He is the class president of the Night Class, both feared and respected by the other Night Class students. Kaname belongs to the Kuran family, the most powerful of the purebloods. The current rulers of vampire society, as setup by Kaname's grandfather, feared a return of the monarchy and saw Kaname as a threat. Kaname progressed the idea of peace between the two races, but only for the sake of his beloved sister.
