At the very beginning, all the pure-blood families were of equal standing. As time passed, the Caldwell family soared politically, leaving the other families behind.
Charles Clement was one of the pure-blood families who did not care much about being pure-blood or not.

He liked to live a good, stress-free life.
He was even a little eccentric because he turned his entire family into vegetarians.
Last but not least, he taught the most boring class at Dominion Central University.
Nevertheless, Lord Marcus Caldwell held him in high regard.
While the other pure-blood vampires mingled with each other, connecting and reconnecting to help each other in various ways, this good friend of Lord Marcus Caldwell came to talk to him during the Blood Ball.
"Congratulations, Marcus, on a new addition to your highly esteemed family," he said, raising a glass of blood to toast the lord.
Lord Marcus Caldwell scoffed.
