Hi Dark,
There are several origin myths about Lilith, and yes one of them
involves the story about her being the first wife of Adam. She is one of
the more interesting and colorful demons of ancient mythology and
legend. Today, of course, instead of merely being a demon books, movies,
and games changed her into a vampire instead of a demon per say.

that's not a series I've ever heard of at all Tom, ---- they do sound
fun though.
If I remember my mythology, part of the Lilith myth was that she was
Adam's first wife created before Eeve, ---- but was unfaithful and
unpleasant so turned into the first vampire.
there is also of course the common belief that Cane who killed Able
was punished with a cursed immortality.
One modern retelling of the Beeawolf story I read had Grendel as the
third and last child of Cane, ---- though in other circles, (such as
the White Wolf world of darkness background), kain was said to be the
first vampire and stil be around, ----- though also actually regret
his crimes and actually be a nice person. One plot I heard of had an
ancient vampire of the Bali clan causing severe problems and trying to
start wars which would end the world, ---- at which point he just
disappeared and the name Kane was left on the wall.
anyway before this gets too much into strange vampire law I'd better
sotp.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
