The term "kine" (an archaic term for cattle) is the opposite of this, and refers to humans.

The mythic-historical origins of the Followers of Set are in ancient Egypt, as they claim to be descended from the dark god Set (who is also identified with Typhon) rather than Caine, the father of all vampires.

The Baali are a bloodline of vampires associated with demon worship.Much of the Baali symbolism is Mesopotamian and Phoenician in origin. The very name Baali is originated from the Phoenician word Ba'al, meaning "great lord".
