I've been wanting to learn more about ol Q for a while, so i couldn't resist to ask about him here in the question section. I read recently in the creature datafile that Ancients are supposed to be the oldest and most powerful of vampires, but from what I've seen of Q so far, he doesn't seem to be almighty. His mind powers are incredible, no doubt about that seeing as that he can easily brainwash and/or manipulate Elite vampires with the greatest of ease, but can he do anything else? Can Q regenerate himself like the Elites can? Or are his telapathic abilities the extent of his power?

Also, if Q is an ancient, does that mean he was born a vampire rather than turned? And if so, how did the ancient vampires come into being and how does their lifecycle work? I'm assuming they start off as kids and grow up like humans do but stop aging at somepoint in their demonic lives, right? ;D

You assume correctly! In a nutshell, ancients are considered first-generation pure-blood vampires, as in closest to the "first" vampires in existence. If I say too much about those though, I might give things away ^_^ His telepathic powers are pretty much his forte, but he is also very, very strong and he has a limited transformation power much like other vampires do. We haven't seen him use any of this just yet, but he does ^_^ He has a fairly good regeneration, like other vampires, but he's not super impervious like the elites. However, it takes a little more to kill him than a regular vampire (typically vampires in CTV must be beheaded, not just staked.) and in conjunction with typical vampire mythos, his body would also have to be burned to ash to make sure he was completely dead; if not, he could "reincarnate" himself, but it would take a very, very long time. Ancients are also more powerful because they are more magically imbued, so to speak. This is why they are very strong and have certain powers (like Q's mind power and his eyes) , but this also makes them a target for certain cannibalistic vampires who favor the taste of the blood as well as the power boost it gives them.
