The Catholic Church decided the vampires were evil, vile monsters and set about to destroy them. Vampires may be immortal, but living forever doesn't mean you can't die. If someone manages to kill you, well, you're shit out of luck, aren't you? They rebelled, killed what they could, and sterilized the rest. For a race that's dependent on breeding sexually instead of biting like myth and legend like to claim, being unable to reproduce and carry on the species ruined them in the end. The last known remnants of the sanguine vampiris lived in the Indian Himalayas and were bombed out, from what we could tell.
