The Feud
After William's immediate threat was finally ended, Lycans still existed. Their progeny later proved to be more usable to the vampires and were literally branded as subservient "watchdogs" for vampires during the daylight hours when the vampires' bodies were vulnerable to attack. By this point Lycans had learned enough control that they were primarily human, only involuntarily changing into their wolf forms at the full moon. A lycan slave named Lucian eventually led a rebellion against the vampires in response to the murder of his wife Sonja, the daughter of the vampire Elder Viktor. She was killed because she was pregnant, and a lycan/vampire hybrid that she would've given birth to was seen as an "abomination." This started a furious war, as Lucian gathered to him an army of Lycans. The war lasted for centuries, with some Lycans even learning how to control their transformations and change to wolf form at any time.
A short time after Lucian's escape, around 600 years before the films, Lucian's fortress was attacked by the Death Dealers. Lucian's forces slaughtered them, but Lucian offered the only survivor, Kraven, a deal. He would fake his own death, allowing Kraven to gain advancement, in return for allowing Lucian to live in secret. For the next 600 years, the Vampires hunted down many of the Lycans, driving them nearly to extinction. However, Lucian was still alive, and forged ahead with a plan to use the blood of a human descendant of Corvinus to turn himself into a hybrid, just as his murdered child would have been.
The films commence shortly before his plan is foiled by the Death Dealer Selene, who alerted Viktor to Kraven's treachery. As Lucian prepared to use Michael's blood to transform himself, he was betrayed and shot in the back by Kraven. As a massive battle erupted between the Lycans and Death Dealers, Lucian barely survived, and when he witnessed the love between Selene and Michael, told Selene to bite Michael, creating a Hybrid regardless. He was killed soon after by Kraven.
Soon after William was freed by his brother Marcus , as the two brothers reunited. William attacked Selene, who had come to prevent Marcus from freeing his brother. She was saved by the hybird Michael. William battled his distant relative, but was unable to kill the powerful Hybrid. Michael ripped William's head off, ending the threat of the oldest and most powerful Lycan. Marcus was also killed by Selene, who impaled him through the head with part of his own wing, and then knocked him into spinning helicopter blades, dismembering him. With his death, all of the Vampire Elders were killed.
