A long time ago, when humans had just evolved into the form they are in these days, Gaia called for help from the other planets in the galaxy. These humans were destroying her land and killing her creatures and she was rather worried. The Moon answered Gaia's plea and created the True Ancestor vampires to feed on humans and keep them in check. Type Moon (the most powerful creature on the moon), also known as Brunestud of the Crimson Moon came to Earth in search of something interesting.
He was pretty fortunate in what he found. In a certain village, during humanity's tribal times, existed a 14 year old boy. This boy was a “Planet Terminal” and had an ability called “demonization” which allowed him to make manifest any creature a human could imagine. Because of this, the village people worshiped him. This worship was very gruesome because, to prevent him from leaving, they cut off the boy's arms and legs. Hearing of this boy, the Crimson Moon came to this village and set a decree. If they could imagine a powerful enough creature for the boy to bring to life that could defeat him, he would leave the village alone. If not, he would kill everyone.
The boy ended up bringing creature after creature to life at the villager's whims. They wished to live but none of the creatures they could imagine were powerful enough to destroy the Crimson Moon. He ended up wiping out the village and the poor boy died of exhaustion, bringing to life more creatures than he could handle. But the Crimson Moon enjoyed this ability, thought it was true art, and turned the boy into a vampire. When the boy came to, he ordered him to create four creatures to become his arms and legs. The boy did so and became the person we know as Merem Solomon.
Merem felt he owed a great debt to the Crimson Moon and followed him everywhere he went. He was immortal now so death was far beyond his realm. Unfortunately for him, Zelretch, the great Magus, got into an argument with the Crimson Moon. The Crimson Moon thought it would be a good idea to crash the moon into Earth and Zelretch pretty much disagreed entirely. After a long fight, Zelretch ended up being turned into a vampire and the Crimson Moon was defeated and killed.
The Crimson Moon, not wanting to lose his existence, placed shards of himself into two of his ancestors; Arcueid and Altrouge Brunestud. The two sisters were hardly concerned about who would be the real successor to the throne of “Type Moon” but Merem supported Arcueid as the real ancestor to the throne, unlike many of the other vampires that existed. Merem came to hate Altrouge as a false Princess and wanted nothing to do with her.
A great sorcerer named Roa came into existence after this. In the Church, he created an organization that would hunt down vampires called the Burial Organization. This was the human's first offensive against the race that had plagued them for so long. Seeing the problem, Merem offered his services to the Burial Organization. In return, he could study the artifacts that the Church kept in storage. They snapped up this deal, knowing that they were just using the old vampire. Merem knew he was being used but, in return, he used the Church. He wanted to study history and that's what he got.
Eight hundred years ago, Roa did something rather devious. He tricked Arcueid into turning him into a vampire. Arcueid went insane and Altrouge was forced to defeat her. Then as she went to face off against Roa, she was pounded into the ground by the sorcerer's magic and new vampire abilities. Merem came to appreciate Roa for this victory against Altrouge but Arcueid, after recovering, quickly sought to kill Roa. After eighteen reincarnations, Roa was finally permanently killed by Tohno Shiki.
Some period of time after this, Ciel, one of Merem's co-workers, is given what is considered a suicide mission. Merem, eager to see Ciel's want to live but urge to die, tagged along. He even ate the person who was supposed to be Ciel's partner so he could be given the spot to join. Unfortunately, their target ended up being more powerful than Merem imagined and he ended up being temporarily injured. Cue Ciel dragging him back so he could quickly heal up.
After this, all the other vampires started to conspire against Arcueid. After all, if they acted up, she would kill them. Merem was against this movement among the other vampires and preferred to assist Arcueid behind the scenes. And that, unfortunately, brings up to the end of the story. If and when Tsukihime 2 comes out, we'll get more information.
