The Council came about in ancient times, after mass killings from fledgelings led to widespread fear

The Council came about in ancient times, after mass killings from fledgelings led to widespread fear and resentment of their kind. The older vampires banded together to create a Council that set up rules and regulations for their kind, which includes matters regarding turning, raising fledgelings, etc. In more modern times, there are more restrictions on circumstances in which vampires can interact with mundane humans. They keep a registry of all existing vampires, which is somewhat helped by the older members being closer to the origin of their bloodline and being able to sense when new vampires of their bloodlines are made. The Council is also responsible for exacting punishments and such for disobeying their laws.

In modern times, the Council consists of ten members, five older members and five younger members. Every ten years, one of the older members is to step down and be replaced, with the existing council nominating an individual to take their place. The nominee can accept or reject, with the latter case resulting in the council nominating a new member. The younger members have a different system—they are nominated and elected by the general vampiric community.
