hedonistic nature and the desire for a greater purpose.
