Caius wasn't unaware of the danger of Vampires. He just never cared all that much about it in the pursuit of his goals. To be honest, if he now said he cared, it would be a lie because he still didn't.
Really, even if Leonce Duval wasn't clearly a lunatic and just a Vampire Hunter, Caius would still consider him the enemy. It wasn't about who was the worst between the two sides but rather who he had already decided to ally with.
It was all about interests.
And while he hadn't ever gone after innocent humans to quench his thirst like every other vampire, Caius felt he was as much a monster as they were.
Even now, as much as he understood Elenor's fear and her pain, he wasn't fueled with a desire to rid the world of vampires. He still shut his mind from the pain and agony and death the Leopold Coven was causing to feed and Evolve because he had use for them.
