Did you know
• The title "Trinity Blood" obviously alludes to the three blood strains featured in the series: Terrans (humans), Methuselahs (vampires) and Crusniks (über-vampires). However, it also hints at the three Crusniks holding positions in different associations: Abel Nightroad - the Vatican (AX division); Cain Nightroad - the Rosenkreuz Orden; and Seth Nightroad - the Methuselah Empire. Finally, it refers to the three major kingdoms in the series: the Vatican, the Methuselah Empire and the Kingdom of Albion.
• The race of vampires is known as Methuselahs. In the Bible, Methuselah was famous for his long life (he lived to be 969 years old); this alludes to the vampires' longevity.
• Three empires exist in the series: the Vatican, the Methuselah Empire and the Kingdom of Albion. The Vatican has Rome as its capital and is primarily Catholic-Christian. Its rival, the Methuselah Empire, has its capital in Byzantium and possesses a distinctly Eastern culture (this holds a parallel with the historic clash between the Christians and the Muslims). The Kingdom of Albion, with its mix of Terran and Methuselah, is a futuristic version of the United Kingdom (Albion is another name for Great Britain).
