What are the vampaneze?

The Vampaneze are in the series "Cirque Du Freak" ( The Saga of Darren Shan in Britain) and are the cousins of the vampires. They broke away from the clan, because they thought that it wasnt noble to leave a human alive after feeding upon them. They always kill when they feed. They have purple skin, and red hair, lips and nails. They are not necessarily evil, because they have noble ideas, and they do not think that killing humans is a crime. They never lie, and are extremely loyal.

The vampaneze dont have purple skin, and red hair, well some do, because Steve (too hot to be a vampaneze) doesn't have purple skin and red hair, but oddly enough his eyes change color. vampire's eyes change color, but vampaneze's dont( i would know im a vampire) (not jokin')
