Notable Features. In the Underworld franchise, Lycans and Werewolves are biologically immortal transgenics, as opposed to supernaturally immortal demons of pop culture. However, as in pop culture, the Lycans in the Underworld franchise are also carnivores, meaning that they feed on meat. To kill a lycan, one should have to sever the spine from its body. They cannot be killed using silver. On the other hand, a werewolf can be killed with silver objects piercing them into the head or the heart.

Alexander was a Hungarian nobleman and warlord who had ascended to power in the early seasons of the 5th century, just in time to watch his home village be ravaged by a plague. Alexander was the only survivor: the bearer of a rare genetic mutation , his body was able to adapt the virus in an immune response, causing him to become the first of the Immortals. Years later, Alexander married a woman named Helena and together, they had three sons, two of whom inherited their father's immortality in its active state, and were thus born immortal.
Their third son inherited his father's immortality in its recessive state, and was thus born mortal. At some point, Helena passed away. At some later point, one of Alexander's Immortal sons, William , was bitten by a rabid mountain wolf as the twin brothers were out riding one night. After a long, slow, excruciating metamorphosis, William became the very first Werewolf : a raging, uncontrollable bipedal monster wolf, whose bite passed on his highly aggressive and infectious Lycanthropy virus, making Werewolves of all of his victims.
Following this, Alexander attempted to restrain William to contain the outbreak of Werewolves, but was unsuccessful. Alexander's second Immortal son, Marcus , was later bitten by a bat, becoming the first Vampire. Seeking to eliminate the threat posed by his twin brother's offspring and bring William back to his side, Marcus sought out a dying warlord named Viktor and made a bargain with him; immortality in exchange for Viktor's military genius.
During this time, Alexander established a military force of his own , in his own attempt to quell William's plague. While the Vampire Elders waged their campaign to capture and contain William, Alexander chose instead to focus on keeping the war contained from spilling into the mortal realm. When William was captured by the Vampires in AD and locked away by Viktor, Marcus partially blamed Alexander, reasoning that his father had done nothing to help save William.
By the early 21st century, Alexander is operating under the alias of Lorenz Macaro, and runs his operation from his ship, the Sancta Helena. He meets with Selene and Michael Corvin , a Vampire and Hybrid who are being hunted by Marcus, who beg his help to destroy his sons. He reveals that no matter what his children have become, he cannot help to destroy them.
Alexander has come into possession of Viktor's body, as well as Viktor's half of the prison key that holds William. He is visited by Marcus who confronts him about his rejection of his Immortal sons, and demands to know where Viktor's key is hidden.
Alexander was the only survivor of the plague. His body had adapted to the virus, and through some unknown means consequently making him the first true immortal. Years later, with his wife Helena, he fathered three children, two of whom inherited the immortal strain in its active form: twin brothers Marcus and William Corvinus.
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 beast that was unable to ever assume human form again, something Alexander attributed to his uncontrollable rage.
Marcus and his Vampire army led by Viktor captured William and locked him in a secret prison for over years, the location of which was kept from Marcus.
When Viktor ordered his vampire daughter executed for becoming impregnated by a Lycan, he inadvertently touched off a centuries long war between werewolves and Vampires. Alexander chose to keep the war contained from ever spilling into the mortal realm.
He hired humans to clean up after the battles and to help conceal their existence from the normal human population. Alexander states in Underworld: Evolution that he believes he and his sons were oddities of nature, and that the world is not theirs to conquer but belongs to the humans. He refuses to help Selene and Michael Corvin kill either of his sons, but also refused to help Marcus free his brother from prison.
