Quotes 

• Alexander Corvinus : For centuries I've stood back and watched the havoc my sons have wrought on each other, and on humanity - not the legacy I prayed for the morning I watched them enter this world... And it's been a tiresome duty - keeping the war contained, cleaning up the mess, hiding my family's unfortunate history.

  Michael Corvin : Couldn't you have stopped it?

  Selene : Yes!

  Alexander Corvinus : Could you kill your own sons?

  Selene : You know what Marcus will do! If he finds me, he finds William's prison! You have to help us stop him!

  Alexander Corvinus : You are asking me to help you kill my son - YOU, a Death Dealer? How many innocents have YOU slain in your six-century quest to avenge your family? Spare me your self-righteous declarations! You are no different from Marcus and even less noble than William - at least HE cannot control his savagery!

  Selene : Everything I've done can be laid at YOUR feet - hundreds of thousands have died because of your inability to accept that your sons are monsters, that they CREATE monsters!

• Selene : You're Alexander Corvinus...

  Alexander Corvinus : There was a time when I was known by that name... by any name, I am still your forefather.

• Marcus : Hello Father.

  Alexander Corvinus : You are unwelcome in my presence.

  Marcus : Ah. The predictable heart that never thaws. Pity it beats within such a fool. The eldest of the immortals, yet you have made no attempt to seize your destiny.

  Alexander Corvinus : We are oddities of nature, you and I. Nothing more! This is a world for humanity.

  Marcus : And that petty sentiment explains why you rejected your sons? Why you stood by for over half a millennium as William suffered alone in darkness? No, Father, I have no respect for your petty sentiment. Viktor's key. Where is it?

  Alexander Corvinus : Whatever plan you have for William is futile. You cannot control your brother.

  Marcus : Oh, I am stronger now. And our bond is greater than you have ever wanted to acknowledge.

  Alexander Corvinus : You're wrong. Soon you'll be drowning in Lycans just like before.

  Marcus : Oh, not Lycans, Father, or Vampires. A new race created in the image of their maker. Their new God. Me.

  [Marcus impales Alexander to the wall with his talon] 

  Marcus : And a true God

  [picks up a sword] 

  Marcus : has no father.

  [Marcus drives the sword through Alexander, then takes the key out of his top pocket] 

  Alexander Corvinus : You will fail.

• Selene : What will I become?

  Alexander Corvinus : The future.
