The Toreador Antediluvian is known for many things and some of them might even be true. Traditionally, the founder is held to be Arikel, a sculptor who served Caine in Enoch. However, an alternate interpretation is that the Antediluvian was the inspiration for many goddesses of the fertile crescent, particularly Ishtar, Inanna, and Astarte. If this is the case, the founder was most likely a bull dancer, a form of bullfighter who performed in temple rituals. The name of the clan would then ultimately be a modern interpretation of this ancient craft.
Arikel is generally held to be beautiful, fickle, vain and carrying on affairs with the other Antediluvians. She may be especially despised by Absimiliard who both lusts for her and seeks to destroy her.
