In able for us to understand the story, we have to first understand what really happened 1000 years before the time in which Trinity Blood was set. The late author was able to leave scrapbooks and notes behind, which allowed us to see how he would have wanted the story to end.
It was around the year 2080, when the earth was experiencing a population boom. The earth already reached a population of 12 billion, and humans are finding it hard to allocate resources. Because of this, the United Nations decided to start a project that aimed to build colonies in Mars. They called this "The Red Mars Project" in which the whole world also participated.
Upon the arrival of the first batch of people in Mars, they discovered this strange, alien artifact. Soon, they found out that this artifact was indeed left by aliens long ago, and that it contained a very advanced technology, which they called "Bachilus/Bacillus". This Bachilus/Bacillus is actually a nanomachine, in which can be integrated into the body. It allows that person's body to adapt to the harsher conditions of mars. The colonies decided to integrate this into their bodies, of course and gave them the ability to survive the Martian environment. In a sense, they became better than an ordinary human living in earth.
Because of this, the world became very much interested in the Bachilus/Bacillus. Everyone wanted to be able to integrate such things into their bodies as well. Thus, the Armageddon started. This left earth in a devastated state, wherein most of the world was destroyed by nuclear weapons. Only the continent of Europe was left, as it was mostly affected by biological weapons, hence even cathedrals were left standing. The human race was close to extinction. (This occurred around 2100 AD-ish)
When the first batch of human colonizers from Mars decided to return to earth (they were referred to as "returners" wink to try and see what has happened after the Armageddon, they found out that the earth was a wreck, and all technology that civilization has achieved was lost to the war. They helped the humans rebuild what was left. Life returned to the old days, a reminiscent of the medieval ages. Of course, these "Returners" have the Bachilus/Bacillus in their blood, so they are in effect, stronger and has a lifespan of 300 years.
The second batch of returners came and they were very much against the human race, and this brought about a conflict, which almost left the humans crippled. The returners did initially have the advantage. A war broke out between the returners and the humans. This time came to be known as the "Dark ages". However, something occurred to the Bachilus/Bacillus. Because of the difference in the various conditions between earth and mars, the Bachilus/Bacillus has somehow mutated into something that consumes it's host's red blood cells. This brought about the need for blood of the host. Another effect was that they became very sensitive to the UV rays from the sun, hence they are unable to wander about during daytime.
When the human race was losing hope, this Bachilus/Bacillus mutation gave an advantage to them. With the help of the "good returners", they were able to drive the rebel returners to eastern Europe, hence at the setting of the Trinity Blood story, humans are living in western Europe, and the vampires, in eastern Europe. Some returners inhabit western Europe, but these are the ones on the human's side, or those that were unable to flee to eastern Europe during the war.
The time where Trinity Blood was set was the time after this war...
The Test tube babies were created solely to be in charge of the Red Mars Project when the colonizers will be in Mars. They were genetically modified beings and age 1.5 times slower than a normal human being. Lilith Sahl was born in South Asia, Cain in Berlin, Abel in London and Seth in America. (thought it was Canada?).
Another 100,000 people were sent to Mars, though their purpose is not to live there but, rather to prepare the Martian terrain for human inhabitants. At one point, several colonizers did not like their leader, Abel Nightroad for some reason. They plotted against him and they decided to lure him out of safe human grounds into the Martian wilderness. He was left alone and he was about to die as he was running out of oxygen, and only Lilith, came, in a car, to save him. However, Lilith's car broke down so they are both in danger. This is when they found a strange space ship and decided to explore it. The space ship saved them somehow from dying in the Martian terrains.
In the space ship, they found dead, preserved bodies of aliens. Some bodies seem to more preserved than others, in particular, the bodies of what seem to be the aliens with a high-ranking position. Their technology level seems to be extremely high as well, higher than that of Earth. This space craft came to be known as "The Ark". People took and examined the alien bodies. Seth was the one who discovered the Bacillus (Kudorak?) and another type of Bacillus which has a cross-shape, which she called "Crusnik". It is so much harder to 'grow' these Crusniks, so much more difficult than growing the normal Bacillus. They failed many times trying to grow these things.
There was a terrible incident in which Cain and another Colonizer had an accident during one of the project works. They were at dying point. Seth decided to inject them both with the Crusnik, in an attempt to save them. However, instead of saving them, it killed them both. Cain actually died... but after a while, however, Cain just suddenly stood up and became alive again. The other colonizer however, remained dead.
They also came to discover that the Crusnik only seems to be compatible with the genetically-modified humans (namely Seth, Lilith, Cain and Abel), so they froze the Crusnik to keep it and decided to mass-produce the normal Bacillus for the other colonizers.
Because the space ship discovery had such high technology, every other country wanted to gain possession of it. Among the colonizers were representatives of each country, and they all want to be the one in charge of the space ship. This started a Martian civil war, which eventually destroyed their space ship to return home, as well as their communication with earth.
Meanwhile, on earth, Armageddon is also happening for more or less the same reasons.
The Martians decided to build another spacecraft to return home, and this took well over 80 years. They modeled this spacecraft with "The Ark".
The returners called their spacecraft "The Ark" as it was modeled after the Ark that they found on Mars. They successfully returned to Earth and found it in such a devastated state. The returners vowed to help their "fellow" human beings upon seeing this.
They looked for a relatively unpolluted place, which was Europe and some surrounding area. They parked their spacecraft above an African mountain (?). They created a lift/elevator from the Ark to the top of the mountain.
After a while, something happened to the Bacillus in their blood (as was explained earlier), perhaps because the Earth is closer to the sun than to Mars, and it increased their activity somehow. This, of course produced the symptoms of vampirism. The returners were killing earthlings, in as much as they don't want to. This created the rift between the earth inhabitants and the returners.
At this point, Cain had already fused his mind, 100% with the Crusnik and he started to want to destroy the world.
All the Nightlord siblings were on the returner's side apart from Lilith. They used their Crusnik power against the earth inhabitants. This literally killed millions and millions of people. Lilith got extremely upset because of this and she wanted to help the earth inhabitants. She then decided to fuse herself with the Crusnik and became Crusnik 04.
She went down and helped the earth inhabitants, she made contact with Grigori (number?), the current Vatican pope at that time. She gave them technology and supplied electricity to Budapest, Istvan etc. She commanded an army, which encountered a battle with Seth, Cain and Abel's army in Paris, in which the three Nightlord siblings lost to her. At this point, Lilith and the earth people were winning.
Cain told Abel and Seth that he wanted to make peace and would like to talk to Lilith. In fact, he just really wanted to kill her. Lilith descended up the Ark to meet Cain, only to find out she was about to be killed. They battled for a while, Cain was heavily wounded during the incident, but Lillith was dead.
Abel found out about the lie that Cain did and that he had killed Lililth, and suddenly went berserk. He threw Cain out of the Ark and started destroying the Ark. Taking Lilith's body down to earth, he was taken in by the Vatican.
Lilith was buried in an underground cemetery in Rome. Abel guarded her tomb for 900 years from then on.
