Years later, with his wife Helena, Alexander fathered three children, two of whom inherited the Corvinus Strain in active form, his twin sons Marcus and William. Marcus was bitten by a bat and became the first vampire. William was bitten by a wolf and became the first Lycan. William became a savage anthropomorphic wolf-beast, something Alexander attributed to his uncontrollable rage.
William went on an uncontrollable rampage, infecting whomever he bit or clawed. Even those killed by William soon came back to life as the effects of William's mutated Corvinus strain proved powerful enough to reanimate the dead, turning them into the first generation of Lycans. Those infected became raging monsters causing legions of uncontrollable Lycan monsters to be spawned across Hungary. To bring his brother under control, Marcus approached the dying warlord Viktor, promising him immortality as a Vampire in return for his army and military expertise in capturing William. His army was also turned, creating the Death Dealers. After many battles against William and his raging progeny, he was finally captured. Viktor betrayed Marcus and ordered that William be locked away for all time in a special cage, the location of which was kept from Marcus.
The strain was also carried by the other descendants of Corvinus in its dormant form. The first person who inherited the Corvinus Strain in dormant form was Alexander's third and unnamed son. Through him, the Corvinus Strain was preserved in its pure form, and was eventually passed down to a man named Michael Corvin. Because of the simple ability of the Corvinus Strain to multiply from parent to offspring, anyone who is biologically related to Corvinus' third son is a possible carrier of the strain, though it is shown by the Lycans attempts to locate a carrier that many of the Corvinus descendents no longer carry the strain, due to it having been most likely bred out of several bloodlines descended from Alexander's third son.
The Vampire, Selene, absorbed the Corvinus Strain through direct ingestion of Lorenz Macaro (Alexander Corvinus' modern identity)'s blood, reinforcing the residual Corvinus Strain in her Vampire Strain, and, thus, fusing the full strengths of both strains for the first time. Her strength and healing abilities were enhanced to a level equivalent to that of a Vampire-dominant Hybrid, even being able to withstand direct exposure to sunlight. However, Selene is not a hybrid, she is merely an extremely powerful vampire.
