Markus Corvinus
The following list of characters from the ''Underworld'' franchise. Vampires Their metamorphosis is not nearly as startling as their Lycan counterparts.

These abilities are maintained by feeding on blood, which is a prominent factor in their healing capabilities in addition to being strengthened with age.
