Vampires do not age, except on some occasions when they have been deprived of blood for extended periods of time. However, the vampire will be rejuvenated when as soon as he gets fresh blood supply.

Most of the vampire's powers increase over the centuries with age and experience.  These centuries-spanning creatures may eventually become Vampire Regents or Elders, who are capable of even greater feats than the common vampire.

Dracula is considered as the Master of all Vampires but it is unsure if he was the first vampire on earth.
